AU: I haven't really been paying attention to the second season thus far (if for no other reason than watching the latest episodes on YouTube just feels wrong somehow), but the scuttlebutt is that some of the episodes have some really bad character derailment in them. Something like that happened with Animaniacs; while the Warner siblings were never the deepest characters, they also ended up going from goofy, multi-layered humor in the first and third seasons...to Saturday Night Live-esque shallow parodies in the fourth. About the only thing they didn't do, thankfully, was start repeating catchphrases ad nauseam.

The fifth was a tiny (and I mean tiny) step back in the right direction, but by then, the damage had been done, they very nearly had enough episodes for a 5-day strip, and on top of all that...The WB wanted room on the schedule for Pokémon.
That last point was a major gripe amongst the Fan Dumb back in 1998. My then-girlfriend even cried over it.
This article used to be a lot longer, with an extensive characters section, a breakdown of every episode, speculation as to why it was cancelled, and far too many links to fan sites.

...Continuing to like MLP:FIM while AU doesn't feels weird.
AU: I saw a few episodes, and it was decent (it had the same feel as most of Tom Ruegger's other projects, though not as goofy), but it also had a few extremely dedicated fans who insisted the show was better than it was and hadn't been given much of a chance.
While I admit that WB didn't really do much with it, I also figure that the premise itself wasn't strong enough to really make it out of the first season. Pound Puppies (the 1986 series) had a similar one, and they ended up completely retooling it for its second season.
When people post their work on the internet for all to see, and you don't like it, what exactly should you do if you don't know the person that well?
My gut instinct would tell me "nothing", but I feel compelled to say something, but I also don't want to do so in a dickish way because I try to avoid the whole BROOTALLY HONEST thing. As it's annoying.
Let's see if I can go to sleep instead of keeping myself up worrying about stupid stuff. I've had a good record lately, but I just kinda ripped open the stitches of some bad juju. Which might be for the best, keeping that particular thing locked away was starting to suck.

It's Sunday morning already. This is mildly depressing.

CA: Oh wow, I remember the Kroger at University Mall in Blacksburg looking like that, too. I used to take the bus over there late at night to get canned pasta (during the time when I'd just kind of given up on classes and became a hermit).
Also, Martinsville? That store probably got eaten alive, sales-wise, by Food Lion.

I like the thought that there are chain stores I've never seen. It's like there's always more to discover...
It kind of weirds me out how often we talk about chain stores here.
It's not a bad thing, it's just....rather strange, when you think about it.
It's one of the site admin's biggest obsessions. Just sayin'.

(At least I'm assuming that's the same store--it was the next photo in the guy's photostream, and how many Krogers can there be in Dunbar, WV, you know?)

I haven't even watched the first three volumes all the way through; I keep wanting them to release the fourth but it sounds stupid.
And kinda lonely, somehow.
The show ran for seven episodes.
he quit the Trash Heap?
I dunno. I don't talk to the guy.
*shrug*
Don't know why, don't much care, to be honest. He wasn't really here very often anyway.
WHY?!

Beh.
I suppose I should say nothing. I guess my problems are more with that kind of media itself than this particular thing.
I'm going to stop being vague now and shut up about it.

True. But if that were the case everywhere TVTropes would be about....

actually, I have no idea what Fast Eddie likes and doesn't like.
Coffee?
Seriously chill. -w-
^ Boats.
This sign is so hilariously bad I kinda want to see the store that goes with it.
The Kroger nearest the house had this design when we moved here in 1999, nowadays it looks like this.
