  I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

  Sometimes I wonder if I ought to watch this, given my semi-boosterism of one fellow The Series

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  It was actually way more mythologically accurate than the movie, from the few episodes I saw, although the tone was sillier—although one of the more obscure and important myths (the unchaining of Prometheus) was actually played dead straight for the most part. Good episode.

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  The idea of "Hercules in high school" always made me blanche, but I admit you make it sound kinda interesting.

  Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.

  I generally liked Disney TV shows of that type, what little I saw of it.

  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  I remember The Legend of Tarzan being a suprisingly good extension of the original films

  semi-controversial statement: the TV adaptations of Disney's canon films were more often than not more entertaining than the DTV sequels they churned out around the same time

  True.

  Both 101 and Patch's London Adventure had their merits

  Noted. One of Lars's bits from Patch's London Adventure still enters my head occasionally even now: "Oh, fickle bird of inspiration! To what pastures have you flown?!"

  
  

  I'm primarily talking stuff like The Legend of Tarzan and Aladdin, here. (Also TaleSpin, though that one is more like official Jungle Book fanfic than anything that could be set within the actual film's universe, unlike The Jungle Book 2, which might've made it to theaters but nevertheless was still forgettable enough that it can still qualify for the DTV pile.)

  hell, even now it's still kinda true

  
  

  the Cars Toons with Mater are significantly more enjoyable to watch than Planes, and in certain respects outdo the actual mainline Cars 2

  
  

  (I feel like that's probably the power of brevity at work, though-- Mater's character is generally better suited for shorter comedy bits than carrying an entire narrative)
