I was so excited about this one as a kid.

I only needed to try it once... 🤢

 

I don't follow any streamers, but this one was cool.

I loved the song at 16:00

  2. Skyfall

I haven't watched the Simpsons in a while, I liked the background designs while they were running through the city

The album American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004, and is now around 20 years old

Twenty years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

What the song was about:

One of the songs in American Idiot, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", is not entirely related to the album's central narrative.[6][7] The song was inspired by the death of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's father in September 1982.[5] On the day of his father's funeral, Armstrong reportedly ran home, locked himself in his room, and when his mother came to check on him, he told her to wake him up when September ended,[8] and held onto the song title for several years after.[9] In an interview with the Howard Stern Show, Armstrong said that he initially avoided writing a song about his father for years, until he "[had] a breakthrough" and created "Wake Me Up When September Ends" in his honor.[

What the music video was about:

Bayer envisioned the video as a mini-movie,[50] wanting to create something unlike other music videos that he felt were predictable.[49] Bayer brought the idea of an Iraq War-themed video to the band after interviewing soldiers who had signed up to fight after being persuaded by a television advertisement.[51] Bayer also said that he wanted the music video to be more political than the album's other music videos, saying that he "wanted kids to talk about the war," and felt that MTV had not spread awareness of the conflict and its consequences on soldiers.[13] Although it was not the song's original meaning, Armstrong felt it was appropriate.[52] Bayer and his crew spent a month casting actors for the roles and conducted rehearsals, which was uncommon for music videos.

I didn't like that finale.

The characters felt lifeless, like they were all doing a loose parody of themselves. Even the "oh lord" felt like a reference. The one scene which felt genuine was when Bender shot the can opener and took a nap.

At least we have the older seasons to constantly rewatch.

I subscribed to the channel after coming across one of their other covers. Each one is excellent

Unfortunate coincidence, I thought the same

The comments mention "woke", so maybe something along those lines

 

I tend to avoid the network TV / procedural style shows. I gave this one a try because it was made by CBC and set in Greater Vancouver (Surrey). Nothing is ever set here lol

It's decent, and it touches on more complex topics (ex. harm reduction) fairly well. It also doesn't rely on relationship drama (as of episode 4), which I appreciate.

I'd give it an 7.5/10 so far. I assume the low ratings on IMDB are because of some review bombing

Yes that's the one!

The first set was Nancy Drew + Hardy Boys (+ Tom Swift for the professor? I'm not familiar with that one). The other thread has a comment that there was a popular series in Germany by a different name for those stories "The Three Investigators"

The Bender story was encyclopedia brown I believe

 

Probably my favorite this season, so many childhood characters

I listen to a lot, but one song that felt unique was "Love in Portofino". It makes me feel nice

 

Not American, just liked the music

This song came on while I was getting ready this morning

I had to stop for a quick clap clap each time
