I look forward to it!

Fuck, how is Adventure Time so good? I don't even understand it. Did you guys see the season 4 premiere? So friggin good.

Wow, another spectacular Community. This is one of those episodes that reminds me why it's such a great TV show. In fact, this episode might have pushed Community above 30 Rock as my favorite NBC comedy. I really hope they get an Emmy nomination this year, because they really deserve it.

They got a Hugo nomination this year for the multiple timeline episode, which is pretty awesome.

So like, while I wasn't paying attetnion FUCKING EVERYTHING STARTED PLAYING!

Now I've got new eppisodes of Avengers :EMH, Ledgend of Kora, like 10 episodes of the green lantern show, a new spiderman show, new Scooby doo mystery inc to watch.

[Robert McSantos]

I know! My saturdays are packed with nothing except watching TV and talking about TV. So many good shows.

[Ben]

Ok so
Scooby doo: As good as usual. Can't wait to see how this season goes.
Ledgend of Kora: Went in with pretty high expectations, and it exceeded them, freaking brilliant.
Ultimate Spiderman: Kind... of sucks. The cut away jokes are bad, peter/mj etc are no were near as likeable as Spectacular, I'm going to give it a chance to get better and it has Nova in (although with weirdly a completly different name? I guess they didn't want a dude named Dick Ryder in a kids cartoon?) Mainly going to keep watching for Nova
Avengers: OOOOOOOH SHIT! So hype!
Green Lantern: Had absolutley 0 expectations for this show, ended up being pretty rad.

Loving Korra, Avengers, and Green Lantern for all the reasons Ben mentioned.

Also agree with him on Ultimate Spider-Man. The usual Spider-Man melodrama completely kills the humor the show is going for. The super-realistic art style just looks outdated, like it's a throwback from the 80's. But lots of shows have a rough start, so I'll keep watching for now.

Still having a hard time getting over my preconceived hatred of Scooby Doo, but Derrick Wyatt can just make anything work, can't he? I heard he's art director on the new Ben 10 coming this fall. I never got into that franchise, but you can bet I'll be checking out the new one just because him.

Have you checked out the new season of Transformers: Prime, Ben? So far, I think it's been much better than the last season, probably because they brought in some of the writers from Animated (another Derrick Wyatt classic).

Ooo new Avatar..

Speaking of super hero cartoons I found that AWESOME xmen series from the 90's on DVD in the shops yesterday. There were multiple volumes at $12 a pop.. Could get a complete set so I didn't bother but yeah epic nostalgia bomb.

Also lots of sexy times in GoT this week. TROLOLOL to the dude who felt up his sister.

I have fond memories of the two Mojo episodes from that show. Shame they never got around to Arcade.

[Ben]

been following prime since it started, really loving it. Last episode was great too, especially the bit with star scream and arcee at the end.
I'd say the strength of Mystery Inc isn't so much Wyatt more just really fucking solid writing. With great character development and an interesting story arc

[Robert McSantos]

Wyatt actually contributes to the story side much more than art directors usually do. He always goes to meetings with the writers and contributes ideas. Most of the nods to previous Scooby Doo series, such as Vincent van Ghoul's role, come from him.

Probably my favorite easter egg, in the soccer game at the beginning of the Aphrodite episode, you can see Red Herring from A Pup Named Scooby Doo.

[Agrajag]

I gotta finish watching Mystery Inc. I did enjoy a lot how they sang that Earth Wind Fire and Air song from the movie. Even though that movie was kinda not that great in retrospect, but nostalgia!

[Tekkactus]

The Witch's Ghost was a classic!

The villain was Tim Curry playing a Stephen King expy, what more could you ask for?!

[Agrajag]

I have significant problems with all the Scooby Doo movies because they feature real ghosts/zombies/monsters/etc instead of just dudes in masks.
