A little ginger-haired man has appeared as the icon for c4countdown on my tabbed browsing. Upon typing Futurama into Google images, I discovered he is a character from that! Very clever.

I never watch any of those American cartoon series (seen the South Park movie and Team America though) - is that one of the better ones then?
Living life in a gyratory circus kind of way.

It's great. Although the recent films were a bit shit.

I should be a critic.

Yea the series are way better than the films. Films are too random, haven't bothered watching any of them again whereas I've seen all the normal episodes lots of times.

I thought the second film (Beast with a Billion Backs) was good, as was Into the Wild Green Yonder. Bender's Game was unfortunately a bit poor, whilst the first one I could take or leave. The show definitely works better in 25-minute portions.

I prefer the older ones over the newer ones, like Casper the Friendly Ghost and The Flintstones.

I hadn't seen South Park for ages, then got a good chuckle from this episode that I found on Google Videos: South Park - World of Warcraft
