->''"I think season 2 is a fascinating one to revisit for this very reason, to see all those seeds planted, all those story concepts they continue to revisit. To look at Flanders and say '[[{{Flanderization}} Huh, he's starting to get a little more religious]]...', to look at the beginning of Selma's story arc, to witness their very first 'WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror'. The reason that season 2 doesn't feel as '[[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness weird]]' as season 1 is the fact that almost all those experiments were successful. You don't get the kind of evolutionary dead-ends that were in the first season. They very quickly grasped what's working, what isn't, what they can change, like all good season 2's do on television. Yes, it is certainly more slowly-paced, relaxed, and traditional than the later iterations, but this is basically the show that we all know and love. Season 1's successes got them to season 2. Season 2's successes got them to season 6. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} or something like that; I'm speaking more figuratively here]]. Season 2 proved that ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' wasn't a fluke, that it had lasting appeal. The show is here to stay, [[LongRunners and boy, did it stay]]. Creator/{{Disney}} should be thanking season 2 right now."''

->''You'd be hard pressed to find even the snobbiest critic saying unkind things about ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', particularly after [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban Book Three]], when the story stops being good and starts being ninja-good.''

->'''''Sheldon:''' (Amy), run to Best Buy and see if they have a portable DVD player and Season One of a show called “Series/HannahMontana”.''
->'''''Raj:''' Have her get Season Two. Season One, it was still finding itself.''

->'''Mr. Enter:''' That was... ''alright'', I guess. But I don't see what the fuss is about. I mean, it's just another typical adult cartoon. It's another show about another asshole with random cutaway gags and a good helping of gross-out humor. Not to mention that that animation isn't really doing much for me. And who the hell cold anyone relate to a character like [=BoJack=]?! He's a rich, washed-up asshole! Who would ''want'' to relate to a character like [=BoJack=]?! But I got the whole season, so let's keep going.

->''"[[Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews Their]] early work was a little too New Wave for my tastes, but when ''Sports'' came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically."''

->"Music/HunkyDory ''gave me a fabulous groundswell. I guess it provided me, for the first time in my life, with an actual audience – I mean, people actually coming up to me and saying, 'Good album, good songs.' That hadn't happened to me before. It was like, 'Ah, I'm getting it, I'm finding my feet. I'm starting to communicate what I want to do. Now: [[SoWhatDoWeDoNow what is it I want to do?' There was always a double whammy there.]]''"

->''"A story that begins with some crudely drawn panels of a boy wandering around his house, very gradually, achieves liftoff in scope and presentation. As hard as it might be to believe from reading the first few panels, everything in [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/14293468/homestuck-adventure-game that trailer]] takes place in the story later on in a meaningful context."''

->''"What is there to say? The best Dalek story of the classic series, the best story up to this point in the classic series, a story so radical that it changed how people did ''Doctor Who'' forever. Would there have been a new series if the show had been cancelled before this? I’m not sure there would have been..."''

->''"In the coming season I will suffer from [[SpotlightStealingSquad Seven fatigue]] as I do think they focused on her character too much to the detriment of others, but that isn’t a problem at the moment. Having a spanking new character join is exactly what the show needs to give it a lift and regardless of how shallow [[MsFanservice shoving a Borg drone into a cat suit]] is, the character really works and has made me pay attention to ''Voyager'' again... We end the episode with the ship damaged and perverted with Borg technology and a Borg drone separated from the Collective--and we open the next episode in exactly the same place ''without'' everything [[ResetButton ship shape and hunky dory]] again! Colour me impressed! "''
