Oh, that's where I'm seeing it. I wonder why the DVR didn't catch the first showing. Whatever, I'll see it, that's the important thing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have my DVR set to grab first run episodes on any channel because Disney seems to switch around what channel they show them on.

I tried to do that for a while, but it fills up my limited capacity for series recordings. The episodes eventually show up On Demand, if nothing else.

So this article makes the case that the Simpsons episode Flaming Moe's is really about how Sam Simon got cut out of credit for helping to create the Simpsons. It makes a whole lot of sense.

My memory of watching Flaming Moe's when it first aired was that was when The Simpsons changed for me from being this flash-in-the-pan TV show to something much greater. It just reached a level of perfection that I never saw in a TV show before, and it was able to sustain it for a long time afterwards.

RIP Sam Simon.

OK, now that I have seen Gravity Falls, wow, that was great!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Anyone else watching the Ultimate Spider-Man? Digging the other realms play on animation styles! Rather fun.

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 tried watching it when it first came out and thought it was terrible, especially compared to Spectacular Spider-man, which it replaced. I never went back to see if it had gotten any better.
