Just a little market research:

What drove you crazy when you watched Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Was there anything cartoons did that you found especially patronizing, or disappointing, or off-putting back then? Is there anything you'd wish they'd do, that they never did? Were there any cliches that you noticed even back then?

@zebratron2084 ... I was probably supposed to be learning important lessons about friendship and teamwork and asking my parents to buy toys, instead of trying to reverse-engineer fantasy weapon systems. Wasn't I. >.>

@zebratron2084 @001zlnv "I think we all learned a valuable lesson here today." "A Care Bear Stare of five or more bears can can melt steel if focused to a point of half an inch or less, and reflections may be strong enough to flash ignite paper and polyester. Use proper Personal Protective Gear and never gaze directly into the unshielded Stare."

When Tex Hex threatened to turn Judge McBride into a Dingo, a)did you abruptly wonder why you hadn't any female dingomorphs in the series and b)start rooting for furry tf?
