Well HM was good 2 disturbing things though, Mguirk Puking, and Perry and that other kid. Other than that, it was pretty funny.

I may be going too far, but.... I think Ripping Friends is the worst show on Cartoon Network, in any timeslot.

Home Movies was great. Probably the least outlandish of all season 3 so far.

Home Movies - Didn't really pay much attention to it... I'll add my opinion tomorrow or whenever I get around to watching my tape of it. :) - NO RATING

The Oblongs - Coming soon

I enjoyed last week's episode of Home Movies more, but this episode had a couple of giggles.

Brendon Small's music has really improved.

Well I'm gonna post as I see them cause I dunno how long I'll last tonight.

But Home Movies was pretty damn good I think. Once again McGuirk is hungover beyond repair and spouts some of the best lines.
"You ever seen two dorks fight before Brendon? It's hilarious."

I thought this episode was really well animated too, I loved the lile camera pans on Jason and Brendon during the fight with the fire in the background just before the Sci-Fi people broke in. Not to mention my suprise when Melissa pulled off her cloak with a Borg head thingy. I woulda liked to see McGuirk beat the snot out of everyone and save the day, but I've been that hungover before, I'm suprised he could do anything.

Over all I thought it was a pretty good episode.

I'm watching the Oblongs right now and I feel sad as hell for Milo.

HM- Wow, this was a great episode. It was hilarious all over. I only didn't like that kid wearing the helmet(the one always talking about ruining the Sci-fi people) 9/10

Oblongs-ONG THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!! The fashion show scene was my favorite part, LOL!!! 15/10

Ripping Friends-pretty funny tonight, that terorist guy sounded a lot like Ren at times 8/10

Harvey Birdman-I've seen it before, when they showed it 10 times before, it's good but not as good as the others 8/10

Sealab 2021-very funny, wacky and funny again 10/10

Aqua Teen Hunger Force-now this is one of the funniest episodes "Behold, my fiance!" lol, it's just too funny, can't wait for next month 10/10

Brak Show-this one was also great, definately one of the good ones 8/10

SGC2C-missed

Ugh, John K can have some funny stuff, but sometimes the gross out humor.....well..grosses me out, what I just witnessed with the armpit flab........keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ripes man.

The ministers of war, torture, and slapping gave me a few chuckles though.

HOME MOVIES
Renaissance
Alright, SKÄB. Duane and his band are great characters, and their musical numbers are one of the highlights of this episode. This was a great episode, thoughtful and stylish with a razor wit that doesn't hold back. The episode's title was fitting in more than once sense; Home Movies definately feels like it's going through a rebirth and becoming something even better. This show is pure awesomeness. It is Superman, tossing cars at bad guys. It is King Kong, swatting at planes from the top of the Empire State Building. It is Darth Vader, using the Force to choke a helpless subordinate from over a video phone. It is the unstoppable force and the immovable object. This show once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
RATING: 4.5 / 5


THE OBLONGS
The Bucketheads
The plot was fairly predictable (did anyone honestly think Milo would still be a fashion icon by the time the end credits rolled?) but as usual, the show's strength lies in the individudal jokes and gags. Funny stuff here.
RATING: 3.5 / 5


THE RIPPING FRIENDS
Infernal Wedding
A solid episode, with a very cinematic feel that I hope will be maintained throughout the rest of the series. The story flowed evenly for the most part, and the brothers themselves are truly hilarious. This series strikes me as a very sick, twisted and unholy version of "The Powerpuff Girls". I dig that.
RATING: 4 / 5


HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW
Bannon
I love how the Race Bannon robot defaults to Disco Stud mode when it reboots. I'm still not sure if this show is funnier when it takes an easy target like "Johnny Quest" or "Scooby-Doo" and pummels it mercilessly, or when it has to weave a little more of a story to hit the punchlines.
RATING: 3.5 / 5


SEALAB 2021
Waking Quinn
I don't know why this episode cracks me up, but it does. Maybe it's the total, plot-devoid randomness. Maybe it's Murphy and Marco borrowing disturbingly appropriate lines from "Apocalypse Now" ("are my methods unsound?"), then completely undermining the seriousness of the scene they're mimicking ("So wet willy for you!"). Maybe it's Stormy being even dumber than usual, if that's possible. Regardless, it all adds up to COMEDY GOLD.
RATING: 4 / 5

