Fantastic News! Cartoon Network is playing classic episodes of Looney Tunes again!
YES! (<–This smile can’t show my true over the moon happiness!)
Sure, it’s at a 2 in the morning time slot, but still! It’s a step in the right direction.

“The Prisoner of Benda” Futurama - 9/10
One of the funniest episodes I’ve seen. I was laughing throughout and even my brother who is as reserved as Chuckles the clown, guffawed a few times.
The body-swapping premise has been done to death in movies and TV shows, but Futurama really exploited the premise as much as they could with all its characters’ personalities and possible permutations.
Highlights include Fry and Leela’s outrageous kiss in the bodies of Professor and Zoidberg, ‘Fat Leela’, Bender doing a sexy pose as Amy with his voice intact, and the Professor as Bender living his dream of being a daredevil.
But the most memorable scene is Scruffy and the Wash Bucket’s forbidden love, which had a surprising amount of pathos and heartbreak to it than expected.
, I used to watch a lot of them but now I rarely watch TV, but if I do I see:

Looney Tunes are amazing, and for including them on your list, you’re amazing.
By why do you like Planes? It hasn’t been released yet!
THANKS, I love looney toones
about Planes, I am just anticipating that I am gonna watch it, when it comes out in 2013, for sure
I just finished watching the pilot of The Walking Dead, and it’s one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. I actually think it tops the source material in many ways, including the emotional impact of it (the scene with the cuts between Rick and Morgan is strangely powerful). My only complaint is that Carl and Shane’s actors seem a little off, but I’ve only seen the first episode so far so I can’t decide for sure yet.
Even if you haven’t read the comics, I definitely recommend watching it.
I watched my first episode of Harry’s Law yesterday. It’s the one with the wrongfully-imprisoned big black dude with the “attractive stare”, as Harry subtly puts it. I really love how Harry is a like a female-version of House for defense attorneys, she really has terrible manners and is not afraid to say what she thinks!
Also love Thomas “Tommy” Jefferson and the way how he insults Harry’s protege, Adam. “Admit, you’re a teeny weeny little BUG.”
Watch this video. I love how this guy puts you in a corner without a single swear word.
I am so happy that NBC is no longer the ratings powerhouse it use to be because, Community has been renewed for a third season!!! If this was 7 or 8 years ago, Community probably wouldn’t have made it a full season on NBC. I just hope the make Chang a little less weird and crazy next season. He’s started to annoy me a bit this season.
NBC happens to be my favourite American commercial channel. They strike a middle-ground between the family-friendly ABC and the matured grown-ups shows of CBS. Some of my favourite dramas like Trauma (an excellent medical show featuring paramedics), Life (how I got introduced to Damien Lewis), Chase (not exactly thought-provoking stuff, but it’s my guilty pleasure), My Name is Earl (starring a certain Pixar voice actor) and my newly-discovered gem, Harry’s Law.
CBS ain’t bad too, they’ve got NCIS, the CSIs, Blue Bloods, and my favourite remake, Hawaii-Five-0.
ABC’s got Castle, but that’s about the only show I can think of. I’ve heard rave reviews from TSS of ‘No Ordinary Family’, a superhero-family drama that has similarities to The Incredibles, that I’m pretty eager to check out.
I’ve watched a fanvid by the extremely talented freelancerxo02 of ‘Flashpoint’. It’s one of my favourite cop shows of all-time; it might seem violent from the outset, but it is really a strong advocate of crisis negotiation and non-lethal law enforcement. Not surprisingly, it’s made in Canada. But it’s so emotional and surprisingly heartwarming for a cop show, precisely because the characters don’t go in guns blazing to kill the ‘bad guys’- more often than not, the antagonists actually have an emphatic reason for the crimes they do. Rather, the heroes use their ears, their minds, and their hearts to save lives. And in the TV-cop world of ‘shoot first, ask questions later’, this is a refreshing take on a rather tired genre.
I just into this new show called Breakout Kings, a show about cops and convicts working together to put escaped fugitives back into prison.
Wow, this is like ‘Chase’ meets ‘White Collar’! And did I just see Tea Bag? Folks might recognise him from Prison Break (which is also produced by the same people who did Breakout Kings), but he also starred in an episode of Chase.
Thanks for the tip, TSS!
