You guys, I just got that stupid Demon song out of my head and you just crammed it right back in there. Here’s to 4 more months of me quietly singing “ooh baby ooh-ooh baby” to myself like a lunatic

I can still dance to the entire NKOTB Hangin' Tough Live concert tape and I'm not even ashamed about it.

Do you have notes typed up too? Or do you just come in with some ideas in your head?

Great idea for an episode! New Adventures of He-Man was a great choice. As a kid I didn't quite appreciate the series as much. I was a huge MOTU fan, but my focus was definitely on the Brothers Green. Also I couldn't understand why He-Man was different from the Filmation series. When BCI/Eclipse released the series on DVD I took the time to revisit, viewing with adult eyes I definitely found a new appreciation. The writing was pretty solid and overall they hold up just as well as Filmation. It's a shame that the series didn't go on for a second season. I read once that Jack Olesker, who wrote the majority of the episodes, detailed out plans for another season which would have seen a return to Eternia and would have seen Man-At-Arms turn villain as he had been under some spell. I didn't collect the toys, though I distinctly remember wanting "Disks of Doom" Skeletor, which was his second look in the show, which featured a boxy helmet and mechanical Trap Jaw-like thigh high boots. I did have the light-up He-Man roleplay sword. That thing was fun as hell.
