SMRT-TV!

[yendi]

Only a few of you might already know this, but today is the debut of SMRT-TV.Com, a new webzine dedicated to "overthinking the idiot box." And I'm one of the overthinkers! I'll be writing the animation column for them, which you can find (along with all the other great debut columns, the forums, interviews, etc) by clicking on the SMRT-TV logo:



Major props to editor-in-chief lizlet, who probably hasn't slept in weeks.

I'll have to check it out a bit more when I have time (i.e. later this week).

Hey-- they don't link to TVPicks.net, but they do link to TV Gal? They can't be all that smart . . . ;-p

:-)

Well, fwiw, I take no responsibility for the links page.

TVPicks.net? Sounds interesting. Thanks.

Good column. Spot on. :)

I miss waking up on Saturdays rushing to take over the television, though. Ritual has a lot of attraction.

*nod* I think much of the misplaced nostalgia is confusing that ritual (which was special) for the content (which, for the most part, wasn't).

Your "mailto" at the end of the article says "lifkin"!

[yendi]

Ack! Just dropped a line to Liz to get it fixed. The mailto on my bio works fine, but that's the one people are less likely to use.

*nods* People will be eager to e-mail you immediately 'pon reading your fabulous column, and eek!

Good article. Your discussion of bad cartoons brought to mind the most truly heinous cartoon I remember from my youth: The Mighty Hercules (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0271917/). Even as a child I was laughing at how bad it was. Didn't keep me from watching though.

[yendi]

*shudder* I have vague memokries watching it, probably expecting Herculoids.

[ian-gunn.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten about the Herculoids. It wasn't bad enough to etch itself in my memory the way The Mighty Hercules did. ;) Oh, and the theme song always stuck in my head. It was the only "quality" thing about the show, and I use the term loosely. Listen to it here (http://www.melaman2.com/cartoons/singles/m-herc.html) if you want to trigger latent brain cells. I Actually it is pretty bad, but compared to the rest of the show...
