Got around to watching KPop Demon Hunters and I can finally say I get it. That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

AFI’s aesthetic evolution is like a fascinating alternative history of fashion.

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes
"network paranoia" has led them to use Q5.
"It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo,
Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as
"generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less
subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael
Reaves.
As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and
"no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the
report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

My baby has napped for 2 hours now, which is the usual length of his morning nap, so now we get to the part of the morning that’s “relax but don’t get too comfortable, the fire alarm can go off any minute now”

PREVIOUSLY ON FRASIER:
Roz set Frasier up on a date with a wine critic from the Seattle Times, and Niles lost control of his burgeoning telekinetic powers, causing his body to expand into a monstrous mass of flesh and organs.

WHICH WINE

ON THIS DATE?
IT'S SO HARD TO IMPRESS A CRITIC. A '59
BORDEAUX? A
'64 BORDEAUX?

AH, OF COURSE.
A '61
BORDEAUX!
FRASIER, YOU SLY DOG!

MEANWHILE, ACROSS TOWN...
FRAAAAS IIIEEEER!
