Doesn't she also feel that way about Billy, of Billy & Mandy (as well as Grim)?
Exactly. I had the same problem with the dad on Jimmy Neutron, a show that I thankfully no longer have to watch.
They lie and are constantly disrespectful.
I'm trying to think of kid shows that have respectful kids. I guess iCarly because she does respect and like her big brother.
But the lying is pretty much endemic to the genre as narratively the kids need to dissemble to do the things they aren't supposed to do. I think it's related to the Dead Mom syndrome in kid lit. A properly functioning family inhibits too many narrative possibilities.
OTOH, it makes me appreciate The Mighty B! more since it's a show that features girls who aren't interested in boys, are driven by accomplishing new things, have smart likable adult characters (who aren't boring and generic) and is still very funny. Go Amy Poehler!
I know! That was the movie, right?
Oh, is that right? I had literally no idea.

It was also referred to in the pilot, I think.

Yeah, the whole Arizona thing probably doesn't matter to them, I guess. Never mind, oh, any of the other immigration-related foofurrah.

Dinosaur Train! But that's aimed at a much younger demographic. Tween shows pretty much have to have clueless parents and kids getting away with shit, I think.

I think my fave is the black woman with the white belly.

I gotta watch that. Chatty!co-worker keeps talking it up. Plus it has Mod Wolves!
They continue to be full of crap.
Yeah, I don't get these:
Nirvana is on the classic oldies station.
Uh, no they aren't. I mean, date-wise, they COULD be, but no, they aren't.
A purple dinosaur has always supplanted Barney Google and Barney Fife.
1. Who the hell is Barney Google?
2. I think college freshman are more likely to associate the name with Barney from the Simpsons.
Bud Selig has always been the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.
Boo, hiss!

Barney Google and Snuffy Smith, originally Barney Google, is a long-running American comic strip, created June 17, 1919 by Billy DeBeck
The Mod wolves are from the Mighty Boosh which is not a kids show. Also doesn't really have any smart adults...it is pretty awesome though!

Wait, "Mighty B" isn't just hip slang for "Mighty Boosh?"
Why would there be 2 shows with such similar names? Silly teeveeland.
