Comments

Marvel's Avengers Assemble "Exodus" - Yeah, they could've done that idea with Tony, but the execution was all wrong. He was too weak and passive.

Revolution "Declaration Of Independence" - Yeah, calm before the storm...you're right. A true finale of this series would have to have some crazy timeskip montage. I'd like to see where it all goes since the amusement park lit up looked cool, but I'm okay and won't lose sleep either. I really loved Bass here, I would've liked to see more of him and his son.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Pizza Face" - One of the games had a pizza monster to fight.

The Simpsons "The Yellow Badge Of Cowardge" - Didn't get any of the parodies and didn't like Grandpa either, but it was funny. Ending song was hilarious. Haha, the odds thing, I liked Kevin's logic on the Office. I'm wondering if Glenn Close has the same stipulation as Joe Montegna about Fat Tony.

Family Guy "Chap Stewie" - Had the same reaction, basically.

American Dad "The Longest Distance Relationship" - The ending angered me, somehow it was a copout, but I liked most of it. The whole montage of Jeff and Sinbad changing was great, the live action stuff was my favorite.

Louie "Elevator 3" - It's weird, I tell ya. Ever see Californication?

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey "The Immortals" - The Cosmic Calendar makes me feel small and insignificant, but in a hopefully and big way, somehow. I feel like we do live in a freer, safer, more intelligent, connected, and open society than our ancestors did, so that helps to ease some of the pain of not living in an even more awesome future. The thing about intelligence being an infinite resource is also seen in a ride at Epcot Center, oddly enough. If it makes you feel any better, "Who Wants To Marry Harry" has been pulled for repeats of Brooklyn Nine Nine. There is hope!

Avengers Assemble: THIS.

Revolution: It could have been MUCH worse. Alcatraz STILL ticks me off.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Do you remember which one?

The Simpsons: That Kevin observation was the smartest thing he ever said. I doubt Glenn Close has that same stipulation. But I'll pretend that she does anyways.

Family Guy: Family Guy has been terrible lately so even an average episode is okay in my book. That's messed up.

American Dad: I was angered by the ending too. And yes, the montage was spectacular.

Louie: Tell me she's nude in that. I'd watch it.

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey: I was relieved when I heard that about Marry Harry. A few years ago that show would have been a hit.

[90scartoonman]

Revolution: What happened with Alcatraz anyway?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: It was the TMNT II: Back From the Sewers game for Game Boy.

The Simpsons: I'll pretend that too.

Family Guy: How much longer do you figure the show has?

Louie: Not that I know of, although it wouldn't surprise me if she was. I've seen bits and pieces of the show here and there, and she really is quite good looking.

[mattzimmer]

Revolution: The Main character was shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Now, obviously they would have probably bought it back in a second season but it REALLY grated.

TMNT: Wow.

Family Guy: It will run another decade at least and probably as long as The Simpsons. Seth totally sold out.

Louie: If she is, it goes on my DVD wish list.

[90scartoonman]

Revolution: Yikes.

Family Guy: I hate to say it, but Family Guy is really holding Seth back. He's obviously talented and there's so much he probably wants to do, the show should end so he can be free to explore those possibilities fully. He's already rich and famous, he doesn't need to worry about not having income from new FG episodes.

[mattzimmer]

Revolution: It sucked. I'm still sore about it.

Family Guy: This goes for American Dad too.

[90scartoonman]

Family Guy: Agreed. Because Family Guy and the Simpsons have been on for so long, it's easy to forget American Dad has been on for a decade.

[mattzimmer]

Fox cartoons always seem to last too long. Or not long enough. We've never gotten a decent series finale for any of them.

[90scartoonman]

Not since King of the Hill probably, right? And even that show was bordering on "Been on too long". Maybe we need to start a campaign to bring back Allan Gregory for a movie that wraps everything up.

[mattzimmer]

King Of The Hill's finale wasn't actually a series finale. Having a montage and touching music at the end does not a series finale make.

Allen Gregory was not just the worst cartoon Fox has ever made, it might have been the worst scripted series Fox has ever made.

[90scartoonman]

It's probably as much of a finale as Judge and Co. wanted to do. In fact, if I recall, the previous season finale with Luann's wedding was planned as a series finale.

Allen Gregory was the worst cartoon series I've ever seen. I like Jonah Hill, and it was a complete waste of his time. I couldn't even sit through an episode, it was painful. It's like for me what Johnny Test is for you.

[mattzimmer]

Allen Gregory was worse than Johnny Test. By far. Johnny Test was never actively harmful to the gay community.

[90scartoonman]

I agree. I remember you saying you couldn't get through Johnny Test because it was physically painful. I can't say Allen Gregory caused me pain, but I just couldn't finish an episode.

[mattzimmer]

I saw two episodes of Allen Gregory. That was two too many. One of the worst cartoons I've ever seen. Even the first season of Family Guy was better.

[90scartoonman]

I'm willing to go as far as saying Allen Gregory is the worst cartoon of its era, if not of all time.

[mattzimmer]

The short-lived USA Network version of Problem Child was worse. But that's the only one I can think of.
