LS Mark recently tortured himself watching every single episode of Family Guy ever, and giving an overall ranking, this might be more of an achievement than his Simpsons video considering the vast difference in quality we’re talking about. If anyone here still cares or ever liked FG back at its best, what are your thoughts on his choices?

>Sponsor bullshit like every other youtuber these days
>skips the episodes that make fun of blacks/jews/asians/trannies/retards because it's "offensive" and "outdated"
>can't even do the review completely on his own, has other youtubers/friends to do it for him
>censors the nazi symbol
>sonic songs used for transitions to next episodes
>already did a Brian character video so he's already cut part of his leg off with this video

Other than those stupid things, I agree with him, Stewie & Brian were the better parts of the earlier shows and went to shit in the later seasons, but the show in general just kept degrading while repeating the same stories over and over again with sprinkles of funny here and there

All I wonder is did they score?

Honestly this looks like the perfect continuation, I’ve always either pictured them as being 15 or 65, old cranky, yet still as horny, stupid, destructive and funny as the eternal teenagers they were.
 
If you had tuned in to MeTV today you would have seen this classic short:


And completely uncensored too. Wonderful things do indeed happen, even if we never notice them.

Yo.....that was actually pretty dark. And yet, hauntingly beautiful at the same time. This was nominated for an Oscar apparently, and y'know what? Good on it. Thanks for sharing this.

That's because it follows the Andersen story, which ends that way.

This is probably the best of the Columbia cartoons - which have rarely, if ever, been seen on TV. The last time they were regularly shown was in the early 60s, as part of the Ruff and Reddy show. Jerry Beck later did a package of the shorts (and the UPA stuff) called Totally Tooned In, and it aired here about a decade ago - long after it had already aired internationally...

But now MeTV is showing Columbia cartoons on their morning cartoon block, and that is a good thing. Unfortunately they're only showing the Color Rhapsodies. Maybe they'll start showing some Mr. Magoo or Fox and Crow shorts?
 
I remember rumors a decade ago that one of the ideas for Beavis and Butthead was for them to be frozen and thawed out a decade later which explains why they didn’t age. If they did that I could imagine Stewart being like Van Dreissen or Todd becoming like Mr. Anderson, a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars and shell of his former self due to PTSD.
 
Pixar's "Turning Red" is going directly to Disney Plus and skipping a theatrical release. This is what, the third film of theirs in a row to do so?

To be fair, Encanto barely cracked $200 million worldwide over its global theatrical release, well below the $500-$800 million likes of Ralph Breaks the Internet, Moana and Coco in years past. Pixar’s crowd-pleasing Luca was a regular staple among the most-watched movies list offered up by Nielsen for the entire back half of 2021. Encanto debuted on Disney+ following a mere 31 day window on December 24, and it’s very clear (both in terms of online chatter and in terms of Encanto’s songs becoming “viral”) that folks were waiting until the big-budget theatrical musical was available “for free” on the platform before watching it. We’re talking about big-budget films that need large global box office returns to justify themselves, both in terms of raw rate-of-return and in setting higher payouts for talent participants and post-theatrical pay-tv deals. But what Hollywood has done is potentially conditioned general audiences to expect to see these very expensive films for absolutely nothing. Sure, right now there’s perceived value (especially in terms of Wall Street prioritizing streaming revenue) in essentially giving away these $150-$200 million movies as a loss leader. But that’s not a permanent solution to pandemic-specific circumstances.
