Saturday Morning Tuesdays

The age of the Ampersand is nearly over, but the Time of Cheese has come! Andy took a theme swing and we’d like to punish him for it, but it kinda paid off. We’re also saying farewell to Dogtanian, so you’re THIS close to never hearing that theme again.

We got Cadillacs. We got Dinosaurs. We got Dogtanian. Muskehounds? Three whole ones of ‘em.

Hey folks, Austin here, breaking from the usual tone because I really want to emphasize that the shows we watched this week were some of the most apeshit episodes of television we’ve ever seen, and if you were gonna sit this one out you’re WRONG TO DO THAT Today’s Episode Sponsor: Gutter Crunch™ THIS WEEK'S EPISODES: Neo-Human Casshern Episode 8, "The Roar of the Wild Beast Robot" Mega Man Episode...

As long as Japan has made animation, we’ve had scientists making robots out of boys or making boys out of robots.

Action Man once taught us a three-step approach to any situation, but his churlish simulacra, Max Steel, imparts only one: become best friends with Tony Hawk.
