Bob usually makes pretty good episodes that at least bring up some interesting points. This was the dumbest fucking episode of all time.

But he actually said something about those two shows. He didn't dedicate a whole episode of The Big Picture to either show but at 0:25 in The Simpsons is still funny, part 2 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/5166-The-Simpsons-Is-Still-Funny-Part-2] he says "...offering up for discussion whether Friendship is Magic or Adventure Time is a better show" to which he posts on the next frame "The answer is Adventure Time."MB202 said:
Knowing Bob, he probably watched both the shows (at least the episodes that aired up is the that time) and then said that on account of the creed that no thing can be truly judged or criticized without actually having any knowledge of the subject (i.e. watching at least a few of the episodes for both FiM and AT)... That or he was just trolling us at the moment. =(
Of coarse this is assuming that Bob is the one who produces ALL of the slides (and inserted videos) and it wasn't just one the other producers (I'm looking at you Susan) who wrote it. ?_?
Hope I didn't confuse you (or anyone here) more than what we started it out with... xD
Bob I have a suggestion, why not have a guest who has more insight on something you don't know fill every once in awhile. You'll get a little break and at the same time learn something new
I don't understand how you can have NO opinion on music. It's not like you need to know advanced extreme ultra music theory just to comment on the darn medium. You're not trying to compose something you're just stating your opinion on it in general and the different movements. From classical to jazz to WUB WUB WUB WUB. Music is music.
It's too bad you don't know about manga. Most people only like either manga or US comics, and down here in Internetville they'll freely shit on the one they don't like and its fans. Bob seems to be a balanced guy and he really loves comics, so I'd love to see a fair comparison of the two media by him.
Sorry, your friend is a dick for not giving an unambiguous answer the second time (such as, "The name of that song is I Don't Know".Falseprophet said:
I think Bob's issue is that, while he could do an episode called "Bob's favorite Band" it wouldn't be particularly informative or insightful - it would just be some info on a band Bob happens to like. Therefore, as it holds no wider interest beyond people being curious about what Bob likes (and as he has no wider understanding of the Music Industry or music composition) it wouldn't be a very good episode.Frankfurter4444 said:
On the other hand, Bob knows a LOT about the movie industry because, well, he works in it. He also follows the comic book industry closely. In the case of, say, the Spiderman episodes, he doesn't just talk about the plots - he talks about the industry moves that caused the plots to happen. From what he said, Bob feels that he doesn't have enough 'behind the scenes' knowledge to talk about the music industry.
I can say much the same thing. While I probably could talk with authority about many aspects of anime, manga, and Doctor Who - and the industries and studio politics and policies that created various trends and interesting plot turns therein, I certainly couldn't speak with authority on... well, movies or American comic books. Nor could I speak about the music industry, even though I love to listen to music. And, while I could talk about, say, Sailor Moon, I couldn't talk about Pokemon, having had little-no interest in it. I know some of the history and background, but I never watched the show so said knowledge is all very academic.
I... don't quite remember what my point was. Um....
Thanks for being honest, Bob, guess you can't know about everything... Oh, and if anyone's looking for Power Rangers or Doctor Who rundowns, I suggest looking at http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/hopr for the former (like Bob mentioned previously) and http://blip.tv/sf-debris-opinionated-reviews#!page=1 for the latter. Just thought I'd throw it out there for all my fellow geeks and nerds. ^_^
In fairness to Bob when he talks about comics he's not too shabby, though probably because that it easier to research and I like some of the stuff he does about cinema, he does simplify things a bit too much but meh. When he steps beyond that into politics or society.....SpiderJerusalem said:
Thanks for breaking my kneecap within the first thirty seconds, then coming back for round 2 right at the tail end of that one.