AQUA TEEN HUNGERFORCE
MC Pee Pants
"I'm startin' to fade."
"I can still see some paint, and it's mockin' me."
"I had a strizzoke in mah brizzain!"
"Now pull up your diaper. You want to make a good impression."
"Hey, hey, it's cool!" "NO, IT'S NOT."
My favorite episode of ATHF. This is the second episode where Meatwad has had a chemical dependence. That probably shouldn't be funny, but it is.
Rating: 4.5 / 5

THE BRAK SHOW
War Next Door
I like the episode title, even though it pertains to the subplot instead of the main plot. Funniest parts: Zorak's impromptu first musical number, the final scene.
RATING: 3 / 5

SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST
Batmantis
Some nice camera work in this episode. It is a crime against humanity that Adam West has not been given his own late-night talk show. I like the fact that he's one of the few past guests who is truly on the same wavelength as Space Ghost, yet he only shows up to plug his book. I love the episodes of this show that try to have a plot, but keep forgetting that they're trying to have a plot because they're just having too much fun. The dialogue over the end credits is great.
RATING: 4 / 5

SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST
Warren (short version)
The "long version" of the episode simply repeats the whole thing in a loop three times (after Space Ghost asks "What else is on?", the channel is changed to "The Warren Show" and everything starts over). I have no clue why it was done that way, but I've never seen the long version again since its original airing. This is a great episode, due largely to the bizarre showdown between Space Ghost's old and new voice actors, and Zorak harassing Warren, one of my favorite moments of the series.
RATING: 4 / 5

Not too bad of an episode. Not as good as last week's because there were instances of annoyance (the character in the helmet) but otherwise a solid and well made episode.

The music was pretty good too.

I'm not full of comments tonight... goodness I'm tired. A-

Home Movies: Last week was better, but tonight's episode had some excellent moments. That band is getting better and better. If they ever make a Home Movies DVD, it would be neat to see the people responsible for the music (writers and/or performers). Anything involving geeks and nerds being made fun of (thank you McGurk) is always a plus. Overall grade: B

I'll go ahead and mention this again:It would be great if they had a 1-800 CALL ATT commercial starring ....... Walter and Perry!!!! Imagine the possibilities.

The Oblongs: More hate and more violence makes this show bad. Last week I said the show is getting better and I still stand by it. A few big laughs saved this show from getting a F grade. However, all the hate and violence (and there is a lot) was yet again depressing.Overall grade: D.

Ripping Friends: Last week's episode was good, but this week's episode was weak. However, I still liked it.

The quality of animation matches with the content of the show and the bizarreness of the characters and that is why this episode works. This episode shows more of what I said last week: It's like Ren wrote this episode and then Stimpy came in and made some drastic changes. It's funny because it's wacky,odd, unexpected, and somehow makes sense (this is why Ripping Friends is better than The Oblongs).

Overall grade: C+

BTW, who is the person responsible for choosing these clips for the ASC commercials?? A lot of times the content isn't funny, yet the episode itself has funnier content. Does anyone else agree?

Ripping Friends seems to have improved. I'd probably give it a B. I enjoyed it more than Oblongs, which also seems to be growing on me, but I'd only give it like a C+. I wish it was just a little less predictable with the whole "Valley Kids are Losers/Hill Kids are Winners Although They're Morons" thing.

I've seen Batmantis a million times, but it still rules.

Wow, they already broke out of SG's first season. I thought "Gum, Disease" was supposed to air tonight. Well, whatever. "Warren" was HILARIOUS. I also liked "Batmantis" because they managed to parody the old Batman series without being predictable ("OBVIOUS PARODY!").

Joe Tully
10-14-2002, 01:32 AM
Yeah, I just checked CN.com and Gum, Disease is still scheduled for that time.

Did anyone watch Oh Canada? They had some decent stuff on tonight.

Home Movies - I liked it. McGuirk is a fool. :p The whole day was destined to be chaos, and it was funny.

The Oblongs - Usually don't watch this show. But tonight's was pretty funny. The whole "coolness" angle was dumb, but the one-liners were funny.

And hey, no cut openings.... :p

Later.

I actually enjoyed Home Movies, this being the first time I really watch it and I thought it was funny. Oblongs was funny too.

10-14-2002, 09:01 AM
Leftover pizza and a decently-dubbed Frontier ep makes J-chan a happy morning person.

