Also not to be confused with Mad Monster Party.

I feel like it wouldn't be if RDJ didn't show up at the end. That series is weird though because Bana, Norton, and Ruffalo are all playing very different characters, but they're all loosely connected. As you may or may not recall, the 2003 movie ends with Banner taking off for South America, and the recapped origin in…

I was excited to see that S2 of Mystery Inc. is on Netflix now. I really enjoyed the first season. Like you say, it's still Scooby-Doo, but it's a version that's actually as good as the version in my head when I was a kid.

This weekend, I watched the latest movies from three of my favorite directors who started in the 90s.

That's "Touched by an Angel"? I have that at my school library - and a bunch of kids have told me they enjoyed it - but I haven't read it. Maybe I'll try to do that this summer.

Yeah, that's probably true. It's the only one I've listened to in a few years.

Also (surprisingly) great - William Shatner's cover with Joe Jackson. The only Shatner song I unironically love.

They did literally this exact same thing with Leave It to Beaver in the 80s, and it ran for four seasons, which are remembered by few and loved by no one. So at least there's precedent!

Oh man, "Cory started acting like an old man on the verge of death" is perfect.

Yes. I agree with all of that. Like I said in that other comment, the themes will always be relevant.

Ahhhhhhhh.

Hilary Duff has baggage? Didn't she grow up to just basically be a normal person?

It definitely was at some point. They had a sponsored post with no comment section.

Right. I definitely don't mean irrelevant in that particular. I don't think the themes it tackles are going away any time soon.

Dated in the sense that season one, for example, is clearly set shortly after 9/11. It's full of talk about the FBI focusing on terrorism and so on. When I say "dated," I mean "easily identifiable as being from an earlier time." That's all.

Nope, three. The first was a half-season (January-May of 1966), and then the following two years.

Mistopher Guest.

I used to be much more of a TV fan than I am now. I've seen some of the "important shows" from the last few years - The Wire and Friday Night Lights and most of the sitcoms - but lately I'd just rather watch movies.

1990? Sure. But in 1985, they had Fraggle Rock, which is genuinely one of my favorite TV shows of all time. It would have been so easy for that series to follow the Smurfs blueprint and make all of the characters one-dimensional. That's what the later animated series on NBC did. If it had been some simple, brightly…

Everything becomes dated. Everything.