You should probably hold off on catching up with No Ordinary Family, TDIT. The show is as good as cancelled. They ported it off the ABC Family and the leads, Chiklis and Benz, are already scheduled to shoot pilots for other shows.
I watched a bunch of Archer recently. The show is absolutely hilarious. The dialogue is superb and the characterization is almost unparalleled anywhere else in the medium.
And now for some fantastic news. My vote for possibly my favorite animated series ever, The Venture Bros, is getting two more seasons, a long form special and a teaser special to be released this summer. It’s a very happy day. A very happy day indeed.
Ah, I also love Mater’s Tall Tales.
Courage The Cowardly Dog and Ed edd Eddy
TDIT: You’re welcome dude. Yeah, you saw T-Bag. He’s in the third episode though. And I like your comparison to chase and White Collar, but I like to see it as a Darker version of Leverage, pluse criminal minds, with a hint of White Collar.
aerostarmonk: Aw, the series is getting canceled? That’s a bummer. I actually enjoyed that show. Oh well, I guess we’ll see what happens in the final few episodes.
LotsoFan: Dude, Ed, Edd n Eddy is, I consider, to be the greatest cartoon that I have ever watched, and maybe the best of my generation.
LotsoFan: Courage is awesome! My favourite ep is ‘Granny Cooking Pie’ with the Cajun Fox!
aerostarmonk: I watched the first season of Archer last year, and it was an excellent (if somewhat vulgar and risque) spoof of the spy genre! Some great real-world politics thrown in too, though mostly played for laughs. I believe a second season should be coming (or has already aired). Shame about No Ordinary Family, though. Why do they cancel all the good shows? I believe Chase got cancelled prematurely on NBC as well.
TSS: Really lookin forward to it! I also plan to watch ‘The Good Guys’, it’s like a spoof of the cop genre with a Starsky-&-Hutch like duo.
Sorry for the double post. Not sure if a day has passed. Mods, feel free to combine post (Oh yeah, I’m a Mod!).
Anyway, as you all know, this month is Mexico Month. At least, in my poor deluded mind. And I watched a great episode of a spin-off from Aussie Curtis Stone’s Take Home Chef, except it’s another guy called Rodrigo Cascon and the name of the show is Take Home Chef South America. In the episode I saw a few hours ago, he went to Mexico City to help a housewife who has never used her oven to whip up some delicious meals. A prawn salad served in pineaple rings, a fish (a French name or something, that species) dish with salsa, and a chocolate volcano cake for desset. Yummy. And then he ends the episode by bouncing on the kids’ trampoline. Too bad this was a season finale.
Then I watched a Getaway special on Disneyland. Getaway is a travel TV show in Australia that is sponsored by travel agencies and airlines, but it’s a pretty good free-to-air show. They featured the usual suspects like the Teacup ride, Space Mountain, Mainstreet USA, but there were some new rides like the Buzz Lightyear, Finding Nemo, and World of Colour lightshow that weren’t there the last time I went. And there were Buzz and Jessie actors (not the ‘human’ ones, they’re the plastic-faced ones) and a Princess and the Frog-themed parade!
The funniest quote from the episode is this: “Surprisingly, the Pirates of the Carribean ride existed before the movie.”
DUH!
I am also watching Batman The Animated Series from the beggining
Well, the series no Ordinary Family is gonna warp up its season finale this tuesday. I’m really excited for it. This series has been one of my favorites this year. Lets end it with a bang.
While we’re on the topic of superhero TV shows, I’m really excited to watch ‘The Cape’. It’s a bit like Catwoman meets Daredevil. David Lyons play Vince Faraday, a private detective who is framed for the murder of the police chief and is thought to be killed in a gas explosion. When he is recruited by a mysterious band of circus people to gain revenge, he dons a bulletproof cape and fights crime and injustice in his city while uncovering the truth behind his set-up.
I really love how the protagonist assumes the identity of his child’s comic-book hero, but he can’t reveal his identity because everyone presumes his dead. And the trailer is really awesome because of the killer lines (“Say hello to Dorothy, b***h!”) and the use of ‘Dogs of War’ by Brand X at the end.
If the music sounds familiar, that’s because it’s been used before in the Karate Kid trailer, the Chase TV spot, and even my Legend of the Guardians fan trailer and TV spot!
I reckon Edna Mode would be livid!
