The episode ends with them bonding over how they discipline their kids, which makes weirdly sense when they arrived at the conclusion after commanding each other to "Go to your room!" in a shouting match. Because King of the Hill is King of the Hill, the treatment was nuanced enough to show prejudices on both sides and absurd enough to show that neither of them mattered. In the episode "Westie Side Story," he and his new Laotian neighbor Kahn first meet and don't get along, largely because of perceived cultural differences (and misunderstandings) regarding the cooking of dog. He has a young son who sometimes cries, a wife who sometimes nags, friends with whom he drinks, people he doesn't particularly like, and prejudices many of us aren't comfortable admitting. In the Simpsons-dominated world of adult cartoons, the thing that sets him apart might be that he's so doggone normal.
#ARTOON CHARACTER PATCH#
In fact, at this very moment, in a pumpkin patch that’s very sincere, Linus Van Pelt can probably be found still waiting for that Greatness, with patience, resolve, and a hope that no one can break. Still, like the Red Sox fan who stuck it out through decades of a Bambino curse, Linus doesn’t stop believing. Linus’s faith in the most questionable mythological holiday figure ever, the Great Pumpkin, scarcely wavers, even when he’s berated by his sister, slapped with Sally Brown lawsuit threats and questioned by Charlie Brown - Charlie Brown, of all people - the round-headed kid Linus has supported through years of missed football kicks and Little Redheaded Girl angst. He’s the friend to Charlie Brown who, above all others, is reliable and true, steadfast through Christmas tree controversies and Thanksgiving meals of popcorn, pretzel sticks, buttered toast, and jelly beans. He’s the rock in horizontal stripes, the kid insecure enough to carry around a security blanket but secure enough not to care if people judge him for it. But perhaps more importantly, Linus believes in himself, his friends, and his dreams. We don’t mean religious faith, although the kid does know his Bible verses, especially when he needs to make a point about the true meaning of Christmas. And who can argue with Mark Hamill getting a post- Star Wars career out of it?
#ARTOON CHARACTER TV#
In that sense, Batman accomplished more for superhero TV in its first season than any other show of the last two decades. And technically, the show's individually scored episodes, gorgeous painted backgrounds and title cards, and even Batman's bloody face in the pilot set it apart from everything else around in the early '90s, meaning every other show had to try to top it. Narratively, its mature psychological themes (see "Dreams in Darkness" or any of the other Emmy-winning episodes) earned it acclaim and made it the gold standard for dark superhero shows. For the first time in a long time, Batman was a bone-breaking bastard on a TV show rife with humor and gravitas in equal parts.
Yeah, it started off as a tie-in to the Burton movies, but it arguably presents a better-rounded version of the character because it ran for over serialized 100 episodes, and it was the first television version of the character that wasn't a rehash of the Adam West formula.
#ARTOON CHARACTER SERIES#
No one but the comic readers knew who Hawkeye was before Joss Whedon's Avengers came out - why should they? Batman: The Animated Series is the exception. Christopher Reeves set the Superman tone for the next three decades. Generally, the widespread cultural understanding of superheroes is determined cinematically.
