Ok, as promised, I am watching a second episode of each epsiode (except Cowboy Bebop) so here we go:

Home Movies: I was a little disappointed this week because the other episode from the week before was better. The bit about the Coach getting a sausage was very funny and I also liked the scenes in the theater (and the bit about the teacher talking about the Walk A Thon at the beginning). But since I laughed, I'll give it a C+.

Mr. Linger: This was very good. I believe the animation is done by the same people who do TV Funhouse on Saturday Night Live. I'd prefer this over Hunger Force. B+ (would of been an A if the skit was longer).

Baby Blues: I'll confess that I liked this episode....more than last weeks. I liked the video game skit (not the lead in to it, just the dialogue during the fight) and Rodney's comments when the Party lady showed up ("This place really listens to Suggestion Boxes"). After that, the story became predicable and boring. Question: They showed Zoe with a birthday hat on and the parents are holding her and looking right at her. Why did it take the wife (I don't know all the names) three minutes to realize she had a brithday hat on?? Anyway, since it was better than the previous episode, I'll give it a middle C grade.

The next show I forgot the name of. It involved the two characters from Space Ghost (Zorak or something). I wasn't crazy about this show although I prefer it over Hunger Force. I'll give it a D since I wasn't entertained.

Space Ghost was cool like last time. I didn't like the Bjork episode that much, but I really liked the Ice T one where Space Ghost was dancing and the whole thing about the "boogie ghost". So taking my opinions on both shows, I'll give it an average final grade of B+.

One last thing: BRING BACK BIG O!!!

I forgot to mention Sea Lab 2021 in my previous post. This was really a one joke episode so it got really boring fast (was this the last episode?). I give it a D+ since some of the robot dialogue was funny.

Also, the more I thought about it, the more I liked Home Movies. So I am changing my grade from C+ to a middle B grade.

WHAAAAAT?!? HOLD THE PHONE MABLE what are you talkin about!? I,Robot is my fav sealab episode. The character interaction is amazing. From Adrian BarBoBots to Tiger Bot Hesh! Not to mention a million other great things.

I'll disagree also and say Sealab 2021 and ATHF are good shows. I like them, personally. I like Sealab perhaps a bit more than ATHF. What do you (JTurner) think is wrong with ATHF and Sealab 2021?

To me, this Sealab 2021 has one joke: The fact that they were ignoring the destruction of the lab and taking about robots. I didn't find it that funny. But, I'll watch it again on Thursday anyway (keep in mind that it's the second episode of the show that I have seen).

As far as Teen Force, I didn't understand it. Too weird for me.

This was definitely one of the funnier episodes. The fact that the one joke lasted so long and completely took over every thought of the crew was hilarious. And when Murphy says that he doesn't need Rome telling him what to do, regarding robot suicide...well that's gold!!

"I, Robot" was one of the funniest episodes of Sealab so far (the best being "Murphy Murph and the Feng Shui Bunch"), and "Knifin' Around" is one of the best SGC2C eps ever. But, then again, that's just my opinion.

I don't see how one joke can be "the funniest episode".

BTW, which episode is "Knifin' Around"??

Well, weve all got our opinions. I personally really like home movies and cowboy bebop, while other ppl think cb and hm are crap. sgc2c is okay, but its not worth raving about (to me at least). baby blues isnt very funny and shouldnt get much air time. and those other shows are just kinda weird, so i dont watch them. but thats just me.

I agree with everything you said except for Space Ghost and Cowboy bebop (I don't know Bebop that much so I won't judge it).
