The Fall of Spongebob Squarepants: An Opinion From a Former Fan
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Well, for a time, I did, alongside Spongebob and his cast of underwater weirdos — and dang, did I ever love being down there. I said before that for a time, I enjoyed watching Spongebob Squarepants, and I meant it — that show was one of the few 'new age' cartoons on Nickelodeon that I loved watching on TV when it first aired, because it was new, exciting, crazy, and most of all, funny.

Steven Universe: One of the Best Cartoons of the 2010's
Being born in 1991, I grew up on a lot of what many in my age group would consider to be 'classic' cartoons on Nickelodeon: Rugrats, Catdog, Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Add onto those other classics, like Tiny Toon Adventures, Pinky and the Brain, and Animaniacs, and you have a good sense of the cartoons I grew up with.

How Has Family Guy Changed?
It's hard to imagine there's someone out there who hasn't seen at least one episode of Family Guy. The show has been on for almost 19 years and shows no signs of slowing down. When the show premiered after Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, no one thought it would reach such monumental status. Family Guy is also a rare example of a show being brought back after cancellation due to highly rated reruns and DVD sales. Since its revival, Family Guy has received fairly stable ratings. While the ratings may not have changed much, the show certainly has. Naturally when a show is on for so long it will go through progressions, but this is different. It's not just that Family Guy has changed a character, a story line, or even a theme; there is a fundamental difference between Family Guy from 1999 and Family Guy from 2017.

Twin Peaks 2017: "I'm Like the Blue Rose"
A few weeks ago, I wondered what further secrets Diane Evans had in store for us; in Part 16 we found out two of the most devastating and shocking yet. First, the terrible truth came out that many had suspected since Part 7—that on the night they last met, Mr. C had raped Diane. The second was one that only a few had considered but everyone was undoubtedly shocked to find out; Diane was a tulpa, a manufactured replicate of the original, acting directly on behalf of Mr. C. But what does this actually mean? What exactly is a tulpa and how are they created? And what does their existence mean for the fates of the real Diane Evans & Douglas Jones?

'Twin Peaks' 2017: There's Always Music in the Air
The soundtrack to the original Twin Peaks is one of its most iconic and adored elements; Angelo Badalametti's evocative score, created in direct collaboration with Lynch himself, does an incredible job of enriching the mood and underscoring the emotion of almost every scene. Complimenting this are the songs sung by Julee Cruise; in an unusual feature for the time, Cruise is character herself, a singer at the local bar called the Roadhouse. Her angelic vocals and dreamy melodies created an ethereal ambience to her performances, where the lines between dimensions would often seem to blur; this is perhaps most notable in Episode 14, where the Giant appears on stage over Cruise as she sings a heartbreaking ballad, and delivers a devastating message to Coop, while the Elderly Waiter offers his condolences.
