Funny, that's just what I was thinking: "Farewell Trial and Error, off to your inevitable fate as a great TV show that was butchered in the cradle, to rest for eternity in Netflix queues between Better Off Ted, and Freaks and Geeks."

On further viewing, you're right, I'm going to blame my last post on mild dyslexia and a lot of not-so-mild Trader Joe's scotch.

I dunno, I think whoever is playing New Tom is at least in the ballpark a lot of the time, especially as the season goes on, but this New Crow isn't even trying to be like the original.

As I said, I was 13, and had yet to develop the mental framework needed to sense the appropriate moment to give up on this stink-burger, and sneak into another theater.

The Harland Williams-starring Rocket Man was both the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater in a non-ironic context, and the first moviegoing experience where I consciously knew 90+ minutes of my life had been aggressively wasted on leaving the theater. When you can't sell fart jokes to a thirteen year old, you have…

Keep in mind, his whole horse family was with him, including what looked like a colt, so I'm not surprised he got a bit territorial.
I am surprised neither one thought to go after the dumbfuck in the pink shirt, but such are the mysterious ways of nature.

Sometimes the body needs a Quesorito, it's science!

I believe you mean Grammy award winner, and possible Faustian bargain-maker, Kenny goddamn Loggins.

Sadly the same cannot be said for Batman: Brave and the Bold, but that one is also pretty great to share with the wee ones, if you don't mind splashing out $25 a season.

8 or 9 seems about right. Basically, ask yourself "Is this kid old enough to handle Bambi?"

It also started as a one-off short, not a comic book, but I'm willing to overlook just about anything if it gets more people to watch this thing.

It's like, how are Sprickle Sprackles NOT a real candy?

Interesting, I missed that interview. Makes sense then, the core concepts are certainly similar enough. I still feel like GF expands on Eerie's premise in a lot of very Buffy-eque ways, but that could just as easily be due to the same indirect influence as Twin Peaks, on which subject, how the HELL had he not seen any…

It's in the mix, so is just about every other mystery-horror show from the late 1980s through the '90s, but Buffy is definitely one of the most prominent influences. In my mind it goes X-Files, Buffy, Twin Peaks, and The Rest.

Sorry, not a fan of the mopey swooney angsty ones and I hate musical episodes, so it's either that, or Smile Time.

The Girl In Question, both my favorite Spike episode, and favorite episode, period. It's just one giant, hilarious, gushy love-letter to the fandom before the big, gloomy finish.
Best Spike Line: "Every time he shows up, I either lose my girl, get beaten by an angry mob, or get thrown in prison for tax evasion."

I'm surprised to see Gravity Falls didn't make the cut, it's basically Buffy Junior. You've got your Scooby gang, you've got your arc-plots, you've got your (pre-)adolescent angst, you've got your semi-allegorical monsters, hell, even the theme song pays homage to Buffy in its way.

Plus, it's a great way to find new hook-ups for weed.
