The Worst Kind Of Scheduling Conflict [Obama Address preempts Charlie Brown Christmas]
Morning Call ^ | November 30, 2009 | John L. Micek.

Posted on 12/01/2009 7:23:23 AM PST by PapaBear3625

President Barack Obama ... ... is slated to deliver a prime-time address on Tuesday night in which he'll lay out his plans for the American war in Afghanistan.

The address before the United States Military Academy at West Point on Tuesday night will not only be used to announce the immediate order to deploy roughly 30,000 more troops, but the administration will also use the occasion to convey how it intends to turn the fight over to the Kabul government, the New York Times reported.

But the administration may also face an unforeseen enemy as it lays out its long-awaited plans. And they are loud and they are legion: We're talking about preschoolers and their parents.

That's because ABC-TV was scheduled to present its annual screening of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. And we don't know about you, but that show is pretty sacrosanct around our house and not to be trifled with lightly.

A call to the White House may be in order here. We hear it's pretty easy to get through these days ...

I don’t know why the alphabet networks don’t just be done with it and have an Obama hour every week. The Barack Obama Variety Show.... with special guest Marxists and other deluded leftists every week. Fortunately I work in the evening and I rarely watch the alphabets when I am home evenings.

I vote for between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.

He would fit right in between the Sham-woW! and the Chia Obama infomercials...

No they won’t do it to the others because it is only the Christian religion that is a danger to them and their extreme liberal agenda.

“Given the exchanges here, you might just like it (and JQ makes several cameos over the course of the series).”

Yes, that show was covered in an extensive Jonny Quest documentary I have.

It did look pretty good...by today’s standards.

But it lacked the gorgeous artwork, fabulous gadgetry and tech, magnificent driving musical score, and wonderful, unapologetic violence of the great JQ.

Of course! Drive South until you hit I-40 and then turn left.

I agree. My reference point was different versions of Christianity. Your point is well taken though.

Wasn’t there a gay plot about 2 of the Hanna Barbera characters one night? I’ve only seen it on in bar with subtitles on.

There is another Adult Swim program that is like an animated “MTV Real World” where “old” cartoon characters room together. In a recent episode, the Little Mermaid character got vaginal plastic surgery (in detail) to “tighten up down there” and the running joke was that she had octopus tentacles dripping out of her parts.

Your comment is pretty right on, though I’d have to say that I’ve never seen as much animated blood in JQ as I have seen in VB, especially covering Brock (voiced by Patrick Warburton) on a regular basis.

As to a gay subplot in HB, AaL, not seen one with that being more than a minor subplot. As to animated Real World, I think you’re thinking of ‘Drawn Together’. If so, I tried it and did not like it: too obviously trying to breach any kind of moral boundary to bother with issues like character development, plot or wit. I’d go with ‘Tripping the Rift’ if I wanted to have both slightly transgressive material that had actual characters engaged in dealing with actual plot with at least a modicum of wit.

Of course, that would be ‘just me’. Can’t be more pointless a recommendation than that, eh?

I’d rather see them create new characters than go “raping my childhood” as they say on “Ain’t It Cool News”.

Same with how DC protected ‘their’ characters (acquired through mergers/buyouts) when Alan Moore wrote Watchman featuring the Charlton Comics characters (Blue Beetle, Question, etc...) and turned them into homocidal maniacs, rapists, etc. and let them die bloody and depressing deaths.

I posted those photos of Obama as another example of the Marxist a-hole being rammed down our throat during regular TV programming. That commercial ran during the Thanksgiving football games. Millions had to sit through that crap.
