We had to wait a year (period of mourning for Christopher Reeve) to see this episode. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms\_of\_Endearment\_(Drawn\_Together\_episode)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terms_of_Endearment_%28Drawn_Together_episode%29) – spoilers.) So whaddaya think? ---

Foxxy doesn’t really have a tail! There was no sign of it in her shower scene with Princess Clara. I’d been wondering if that was just a costume part. Didn’t see the whole thing - did Wooldoor give Captain Hero a clum baby to cure him, or what? ---

I was disappointed, I think because the 2nd season episodes have been funnier than most if not all season 2 eps. ---

Well, this one was in the can “for a year” (presumably made right before Christopher Reeve’s death), so it’s really from Season One. That would explain why no clum baby, either. ---

He went too far back, however, and ended up at the big bang. But it then cut back to the “Drawn Together” house, so we assumed he waited the few biollion years. But the he said something to the effect of messing with evolution caused weird things, and Foxy and Clara walked in and they were made out of boobs.

Is it true that Captain Hero was originally supposed to loose his powers by falling off a horse instead of going to the Pillowfort of Isolation? Oh and M_ckey Mouse was fucking hilarious! Mickey M_use as a Hitlerian supervillian, yeah. ---

> [@alphaboi867](#): > > Is it true that Captain Hero was originally supposed to loose his powers by falling off a horse instead of going to the Pillowfort of Isolation? According to one of the writers (on another message board), yes. But the network’s censors wouldn’t allow them to show it. They tried to sneak a horse noise into the Pillowfort of Isolation scene, but the censors nixed that, too (although they did put one on the production company logo at the end.) I thought this was pretty clever, especially the idea of all the racial stereotypes being erased, and M\*\*\*\*\* M\*\*\*\* as the one in charge. Good stuff. “Mah feets! Dey failin’ me now!” ---

Is it wrong that I want to bang Foxxy all night long and most of the next day? And if the Princess wants to join it I might go for 2 days straight? Yea, yea, I thought so. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > actually, Xander and Walldoor came in completely made of boobs, too (didn’t they?) Xandir did. Was this the “bonus ep” that people were saying was going to be on the S1 DVD set? Given that it’s the old Warner Bros cartoons that are most notoriously redacted for PC reasons, does having M(beep) M(beep) as the arbiter of PC really make sense? ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Xandir did. > > Given that it’s the old Warner Bros cartoons that are most notoriously redacted for PC reasons, does having M(beep) M(beep) as the arbiter of PC really make sense? Well, there is “Song of the South” and “Der Fuerher’s Face.” Mickey Mouse is a better choice, anyway; from behind, his appearance leaves no doubt about his identity and is very iconic. Bugs Bunny less so. ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > My favorite line: > > PRINCESS CLARA: [_gasp_] You mean Foxxy’s a crude racist stereotype?! . . . Wait . . . What was she before? Drawn Together is really weird, in that they’ll have intelligent, hilarious lines like the ones cited above, and bits that are also intelligent and hilarious, but much of the show seems to be squarely aimed at 14-year-old boys of limited intelligence and taste. ---

Like most, I felt this episode was weak compared to the rest of Season 2. They really have hit their stride. I kind of had difficulty laughing at the Reeve material (except the around the world bit), but I LOVED Spanky’s reactions to the jailed stereotypes. “That’s not funny. Those people got a raw deal!” FYI- Every episode of Drawn Together is now available on iTunes. Uncensored! ---

> [@Otto](#): > > Given that it’s the old Warner Bros cartoons that are most notoriously redacted for PC reasons, does having M(beep) M(beep) as the arbiter of PC really make sense? Well, one Mouse-related censorship deal that comes to mind is **Fantasia**. The version that has been released on DVD is not the “original uncut theatrical presentation”, as it claims. During the “pastoral symphony”, the portion that features mythological beings such as pegasi and centaurs, there were originally several zebra-bodied centaurs with “pickaninny” features. Disney, in their infinite wisdom, has excised them and pretends they never happened. You can see a picture and some videos of these centaurs [here](http://images.google.com/url?q=http://www.widescreen.org/commentaries/2001_04_apr.shtml). ---

> [@](#): > > …Other than the “tarbaby” segment in Song of the South, there’s little in either of those films that is honestly off Actually, the “tarbaby” segment isn’t offensive at all (unless you assume that because the tarbaby is made of black tar it must represent a black person, something I never did, even as a kid). It’s the way race relations are depicted in the film that sets people off – the black folks are depicted as all happy and singing, and just delighted to be doing the lifting and carrying for the white folks, who live in much nicer houses. No matter how you explain it, it’s uncomfortably close to the old Myth of the South as a nation with blacks who’d prefer to live that way. So you can’t get **Song of the South** in the US on VHS or DVD, even though it’s available overseas. ---

That centaur “assistant” looks lust like the way the animators drew Foxxy after she became stereotypical (well…1930s-1960s stereotypical, she already was 1970s-2006 stereotypical. 😛 ) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drawn-together-1-25-06/341717.md?page=2)
