One of my happiest memories of childhood was staying in the improbably-shaped pink condo building The Capri in Ocean City, Maryland. Capri was totally outdated and rundown and weird, in all the best ways, and its arcade had a Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo machine. My kid brother and I played a few rounds and somehow…

DARKNESS is the heart's TRUE ESSENCE!

I hope they change almost nothing and it's about weather aficionados being chased and endangered by a gigantic Jimmy Fallon.

Sounds like advice Mama Peanutbutter would give on BoJack.

The "bombing of the TV studio while the Swann House Band performs as the Beach Bums" scene in "Phantom of the Paradise" is very good, as is the baby carriage sequence in "Raising Cain."

The movies are a fantastic homage to the other "darkly comic reboot of a wholesome TV series," The Addams Family. But somehow Addams Family and Values have become beloved 90s camp icons, while the Brady movies are overlooked.

On the subject of misdirects, the first series was all heterosexual male oriented cheesecake… remember the sexy nurse? The show became iconic and Murphy began to pander to his more devoted followers, taking out the sexy women and relying more and more on homoerotic elements through the next three series. Last year…

But without that stylistic misstep there would be no Ballad of Lemmiwinks!

Hey Arnold had a weird magic-realism thing going on with it, though it seemed a little more grounded than it actually was simply based on tone.

And my favorite retro dance move!

I don't think the books hide the fact that the Wizarding World is pretentious, stupid and decadent. It's very cool, but that coolness is merely window dressing on the fact that things have culturally stagnated centuries ago and pointless, byzantine and almost Gormenghastly tradition has become the status quo.

I think Tim would have done a good job as Farley, but would not have done well as Brad (he passed on the role because he didn't trust himself in that half of the dual characters).

The Patakis would make Bojack Horseman look like Mr. Peanutbutter's House.

Similarly, why would anyone want to visit Narnia or Hogwarts? They're the definition of danger zones. Like taking a relaxing vacation in Palestine.

He had a dwarf sidekick exactly once. Gaggy Gaggsworth the Dwarf Dunce was so widely hated he didn't return again for nearly fifty years.

Greasepaint over the moustache (although simply a shoddy cover-up by the whatever-works Batman series) almost reads as an intentional homage to Groucho Marx painting on a false greasepaint moustache.

James Woods gave a pretty good performance as the Joker in "Hercules," really.

You say that now, but Danny Elfman has a long history of people thinking he can act and then rapidly reconsidering. There's a reason he only voices characters in song, and plays the mostly-silent Barrel in "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Cerveris has also toured with Pete Townshend as a backup guitarist during Townshend's recuperation from hand injury.

It's not a "listening" show. It's full of musical sequences and patterns that work with the visual motifs and circuitous staging. My frequent composer didn't love the score at all until she saw it live and "got it."
