pinky, the brain, and no one else!
written by geoffrey on 08/22/06

This is a very funny bit, but little did we know there were severe consequences for our laughter.  We were fools, young and crazy, happily enjoying a new take on a modern classic.  However, there’s a thin line about to be crossed, and that line-crosser was:

“it’s what the network wants / why bother to complain?”

why bother?  WHY BOTHER?!  because there were children out there, like me, who saw that abomination, and wondered why they changed the formula for a show I already loved!  but no one ‘bothered to complain.’  writers, producers — in regards to pinky and elmyra and the brain, they should all be listed in the credits as “gutless cowards.”  don’t you people feel ashamed?  very ashamed?  …  SHAME!

i guess we weren’t the only fools out there.  no, i guess we were not.

    Oh a whole generation cries with you man! One of the worst network choices in my time. Of course, to me they all pale to the cancelation of John Doe. :(
