Eh.

I'll reserve judgement until I actually see the clip myself.

Huh.

I think it's time one of us writes an article on pandering on the blog. I might as well take it, unless there are any other volunteers.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I don't see it as pandering regardless. It's not like other kids cartoons never showed political figures before (I remember a few appearing in one or two episodes of "Pinkie and the Brain")

Yeah, use of political figures isn't pandering. Heck, Animaniacs even had "Bill Clinton plays the sax" in the theme song.

It depends on the plot, really.

What, Romney?... That would be kinda dumb. The show is about the supernatural and for kids. Keep politics out of it, please.

Because the president was the mayor who was frozen in time, remember?

Geez, keep up.  :P

Don't say the phrase "big bad", or you may give Whedon ideas for season 9 of Buffy.

Nah, we already had Mayor Wilkins. Why do it again?

The crazy thing is, he's probably my favorite big bad, too.

I've been catching up with this show, and it really is a hoot.

The bad news: the newest upcoming Gravity Falls is all about Dipper hating Robbie.
The good news: the episode is about Dipper unleashing a character from a Street Fighter parody game (Fight Fighters) to beat Robbie up for him and the episode is full of retro gaming references.

Sadly, I don't think Robbie (or Pacifica) are going away anytime soon. A lot of the plots thus far have largely centered around their respective rivalries with the main cast, and for some reason I don't see that changing.

...while it's not ideal (Pacifica moreso for me; she is just an awful, awful character), as long as the rest of it holds up, I'm still good.
