Back in the mid-aughts, yeah. But now adays teens live for darker and edgier versions of their nostalgia cartoons, to the point that they invest hours into producing that content themselves.

Yeah for sure. I've forgotten about end-of-deal price hikes and accidentally paid double for three months before noticing (and they make it SO easy to add services but SO difficult to reduce or cancel). And as I add more digital streaming services I have looked into whether it's actually saving me any money. But the…

Oh heck you know what, I recall this information now that you've described it. Again, I was 11/12 when all of this was happening, so perhaps some childhood bitterness has clouded my memory on it, haha.

I think that they were trying to pitch The Patakis to MTV back in the day, since they were both under Viacom.

The episode where Helga goes to therapy is iconic. And you're right that Phoebe's episodes were also always really strong. The realism was always solidly executed, and it's something that's missing from the cartoon selection on TV now where everything's super heroes or talking animals or both.

So I pay for internet (~$60) plus Hulu ($8) plus Netflix ($9) plus HBO Now ($16)… comes out to almost 100/month and covers pretty much anything I want to watch (except for AMC which I use my aunt's cable log in to watch).

Wait, is it Hulu + HBO Now for 14.99/month, or adding HBO Now for an additional 14.99/mo? Because I currently pay for both services and if I can save a third of the cost then this is nothing but a win for me, but it seems like you can add the HBO Now for basically what HBO Now already costs on it sown.

I was a mod on a Danny Phantom message board in the mid-aughts and we kind of made ourselves a 'safe harbor' for slash fanwork in opposition to the self-knighted disciples of Hartman trying to flag and remove any such work from, like, the whole internet.

Hey look both Nick cartoons I extensively produced fanfiction of from back in the day in one post.

Yeah this movie was supposed to be made 15 years ago, for theatrical release, but they made that one movie where the corporate guy tries to buy up and tear down their neighborhood as a test run and since it tanked, they scraped The Jungle Movie project entirely. So that episode the video references was always supposed…

I can't not be hyped for this. I wrote H!A fanfiction from ages 11-13 and participated in Nick.Com chats with Craig Bartlett where he talked about this movie in like 2003. I acknowledge that the degree to which I am excited about this is absurd but I don't caaaaaare.

I figure we won't really know what the ultimate storytelling reason might be until more episodes have been seen.

Where DO angels go when they die? That's the question.

A lot of actors in screen adaptations of print works avoid reading the original material because they don't want to confuse it with the written scripts they're working with. So it might be a combination of script writing, direction, and performance making things… off.

There's definitely not 70 million of them per year in America, though, unless half of the US population is infants.

My Favorite Murder JUST covered this story this last week, including the more recent developments.

Also, the fact that Steve is on her mind here isn't solely related to her romantic feelings for him. Aries is trying to convince her than mankind is selfish by nature and easily swayed into evil out of self-interest. Steve's death motivates her because of how he died — as a means of self-sacrifice, a truly noble act…

WOT in itself is about people's opinions, because it features a suggestion based on a recommendation about what the writer thinks is good.

… All commentary requires information. Maybe I want commentary. Maybe I don't pretend that human thought can be 100% objective.

I don't know, I don't work at Netflix, but you're making an assumption all the same.
