So there is an upside to this.

I'll never get the new obsession with making people scroll down endlessly. Was there a survey or something that I missed that revealed all people want from the Internet is giant pictures and scrolling down? Eh. I'll get used to it, I guess.

Now why is such a thoughtfully written comment getting downvotes?

Because he likes the show, and always has - his dryly written DYNs might give the wrong impression, but he was usually positive about the show in any era.

"Whatever, I tried."

I distinctly remember watching "Bart Gets An F" when I was really little. But otherwise I did not want to watch the show as a kid because it looked so disgusting to me (I used to be easily scared.) It was only when I was about 13 that I watched an episode and immediately fell in love with it. That episode was Dumbbell…

"Shelbyville Manhattan" is my favorite character name ever.

I'm pretty sure Don Del Grande is still active on Nohomers and (if it still exists) on the newsgroup too.

Sorry, from Fresh Prince. That was somehow the first non-white couple that came to my mind.

Yeah, that was sort of weird how book 5 introduces her with so much fanfare, then they share a moment together at the end of that one, and then she only goes on to play a minor role in the two last books.

Harry Potter was my first exposure to Internet shipping wars. That was a completely new world for me. I just liked the idea of Ron and Hermione together because the story was obviously going in that direction. And then I found out that not only were people rooting for Harry to be with Hermione, they actually thought…

Will and Lisa should have succeeded! I can't believe they just called off their wedding and then she vanished from the face of earth. And on top of that his mom and her dad got married and that was never mentioned again either.

He never needed one. In the pilot Frasier actually turns Daphne down because she is under the mistaken assumption that the position is live-in. She's still hired because she's the only applicant Martin liked.

I guess. My other problem is that Daphne was a boring character by that point. She started out as cheerfully kooky but became more and more normal (read: bland) over the years, so much that it was also kind of ridiculous that she didn't figure out Niles' extremely obvious crush on her until she was told. When she was…

It could have worked if they had developed their feelings for each other being mutual from early on. But they got so much mileage out of the "he's obsessed, she's oblivious" joke that by the time Daphne fell for Niles (season 7!) it was just too unbelievable.

I don't think it's icky. But they clearly don't really have anything in common.

I always thought Xander/Cordelia was waaay better.

The film clearly suffered from trying to be too faithful to its source material, they just included too much just for the sake of it. I would have just reduced the number of evil exes to five or so and either fleshed a character like Envy out or removed her entirely (her final moment with Scott is when he tells her…

Me too, hence my problem with this.

Yeah.. it's all funny and a little touching, but not as much as they obviously wanted it to be. The bit with Bart deciding to buy Lisa the jazz record always fell completely flat for me, since his subplot is completely removed from the main one up to that point. And I find that the episode's extreme jokeyness mostly…
