Forgot about Sparky. That's how long it's been since I've been keeping up with the show. Not very fond of him at all. Guess I'm just resistant to change rather than having anything against the character. I really enjoyed Spellementary School. I loved how Foop got put in time out for trying to nuke the place lmao. I've gotta try out the news ones with Sparky. Just another long list of things I gotta watch. With SB I gotta be honest. It's probably been 5-8 years since I've seen anything good come from that. There might be a good episode or two more recent than that but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule these days. My main issue with it is they seem to be relying on the shock factor of really gross humor to make for a lack of quality writing. I'm fine with gross stuff as long as there's intelligent writing behind it but for the most part the SB writers don't seem to be doing that. Gross out stuff should complement good writing rather than replace it. But I totally agree about shows running out of ideas once a certain point is reached. With a show like Avatar it's pretty obvious when to end it. With other shows a judgement call needs to be made as to whether there's enough ideas to keep the show going. Either way there needs to be some way of deciding when a show needs to end or it gets dragged out to the point of mediocrity. The whole Grandpa taking the 6th graders out has a much more disturbing dimension that most of us never caught as kids. Think about it. An 81 year old man going out with 12 year olds o_O
