What: Howard's show has many similarities to Warhol's factory. Both featured a cast of regulars as well as many people who appeared at sporadic intervals. Both have a central strong ring master type,Howard vs Andy, who relate to a variety of characters who are generally social outcasts and or freaks. The overall tone is one of acceptance and encouragement.

What: From the linked article....... "Mister Atoz explains that the library contains an archive of historical data disks. Kirk warns Atoz of the planet's imminent destruction and that they must leave immediately. Atoz however, says he is aware of the destruction of his world, and is already prepared. He informs that he will be joining his wife and family soon. He then activates a machine called the "atavachron". By viewing the historic disks, the time portal can send any who enter back in time to the point recorded in the data."

What: The game portrayed in this episode has an addictive quality, much like todays smart phone. I've noticed many people are transfixed by their smart phones; At school, at work and most disturbing while driving. Does the actual game portrayed in Star Trek have a real life counterpart?

What: "It's too bad that, unlike other cartoon protagonists, Homer has always bored me silly. South Park's voracious Cartman is like a character out of a Voltaire play - outsized, with sleazeball stature. Hank Hill of King of the Hill is a befuddled Everyman who is somehow both smaller and larger than life. SpongeBob SquarePants is an eternal optimist of transcendent obliviousness."

What: Yes indeed. The animation styles are similar: simple, flat and colorful. Both cartoons have 4 major characters. Peanuts has Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy. South Park has Eric,Lyle, Kenny and Stan. Both use an entity with a muffled voice that only the characters can understand. The parents voices are muffled in Peanuts and Kenny's voice is muffled in South Park. The big difference is meanness of Eric Cartman and the frequent poo-poo references.

What: I've been watching this show on DVD for the past couple weeks. The first season was pretty good. In the middle of one of the Vampire murders, it struck me. This show has the same theme as Scooby Doo. That is, goofiness in the face of fear. The show is 1 part morality tale and 1 part slasher/horror movie. A more powerful message has never come from a cartoon or a TV show. There is a even a Wikipage about the thematic continuity between the 2 shows. It's nice to learn that many viewers have had the same insight.

What: There is a common theme in these TV shows; the commonality is parental issues. I've recently seen interviews and commentaries by the creators of each show. The Sopranos creator, David Chase, is refreshing open about it. He states in the commentaries in the Season 1 DVDs that Livia Soprano is based on his mother and that his relationship with his mother is poor. In contrast, the Lost creators seem to have Father issues manifested in the show. One key example is John Locke's Father. This is a man who swindled John's kidney from him and later tries to throw him out of a 9th story window. This is only 1 example of MANY from LOST. I listened to the commentaries on the DVDs by the creators and they denied any such issues. I wish they could have been as open about this as David Chase, 'cause is obvious, to even a casual viewer that, someone with Father issues was writing or approving scripts for the show.

What: "Snoopy is like Winnie The Pooh is described The Tao Of Pooh. He's always level-headed and in the moment. I think Shultz wanted to be more like Snoopy and less like Charlie Browne, Lucy, Sally, and Linus. I don't know if the gradual focus on Snoopy meant he was achieving his goal of being more like Snoopy, or if it was a manifestation of that wish, or if it was simply a matter of running out of great ideas."
