Oh man, I forgot Moral Orel. I'd bump that to first on the list of shows I want to see reviewed - it's incredible. "Nature" may be my favorite half-hour of television ever produced. Seriously.

Yeah - they already did an "A Very Special Episode" about it, which is probably about the level of coverage the show needs; there's not much to analyze, other than simply rehashing variations of "This movie is terrible" and "This comment was hilarious".
It would probably be tough to write about Sealab - what exactly is there to say about the episode that just recreates an episode of the original Sealab, or the episode that consists of an external shot of Sealab during a blackout - but I'd still enjoy reading about it. That show was awesome.
Has any consideration ever been given to doing more classic Anime series? I know Cowboy Bebop is currently being written about, and I'm sure a lot of people around here would be interested in reading analysis of some of the classics. Some basic suggestions:
It's not widely available (though it really should be), but "Get A Life" would definitely be fun to read about. That show is light years ahead of its time; it would slot comfortably into the Adult Swim lineup. It still might be the most insane show ever to make it to network TV - how many network TV shows routinely…
Clearly, "Small Wonder" is the show to discuss. She's a child unlike other girls! She's a miracle!
I can't see the poll either; maybe it has something to do with me being at work and the proxy here blocks it somehow? Not sure.
My vote would be for Frisky Dingo. It's a great show - fast paced, hilarious, lots of callbacks and running jokes. You can definitely see where a lot of the comic style of Archer comes from; it has a lot more in common with Archer than Sealab.
I honestly don't think there's any need to have any more deluxe CD editions of the Beatles catalog - I don't want to hear them scrape the vaults to find bonus material that wasn't deemed good or important enough for the already ridiculously overstuffed Anthology releases.
I actually think "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is really good, but there are probably about 150 Rolling Stones songs I like better.
Yeah, in 10 seconds flat.
I love the moment where Toph blows the side out of the house out of nowhere.
I'd argue it's one of the strongest runs in all of TV, not just for this show. Season Two of Avatar just consistently brings it. It refines everything that made Season One so great, deepens the characters, and adds all kinds of new elements, all while maintaining the great writing, great animation, and great action…
Seriously, though… "Lake Laogai" is one of my all-time favorite episodes of the show. The whole back half of the second season, from the moment they arrive in Ba Sing Se on, is one of my favorite chunks of TV of all time.
I know! I should make my AV Club handle "The Tea Weevil"!
That's a crazy underrated record. "Hot Stuff" is a solid, solid dance track, "Memory Motel" is one of their best ballads, and "Hand Of Fate" is one of the more underrated "generic Stones rockers" of all time.
Oopy Doopy!
Each one holds 1.8 liters of fluid!
I love Tim and Eric. I'm glad they've got a bunch of stuff coming up - I've missed them since Season Cinco of their show finished.
Nice 'Circus Envy' reference.
