Copper: I like the setting, but I'll have to give it a couple more viewings until I decide if it gets into the full rotation on my DVR.

I read the description for that and I immediately thought of the comic book loveless. It seems pretty similar from a superficial plot point of view.
That has been a pretty fun show, and not a bad follow from Green Lantern.
Young Justice is the best of the current crop of Super Hero Cartoons that I've been watching.
But how many times in one season can the Avengers be kidnapped and replaced in one season..?
That and some of the costumes in Marvel are pretty cruddy looking. At least when YJ uses a stupid villain, SportsMaster, at least they give him a decent (more modern) uniform. Instead of him running around like "Casey at the Bat"

Yeah, I prefer Young Justice to Avengers... but then again, I prefer Iron Man: Armored Adventures to Avengers. Green Lantern is REALLY formulaic but at least it has a few interesting characters.
Anyone know when/where that new Batman cartoon is supposed to be premiering?

Yeah, I've been watching them again. They're not all gems but holy shit, when that show was on fire, it just shits on everything else. It didn't treat it's audience like morons. Criminals used guns that shot bullets not lasers. People in bars drank. Rich people at parties drank champagne. The crime bosses have drug empires. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Shit that you just don't see, at all, in modern 'kid's' shows.
That Baby-Doll episode. The way that episode ends...holy shit. That is some dark ass material for, again, a 'kid's' show.
I was actually musing with some friends at the bar on Friday about rewatching JLU buttey suggested I give Young Justice a shot.
Yup. It just ruined me for most anything else.

I remember my grandma flipping her lid when there was that one episode where the penguin actually dropped a guy in a whirlpool in the sewer and disregarded his drowning screams of "Excuse meeee...!... I'm expected back at the offiiiiiiiiccceee!..." to go over his plan with his henchmen.
But, of course, the real reason we all adore B:TAS is because it gave us Mark Hamill's version of the Joker.
I just thought it was hella cool that Bruce Wayne drove a Cord.
Squidleybits share your shame!
I might be guilty of watching too many Storage Wars, Pawn Stars etc lately. I might also be guilty of the greater crime of watching Repo Games.
More Hell on Wheels.
You know, only now am I catching on to the theme of this show.
There's more, but basically to me it seems to boil down to something along the lines of "People become that which they hate, given just the freedom to do so"

- The Irish workers claim the Irish are the N-words of Europe. They come to America and immediately start oppressing the recently freed slaves
- Elam is a recently freed slave. Now that he has a job, almost immediately he tries to purchase Eva. Not just her services, but her. He talks to Bohannon about owning himself a woman
- The McGinness brothers tel Lily Bell the English have profitted off the suffering of the Irish for generations, as Lily accuses them of profitting off the suffering of those affected by the Sioux attack
- Lily Bell wants to see her dead husband's work completed, finds herself in bed (figuratively and literally) with the very man who was trying to rip him off
- Bohannan freed his slaves before the war, winds up a walking boss to a crew of black men

Heh, I think the adage you're looking for is "Slaves would be tyrants were the chance theirs." - Victor Hugo
Perfect.
Batman: Brave & the Bold
I just finished watching an episode that featured Sgt. Rock and the Creature Commandos (a military squad made up of classic monsters like Frankenstein and the Wolfman).
And they're fighting evil dinosaurs.
This is the greatest television show of all time.

It's as good as TAS, but for completely different reasons. 
OH MY GOD.
Ambush Bug is trying to stop Bat-Mite from cancelling the show...
...and Batman used a Super Neon Talking Bat-Luge!

I wonder if DC ever made a Bat-luge based on that episode. Bat-luge is what is completely wrong with Batman toys....
I wish TAS could be remade in High-def.

Nick, if you haven't watched the World's Finest episode yet, you need to. I cannot stress how important it is that you watch that episode!
"Battle of the Super-heroes!" Season 3, episode 5
Seen it. 
BATB is awesome for three reasons:
1.) The Chill of the Nite - This is an episode that could have been ripped straight from TAS. That was the entire point.
2.) Blue Beetle - He's getting his own show just because of his response in BATB.
3.) They made Aquaman awesome by turning his hamminess up to 11.

Mm. I'd like to invade her walls.
