Happy 25th Anniversary, Daria!

It's the 25th Anniversary of the Daria animated series which premiered on March 3, 1997 on MTV. The popular show was a spinoff from another popular MTV animated series, Beavis and Butt-Head. Daria is a really funny, witty, interesting and a surprisingly thought-provoking show that centered around the smart, sarcastic, somber and outcast main character high school student Daria Morgendorffer. The show also focused on her family, her best friend and fellow outcast Jane Lane, her school life and the world in general.

I always thought Daria Morgendorffer was the anti-Cher Horowitz. Because where Cher was perky, cool, fashionable and popular, Daria on the other hand was the complete opposite. She was absolutely fine being her cynical and sarcastic self and had no desire to fit in and be one of the popular kids. However, Daria's younger sister Quinn was definitely a Cher wannabe because she was trying her best to be popular, fashionable and cool. Daria feels like a forgotten show, I never see anyone talking about it. I guess I can include myself in that as well because I haven't written anything about it on my blog either. However, I did include it in a list of old TV shows to watch.

If you've never seen this classic series, it's available on DVD and I also believe on several streaming services. So, if you get a chance, check it out. Since I have it on DVD maybe I'll do a re-watch and write more about the show especially since it's a really good series. This show needs more attention and with that said, Happy 25th Anniversary, Daria!

What's something fun you've added to your morning routine?

Good Morning Everyone!

I was wondering what's something fun you've added to your morning routine? I've added watching cartoons while I eat my breakfast. Starting the morning reading or watching the news although informative can be a little depressing especially with so many terrible things happening. Which is why I started watching cartoons.

When I was a kid, I used to love starting my day watching cartoons while I ate my breakfast. Which made me think why not go back to doing that again. Since then it's been a fun way to start my day. I still check the news to see what going on in the world but starting my day with cartoons has been a really good decision.

So, what's something fun you've added to your morning routine?

I'm Watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Bean"

I can't believe How The Grinch Stole Christmas cartoon just went off. This was probably the umpteenth time I've seen it. But how could I not, it's a classic and I couldn't possibly miss it. I could watch the cartoon a million times over but I did not like the live action movie it wasn't that fun to watch.

And now Merry Christmas Mr. Bean is on. This is another classic and one of my favorites as well. Mr. Bean is so annoying but watching his ridiculous antics never fails to make me laugh. And the Christmas special is absolutely hilarious. I've seen this so many times but I still can't get over the horrible gift he got his girlfriend. For one thing, it's simply amazing that he even had a girlfriend to begin with. Second, the gift he gave her was so bad and do you want to know what it was? To begin with, she unwrapped the first gift which turned out to be a cardboard picture but the kicker is he then proceeded to give her a second gift, a ring box. Don't start thinking highly of him because there was no ring in the box. Instead it was a hook, yes a hook, in a ring box. The hook was so she could hang up the cardboard picture. Now tell me that's not a terrible gift.

You add that up to all the other terrible things he does in this special and you will be laughing non-stop. I love watching all these holiday TV shows and movies.

Super Best Friends Forever Short: Time Waits For No Girl

Since I'm taking a reading break for the day, I thought I would post something fun, a Super Best Friends Forever short.

I still don't understand why DC Comics didn't take advantage of how popular the SBFF shorts were and turn it into animated series.

Happy Father's Day!

To be an awesome father, you don't need to have superpowers to be a superdad.

I wish everyone a very Happy Father's Day!

Super Best Friends Forever Short: Solomon Grundy Don't Fight Girls

Oh Solomon Grundy, how could you deny the Super Best Friends Forever a chance to fight crime. No worries the ladies kick butt regardless.

Super Best Friends Forever Short: Invisible Joy Ride

Why wasn't Super Best Friends Forever turned into an animated series as well as a comic book series?

Seriously, how could DC Comics not capitalize on this. I love these shorts, they are the best.

Tales of Metropolis: Jimmy Olsen Short

Poor Clark, he probably never thought Superman was considered such an annoyance for Jimmy.

Tales of Metropolis: Bizarro Short

Poor Lois, having to deal with the annoying Bizarro. Surprisingly, he actually does something good in this short or should I say bad, in his case.

Super Best Friends Forever Short: Grounded

I guess Martha Kent is the toughest one there. Why wasn't the Super Best Friends Forever turned into a series it's just the best thing ever.

Black Lightning Short: Clothes Make the Hero

Black Lightning (Jefferson Pierce) is a great character but since the New 52 he has only been seen in a few issues for DC Universe Presents (which was cancelled) and seen as a possible new recruit for the Justice League (Justice League issue #18). Meanwhile, Thunder (Anissa Pierce) and Lightning (Jennifer Pierce) have not been seen at all.

That's why I think this short would make a really fun and amazing animated series. It would give these characters a chance to get more exposure and get more fans.

Batman 75th Anniversary: Darwyn Cooke's Batman Beyond short

I still love watching Batman Beyond and I absolutely love this short. This is another amazing 75th Anniversary Batman short.

Batman 75th Anniversary: Bruce Timm's Short

I just love these Batman shorts that have been released for the Batman 75th Anniversary. Oh, I think this is really amazing.

Clip of DC Nation's Tales of Metropolis

I might have to start taping Teen Titans Go! on Saturdays instead of Tuesdays since I keep missing all the Tales of Metropolis shorts. I wonder if that's Kevin Conroy voicing Batman?
