Having watched it this morning, I'm also in the "amused, but not bowled over" place. I hope the kids other than the two leads also get to shine.

Perhaps it's a little on the nose as I'm currently spending the weekend waiting to get called in for a work avalanche, but I just finished watching the first season of The Loop and absolutely love it. It's very weird how much Brett Harrison's character on Reaper has in common with his character in this though, right down to the name Sam.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yep. The Loop was pretty funny. The second season was different since they ditched the home characters and shifted all the focus to the workplace, but it was still funny.

Woohoo! (Unless it's just that the 4 OAV movies are getting cut up into episodes for reshowing.)

I wish I could say the surprised me, but sadly it doesn't.

Douchnozzles indeed.

It could just be publicity for SDCC.

Maybe they can work out some kind of deal where the voice actors get paid more for syndication? Once again, network execs underestimate just how much voice actors add to a cartoon -- at least as much as the writing.
