What You Should Have Watched: The Wire

Let’s all cleanse our palate from Sarah’s horrid cartoon porn with something I like to call What You Should Have Watched.

In this recurring whatever-you-would-call-this-kind-of-thing, I will attempt to show you, the reader, that there are shining examples of television that legitimize not only the box’s capacity as a format and institution, but as an invention.  More importantly, though, the purpose of these posts will be to chide you for not watching these shows and to get you to start watching or immediately purchase them on DVD because it is important that you watch these things because they are art you big ‘tard.

My first subject will be HBO’s David Simon’s David Hollingsworth’s Favorite Show Ever The Wire, which is maybe a bad idea because it will make all other shows I’ll attempt to defend look like big old garbage shits (shits from eating garbage).

Cartoon Graveyard: The Sweet Smell of Failure

I approach this blog with some trepidation, as I lag far beyond my colleagues in such vital areas of pop-culture knowledge as pornography, fonts, and the many varieties of giant fighting robot. I can only claim to be well-versed in comic books and cartoons, and then only those of American origin (note: USA! USA! USA! USA!). And since the last thing the world needs is another guy talking about comics on the Internet, that leaves the cartoon (note: it has come to my attention that the last thing the world needs is, in fact, an army of zombie Hitlers. This seems reasonable). Hence Cartoon Graveyard, the most egregious repurposing of a Paul Simon lyric since Elvis renamed his estate after the popular tune “Graceland,” having abandoned its original name, “Dollywood.” Here I aim to explore the world of animation: the old, the new, and when I’m feeling lazy, the awful.

Guess how I’m feeling today. Want a hint? Two words: Skunk Fu! (sic)

Title	Skunk Fu!
Network	CW / Cartoon Network
Premise	Skunk learns kung fu. No, seriously.

You thought I made this up, didn't you.
