I'm not looking it up but I seem to remember the creator or some artist very high up in the Ren and Stimpy food chain got busted for doing stuff with an underage girl.
Well I sure as hell ain't looking it up on any computer of mine.

I looked it up. It was the creator, John K.

From his Wikipedia page:

Sexual abuse allegations
In March 2018, Robyn Byrd and Katie Rice disclosed to BuzzFeed that Kricfalusi sexually harassed and groomed them for sexual abuse while they were underage.[93] Byrd told the website that she was in a sexual relationship with Kricfalusi in 1997 at age 16, and flew to California to live with him when she was 17. Rice said that Kricfalusi had flirted with her and made overt sexual comments towards her starting when she was 14, and sexually harassed her when she turned 18 and began working at his animation studio, Spümcø. Documents Rice and Byrd had saved from those years corroborate their stories, and several people who worked with Kricfalusi referred to his sexual harassment as an open secret in the animation industry. Kricfalusi was also alleged to possess child pornography on his computer. Though the allegations were eventually reported to the police, they could neither arrest nor investigate Kricfalusi because the statute of limitations had passed.[93]

In response, Kricfalusi's lawyer confirmed that "for a brief time, 25 years ago, he had a 16-year-old girlfriend", but denied that Kricfalusi's "avid pursuit" of Rice was sexual harassment or that he had ever possessed child pornography.[93] Kricfalusi released an apology to the women and his fans for his behavior, which he said was motivated by undiagnosed bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as "poor impulse control".[94] Byrd and Rice criticized Kricfalusi's statement as a non-apology and an attempt to deflect the blame.

Having your lawyer publically state this:

Kricfalusi's lawyer confirmed that "for a brief time, 25 years ago, he had a 16-year-old girlfriend"

is not the best look.

The wiki page about the show looks like he had other (less disturbing) issues too.
After the first season, he was pretty much bumped from the show.
He won’t be involved in the reboot, but hopefully Billy West will be.
I‘m still looking forward to it.

The Walt Disney Company lost nearly $5 billion in the last quarter. They can recoup that money if 167,000,000 people pay $29.99 to see Mulan. 他们能做到吗?


Or just release another Marvel movie and hey have their billions.

Reminds me of this

Jerry Seinfeld was at the peak of his success while starring in his iconic TV series, “Seinfeld,” and had his pick of ladies – not that there was anything wrong with that. However, the one who caught his eye in Central Park in 1993 was Shoshanna Lonstein – who was just 17 and a senior at the private Nightingale-Bamford School in Manhattan. Seinfeld, who was 38 at the time, and Lonstein embarked on a five-year relationship during which he openly gushed about his young love, calling her "the most wonderful girl in the world” and addressing the age issue by saying, “Shoshanna is a person, not an age. …We just get along. You can hear the click."

Yeah, it's always weird when a seemingly self-aware and in-control guy goes off the rails. My idol, Dave Letterman, did it too with interns.
The wiki page about the show looks like he had other (less disturbing) issues too.
After the first season, he was pretty much bumped from the show.
Shocking that the creator of Ren & Stimpy would be a creepy guy (not). I heard he left when Nickelodeon insisted on having creative control of the shows.

The Stern parody songs about Seinfeld were great. Back when he wasn't Hollywood Howie trying to fit in with all the A-listers. All this Ellen stuff going on right now makes me sad that she is friends with Howie. If this were the old days that would be a gold mine.

I'm finally getting around to watching Ozark. We're only about 5 episodes in now, but it's not bad.
We started watching it earlier this year. We got maybe 6 or 7 episodes in and we bailed. It just kept getting darker and darker, and the number of characters I cared about was getting too low. The Mrs and I kind-of silently agreed not to continue.

Ironically, that loudmouth Richard Blade has been raving about it lately on First Wave. Just another reason for me to yell STFU at the radio when he's on.

I'm going to watch Avatar again. I only saw it in the theater and I remember not loving the movie but being amazed by the 3D. While I may not love the movie I do like the land in Animal Kingdom so it will be nice to have a refresher before I head there next Wednesday.

I'm also going to finally get around to watching the final season of Homeland sometime soon.

I never checked out Homeland.
I know the plot is sort of derived, and there are some silly bits, but I like Avatar.
The story was good enough, the visuals were great, and the 3d was fantastic.
I don't think I can even forgive them for the Papyrus though.

Well here's the video:



I think the most interesting part is how Tyson is wearing some sort of chain mail to protect him from bites.

To me, this is huge for Peacock (hehe, cock...never gets old).



I really enjoyed the first two seasons and I think it's my favorite currently running sitcom.