HM: This could be one of my favorite episodes ever, now that I think about it. I felt so bad for McGuirk, and he had some absolutely wonderful lines as usual. I laugh at port-o-potties. They're funny. I never seen a green one before though.. ehehe.. erm. The musical numbers were just incredible! The beating of the dragon, Robin Hood stealing Guenivere and giving her to the poor, and I wasn't expecting Melissa to be the traitor at all! And, of course, Walter and Perry were absolute gold, the cherry (or should I say apple?) on top of a delicious ice cream sundae (Sunday?) of comedy. Rah!
And I'm a sucker for medieval things.

Oblongs: This unfortunately brought me down from my Home Movies high.. I mean, it started out pretty good, and the Hill kids actually showed some brains at that one moment where they questioned why they thought that guy was so cool.. but the rest was kinda eh aside from some sweet one-liners. It's still nice to show that yes, some people will jump off that bridge if one person does it.

Ripping Friends: First half I spent wrapping up what I was doing on the computer and getting ready for bed. Second half I paid half-attention to. The animation itself isn't bad, 'cos I still am a John K fan at heart, but I don't think I even smiled internally at any point. Like it if you want, but it's not my cup of tea.

HB:AAL: I've mentioned before that I love this ep. I don't need to see it a million times though. Or even ten.

Sealab: Aaaaaaa, crap on a crap cracker I love this episode. Mainly because of Stormy's complete lack of intelligence. It's just so funny how he's singing to himself at the beginning, with the hairdryer.

ATHF: This ep gets better every time I watch it. I love that giant spider, oh yes I do. I need candy.

Brak: I like the beautiful man voice, but overall, meh.

SGC2C: Aaa, sweet sweet Batmantis! One of my favorite episodes. "Shoot the theory of evolution!" I love bake sales~~ and I think I've seen Warren before but I can't remember. Solid.

I've seen O Canada a couple of times, including tonight. None of the toons are laugh out loud hilarious, but I like the slight chuckle comedy every once in a while. The three shown last night were pretty good, including the peeping tom one, the scrabble game, and the black flies in "On-tar-EE-O"

Pretty Cool

Home Movies, "Renaissance": Ahh, refreshing! I'd take this week's episode over last week's any day. And, after all my complaints about last week's episode, it’s great to have nothing but praise for this one. The premise and ending were a bit odd, but that's easily overlooked, as this episode has some great comedic moments that comes from good ol' character interaction.

All the characters were in perfect form. Jason, Melissa, Brendon, and McGuirk, (even Lynch, Fenton, and Walter and Perry) all stayed true to their characters and were all hilarious in the process. There were a number of great moments in this episode, including the Robin Hood and King Arthur play (with some excellent music from SKÄB), the opening scene in the car with a tired Paula and allergic Jason, Brendon’s indifference to the Sci-Fi/Medieval "war," and McGuirk's angry drunken state, which, while we’ve seen it before, still proves to be hilarious.

Also, the animation really looked fantastic. The Robing Hood and King Arthur play had some simply awesome-looking moments, like Jason pointing his bow at the camera, or Brendon’s cape blowing in the wind as he held out his sword. I'd love to see someone make some avatars out of this stuff.

I really only have one complain, and it’s not that big of one. It’s just that the final "battle" at the end of the show felt much more…I don’t know, "surreal" for lack of a better word, than the show usually is. Changing up the feel of the show every now and then isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I wouldn’t want every episode to end in some "weird" way. This time 'round, though, I’m able to just accept that it’s kind of a "weird" ending, especially when it looks as good as this one did. It was also pretty funny to see Melissa turn out to be the "traitor" and her reasons behind it. And how can you not love McGuirk drinking with a bunch of gnomes?

So, luckily, you're all spared my whine-fest this week. Let's hope this keeps up, and, judging from next week's preview, it looks like it just might.

The Oblongs, "Bucketheads": The main complaint I have about this one is that it feels like I've seen this a number of times before. It seems to me that the ideas of people following trends, what’s cool and what makes it that way, and the temporary nature of trends has been done by a bunch of other shows in the past.

Also, it seemed that the rest of the show's humor didn't really match up to its usual standards, either. Looking back on it, I really can't remember any moments that stand out. While I don’t really love the show, I can usually remember a few good laughs. I’m sure I chuckled a few times here, but nothing really stands out. I’d definitely say this was one of the weakest Oblongs episodes. I didn’t say "worst," because it wasn’t really bad, it just wasn’t really strong comedically.

