Go Go Ranger Colors

So does that mean the girls have pockets in their dresses?

So does that mean the girls have pockets in their dresses?

Coloring that with coloring pencils while Jake and Leon were done on the computer was, in hindsight, a bad idea. But it does segue into tonight’s commentary, and it’s one I know you’ve all heard.

The first Black Ranger was a black man.

The first Yellow Ranger was Asian.

Before Tommy became the Red Ranger we learned he was Native American.

This is usually treated as, at the very least, racial insensitivity, although they’re given the benefit of the doubt by noting it was unintentional. It was still a horrible thing for Saban to do and they must never do that again. I’d like to quote Hilary Clinton, which it pains me to do as a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy but…..

what difference at this point does it make!

Morning Article Link: Mourning Saturday Morning

Jana Of The Jungle

Well, it finally happened. CW aired the last Saturday morning programming block, with some kind of “follow these nature people around” reality show taking its place. Cinema Blend contributor Jessica Rawden has the death certificate. Now you only get to see cartoons if you have cable. I have plans to properly celebrate Saturday Mornings as soon as I have time and money. Yes, this project will need some financial backing and I’m not in the position to do that right now, but this will be my greatest video project if I can do it. I’m not letting SatAM go without a proper farewell.

Jake & Leon #219: And Prince Albert Is In The Can

The call is from I.C. Upie.

The call is from I.C. Upie.

This is what happens when a joke comes to me while half-asleep and doesn’t let go.

I’ve been trying to get a new BW Video Review done for yesterday. As you can tell, I failed. I’m hoping NOW to get it done by next Saturday. I still have the voice over and hosting footage to do before I can edit. That means nothing was added to The Clutter Reports or Reviewers Unknown this week. This makes me unhappy.

Well, that’s not completely true. With RU closing on October 20th a bunch of us put together a tribute to Ozzie Arcane, the guy who started RU and brought us all together.

Saturday Night Showcase: Patreon Creators Gathering

BW On Patreon title card

Again my video was delayed. It’s a new Video Review and it’s coming, I swear. So tonight we have something interesting that I was a part of, so it’s still a video I was involved in. I’m part of the “Patreon Creators and Supporters” group on Facebook, run by Cuddling Wolf (or Origami Wolf on YouTube) On Tuesday he arranged for a Google Hangout with a bunch of participants in the group and I was able to be one of them. We discuss our own projects, how to improve our patron supporters (like me asking you to click the above image to go to my Patreon page), and just some other stuff as we wound down. If you have your own Patreon and want to increase your supporters you may find some good ideas here.
