The Superfriends and Sidekicks
September 5th, 2011 
rberry One of my early great cartoon loves was The Superfriends. It’s dorky as hell, but when you saw this beginning, you knew you were in for something special. Great powerful music, and a bombastic introduction by the inimitable Ted Knight. Though I could have done without Wendy and Marvin. I never quite understood the appeal [...]
Record Yourself Watching This Entire Video And Get A retroCRUSH SHIRT!
August 21st, 2011 rberry I stumbled on this video courtesy of longtime retroCRUSH Pal Slacker Lacker and am completely mesmerized. 6 full minutes of Skeletor laughing. It’s beautiful simplicity is both meditative and maddening. It may be the most honesty commentary on the government and our inability to love our fellow man that I’ve ever seen. Anyway, it’s inspired [...]
WIN ANGRY BEAVERS SEASON 1&2 ON DVD
August 15th, 2011 rberry Shout Factory gave me a copy of Season 1 and 2 of Angry Beavers on DVD. I was excited until I found it was not a porno, so I’m giving it away to a lucky retroCRUSH reader. Respond in this article via the Facebook link below with your favorite beaver joke. The winner will be [...]
Remembering Sherwood Schwartz 1916-2011
July 12th, 2011 rberry Sherwood Schwartz passed away in his sleep today at the age of 94. I interviewed him back in 2002 and it remains one of the most fun retroCRUSH pieces I’ve ever been lucky enough to do. I think this comprehensive interview with reviews his work on both The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island is a [...]

An Amazingly Awesome Alison Arngrim Appearance
September 19th, 2010 rberry I had a blast seeing Little House on the Prairie’s Alison Arngrim do her thing at Seattle’s Ravenna’s books last evening. She greeted a packed house wearing a smashing leopard and black ensemble complete with a pin that had the word “BITCH” atop a crown. She answered questions with enthusiasm, and happily signed autographs of [...]

July 23rd, 2010 rberry If you’ve seen at least 3 episodes of The A-Team, you’ve likely encountered a situation where they need to fly somewhere as a part of their mission. The problem for them was that B.A. Baracus (played by the unreplaceably cool Mr. T) had an insane fear of flying where he’d come close to attacking anyone [...]
I’ve Bent Better Air Out Of My Ass
July 1st, 2010 rberry The writing is horrible. The direction is confusing. The editing skips around. The acting is all line reading and posing surrounded by special effects. The 3D isn’t impressive. The Last Airbender is simply a horrible movie in every way. Based on a super fun Nickelodeon cartoon, M. Night Shyamalan makes a movie that at times [...]
SMURF CENTIPEDE!
June 28th, 2010 rberry I had a fun time drawing goofy and gross pictures at the Indy Euphoria show in Sacramento yesterday. From the reactions I got, I’m sure this would be a top selling t-shirt design, if there was a way around getting my pants sued off. If you don’t get the joke, consider yourself lucky, I guess! [...]
