In other tv thoughts....
I don't watch a lot of cartoons anymore. Lots of anime, but rarely cartoons. But one cartoon I always enjoy whenever its on and I'm around is "The PowerPuff Girls". Anyone who hasn't seen this by now probably wouldn't understand, but it really is the cleverest, funniest, and possibly most violent cartoon you can watch on the entire Cartoon Network. I love it.
And I just caught the end of the funniest episode I've seen in a while. It was entirely based on the Beatles music, and actually bears a striking resemblance to the Buffy episode "The Yoko Factor", only in reverse.
So the main 4 BigBads of PPG----I dont' remember all their names, just Mojo Jojo (an evil mad scientist monkey with a funny hat bent on, of course, Evil and world destruction) and Him (a flaming gay version of the devil..funny thing to see in a cartoon, really)-- decide to team up and form a "band" to commit crime in Townsville together. They call themselves, of course, "The Beat Alls". ::nudge nudge, wink wink::. Did I mention that every episode of PPG is is entirely chock full of "nudge nudge, wink wink" moments? It's what makes it so fun to watch. Anyway, so Mojo Jojo ends up being in the role of John Lennon. That's not his name or anything, but you can really tell.
They take overeverything in Townsville, and become such a menace... until the girl monkey, named "Moko" joins them. Soon she has them doing all weird things, and the band splits, and it's all a failure. Then, surprise! Moko is actually a zoo monkey whom the PPGs got to infiltrate the evil crime group and ... ta da! Break them up from the inside!
Exactly. Like. The Yohko Factor.
And what really made this episode funny was that the entire script was littered with quotes, so that everyother line of dialogue ended up being a line or name of a Beatles song.
Nearly every PPG episode is like this, only they're all completely different. The cartoon is just that witty. It's always full of stuff like this that no 10-year-old is going to pick up on, but any older sibling or parent is going to get a fit of giggles from.
