I think I'm caught up in feedbacking people who've written stuff for me - if I've missed you, please let me know.

(As your friendly neighbourhood crack dealer I feel compelled to point you towards the Het Ficathon)

Was thinking about Soul Purpose. The random bear in the dissection part of the dream/hallucination - is that a Harvey Birdman in-joke? Harvey Birdman is an utterly genius Hanna Barbera cartoon about a law firm run by and representing superheroes and villains. There's a bear that turns up every so often for no apparent reason. (Anyone who hasn't seen this show should try and get their hands on a copy. It may be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Most of the episodes revolve around an old cartoon character being arrested: Fred Flintstone for involvement with the Mafia, Shaggy and Scooby for possession of dope. Ooh, and Johnny Quest's dad and the other guy from that show get an episode as a gay couple involved in a custody battle. The slash is very canon ("mm, bicurious" the firm's boss, Phil, chuckles to himself at one point) - though saying that, Harvey getting together with Yogi Bear's sidekick Bobo is the most disturbing thing that has ever graced my TV screen. And I mean that in the best way.)

Oh. My. God. *Where* can I see this work of genius?

Its on a channel called 'adult swim'. I know no more. I know that because it sits on the corner of the screeen when we watch the downloaded ones. Try Kazaa.

the channel is actually called comedy central. "adult swim" is a show they have on from 10pm to midnight (central time) sunday - thursday that features their more "adult" cartoons.

"harvey birdman" is only on on sunday nights.

i believe they have a website… um… in all likelihood it's adultswim.com.

It is, in fact, *not* Comedy Central but rather Cartoon Network. All the other information is true, though.

Ah Harvey Birdman. I watched a couple of shows a while ago, and i never did think to compare it with Angel. But yeah, Harvey. With the suit.

Must try and watch it again sometime. :D

God, I love that show. And, yeah, Birdman/Boo-Boo - I don't even know how that episode ended, because when they showed the two of them in bed together I started laughing so hard I could barely even *breathe,* and then fell off the bed.

Space Ghost also had a random bear at one point - his new sponsor was Kentucky Bourbon, so he had to make nice with their mascot, Old Kentucky Shark. And the shark's natural enemy was the bear, so there was a big chaotic fight scene.

*hearts Williams Street (the production company) so so much*
