lmao

*golf clap*

:D

i'm dying

I’m the only number 1 for Bojack! That is a surprise. It’s like the best drama series ever. There’s something about giving such flawed and human scripts to cartoon animals that makes its window to society all the more vivid. I am so invested in all of these horrible characters, and their downfalls and redemptions at the hands of a resolutely indifferent world. It’s just wonderful. The experimentation! J.D Salinger! Todd! xp

Bojack is low-key the Greatest Showbiz satire ever, which is also only a fraction of what it does well.

todd is one of my favorite characters of television i will give bojack that

lol perfect

loooool

with bojack, start with s1e7 if you're not convinced, that's where it gets good. s8 is where it gets really good. etc

The episode where Todd is just quietly and chaotically holding everything together for everyone is one of the best.

It's actually good to know that Bojack doesn't start well, as someone who does want to watch it soon.

todd gave me the biggest laugh i've maybe ever experienced watching tv at one point in (iirc) season 3 (or 4) but i won't spoil it. it involves one of his business ideas, which are plentiful, and all amazing

i expected to hate bojack, but gave it a shot after a friend talked me into it and was instantly in love with the writing. much smarter and nuanced than i would have ever expected (tho again: low expectations)

haven't seen a good fake reveal for a while so [applause]

When it started to get really dark and self-loathing, it caught me off guard actually. Even got weepy once or twice.

Just popping in to say that had I voted I would have voted Battle of the Planets #1. When I was 8-10 I wanted to be Jason so bad.

Lotta coulda shouldas in this crowd!!

this kind of reminds me that a) I am glad you're watching Avatar, it is so good! and b) when you go on to Legend of Korra be advised the first season is a little slow but then each season after that gets better.

starting slow is fine and different from starting bad

oh my god

don't know this one

trambopoline

todd reminds me of characters on mission hill, and that was a good show

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to vote for The Simpsons, whether or not to take into account its undead inertia for the last 10+ years, or to somehow pay homage to seasons 3-5 which remain in my eyes as close to tv perfection as you can get. In the end I went a wishy-washy route and voted it at #8.

has anyone made a list of decent simpsons episodes from the last decade or so?

willing to accept it could be a blank list tbh

ah - another Mission Hill voter. i feel slightly better now.

maybe i'll work on that after i finish my guided by voices songs one

sorry buddy, I did not submit a ballot :(

I was too busy out being the grubermeister

Bojack starts fine and jam-packed with visual jokes, it just slowly reveals what its real point is over the first season. Waksberg rly took advantage of knowing they didn't need to keep an audience week-to-week.

tt and imago otm about bojack, voted for it in my top ten

“They say the devil is in the details, so let’s dsummon the devil”

xp to me top 5 actually, placement isn’t bad.

I also think the first half of season 1 is better in hindsight, though there’s a lot of crudeness and mean-spiritedness that’s basically entirely absent from later seasons

Yeah the crudeness put me off when i first watched. Same with Rick and Morty.

I was exactly that same wrt ranking The Simpsons - the peak era is unassailable, but the endless sucky extension sure drags it down

I don't think I'd put Bojack THAT high, but good for Bojack

tt is asking me whether The Simpsons has an apostrophe in it. it is time for bed

the simp'sons

I'm Si'mpson

what i will say about the simpson's is that there's a mid-period season - either 13 or 14 - that's really quite good compared to the few before it. think it was either s11 or s12 that sunk the reputation of pretty much all that followed, somewhat unfairly? idk there's some good mid-period stuff. i didn't vote for it. figured it wouldn't need the help

I do think Simpsons still deserves to win it - we're all voting for an old show, but that old show was exceptional. Personally, I can ignore the fact that its broken body still limps on.
