Did we ever get a reason for why it stopped?

Don't believe so. Popular theory, as far as I know, is that they weren't getting the right audience (kids). So it was going to go the way of Invader Zim.

Fortunately, I guess that's not the case.

I've only seen two episodes of Gravity Falls and I'm already in love with it.  Very happy to see that it's going to continue.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

I watched the Halloween special of The Venture Bros because it's the only episode/special I haven't seen yet.  It made me really miss new Venture Bros stuff and was quite good.

Season 5 starts in February and although it'll only add up to being like, seven episodes, it's still nice to see new content.

To me it gets a bit worse as it goes along and then gets better.

Their largest issue right now is they arn't sure what to do with Mable. The worst episode IMO, even if it had the funniest joke for me, was the episode centered entirely around Mable that ended with an anti-lesson.

It makes Dipper come across as the real main character and Mable as the distraction. Even if Dipper needs to learn the same lesson several times (Dipper learns to be a man is a common theme).

The second half of season one (Book Two or Book Five) is scheduled for 2013, not sure of the exact date.  So of course, expect it around mid-2014.

Edit: <3 the Charlie Brown Christmas Special

I kinda miss the Charlie Brown and Snoopy show.

Also I am surprised that people like Thundercats more then me >_<. I thought my issues with the series would be more universal but apperantly the show was "Totally awsome" and I didn't know.

I think it is an alright show with FREEKISHLY good animation for a western show and that actually attempts personal storylines.

Thinking of diving into Darkwing Duck. I watched the first two-parter and it was quite good, if a bit low in production quality (but this was the early 90s, so I can't be too hard on it there).

If you like animated shorts you might like some of the list I posted earlier in the thread. If you like bittersweet I especially recommend Sintel.
