Yeah, I always held the belief that Timon & Pumbaa was a far more popular Ren & Stimpy-esq show for Disney, and even that is mostly because they were very popular characters to begin with. But people do remember that show.

[Peanutbutter]

I don't remember these supposed toys circa 1995.  Every kid, really?  I remember Power Rangers toys, I remember Rugrats toys, I remember Toy Story toys, but I don't remember Schnookums and Meat toys.

Thought you were referring to the Disney Afternoon as a whole.

[Dr. Insomniac]

I rank a Disney Animation show's popularity on how much Rule 34 it has. Timon & Pumbaa porn is a thriving market.

[Avaitor]

So that makes Rescue Rangers the most popular, right?

[Dr. Insomniac]

Depends if it outweighs the amount of GoofyXMax yaoi I can find.

[Avaitor]

Well, not so much Rule 34, but where there are obsessives...

[Peanutbutter]

Can we please not go off topic into Rule 34 garbage?   



At any rate, I have to say this one was an instant classic. All of the skits were hilarious, and a lot of the jokes and gags were good too. Doug was really on fire in this one.

[Avaitor]

it was a good review. I don't agree with everything Doug had to say (mainly that Max was bland and that Bonkers was a bad show. Also, I like Timon & Pumbaa less than he does. Oh, and Rescue Rangers was not the last good Disney Afternoon-related game. Darkwing and Goof Trip, hello!), but most of the jokes worked, and he got some good info in here as well.

Also



He really meant the Irritate Gamer, right? I can't be the only one who thought this.

[LumRanmaYasha]

That was a fun one. I found myself agreeing with most of his assertions, though I have more mixed feelings on Rescue Rangers than he does, myself.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, it's no secret that of the earlier TDA shows, I find Rescue Rangers the hardest one to watch. Although the episode Doug highlighted is easily the best IMO.

[No-Personality]

Saw Doug's review, somewhat reluctantly given how absurdly 2-3 pages the discussion here has been, and I actually remember that Cola Cult episode of Rescue Rangers. Of course, I don't remember it very well since I haven't seen it in over 20 years (and aren't some of you not even that old yet?), but holy shit was that a bit of a "I REMEMBER THAT!" moment. He of course lost me around the time of Bonkers. I literally had no idea that show existed until Doug mentioned it years ago. Or was that MarzGurl? Someone on TGwtG talked about it. Never seen an episode of Gargoyles. By that time, I think I had fully switched over to Fox! Kids and was watching... whatever else they showed before Power Rangers. (For better or worse.) So, this whole thing was only nostalgic for the first 25 or so minutes. Whenever he stopped talking about Goof Troop.

Anyway, some real heavy-hitters to talk about.

Maven of the Eventide is back. With a blast!:
http://blip.tv/mavenoftheeventide/vampire-reviews-monster-mash-6789456

She's had some darn good episodes but this might really in fact be her best. See it now, I'm telling you. It doesn't focus on the song but rather on the actual "mashing" of groups of classic monsters for plots in films like... well, she brings up several. I don't want to "spoil" which. Her research is fantastic and the coverage is very wide. (Though I mentioned on her Facebook page that she might have forgotten The Halloween That Almost Wasn't.)


Diamanda Hagan / Cinema Snob's Myra Breckenridge crossover is up now. It's definitely the best of both worlds (though the movie seems far more disturbing than I'd even heard it was- and, yes, it still stars Raquel Welch, John Huston, and Farrah Fawcett):

Nostalgia Chick's 6th or 7th (or maybe 8th at this point) video about disaster movies. You beat that dead horse, Lindsay:

It's actually pretty okay. She also did a vlog'gy kinda thing about those darn Y.A. adaptations. Another:

Ho boy.

This issue is a doozy. I'm curious to see how Linkara tackles it.

[Peanutbutter]

Haven't watched Linkara in a while (I love his show, I just fell behind episodes and haven't caught back up to him yet), but YOWZA was that comic grotesque. His review of it was all right, but I couldn't laugh at any of his jokes other than the Scrubs clips because this comic sounded too horrible. This is partly why I still want to get back into his show; so that when I get around to starting my own comic collection I'll know exactly which ones to avoid.

[Avaitor]

Avengers Annual #10 is my favorite comic issue basically because it's an apology for this whole ordeal.

[LumRanmaYasha]

This week, Doug takes a look at what may be the worst animated movie OF ALL TIME! I'm talking, of course, about Foodfight.
