I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

Spoiler:
Cheryl tells and shows all of her friends she's got her brother's body and has been carrying it around her house for 4 seasons now. Nobody says shit. It's like, yeah, it's Cheryl. Of course she's still got her brothers corpse and sits it at the dinner table with her Nana. No judgment there, nothing but acceptance.

And the Vixens performing Cherry Bomb....

And I just got that the prep school jerk is named Brett Weston Wallis; a play on Brett Easton Ellis, I'm sure. I wondered why he didn't have an alliterative name like everyone else.

I feel like every season can of this show is like a rundown from Stefon. You get everything. Cholos, puppets doing karate, midgets, schizos, kite enthusiasts, and Blingo, Black Ringo.

This is the most accurate description on this show. Season 1 wasn’t fully there but it was getting there and second season they embraced this philosophy and just ran with it and have yet to turn it off.

I'm still laughing about Charles Chickens. You ever see that name on a board and you can fucking bet it's going to be me.

I don't see how the show could even jump the shark, it's just so crazy. How this is not the number one show in the world is beyond me. Attractive people dressed like sluts doing crazy shit in ridiculous situations. There's really nothing else you could ask for. And what the heck was up with Edgar's spaceship that was hilarious.

I'm watching the season finale. This has been a wild ride and it's not stopping any time soon, at least not with this episode. Fucking Charles Chickens. Cult leaders with space ships. Baxter Boys. Rum. Brett Weston Wallis. Tickling. This show gets 10 stars out of 10 stars. The only thing that would've made this season better is more softcore nudity for the teenage sex scenes.

I am finally working on finishing this season. I am watching the Hedwig episode and I know it’s wrong to compare, but there has never been a show that has ever been able to come close to doing a musical episode even half as good as Once More With Feeling. They all try but never get there.

I am annoyed about the Archie/Betty thing.

You ever watch Bob's Burgers. They often have musical episodes that are good. (The WHOLE thing isn't singing, but rather songs throughout.)

Agreed all around there. It wasn't a very good musical episode. And you know they were going to have to do some kind of Betty/Archie storyline at some point, but yeah. It was lame.

Just... stop. It's a cartoon. You can't compare it to live action. It's not the same. It doesn't work like that.
