Heretics! The lot of you! _Home Movies_ doesn’t even have squiggle vision anymore! That fact alone precludes it from being better than _Dr. Katz_. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to sit in the corner with my fingers in my ears singing _Mary Had a Little Lamb_ at the top of my voice. ---

Long time Home Movies fan here. How much of a fan? So much that I came damn close to accepting a job there as an animator. Unfortunately, Id have to take a 50% pay cut and work in a really sterile environment. Got a tour of their studio- the animation is done in a fairly depressing studio, closely resembling a church basement. The artists work side by side on folding-leg card tables. Coming from a job where we have our own little cubicles which we’re encouraged to decorate in whatever outrageous means we want, this seemed like a bit of a bummer. Understandable, considering their shoe-string budget, but a bummer nevertheless. Still, I love what they do. And I love the voice talent most of all. H. Jon Benjamin and Brendon Small are brilliant. I did get a preview of the “Don’t put marbles up your nose” song about a year before it aired, so the interview was worth it, if only for that. Oh, and Siegfried- Puala Poundstone used to voice Bendon’s mom, but was replaced around the same time as all her legal troubles. I don’t know if it was her decision or not to leave. ---

Oh dear God, they’re playing InuYasha four nights a week. Jaime will be so relieved… ---

But they’re getting rid of Outlaw Star and Yu Yu Hakusho completely, the two shows I try never to miss… ---

Wait, I don’t watch the cartoons. Maybe the show he really likes is Yu Yu Hakusho… ---
