I love Homestar! It is unquestionably the greatest internet cartoon of all time. There was a period in my life where Homestar was the only thing I looked forward to -- not because I was depressed or anything -- just that for a while Homestar was sooo good that everything else in the world paled in comparison. Oh, I remember those days when Mondays were actually good because there'd be a new Strong Bad email. Then they kinda took a dive for a while. The last email, The Paper (yes, that paper!) is actually pretty amusing and also important for the long-term aspects of the "series". What's interesting about HR is also how they've managed to appeal to a very wide range of ages, Muppets-style. It has plenty of 80s jokes and subtleties that little kids wouldn't get, but they're wrapped in enough slapstick goofiness that they still love it. I have two cousins (6 and 4 years old) who adore this cartoon too.

I think the most interesting thing about Homestar is the success of its business model. t00l alert. And I better not see any shiny graphs about beloved Homestar. It's just not right. Aww... I used to watch these too. Blast from the past OIC! I love TGS. I think my favorite line might be "Oooh a giftcard for fashion! How did you knooooooowww." omg so silly.

Danielle: Please head on over to the prom queen predictions thread and give us your input! Who do you think is behind all that? I really enjoyed that series (despite my initial misgivings), and I hope to catch the Summer Heat installment this August. Stop on by to comment when it starts!

I found this series due to this place and I watched all the episodes over two days.
Now I'm going to be slightly gutted that I'll have to watch one episode a day for the sequel...

I found this series due to this place and I watched all the episodes over two days. Now I'm going to be slightly gutted that I'll have to watch one episode a day for the sequel... Oh my gosh. I know exactly what you mean! I watch so much of my tv online that I usually end up watching several episodes/an entire season very close together so it's rough to move to a schedule. hehe. I have the same issue with my favorite webcomic, "Questionable Content". I read the first couple hundred comics very quickly and caught myself up with the series and now I have to wait for storylines to come to fruition. It sucks. haha. Onto the episode...well, I thought it lame'd up the series a bit for me. Crazy Danica being all Kimberly Shaw on us seems so contrived, though I pretty much suspected her from an early standpoint. I'm also not sure how she could REALLY be connected to everything. Even in the flashbacks it seemed like a stretch to say she was somehow connected to specific things that happened. Oh, and am I the only one that a) hates Danica's fake British accent and b) resents the fact that "good" Danica is British while "evil" Danica has an American accent? haha.
