An "F" is, I believe, reserved for films so amazingly bad that you will probably have to experience the terribleness. A "D" is basically "ugh, fuck this movie."

I deeply enjoyed Michael Moonwalker, because it was basically just doing a bad MJ impression at people.

Nice. My characters included "All Lad Insane" (exactly what you think), "Michael Moonwalker" (again, exactly what you think), and my favorite, "Afro-Chine" (blaxploitation cyborg)

The word "charming" was coined to describe Mio Mao.

What is interesting is when they actually DO kill off an MMO. IIRC, The Matrix Online basically ended with the phrase "WAKE UP" and a faux BSOD, while Tabula Rasa let everyone die bravely in The Last Stand - like, you got to fight this endless horde, but when you died, game over.

Real talk a friend of mine's wife left him for a dude she met playing this game.

Theme song is catchy as fuck, tho.

We had to stop watching Pocoyo, as it made my kid CRAZY HYPER.

I rarely if ever actually turn on cable TV for my kid. It's all streaming these days. Commercial free, biiiiitch!

Ugh, Fireman Sam.

My four year old straight up binge-watched it over winter break.

I feel quite fortunate that Lil' Underscore never got into them. He'd watch it if it was on, but never asked for it.

Daniel Tiger ruined my shit when I realized that he lives in Mr. Rogers' old house. That seriously fucked me up in front of my then-three year old.

Fuck YES Mio Mao.
