Yes! Totally forgot about that. Thanks.

There are a few cartoons, actually, although the only I could genuinely recommend is The Amazing World of Gumball. New episodes of Aquabats start in June, and it's not animated, but it's a hell of a fun time (and last season had an AMAZING, mind-blowing season finale). I think TMNT, Adventure Time, and Regular Show…

It's pretty great, actually, how diverse kids show can be, and part of the reason I watch them endlessly. There's an Indian character on Phineas and Ferb (and they do a lot with Jewish/Spanish cultural ideas), Hey Arnold had an Asian and black character, and Disney's live-action shows have a large, diverse cast.…

@avclub-4f18f486a356810b3ef8008243bcba7a:disqus I think then my response would be, "How would you define 'act accordingly'?"

I don't know… I can actually understand that feeling. It's not quite equivocation, it's more like trying to logically understand an emotion, which is, as we all know, is really hard to do. You see something that offends you at some gut, emotionally level, but your brain is telling you why it shouldn't.

I'm gonna be contrarian here. (MORE SPOILERS)

This is gonna come off racist, but there's something very, uh, "rich white girl" about those incentives.

I don't know if anyone archived it, but a LONG time ago a bunch of us just wrote random Dan Brown-esque chapters in the comments, and we almost got, like, half a book written. It was fantastic. Any chance someone has it?

There are probably studies out there about terrible ideas that for some reason generate and perpetuate themselves. Hell, look at any cancelled TV show that aired one or two episodes. Like, there was LEGITIMATELY a show called Heil Honey, I'm Home.

The Cleveland Show, in particular the first episode on the night, felt (and I'm not sure how else to say it) "black" to me. Like, some of the jokes and dialogue felt like someone actually did research on a middle-class African-American family for once.

@avclub-f5fc0943a2d597c869afec4103a54605:disqus HAH. Yep, you got me.

Hmm. I don't doubt the plot came from the book, but I thought some of the characters were a bit… different. Like, Owl was a lot more arrogant and self-serving than his older versions, and lines like "We're gonna die" from Eeyore was a bit… dark?

The scene between Rabbit, Owl, and Kanga on who should go into the pit and confront the Backson was the funniest goddamn thing in the world.

Winnie-the-Pooh was better than it had right to be, despite being more or less Winnie-the-Pooh fanfiction.

I might be reading this wrong,  but I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned this: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2i…

Hey, you know what? This is fine. Sounds like a decent TBS film to watch in about a year. Decent laughs, passable acting, competent (if unremarkable) filmmaking? It's nice to be able to say, "I want to see this black movie!" again. I don't remember the last time I've said that.

Well, clearly they need to cast a family with a precocious child in the middle.

Don't get me wrong - the show is (for lack of a better term) THAT kind of humor: grotesque, crude, rude, offensive, pop-culture-y, and filled with cutaways. So I guess you have to be in-tuned to that kind of comedy. Also, most people seem to just hate puppets.

DAMMIT. I wish I saw this thread earlier today. Because I have to rep my favorite, underrated, "can't believe everyone missed it" British BBC3 show Mongrels: http://www.hulu.com/mongrels