The Ripping Friends, "Infernal Wedding": I'd say this was definitely an improvement over last weeks episode. Although, in my opinion, that wouldn't have been too hard. This one had some memorably funny moments including the armpit folds and the child soldiers, which, while disgusting and tasteless, were actually pretty funny. I also really loved the line about "Revenge: it's the American way!"

I'd say that this one had a more of a Ren and Stimpy feel than the last one, as well. I don't want to get into the habit of comparing every episode of this show to R&S, but with Ren's voice actor and some very similar music, I just couldn't help making the comparison. Anyway, this was an improvement, and, while I still didn't really like it all that much, it was fairly entertaining and certainly watchable.

Harvey Birdman: AAL, "Bannon Custody Case": Well, it's been said many times, in many ways, by many people, and it looks like I'll have to echo them: after so many airings (of a show I didn't think was all that great to begin with) it pretty much loses any effect it once had. Anyway, the highlight of this episode, for me, was the brief Lizardman bit. Other than that...meh.

Sealab 2021, "Waking Quinn": This is definitely an episode that has stood the test of time. Sure, we've seen it plenty of times before, but it's still holds up and remains hysterical. Random scene after random scene just keeps bringing the comedy. The Apocolypse Now scene, Chubby Cox, the Dolphin Boy photo shoot are the highlights.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, "MC Pee Pants": I really didn't love this one the first time I saw it, but, after watching it again, I realize it's a really good one. I wouldn't put it up there with the "best" episodes, but I'd say it's one of the better ones. Who'd imagine we'd ever see Carl and Meatwad spending so much time together?

The Brak Show, "War Next Door": This is one of the few good ones, with Zorak's anger at his beautiful man voice making the episode. We see a good number of songs in this one, and they're all pretty funny, as well. The whole "war next door" thing was kinda odd, though, since they just sort of left it hanging there.

Space Ghost: C2C, "Batmantis": Without a doubt, the best scene in this one is the "Obvious Parody!" that comes out when you "blast and get a word." Then, "Shoot a proper noun!", "Kenny Rogers!" And it's always funny when someone tries to plug their book, which is cue for the show to cut to some random wackiness. This one's great, with excellent comedy throughout.

Space Ghost: C2C, "Warren": "Warren? I love Warren!" This one's also really good, and it's great to see some episodes that haven't been repeated twenty times over in the past two months, for a change. This one's kinda odd in the way it plays out (not in the funny, random way we're used to, but more in a "huh, that's...odd" sort of way. But, then again, the constant changes are what keeps you on your toes, and what makes the show great. Anyway, these were both great SG epsidoes, that haven't been shown in a while...what more can you ask for?

This was a great night for ASC. Some funny new stuff, some funny old stuff. The whole night had lots of...funny...stuff... :rolleyes:

Okay, I'm done.

I only seen Home Movies as usual. I have to say I really liked this episode. I completely loved the King Arthur and Robin Hood play the music, the facial expression it was all perfect. I really liked how they made you think Jason was the tratior but it ended up being Melissa. Coach McGuirk was great as usual. It seemed odd how Fenton was nice to Brendon for most of the show. Other then that and the usual under use of Jason it was great. We need to see Jason and McGuirk together more. Jason and McGuirk were very funny when they were fighting for the nurse lol. Can't wait to see next weeks. WE NEED A HOME MOVIES DVD!!!

HM: Where to start? One of the best Season 3 eps, and a step up from last week's, which was only average. The humor and zaniness were nonstop, the animation was topnotch, and the ending was beyond crazy(Anyone else catch Harry Potter and the Queen from Aliens?). Never guessed Melissa was the traitor. My only complaint is that they didn't answer the question of how the war was settled....My guess is that since it's been going on for several years, it must still be going. I'll take the sci-fi side.:)

Oblongs: Played Star Fox Adventures instead of watching this. While I like Oblongs, it's not on my list of top things to watch.

Ripping Friends: Now THIS was an improvement. Things just seemed to click a lot better than last week's mediocre premiere. The plot was a lot better, we got a lot more characters, things weren't so repetitive and drawn-out, and it was just plain funnier. There's still nothing on this show that prevents it from being shown outside Adult Swim, however.*Awaiting Season 2 with interest*

Rare that I do reviews, but I must tonight!

