SteveJRogers Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 While yeah the bulk of it makes BTAS' The Terrible Trio look like The Dark Knight, but it really is the first "Universe" so to speak for comic cartoons (Oh, Filmation had DC and Marvel before, but I don't think there were any crossovers with any of the segments). It still is quite beloved for those who grew up on 70s and 80s cartoons, so as much as Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly are your Bats and Supes, this is their version of Bats and Supes. And the stories did get somewhat better towards the end of the the long run of the series. Yes I am talking about Hanna-Barbera's THE SUPERFRIENDS! Ehhh, it might be worth it, for the MST3K aspect for most of it. The episodes wouldn't be that long to produce! Though if people complain now about how long the emails/personal discussion are now, imagine how they will when those segments lasts longer than ALL the episode commentary and scores segments combined! Also, and granted this kicked in towards the end, it pretty much led to the classic Super Powers line of action figures, that pretty much brought DC into the Action Figure universe (no offense to Mego, Classic GI Joe, and Action Jackson fans, but in terms of what action figures are today was built on Star Wars, Secret Wars, GI Joe vs. Cobra, Super Powers, etc). So, despite the sheer crap, it kind of holds up as a historical piece of comic book, and animated history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantePD Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'd love to listen to an episode by episode of a long form sci-fi/fantasy series. Something like Buffy/Angel, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, or the utterly fucking amazing Disney series, Gargoyles.

Missy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I would love to do a Deep Space Nine podcast! That show kicks all kinds of ass! But I'm stretched thin as it is right now. Maybe after WFP comes to a close I'll think about that one. Speaking of that, James and I have spoken about doing something post-WFP, but it's too far off to nail anything down.

KnightWing Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 My vote goes to Avatar: The Last Airbender. With its deep serialized storyline, great humor, and amazing animation, it feels like a kung-fu Star Wars, and is probably the best (non-DCAU) animated series of this decade.

wesrk Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 they should take a rest after WFP ends, and then come back with something unrelated to the DCAU or any other comic animation. What that is, I don't know, but they have to come back. They have a good chemistry and are good reviewers. We're still like 2 years away from that though, so, plenty of time for them to come up with something that they both like and that is reasonable to produce.

slothian Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I warn you now that I will be stealing these ideas as FYEO ends in about a year's time, whereas there's still another 2 years of in continuity WFP coverage (y'know, Static, Justice League, Teen Titans...).

Kscriv Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Trust me I want to do Gargoyles and Avatar myself...in fact at one point there was an Avatar podcast being prepped by me and someone else...but it fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Star Wars Podcast, reviewing all film and TV in the order it was released. Star Wars Holiday Special baby!The problem with that is that it would really only be six podcast episodes for the movies and maybe two for the Tartakovsky Clone Wars series. The Ewok and Droids TV series aren't even worth watching. Another big problem is that TheForce.net already does a podcast for each and every one of the episodes of the new Clone Wars TV series (that's 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours of podcasting dedicated to each episode). And seriously, no one should ever have to watch The Holiday Special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've been thinking about a show that each week looks at a different franchise and good ways to be introduced to them. Pilot episodes, overview of the universe, subsequent materials, important events etc. It would basically cover any franchise that is big enough to extend beyond one medium (ie must be at least two of TV, Comics, Film, Radio, Books, etc). It could cover huge ground by picking a particular franchise each week. Original series trek, modern Battlestar Galactica, Hitchhiker's Guide, Buffy, Robocop, Alias, Firefly, all these rich universes with a wealth of material to explore. That show could go forever, and I think it covers the only part of Earth-2 I sometimes feel is sometimes under-represented, TV reviews. This sort of wide reaching concept has the ability to constantly draw in new fans by covering shows they already know and love, and then if they like the content they stick around to see what new stuff gets reviewed. The problem with only looking at one show is that its a very niche audience. Film review shows do much better by covering a lot of new material each week, and people can put up with the odd show they don't want because the content will be different yet again next time around. Of course I'm an ideas man, my thoughts exceed my motivation, not to mention my abilities. edit: This would also cover stuff like League of Gentlemen, South Park, The Mighty Boosh, etc. Anything that could be described as niche viewing I suppose.

batcavejanitor Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 As much as I love comics/superheros my suggestion is out of that genre. Arrested Development If you don't know the show than your life is unfulfilled. Stop what your doing right now, go to a store, buy all 3 seasons, and prepare to be blown away. The podcast wouldn't take super long either, there's only 52 or 53 episodes. "Yooou want me to be explicit?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 As funny as I find Arrested Development, I don't see an E2 podcast dedicated to it in the future. However, you did give me an idea! </tease> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcavejanitor Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I just think it would be HILARIOUS to hear you and James talk about some of the AD charecters. Tobias especially. All of them though, their isn't a bad character or episode. And that tease is killing me, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Robinson Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I like Stavros’ idea. I’ve really enjoyed reading Dan’s A Casual TV Fan's Guide, so something with a similar purpose in podcast form would be great. That’s sounds like a loooooot of legwork for each podcast though.

I’ve really enjoyed reading Dan’s A Casual TV Fan's Guide, so something with a similar purpose in podcast form would be great. That’s sounds like a loooooot of legwork for each podcast though. All you really need is for one of the hosts to have a good working knowledge of the subject. Each show one of the hosts picks a subject and attempts to introduce new fans to it. The material to review would only be one or two episodes or a film, just something to serve as an intro. The biggest task I could think would be involved would be watching the Battlestar Galactica miniseries. Yes you'd need to makes some notes and think of some talking points but the task wouldbn't be an exhaustive discussion of the show. I reckon it could fill an hour every couple of weeks.
