| 4064 | Things you don't like about this era. | I'm not repulsed by the fascination with the 80's and 90's on the internet (for obvious reasons), but it does feel like (and perhaps it's just me-probably is) that youth today are struggling to find an identity in the annals of pop culture. As for Hollywierd's need to recreate in ruinous fashion some of the great and fun movies of the past, it's nothing new... but it's just getting out of hand now. Music, from say the beginning of the 2000's to now, all sounds the same to me. There's not much in there, for me anyway, to distinguish it as anything more than just "millennial". I think, when it comes to the old days of making certain to set aside time to "be at" the tv for those Saturday Morning Specials, or any of your favorite programs for that matter, we have lost the experience of it being an "event". That is to say, when you sat down to watch those Saturday Morning Cartoons, you knew there were millions of other kids doing the exact same thing, at the exact same time. You felt like you were tuning in to an "event", which you were sharing with others. Nowadays, you can just pop in the DVD or bring it up on Netflix or Hulu, and everybody's doing everything on their own time. There is very little of that feeling of experiencing the "event" that others are experiencing along with you. This is partially what made me want to create the Theater here, so that whatever you're watching there, you are experiencing with others... like an event. With regard to reality shows, I'm done with them. They all seem so contrived and fake now. Unless it's a game show, I just can't stand to watch them. | Vaporman87 | Oct 07, 2013 |  |

| 4062 | Things you don't like about this era. | I think it's the culture they are exposed to. The internet fetishizes the 80s and 90s, because the kids who grew up then are the people who first grew up with internet access as a commodity. On top of that: Hollywood is running the remake train into the ground. what can the kids be expected to think when so many movies are outsourced to the past, and we keep doing superhero origin stories over and over? There is a serious lack of a strong music movement for the past ten years or so. There is a lot of music coming out, but without a nationwide trend featuring many artists and enthusiastic radio support by real DJs, there's not much to connect to. I'm very grateful for my local scene. Youth TV programming production values have plummeted. And what kid would not thrill to the glory days of Saturday morning cartoons? Narrative structures in adult programming, while still prevalent, continue to decline in favor of "reality" genres. Pop culture is diluted now. There is so much of it and the good-to-bad ratio is pretty low. | shakin steak | Oct 07, 2013 | |

| 4060 | A main Simpsons character will be killed off. | Well done. I like the Lardlad Donuts reference. That and the Pan's Labyrinth one. | Mr Magic | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4059 | Halloween Nostalgia & More! | If this special does well, (Of course, we know it will.) there's no limit to where they'll go from there. That and the Pan's Labyrinth reference. | Mr Magic | Oct 07, 2013 | |

I wonder if they'll eventually start making a TV show. | blueluigi | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4056 | A main Simpsons character will be killed off. | The intro to the new Treehouse of Horror. To be honest, I kind of like it. It contains subtle references from the older Treehouse of Horror shorts as well as cameo appearances from the Tracy Ullman Simpsons family and a certain Futurama character at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtgYY7dhTyE | blueluigi | Oct 07, 2013 | |
| 4055 | 2013 MLB Playoffs | The Pirates played great today! The Braves are at Dodger Stadium, and they haven't done so hot at road games during the regular season. :( | Mr Magic | Oct 07, 2013 | |
