makin' us proud: the joke is on Mike Myers

Tom Goes to the Mayor is... an acquired taste. I like it, but I also like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sons of Butcher. Which are about as far from normal and "tasteful" as you can get.

Agreed. Huge fan of ATHF here as well... haven't seen Sons of Butcher, but a whole lotta the Adult Swim stuff hits a sweet spot in this guy, for some twisted reason... Must be a buncha other 30-somethings writing those shows that grew up watching Mel Brooks and ZAZ and SCTV and PBS britcoms

Pretty much bang on. Andy Merrill and I are scarily similar in both taste and weirdness...

Damn, now I wanna watch Sealab again...

Williams Street is the modern equivalent of Looney Tunes.

I fear.

Well, they used to be, their newer stuff really stinks (IMHO). Sort of like WB in the early 90s and then again in the early 2000s.

Dang. I kinda was hinting at that, how back when they had nothing riding on Big Time Success, they could experiment and have fun and make some memorable I.P. that could be mined for years and years... then over time they became a Megacorp Business just like anything good and inventive always does...

So I presume your PVR collection of WS material has plenty of stuff that has been watched-once-ready-to-be-written-over?

Well, I have several DVDs and a lot of SGC2C rips (since they haven't released anything past season 3 because of legal crap).

Funny straight man Jonathan Nail ... nails it.

So back on topic, I finally saw this one with the GF on Thursday.  While it wasn't an Austin Powers flick, it was funny.  We enjoyed the humour and rehashed joke style of the Austin Powers movies.  While not completely original, it was by no means as bad as the critics were saying.

Just my thoughts...
