Forced catchphrase usage aside, the 1989 Zelda cartoon was better than people give it credit for, especially for the time. A shame it was so tied to the Fridays of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, and thus only having 13 episodes, because it really could have stood on its own.

The fuck does the Blackpool Combat Club have to do with this?

This is good to know for personal reasons...I will not elaborate further.

3rd Rock From The Sun had no right to be as good as it was.

Until that finale. That stupid, stupid finale.

That's not the whole story.

They were cancelled because everyone who was watching The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres was old.

Advertisers want to cater to the 18-49 age bracket, because that's who they say buys stuff. Apparently people 50+ are far less likely to be swayed by commercial advertising.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. But that's the reasoning they used. I still wonder how The Waltons not only survived it, but ran for an entire decade.

This is also why Freakazoid was cancelled in 1997. It was pitched as being a hit with ages 2-10, but it became a smash among 18-34...and since that wasn't the demographic they wanted, then total viewers didn't matter--it got the axe.

At least we got that incredible final scene out of it.

I think the last sitcom I really liked was Everybody Loves Raymond, and even that was pretty close to New York City, since the title character is a sportswriter for Newsday, a Long Island newspaper.

Frasier holds up incredibly well despite being based in Seattle, too. And the first two episodes of the revival were surprisingly funny, but as much as I love Kelsey Grammer, I don't expect that to last.

Protestant here. I agree the "form follows function" view has resulted in extremely bland church interiors, including my own.

I admit it--Catholic and Orthodox church buildings have vastly more beautiful aesthetics. I respect that.

You sound like that "97% of men are homosexual" troll that used to be all over Yahoo's comment section.

It's partly because he owned the team in the early 1990s, and is also part of the reason they didn't move to Tampa, who themselves got a team in 1998.

I don't like it either, and I know he'll get his. But I had to give full context.

This guy wants you to eat 36 raw eggs a day, every day, because Vince Gironda claimed he did.

I almost died of food poisoning earlier this year.

Fun fact: they have investors because once the data they have accumulated is worth enough money, the company gets sold to the highest bidder and that's how those investors get their profit. This is standard practice. Stop being so naive, people.

Use IRC.

I read some of those lines in a Bathroom Reader years ago.

"Quiet or I'll blow your throat up."

I always try to use this as a shut-up line, and I always fail to keep a straight face in doing so.

Because His birthday and resurrection have to be celebrated at some day.

Inertia is a powerful force. Too much momentum to change them now.

The planets are named for Greco-Roman gods and the days of the week are named for Norse gods (Tiw's Day, Woden's Day, Thor's Day, Frig's Day) and for some reason Saturn. We don't care.

TL;DR: Because all things adapt for the benefit of Christ and His Church.

If you like American football, but hate the NFL, I highly recommend Retro Bowl on phones and Switch. I prefer the latter, which is only five bucks, plus you can use a controller. No NFL license, so they don't get a penny, but it has fully customizable team names and colors.

I have found absolutely nothing woke within them or regarding the developers.

They just released Retro Bowl College last month, with no NCAA license. It's not yet at version 1.0, but it IS available for phones right now. Hopefully a Switch version comes soon. Also fully customizable as above, with about 250 teams!

Biden looks like Professor Coldheart from Care Bears here.

And if you've ever seen The Land Without Feelings, you know how appropriate that is.

Fuck that.

The least tolerant faction wins.

The left operates by "no bad tactics, only bad targets."

And they win.

Do you want to win?

Patrick Stewart has alopecia.

There are degrees of it.

In high school, I had a female classmate with total alopecia--she didn't even have eyelashes.

He tried to have sex with his own mother.

"He wasn't convicted of a damn thing!"

You mean like Vic Mignogna?

The Brave Little Toaster holds up incredibly well, by the way. It's just as great today as when I first saw it when I was ten.

If Genndy Tartakovsky started in animation today, his ideas would be laughed out of the room.

"The value of silence?"

"Show, don't tell?"

"Let the visuals tell the story, you don't need music playing over everything?"

BEGONE, HEATHEN!

Same with video games, sadly.
