Sorry Mike, your image actually isn't coming up on my office computer (sometimes the feds like to block stuff.) So I hadn't seen it. My bad!
Also, to answer your question, Brenda/Dylan. I am already biased and predisposed to like brunettes better than blondes. Also, I feel that Brenda/Dylan were made for each other. Kelly had the market cornered on bimbo-ness. Dylan deserved a classier level of lady.
YOU MADE THE RIGHT DECISION!
Yeah, they seemed to really like Kelly because the show became all about her. I'm pretty sure at one point every male wanted her, turned into a real-life harem.

Weekday toonami gaf has the craziest mood swings. We just went from discussing DBZ to sitcoms haha.

The 90s really liked blondes.
I realize that is a very vague statement and you could argue otherwise all day, but in my perception of pop culture through TV, ads, magazines, etc. growing up during that time, it felt like blondes were being pushed as the ideal woman. Everyone was all about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders or Heather Locklear or Pam Anderson.

You mean they're not the same thing?!

So what do you guys think of the new plot developments in Hyrule Warriors?
Really? I seem to remember people preferred Kelly over Jessie.
Also, Heather Locklear lives near me.
Yup, it's a Team Ninja game, alright.
Never really got into Scrubs but some of the episodes I have seen were pretty good. Same with Malcolm in the Middle, which does great social commentary. I don't think I've seen Undeclared. Sorry. Still, I don't classify these as sitcoms based on my description above.
it actually works well in this thread. thanks bishop.

I was actually thinking of that same thing. Yeah, she definitely was the preferance on SBTB but when I think of just about any other show or ad, the blonde seemed to always be pushed as the fun party girl who is going to give you great sex. She was the popular gal and the prom queen while brunettes generally were the more subtle bookish types. Not necessarily nerds, but they were more about brains.
I was pretty happy when they brought Valerie to be a rival to Kelly.
But I was pretty mad that Brenda left
Well these last few pages have been crazy O_O I agree with the general sentiment though that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air holds up amongst the best of all the classic sitcoms. Super rewatchable. I always wonder if it was a show that could be remade/replicated but then I remember that what's his face (Will's son) doesn't have even an ounce of the swag his father did back in his youth and James Avery is dead and those two were the backbone of that show
@Bass: I'm late on this but whatever, go to Alaska!
@AdventureMike: That avatar? Why? What was the bet exactly?
What you did there.........I see it
I'm certainly more interested now that I was when the game was first announced/revealed. I really just wish the conversation about the game wasn't so dominated by breasts - both the "ZOMG SO HOT" and the "I'm offended and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves" crowds (I'm employing some hyperbole but the general sentiments remain the same). We've all breasts before and they aren't even outside the realm of variation you'd see in a Nintendo or Zelda game. People nee to CHILL

I bet that AoT could hit 2 million viewers within its first 3 episodes. AoT was a very high profile (for Toonami) premiere. It has name recognition from the last year or more and is very popular amongst anime enthusiasts on the internet. Outside of something like a re-airing of DBZ, I thought it might actually make it. So with that confidence I decided to bet my avatar on it. The avatar you see is a collaboration of shameful ToonamiGAFfer's ideas and I made it.
As long as Ragyo is still voiced by Ed Elric in English!

Caribbean Netflix has the first 3 seasons of Fresh Prince, which means i at least have *one* thing to watch.
Then crazy anime fans I guess...
You'd name your pet Soul, not your child.
Like Nick Cage naming his son Kal-El?
People are loons..
I really don't understand the recent trend in naming. Look at the current list of popular names and you'll see that tons of people are weird...and have no idea how to spell.

Soul isnt that bad a name at all, it's not like there aren't a a thousand Aryas, Danearys, Bellas, Targaryens, Starks, Hermiones,Bellatrixes, etc. People like naming their kids after the media they watch and it's certainly not as bad as going with Luffy, Naruto or Goku/Vegeta. People like to talk about made up names, or wrong spellings but they fail to realize *all* names were made up, some used to be wrong spellings decades/centuries ago and are now consider normal, some came from media, books ,folklore, different cultures (and translated with different spellings) , etc of the time (heck most people name their kids from biblical figures) it's not something new or uncommon or weird. Also it bothers me when people judge parents for weird arbitrary reasons while a lot of child abuse, bad parenting, etc are ignored or remain socially acceptable, but that's just me.

So far the only use I have for it now is that Wii U virtual console goodness. It's going to be a while till Smash gets here.
Oddly enough, nothing for any of the next gen consoles interests me. I'm still waiting for a killer app to give me an excuse to buy a PS4.

I posted my NNID here (and fc but everyone was busy with dragon ball z and then the 90s)
Soul seems like an okay semi-exotic name, maybe on the same level as "Harmony" or something like that. It's the pairing of the name with part of the inspiring character 's VA's name that makes it seem a bit off to me.

I almost forgot about that bet. Every time i look at your avatar, I can't help laughing.

This reminds me of that story of a Japanese woman who named her son after Ace from One Piece.
There's probably someone somewhere who unfortunately named their child Naruto.
