Seriously, if you’re not watching Adventure Time, it’s a way better show than you think it is.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
That's a great primer. My only beef is with this:
With greater emphasis on romantic plots, season three actively tries to appeal to a female audience, a strategy that is heavily bolstered by the introduction of Fionna (Madeleine Martin) and Cake (Roz Ryan), the gender-swapped versions of the show’s central pair.
Really? It's Ice King fanfic! I thought it succeeded at being hilariously awful storytelling, but that's about it.

Quisp: Anyone watching "Wander Over Yonder", Craig McCracken's new series on Disney? It's no Powerpuff Girls, but after a handful of episodes, I think it has potential.

I keep meaning to, I haven't yet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Adventure Time Primer.
I prefer "Another Ten episodes to the ones they picked. I would never start anybody off with "A Glitch Is A Glitch."
And I think "Into the Nightosphere" and "What Was Missing" are key episodes. Plus the whole storyline with the Lich is powerful and had a huge cliffhanger.
When I go look through DeviantArt and I find realistic depictions of the characters I'm always struck by how incredibly horrific Finn's circumstances really are, and tragic.

Yeah, the show is actually quite dark, and getting darker. They've been dropping less and less subtle hints about how Princess Bubblegum might be evil for a while now. I wonder if her getting her amulet back might be the catalyst for something.
On the other hand, one of my favorite episodes, Shhh!, isn't dark at all. BMO! Bikini Babes! Cool music!

I watched the most recent Korra. Why is she so stupid?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I saw Adventure Time slippers in a store yesterday, and waved them at Tim and said "This is a show we should be watching."
Tim: "A show...about slippers?"
Me: "Yes. A show about slippers. And the feet that get shoved in them."

This season of Korra is not what I hoped for from being titled Spirits.
I've heard so many good things about Adventure Time but I just don't like the art. I don't think I can get past that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I've heard so many good things about Adventure Time but I just don't like the art. I don't think I can get past that.
The art, and the sense of the humor in the assorted commercials I've seen is very much not my thing.
But yeah, it takes a lot for me to get past art I don't care for. (Which is why it took strong encouragement from a huge Spidey-fan co-worker to give Spectacular Spider-man a try back in the day, and I put off reading Scott Pilgrim for so long.)
