    I don’t think I’ve ever found Cartoon Network interesting, except for a brief spell in my teens.

    Wait, is Foster's over too?

    5 more episodes, then it's done.

    75-80 episodes seems to be CN's limit.

    Man.

    I liked it more when they had a stable of 5 or 6 shows they just kept pumping out episodes of. I know Dexter had more than 100 episodes.

    I went fishing for rainbow trout last week. The old man across the lake from me caught a ton of the fuckers and I didn't get a single one.

    I mean I can understand a desire to have something you can effectively merchandise, but shit 7-12 year olds have no money. 22+ year old males have all the money.

    These are not hard maths.

    Parents, although at that age you’re probably going to feel weird about having your parents buy merch.

    7-12 year-olds have parents with of money, and are more often than not spoiled rotten these days. It's easier to sell them crappy action figures and bed sheets and whatnot.

    Yeah you have to actually try with the adults.

    At least most of the time. Some adults probably collect anything they can get their hands on, like the creepy fanboy in the Powerpuff Girls.

    Crappy plastic merch is not nearly as popular with kids these days as it was for us growing up. Electronic merch for older fans (DVDs/soundtracks/high-end collectibles and the like) can be much more profitable if properly sold. Marketing people rarely realize this, though.

    Hey, chatgeniuses, genii, marids.

    What can I do to make a side-dish of sauteed green veg less boring? There's asparagus, courgette/zucchini, peppers, long onions and more in the fridge.

    Spicy chilliness is a no-no. I'm stumped, partly because I'm hungry so my brain doesn't work.

    Chowder is alright, but Flapjack is trying too hard to be Spongebob, and it just doesn't work.

    Some combination of garlic, butter, and lemon always works.

    About Flapjack and chowder? Flapjack is okay but I would rather watch Spongebob or Fairly Odd Parents.

    Doug was terrible. Absolutely nothing redeeming whatsoever.

    Spongebob is the worst attempt to nakedly pander to pothead manchildren I have ever seen. It's not awful, and is in fact frequently entertaining, but it's not even close to deserving the level of acclaim it receives. It's just dumb.

    If you have to be drunk/on drugs to enjoy a piece of art, the art sucks.
