adventure time's weirdness just doesn't click for me, feels too mannered.

there's a lot of gold in adventure time even still. the show hit a mature stride in S2 & S3, you should def give it another shot, H4A. some of the best are the non-finn eps, like "thank you", which is funny and heartbreaking and possessed of intrinsic goodness: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=224753127596024

also I'm not a regular show hater, it's entertaining. but post-college was a long time ago for me. plus the art & design in adventure time are kind of incredible.

i think adventure time is starting to get back to its old groove! the last few episodes have been less back-story, more fun odd adventures.

I don't get the "backstory eps are bad" line of thinking, the ones with ice king & marceline are great

Because the core concept of the show began with a light-hearted silly/absurd feel and to suddenly try to deepen the characters (or in your example just straight drama) it really doesn't work against that original format at all like parmesan cheese on chinese food. The elements are too much at odds. Plus the evidence of the apocalypse peppered in the background of set pieces is way funnier than addressing it.

Miami Connection is next-level.

I feel like one of the great things about adventure time is the way it addresses topics that kids will actually have to deal with but never hear about in most kid's programming - e.g. dealing with a mentally ill relative/friend, or a grandparent with dementia who isn't the person you remember. I hope they leave some of the details of the past mysterious, but I think in general the focus on serious issues has improved the show.
I felt like some of the episodes this season (like Puhoy, which I loved) did get a little far from something that kids would relate to, and seemed aimed more towards their adult audience.
― JoeStork, Thursday, 20 June 2013 23:33 (ten years ago) link
Hmm but are you saying it is their intent? Because there is an episode that basically teaches that non-violence is an ineffective way to deal with bad people. Which I know they're being jokey about yet if they're aiming to expose kids to topics in life I think that one would be lost on them.

Someone I Touched -- mid 70s TV movie starring Cloris Leachman, cautionary tale about syphilis and infidelity. it is AMAZING.

From that list, I am also looking forward to FORBIDDEN LOVE (1982), with Yvette Mimieux
― free your spirit pig (La Lechera), Monday, 24 June 2013 18:52 (ten years ago) link
Passion defies time and taboo in this May-December tale of twentysomething Dr. Casey Wagner (Andrew Stevens) and middle-aged sophisticate Joanna Bittan (Yvette Mimieux), a director at Wagner's hospital who wins his heart but stands to lose far more. With the physician's family up in arms, Bittan's grown daughters crying foul and the professional standings of both at risk, the star-crossed pair soon reach a fateful fork in the road.
I wonder what happens at the fork in the road?! I hope it's something ridiculous and tragic!