Home Movies: 100% hilarious added in with geek jokes. They remind me much of myself. ^_^ (I'd be an in between. sci fi and medieval both rule)
My god, why couldn't gold like this appear in season 1?! I LOVED THIS EP WITH ALL MY HEART! And what threw me was Melissa with the cyborg gear...^_^ A+

Oblongs: Meh. It had its laughs. mostly when Helga wasn't on stage. That group of Milos kills the show. -_-0
Will Ferril is funny at times, but is mostly a pain in the ass. oh well. More of a reason why Baby Blues needs to make a return. ^^ C-

Ripping Friends: Ugh. More obnoxious sick crap. I know that's John K's style, and although I liked Ren and Stimpy, this show is just STRETCHING it. I liked the Yogi specials better than this crap. Although I giggled a few times (Revenge: It's the American Way), I must say this show has no right to be on Adult Swim. F

fell alseep there, but:

HB: AAL: Enough already. Once I was complaining about how it's not on. NOw I will complain that it IS on. Still a classic. A+

SeaLab: Ick. This was one of the reasons why I stopped watching the show. Lameness written all over. D

Brak Show: A classic. *sniff* Who can't grin at this one? A

Home Movies: This show just keeps getting better. One hilarious moment after another. Probably my favorite AS show right now. McGuirk's discussion with Brendon about getting a burger was a highlight.

Oblongs: A lot of people seem to be warming up to this show, but I haven't enjoyed it since day one. It's just more annoying than entertaining. All of the humor in last night's show, especially the take-offs of the fashion industry, were more predictable than anything.

Ripping Friends: A slight improvement over last week, but still uninteresting and unfunny.

Harvey Birdman: Very funny, even if we've seen it too many times. I also love the lizard man bit, especially with the three other lizard men in the audience.

Sealab: A very bizarre episode, even for someone who's seen "Waking Life." All the photos of Dolphin Boy are very wrong, yet so very funny.

ATHF: A great episode, even if it's a little on the crude side. Interesting how Frylock begins the episode by calmly praising classical music, and by the end, he's the one who so willfully blows up the bad guy.

Brak: Not one of the best Braks, but still a lot of good bits, such as Zorak's songs, and the one robot at the end who doesn't want to face Thunderclese. Here's hoping they'll go back to the idea of Brak's mom building a monster in a future episode.

Space Ghost: I never know what to make of this show. It's like I'm always one step behind whatever's going on. Like, should I know what the deal is with the talking plant, or is just a talking plant and I should go with it? But it's always an interesting show to watch, in that surrealist/dreamlike/David Lynch kind of way.

O Canada: I know it's not technically part of AS, but it fit right in, and was quite good. (This is the first time I've seen O Canada) The Scrabble game/nuclear holocaust cartoon managed to be both disturbing and cute at the same time.

Home Movies: Not really great, not really bad. So just so-so I guess. Definitely an unexpected basis for an episode, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I liked last week's better tho. Grade: B-

Oblongs: While I hate this show and would just as soon never see another episode...the last two have been slightly better than usual. There were even a couple jokes I found funny (although not enough that I can remember them now, a day later). Grade: D

Ripping Friends: Not much of a fan for this Spumco crap but RF is something of an improvement over those Hanna Barbara one-shots. In the rare instances when it manages to focus away from body noises and gross out humor, this show actually has some potential to be funny. Then again, maybe I just like superhero stuff and am more forgiving when that's the subject. Powdered Toast Man was my favorite Ren & Stimpy character. Grade: C-

Long time no review.

Home Movies: Missed most but from what I saw was good.

Oblongs: One of the best episodes I've seen. Funzy. HAHA
Grade: A

Ripping Friends: Slight improvement from last week, but still bad. Flipped through channels most of the time. Show me the CN exclusive episodes and maybe I'll reconsider thinking this show should be canceled. BRING BACK MISSION HILL!
Grade: F

HBAAL: NO MORE!!! It was great the first time, but bring on the new ones!!!!
First time Grade: A After Repeats: D

The rest will be just grades.

Sealab: B
ATHF: A
Brak: A -
Both SGC2Cs: A

By the way, saw a little of O Canada, not too bad. I'd give it a B.

