I thought last night's epsisode was very great, seeing how Hank and his gang beat the Green Day teens at their own game. I thought it was pretty ironic that both Bobby and Joesph had the Chicken Pox. Lately I had heared about a new vaccine that is supposed to treat the spread the virus, possibly wripping it out for years to come. Apperently, the writers must not had time to read the papers enough!

That must be the very difference between this cartoon and others that have come and by, that is that the expressions and emotions that the characters portray are distinctly realistic and not very animated or cartoony in appearance. One of the many interesting details that I was quite shocked to see was that many of the animals on the show are drawn with genitellia. This is quite surprising since most animated cartoons and other arts usually stray away from that use of detail, namely in family-based Disney films and cartoons usig realistic animal characters. Apparently this show is dedicating itself to changing this fact.

Hank: :They give you kids guns and let you shoot at yourselves... Yeah OK!"

What episodes in particular are you referring to here?

All the above garbage (and more that I snipped out) is but one great example why it is not good to use a www browser for email.....

Well, Here are some of the episodes that I've seen this in. I'm not sure if it counts as genitellia but It was just somethng that I thought look odd for a animated sitcom to have, I'm not trying to be some kind of a pervert or something...

4E02 "Square Peg" During Hank's memory of his first encounter with sex, he is watching two cattle about to mate with his father Cotton (looks too old in this flashback).

4E08 "The Shins of The Father" Cotton brought a white stallion (or whatever you call a male horse with his balls still attached).

Last Night's episode (I couldn't find the name yet) During the first bet before the main title appears, Hank and his friend where making fun of how old Pop's was (whatever his name is). He brought his dog along who contribute to his mess in the bag drop outside the band's garage in the end of the episode.

I didn't what to go into much detail since I figure you would've just looked at it anyway with you VCR. But if you compare this to other cartoons of this matter (i.e. The Simpsons, other animated films such as Disney types), you probably be astoundish at the results. It seems funny, but when I was in high school art classes, the issue to drawing genitals on animals never came up, It must 've felt like a taboo subject untill you went to a college art class, I was shocked to think that my freshmen year of a drawing class would've involved drawing a nude women, I mean, she looked like Thelma from Scooby Doo! Maybe I'm pushing it a little too much in this thread. You be glad I never came from Europe and saw this kind of stuff, even in commercials.

Hank " That's what you get for buying a Japanese leaf blower. It's used to blow down banzai bushes and cherry blossoms."

"I don't like music!", "I don't like music!" (higher pitch)

The Hills might not have heared about the Chicken Pox vaccine.
