Haha! Excellent points. I'm sure at one point or another every person who is aware of racism has asked themselves are they racist, and the only true answer is you might be.

I guess I should have defined the figurative from the literal. Anyways I'm not trying to prove anything by the suggestion of my personal preference, I'm trying to see if others have thoughts on the subject: have you noticed a lack of racial diversity in the things you look for guidance? If so why?

That's exactly my point though. You choose your media because you like it for some reason. When observing that choice with an outsiders eye you present something about yourself through what you consume.

Do you have nothing or nobody in your life that you wouldn't consider a personal hero?

That's a very good question. It's more of a question of figuring out who I am through the devices that I associate myself. Why do I like The Simpsons, and not Bob's Burgers? Why do I like Neil Young and not Bob Dylan ? I believe that people define themselves through what types of media they hold close to themselves.

Exploration, affinity, interest in work and the man

To get perspective on things that I think. I ask others if they have thoughts on the issue. I was thinking of people I look up to and realized it's very white dominated.

Human society is built on others shoulders. I don't "need" a hero, but there are people out there who inspire be to push myself, emulate what they have done to see if I can find build upon it.

I like to think I'm pretty accepting of racial diversity; I know I have some hang up, some preconceived notions on how races should act. I try and work through these issues but whenever I bring up a conversation like "Why don't I have black heroes?" it sounds incredible offensive.

Cool, thanks. I'll check them out.

Thanks. Watching shows in order has been ingrained through years of serialized TV. I'm worried about missing developments that happen in earlier episodes. I'm watching TNG for the first time and I am really glad I've suffered through the first two seasons to get to the good stuff.

I love long thought out responses. So no, you didn't write to much.

I've just started rewatching the new doctor who again (if someone can suggest a way to explore the older episodes please help, tried at the beginning and could get past two episodes). I'm not a fan of the first season, I'm almost done and so far there are only 3 great episodes (IMO "the end of the world", "empty…

Not sure, I don't have cable, or kids for that matter, however I do have young nieces and nephews. On one had I'm some watch the old episodes because their parents are fans, and on the other they don't watch it frequently because his mothers isn't a fan. It's up to us older people to inform them of these things.

Heh radical!

One of the most important reasons why this episode is so great is because it stays true to Bart being a ten year old. Bart, and by extension to the characters showcased in this episode, acts older than the average fourth grade even though Bart and Nelson are the dumbest kids in their class.

Yes, even the character who doesn't seem to change has grown.

The Eggsellent hat has shown up a number of times, what really surprised me is how attached Rigby is to it still. He even tells Cash Bankis that he almost died for it!

Regular show is the master a montages. THREE in one episode, and I didn't even notice it till writing this.

I think you're right about it being Phil LaMarr; the voice sounds awful familiar, and I think it's from Futurama.
