Huh, good point, I hadn't realized that. Connection, perhaps?

Some enterprising artist should draw all three of them together.

That pretty much summarizes it. He looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

Thirty bucks says he goes online tonight to check it out.

I hate posting back-to-back.

Anyway, my accountant stopped by an hour or so ago to say "Happy birthday, sign these forms." Yay, incomprehensible financial documents. All written in Imperial Kreen as far as I'm concerned. After signing I remembered to ask if he'd checked out the show, to which he responded, "I did. Please tell me that this isn't the show you went to San Diego for!" I laughed and assured him that it wasn't. He thinks it's disturbing; so does his wife but apparently she likes disturbing, because after he showed it to her she spent a considerable amount of time watching the online episodes and laughing.

They have two children, ages 9 and 7, whom they've decided will not be permitted to watch HTF; they're worried that the younger one will get nightmares and that the older one will get ideas.

For some reason I feel partially responsible for Cass's accountant's mind breaking, since this thread started it all this cute cuddly madness

Not to worry, it's far from the first "WTF??" moment he's had because of me. Trying to explain Foster's to him back in 2005 was an interesting experience as well.

Oh, ok.

My friend C says her favorite is Nutty the Squirrel

I love that little guy too, but Flippy the Bear comes very close

I just watched Remains To Be Seen. Stars, that was disturbing.

Oh, the zombie episode. Eh, I don't find that one to be all that bad myself, but maybe that just illustrates how de-sensitised I've become. At any rate, the exorcist episode (Read 'Em and Weep) is worse. I always find the show to be at its hardest whenever Cub winds up being a victim. He's just so adorable.

I tend to ignore the Pop/Cub episodes, they can get really heartbreaking, especially the beach episode. (I think Partymember brought it up too.)

The ending was just sad >_<

Well, the Pop and Cub episodes may have a tendency to end in tragedy, and I don't particularly enjoy it when Cub suffers, but Pop himself is still one of the show's funniest characters, IMO. It kind of both amuses and saddens me how he could be such a gruesome and negligent parent and yet still love and care about his son as deeply as he evidently does (which, I suspect, is part of the point). I'd have to say that their saddest episode is "And the Kitchen Sink"...being a TV episode it was longer than "Water Way To Go", so consequently Cub had to endure quite a bit more, and still came up way too short in the end for my liking. Fortunately, there are a small handful of episodes which Cub manages to survive unscathed (though seldom when he's a main character), and I do get quite a little buzz when he does.

Oh, dear... "Paddle Eye"... Bloo cannot be permitted to watch We're Scrooged. Ever.

There's a HTF episode called Read 'em and Weep. There's an upcoming Foster's episode by that same title. Just a coincidence. Hopefully...

By the stars this show is so bloody.
