Is Futudrama spodes 2 be some sort of pun? Observe a good pun:

*After Tentacool (type of pokemon) takes over the only talking Pokemon on earth, Meowth's body and uses him to talk James comments very sarcasticly cuz he obviously hates meowth: "Its a tentacruel world..." *

I could go on and on with the subject of bad puns made by James, but I will only get yelled at and probably will 4 this anyway so : so long Tentacrule world or Alt.Tv.Futurama! I'll be back in November!

Okay, I've heard the word a few times. Then the intro of Norm a couple weeks ago had this weird Pokemon opening to it that I just couldn't understand. What the hell is a Pokemon?

What I've put together: They're a cross between the PowerRangers, Gigapets, and Pogs. They live in little balls which you throw at each other to activate. Then they battle it out, but they have to be trained.

Is this anywhere close?

Pretty much. Pokemon is short for "pocket monster" (no crude comments, please). It is an animated Japanese anime cartoon on the WB TV network. Wizards of the Coast (those fine people who bring you Magic: The Gathering) produces the Pokemon trading card game, which has caused no end of controversy among parents, teachers, and others. Some cards are worth $50 or more due to their rarity and power in the game (Charizard the dragon is a prime example). You have to "pay to play" by buying packs of cards. The gambling aspect comes from the fact that you may get a $50.00 card in $3.00 booster pack, which you can sell for more money to buy more cards, etc....

The cartoon is really cute, and appeals to boys and girls up to pre-teen age.

Actually, since my 5 year old has been into it, I've started to become quite the fan and I'm in my 30's. Its a lot of fun and definately amusing. Way better than the usual crap that passes for children's programming. Unfortunately the marketing is obscene. My son wants me to paint the Honda Pikachu yellow. Where will it end?

Don't forget--

Pokemon made international news a few years ago (before it hit the U.S.) as the cartoon with such rapidly flickering lights that thousands of Japanese views had seizures.

Gotta catch 'em all! ;-)

Theres a guy named Brock on the tv show. I suggest you change your name, Rock.

WHAT THE HELL R U THINKING? Pokemon are pretty much giga pets, only alot cuter, sum anyway....like Growly :) Anyway, what the hey with pogs and power rangers? Ther're little animals like a Growlith is a dog, a Vulpix is a fox, a Caterpie is a caterpillar, ect....Mewtwo and Mew are like cats I guess.....Mew is anyway. Who knows what Mewtwo is.... See??

PS: Team Rocket Rules! Never 4get that. Ash Ketchum SUCKS!!!!! And Misty's a Bitch! Brock is ok....he has no eyes....GO GARY!!!!!! "Gary Gary he's our man if he cant do it no one can!" "Hey Ashie Boy..."

I'm not sure if you can consider the timeslot between the Simpsons and the X-Files as "family friendly."

The Simpsons is the last sitcom that doesn't use sex for every joke (other than Sabrina), is the only show that has a diverse cast, and prperly represents small town life (OK, but it's more funny than realistic, but it's closer than most others). - - - - - Will O'Hargan http://itslikeyouknow.cjb.net "Rule #1: Never buy seafood out of the back of a car."

Huh? You have GOT to pay more attention to The Simpsons. It's chock full of naughty stuff. Do you think Smithers puts up with Monty Burn's crap because he is just a loyal employee? If fact I make it a goal to spot the gay subtext bit in each episode.

example:

M. Burns to Homer, "I want you to love me."

Homer, "Uh, okay, but I'll have to have a beer first."

Now my knowledge is back. That makes me happy

Yes, but there's a lot of difference between the subtle stuff on the Simpsons and anything on the usual sitcom dreck. A line like "hey, how many women did you have sex with last week? Ha! (insert formula insult here)" probably wouldn't pop up on The Simpsons.
