Week 2 is up!

Is anyone watching along with me?

No, but you make me want to.

Well then, I'm doing my job.

[Avaitor]

It's up!

I know it's late, but hey, remember when CCF used to run until midnight? Brings me back to when I'd stay up to catch I Am Weasel.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Nice, that was a great line up. I think I remembered every single episode there as you described them.

[Dr. Insomniac]

I like it. A little too brief on the criticism though.

Yeah, I rushed this one due to a busy schedule and my own diversions. I'll try to beef up my criticism next week, though.

Awesome write up, as usual.

Did the "sequel" episode to Dexter's Rival not air along with it originally? I know that in later airings, the two shorts were packaged together, and it's like that on the On-demand version as well.

Wait, didn't Shaggy and Scooby routinely eat sandwiches with meat on them?

Anyway, another great article man. Some real gems this week.

Also, DaemonCorps posted his final thoughts on SAO yesterday. http://animationrevelation.com/readables/?p=669

"Mandarker"? Yes, "Dexter's Rival" does air along with that short, but I think that's more because of the fact that there might be a missing short that was supposed to air in its place. "Dexter's Rude Removal", perhaps?

And don't worry, I won't review it again when I get there. Nor will I tackle "Dexter's Lab: A Story" when I get to that point next week, even if I can't find "Barbequor".

Yeah, I always thought they did too, but I guess those could be beets or something. That, or Kasem never paid too much attention to the cartoon, and just reads his scripts and leaves it at that.

I never understood that complaint. Shaggy and Scooby ate EVERYTHING, it was a huge character trait. To make them selective and health conscience of their food habits makes no sense character-wise.

Not to say there's anything wrong with Vegetarianism, but just because Casey happens to be one doesn't mean his character is one as well.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Maybe Carbombya really hit Kasem hard on what his roles should be like.

Wow, I can't believe this is a real thing.

Then again, Kiss Players.

As someone that enjoys Scooby Doo mostly as a guilty pleasure now, I still never understood Casey not wanting Shaggy to eat meat. I get he's a vegetarian and all, but it's not like that Casey Kasem had to eat meat while in the booth. Hell, I remember hearing that Mel Blanc was allergic to carrots, so whenever he had to eat one for Bugs Bunny whenever he said "What's Up Doc?", he spat that out ASAP after recording that line.

All in all, great list. Pretty much some of the best episodes here. Really liked the choices for Dexter and Johnny Bravo the most. Especially the episode that felt like it was School House Rock.

That's only a rumor. Blanc just didn't like carrots, so he would spit them out.

Oh, he didn't like them. That makes much more sense.

Hey, I found the screenshot I was looking for!
