   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	New Cartoon: Reel Livin'.   
   	Good stuff:   
   	- Paul Chapin provides a quite nice Crow, not quite sounding   
   like Trace Beaulieu but certainly in that neighborhood.   
      
   	- While the settings and character designs are quite stylized,   
   it's in a charming fashion and I like the feel.   
      
   	- Gypsy gets the best line.  I think she also gets the best   
   usein moving about for the menus and general puttering around.   
      
   	- We see a part of the Satellite of Love we haven't seen   
   before.   
      
   	- Actually, 'charming' is probably the best word to use all   
   around for this.  There's not any real setup-punchline in it; it's   
   much more character-driven and lets Crow, primarily, mutter on about   
   something he finds interesting.  But the effect is certainly funny,   
   even if I can't pull out a line from Crow or Tom to support that.   
      
   	- PO Box 5325 HOPkins, Minnesota 55343 is still there.   
      
   	- Boy, I like this Mystery Science Theater 3000 stuff.   
      
      
   	Early reasons to panic:   
   	- The sketch is certainly pleasant, but it's also a story   
   pattern they did not a few times, of Crow being genially passive   
   until Tom thoroughly disrupts his day.  It's been near a decade since   
   they did one of those, of course, but thanks to the magic of DVD and   
   Google Video there's no such thing as time passing for the audience   
   anymore.   
      
      
      
   	Videos available for watching:   
   	- A robot sings a love song to a turtle.   
      
   	- Crow finally films Earth Versus Soup, and is assaulted by   
   a focus group.   
      
   	- We learn the family tree of Godzilla, with a couple seconds   
   before the sketch proper starts.   
      
   	- Dr Forrester and TV's Frank have a date which is, sadly,   
   more successful than any I've ever had.   
      
   	- Joel has very high pants.
