Annoying? She's downright evil.

I will admit they did tell a really great joke in that episode you linked.

It is one of those episode saving ones because so far I was slightly unimpressed.

The origin story of the pet rock

Looking at more episodes that seems to be the thing

I will be kinda bored for a bit but they always find some point where they start to get good.

I think the "alternate" interpretation is the correct one.


Astronauts they are not.

No, by alternate I mean I fully believe they are astronauts.

If only because Grandmother Charleen said so... and she is basically Charlotte Sr.

I don't many people who wouldn't interpret it the way I did.

Even I sort of am not that excited if it does get revived.

It had an issue with the fact that nothing was ever really achieved after a while and rather then feeling like a long journey it felt more like the same things were happening.

I am reading the Periphery Demographic setting on TVtropes and I never been so insulted by this site.

They keep listing shows that I loved and love even as an adult because they are good... but more then half of these are things like "This show is popular among adults because the characters are super sexy".

Why can't people ESPECIALLY TVtropes understand that one of the reasons why people can like shows aimed at kids is not because they include a lot of sex jokes kids won't understand, though it is more then possible, but because there are a lot of things that both adults and kids can enjoy... OR because of shifts of interest (for example a serious show for a kid can be a parody for an adult).

Good writing and imagination is universal. I absolutely cannot imagine people would pick up a bad kids show because "Wow that person is sexy" (They said this is why Adult males liked Danny Phantom... PS. TVtropes most adults were teenagers once and can actually put themselves in the shoes of someone who went through it)

RAGE!

Rage over... While I do hate that article as a whole... I am kinda glad to hear there is an Adult "Jane and the Dragon" fandom. I actually love that show and I am surprised I wasn't anywhere close to the only one.

Shame it ended so fast... It actually had a story and involved characters being characters and having abilities and talents with depth and all that.

Oh yeah, I agree with you there. Apparently it's impossible to like a show as an adult for reasons other than Parental Bonuses, which is BS. Pop culture references are nice and I'd be lying if said I didn't like some eye candy here and there, but that's never, ever the reason I like a show aimed at kids.

TvTropes just kinda sucks as a whole when it comes to subjective things. Their articles on stuff like "ruined forever" makes me rage. The site is absolutely in love with popularity fallacies, with the general implication being if one's opinion is in the minority that it's "wrong."

I thought most of the entries on the "Ruined Forevar" pages were either sarcastic or simply referring to popular sentiment of the time.
