Definitely one of those shows where the theme song was much better than the show.

Since when does "old Apple graphics" not equal "Susan Kare's artwork"?

I'm guessing people who live in Waco will call the series "Axtell"…

The bouncing, demon-possessed baby Rowlf from "I'm Gonna Always Love You" simultaneously terrified and fascinated me the first dozen times I saw that sequence in Take Manhattan. Far more frightening than this artwork. Great puppetry too.

I believe "no reboots" was part of the Code Of the West.

I can understand that point. With "Doug Funnie Is Crazy", however, it was not the theory that was so appealing so much as how it was presented. Plus, upon re-watching the show, Doug is pretty much anxious to the point of disorder about practically every aspect of his life…

There are several such takes out there on the internet, some of which even have quotes from folks who worked on the show.

Jerry Manders was a fictional politician who would show up from time-to-time in the Tom Batiuk/Tom Armstrong comic strip John Darling.

Shaun the Sheep seems like it would be the most difficult of Aardman's properties to use as the foundation for a universe-spanning movie. If there is no dialogue, what do the non-Shaun characters (other than Gromit) do? If there is dialogue, is it really a Shaun the Sheep movie?
Aardman hasn't really let me down

My TV provider lists the show as "Shaun of the Sheep" in its on-demand menu.

Lesbian Nazi hookers, abducted by UFOs and forced into weight-loss programs… all this week on Town Talk!

He should have gotten the solo at the beginning of "Come On And Put Some Extra Relish On My Hot Dog" instead of Rick Moranis' T.

He was the neatest of the 5 Neat Guys.

There was an especially egregious error on the cover of "Killing Reagan".

"Stalin is best remembered as a ruthless dictator who built the Soviet Union into a world power through terror and purges. He was responsible for ordering the deaths of millions. In history, Stalin was a despot, a murderer, a Communist dictator… but on the WB, he's the star of his own sitcom! My Buddy Stalin!"

Where he gets benched in favor of a guy who had never played defensive back before…

I see that sitting around for decades with a droid commander programmed well-enough to keep them from being deactivated has not improved the intelligence of the classic battle droid at all.

What I did like about this episode was that it highlighted what is, intentionally or unintentionally, Ezra's greatest weakness. He is a terrible soldier and a poor tactician who is constantly bailed out of trouble by on his natural talent in using the force or the remarkable abilities of his teammates. This weakness

Cody has slain his thousands, and Rex his tens of thousands.

And the good-natured dig at Jackson Browne.
