Episode #100... · 4:56am Jul 17th, 2015
I'm a little behind...so to catch up...
Episode #100, Slice of Life...was AMAZING!
For all you young-uns out there, Saturday Morning cartoons once was a staple in America; you had a schedule, usually in crayon, of the shows you wanted to watch, and what time it came on one of the Big Three networks it was on. You parked in front of that big glass eye, and watched Hannah-Barbera, Looney Tunes, and all sorts of things while wearing footy pajamas with dorkey prints on them, plowing through a box of your favorite oversugared cereal and a large coffee cup of milk as you did so. No bowls; you spilled those. You ate the cereal from the box and washed it down with a gulp of milk when it got too dry.
That was Saturday Morning. No self respecting kid put one toe outside the front door to play until the list was finished for that day. You never saw one kid outside in the morning unless they were bad, and had chores substituted for those magical hours.
I feel for you folks that didn't grow up on the unfiltered violence of Wile E. Coyote attempting to kill himself while chasing that stupid Road Runner...an incredibly violent little predator, if you lived around the things and watched them hunt. Not one thing about the real bird was cute. I actually rooted for Wile E. to catch that idiot bird on occasion.
Sadly, I grew up, and so did Saturday Mornings. Eventually, they went away, as the E+I SJW's and Presidential Fitness and Surgeon Generals made weekends another day Mom and Pop dragged you to all sorts of things that were good for kids, but weren't ever quite as fun. You didn't have anything else to do, anyway...
I waited for Ep #100 like I was in the start blocks on the track, waiting for the gun. All of you know how much I adore Giant Pandas. Here was an ENTIRE EPISODE stuffed with them, and it was coming to me...
A half hour later...and I was eight again, watching The Jetsons, in cowboy print PJ's, and George was walking Astro on the moving sidewalk...
Derpy talked. Tabby, you have a big pair of brass ones. After all that happened the last time, no one could fault you if you walked away.
Not you. You, the consumate professional, stepped up to the mike, and cleared the bases with a Grand Slam. You hit her PERFECTLY. Every time I write her dialog from now on, I hear you. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for giving her back to us.
Doc Whooves...yeah, it wasn't Tenant. And the plane Derpy was in should have been Gromit's from A Close Shave. But you had me the minute he started down the lane on tippyhooves, like Fred Flintstone did when he bowled.
And it just kept coming, and coming, and coming. LyBon. Loved the Secret Agent bit, too. Watch for one of those from me.
Vinyl and Tavi. The divided house was a riot. "Odd Couple" confirmed! Everypony on the Wubmobile! Button rotating on the turntable...
Total Warner Bros. insanity! INSANITY, I tell you!!
I loved EVERY MINUTE of it...and wished they made footy pajamas in my fifty-five year old size...
The things Larson said didn't make it in...need to be added to an episode at a time. Or just save them for #200...
