Well, I learned an important lesson on tonal whiplash this weekend at Ushicon. Saturday night was my second Tokusatsu block starting at 10pm. For the first two hours, I showed the first five episodes of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger.

It's a fun Super Sentai entry with a very intriguing premise and some great characters. Once we had gotten through the initial story arc and that chunk of episodes, it was after midnight so I decided to switch to the new Garo series Heir of Steel Armor.

Folks seemed pretty onboard with the spooky vibes of the show until we got to the scene in episode 1 where the construction foreman was being pressured to take the fall for a shoddy job by the mob who convinced him to cut corners, gets possessed by a horror and takes a hammer to the head of the mob boss. Three people just got up and left. For context, Ushicon is an 18+ only convention and we're a little bit more free in what we show there than we would be at an all ages event (heck, I showed the first Hentai Kamen movie one year) but perhaps swapping from all-ages colorful fun to blood, guts and horror filled early morning Tokusatsu drama was not the right choice. Other things I found out at Ushicon: 1) I need to watch more Kamen Rider Gotchard. I showed the first two episodes without having watched them myself in advance and now I need to get caught up and have this show in my life.

2) Laverne and Shirley in the Army was way worse than I remember it being and just one of the worst cartoons I have ever shown.

Whoever came up with the character of Sgt. Squealey needs to be charged with crimes against comedy for coming up with such a loathsome animal mascot.

I was tagged by @deraingedhawkeye, so here are my 10 comfort shows

#1- Mash. It will always be Mash. Not going to elaborate because 50% of my blog is this.

#2- Gravity Falls. What else can be said about this show?

#3- My Name Is Earl. I'm still crossing my fingers that there will be a reboot in the near future :(

#4- Bob's Burgers. Such a breath of fresh compared to other adults cartoons. I love watching healthy families thrive.

#5- Three's Company. I love and miss John Ritter so much :( he never fails to make me laugh.

#6- The Monkees. Family sitcoms from 40-70 years get on my nerves because of how overly wholesome they are. But the same vibe applied to a group of characters who aren’t family? Sign me up!! The Monkees are also literally the reason why I didn’t kill myself over Covid so…

#7- Futurama. Same reasons as Bob's Burgers.

#8- King of the Hill. I watched the entire show during the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school. I love this beyond words. Can’t wait for the reboot :)

#9- The Golden Girls. What hasn’t been said about how great this show is??

#10- The Andy Griffith Show. As said above, not a fan of old family sitcoms, but this one is great. The perfect amount of wholesomeness without being overly annoying or cheesy like Leave It to Beaver or The Brady Bunch. I also love Don Knotts.

Honorable mentions because there’s more than 10:

- Gilligan's Island

- Happy Days

- I Dream of Jeannie

- Parks and Rec

- Laverne and Shirley

- That Girl

- The Muppet Show

- Seinfeld