Drunken Gnomes??? in Home Movies??? I love it...

Sci-Fi-ers can kiss my tiny grog-filled Medieval buttocks... Your knee-caps are mine, flyboys!

I didn't even catch that Melissa was the traitor. Who would have thought she would have assimilated to the dark side??? Loved the "pretend" battle at the end where the sci-fiers are shooting foam balls at the King, and the medieval gaurds are trying to "protect" their king from being hit. Plastic lifesabers and plastic swords clashing on the open grass field. Dork fest galore. Makes me want to go to war with the Adult Swim Saturday Action block fans...

The Oblongs was funny too. The dad just singing, "Play that funky music white boy" for the longest time just kept me laughing. And the Faunzie impersonation was just hysterical. I know lots of people don't like that show, but once you can get past laughing at a bunch of lower class disfigured people, it's a really sweet and funny show... the age old battle between the lower and upper class never gets old. I wonder if Communists would find this funny???

I don't care much for Home Movies or Oblongs or Braks show. Its all about Sealab 2021 and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I wish these were longer then 10 minutes though... each one deserves a half hour.


The Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode about the MC Piss Pants was the funniest one ever... no need to mention what happened, it was class :)

The Sealab 2021 was a re-run of the acid trip episode, it was nuts. Deffinetly my favorite Sealab episode as nothing made sense, it was just a stream of conciousness :D

You know it! Those guys need to go back to writing Ren & Stimpy cartoons. Ripping Friends is just lame because the characters aren't lovable or even likalbe. R&S was the best cartoon on in 1992. ;)

Of what I saw...

Home Movies: EXCELLENT episode. I hope the rest of season three is this good..

Oblongs: This show is starting to grow on me, I'm afraid. Helga saying "fitty bones?" really made me laugh for some reason.

Ripping Friends: Definitely an improvement, but really. This show has so much unfulfilled potential. I'm anxiously looking forward to the AS episodes..

Sealab: I can't say I'm a fan of this episode. I love randomness as much of the next guy, but jebus..

Aqua Teens: Classic stuff. I hadn't seen this episode before and I found myself laughing quite a bit throughout. I feel bad that I've only seen a few episodes of this.

The end.

My review:

Home Movies: I only like the series because of Coach McGuirk. There really wasn't that much focus on him. C-

Oblongs: Good episode, but I only like the ones that have never aired on The WB, especially the one before this ep. where Bob becomes a lifeguard after getting mechanical arms and legs. B-

Ripping Friends: I truly and totally freaked out upon seeing this episode. Like I said before, I love John K. because he's such a rebel in a world where children's cartoons (outside of Cartoon Network) are either moral or commercial and the classics are being banned or edited, but this was too much. My sister had thought I'd gone crazy when I said "Don't hit! Don't hit!" when the Ripping Friends were riding the bombs and they almost hit Big Ben and The Taj Mahal, but that was because I now know why Fox cut this episode.

Overall, good episode, but what do you expect from John K.? A-/B+

Harvey Birdman: The Bannon Custody case episode will forever be remembered to me as the first time CN did not object to having homosexual allusions (though I always think of "Time Squad" as having homosexual allusions without the censorship getting uptight about it). I liked the part where the janitor notices the plug to the Bannon robot and the robot starts dancing to disco. A

Sealab, ATHF, Brak, Space Ghost: Didn't see them; fell asleep.

Home Movies: didn't really like this episode. Specifically, I didn't think McGuirk was all that funny, thought the puking bit was stupid, and for someone who has never been to a rennaissance fair, I didn't find all the "making fun of rennaissance fair people" stuff all that funny--I felt like if I knew those kinds of people it would be different. Overall, though, it just didn't do it for me.

Sealab 2021: never seen this one before. I thought it had some great parts (stinky pete, unsound methods, dolphin boy, hammer game) but I got really annoyed with the Chubby Cox bit. It's like they were saying "Do you get it? Huh? Huh? Chubby Cox, get it? Do you get it? Chubby Cox!" Also, I see this as an episode that was somewhat hindered by the 15 minute time constraint, but hey, what can you do.

ATHF: great. Really really really funny. Great lines by all. Came together well.

Brak: funny, but I thought Zorak's songs could have been funnier. Plus, it got some groans for making Zorak like a boy band singer. Ugh.

SGC2C 1: Eh.
SGC2C 2: Classic episode.
