(What's been running in the background, in my brain-roof-chatter index: A follow-up to this post: A Random-ish sci-fi question that came to me, today -- the GeekErotica edition; the erotic parts and the sociological parts, and the evolutionary biology parts, and random tangeants, are all tangled up, at the mo', and I think, if I tried to write it as I'm thinking it, it would come out as bizarre gobblety-gook).
So In the Meantime:
Here's a show I wish to cultivate a fandom for. There probably is a fandom for it, already. But I want this fandom on my f'list and dwircle, so I can quote it, and make inside jokes about it, and people reading me will get it. That's what a fandom is for, anyway, right -- first and foremost?
Peep and the Big, Wide, World Yes, this is a cartoon written for kids aged three to six years (to introduce them to scientific thinking and exploration). But its dialog is snarky and funny (I actually laugh when I watch it), and no other show on TV today does better eyerolls and facepalms (the fact that it's a kids' show with eyerolls and facepalms in response to teh foolish should tell you a lot). Also, the vids on their site are all closed-captioned, and have Spanish versions).
Three of my favorite episodes on YouTube -- each about 10 minutes:
That's a cat Peep's first day out of the egg. (includes the live action epilogue with neighborhood children -- and cats)
The Winter of Quack's Discontent
Star Light, Star Bright The complications of staritis.
