The "be yourself" and "famous overnight" stuff is there to bring in today's 12-year-olds. The "Jem and the Holograms" name is there to bring in nostalgic 30-year-olds.

They haven't really mentioned the lawyers in a few episodes either. It's either lazy writing or they're deliberately supposed to have tunnel vision where they only focus on the one problem at a time.

Have they spoken to Big Head recently? Or even mentioned him in passing at all this season? I get that you mean they should have heard something from Hooli's promotion campaign, but it seems like everyone on Pied Piper seems to have forgotten Big Head every existed.

I don't know if my TV's speakers can handle that much bass.

Actually it would probably rake in the cash, but only once it made it to the national tour. I don't see it hitting in New York or LA, but the midwest will eat that shit up. The only problem is the music. The Archies' catalog isn't very deep beyond "Sugar, Sugar."

Was it just me or did the bit that Glaser stole from Louie deliberately bad? I thought the joke was going to be how shitty the other comic was.

I wonder what someone who has never seen the show would think of current-era Simpsons. Is it really as bad as I think, or do I just think that because I can't help but compare it to the golden era? Unfortunately any adult who has never seen The Simpsons is not someone whose opinion I'd ever trust.

I thought Obama's set was better. But then again this was his seventh WHCD, so I guess he has more experience in playing to that crowd.

Missed out on a giant case of blue-balls. I still need to know what happened after that cliffhanger.

There was also the Queen Latifah-starring spin-off "Beauty Shop." I don't know if that's technically canon, though,

Whatever. They're all hoopleheads to me.

Your avatar is Gene, but that comment was Tina all the way.

Toss in Eliza Coupe and you've got a deal.

I know. They kept the worst elements (all that sermonizing) but took out all the badass parts like the God character destroying entire cities, the steamy affairs and incest, and the donkey-jawbone-enabled rampages.

But "Fly Like an Eagle" was not, contrary to what 8-year-old me believed.

"Give Me Green Card" is so bad it made me completely change my stance on immigration.

They're over-thinking the hell out of this. Just give us The Muppet Show back. A human guest host, a few sketches, Dr. Teeth and the Mayhem do a musical number or two and we're done. I don't need a talking head scene where Gonzo explains what exactly he does with those chickens.

"Tell her her rump's as big as the Queen's. And twice as fragrant!"

Ice cream, burritos and beer. All Ben & Jerry's needs to do is sell crippling loneliness and porn and they have my whole weekend pretty much covered.

Yeah, unlike these slutty modern ducks who run around topless.
