    I like Familiar Faces, I idea of seeing a show throw the view of minor characters. Plus I love your artwork. Keep up the good work CR. =)

    Hey CR. Great video (really love your artwork) but you really need to have the audio playing at a higher level in the background for the commentary and a lot higher during those silent pauses, it will really make those those pauses a lot less awkward (you even pause a few times to hear a good joke but we hear nothing on our end).

    wait what? TGWTG tournament? Never heard of that before, but anyways i love getting a look at the minor characters from series because a lot of the times those are the types of characters i connect to, weird as that is. So i love your show, keep at it.

    People complain about the length of your videos? Eh, screw em. I say people could use a kick in the attention span now and then.
  • Rock Golem  - I concur
    I wish you had made this as long as you wanted CR, Screw the vocal minority!A longer video means more entertainment!In fact, I make a motion that we petition CR to make all his videos as long as he wants, all in favor, say I.

    P.S.I didn't grow up with Janine, but I happen to think she's far more attractive than any other cartoon babes of the time.Eye of the beholder and whatnot.

    I love watching Familiar Faces and I now know how it all came to be! Thanks CR!

    By the by: Winston is my favorite character, but I think Janine was better for familiar faces.

    =D

    Man I love familiar faces its so nice to see underrated or forgotten characters finally getting their due. I'm also a huge commentary fan so you can bet this put me right in hog heaven.
  • Tsubasaga
    I like you show and how you talk about underrated characters and i like long videos and i don´t understand why people hate them so much.

    The entire Real Ghostbusters series is on DVD. A cartoon-savvy guy like you oughta know that, Chad.

    On that set, Kath Soucie pronounces her last name "Sue-cee." Just so you know.

    And the proper expression is "hang a lampshade on it," not a lantern.

    Did I miss something about the Quest 64 Let's Play?? I thought that was the funniest Let's Play I've ever seen...

    I liked hearing your commentary about this one CR. I'm always interested in what the creators of these videos think about them, especially about something as important as the first episode. =)

    I also think that the Egon joke would go well on a T-shirt. I'd buy it. By the way, what's this about a ThatGuyWithTheGlasses tournament? How have I not heard about this? :eyebrow:

    The only problem I have with long videos is it makes my pc lag horribly.

    The Janine episode really made me a fan right off the bat. It was thorough, funny, well-researched and informative. In fact, despite of all your beginner's mistakes, I'd still rank it amongst the more professional videos on the site.
    I was actually a little disappointed when not all of your work turned out to be exactly like it, but I remain a fan nonetheless.

    This was the episode that drawn me CR's Familiar Faces series. Keep up the creative flow, and I don't mind watching lengthy vids.

    Nice to get a commentary from you, CR. :D

    Familiar Faces definitely hits a gap in the market. Forgotten side characters, as proven by you, can make a very interesting subject. It's surprising how much is going on there and how they're used to support the story and how they actually start evolving in long running series.

    Oh, sort of off topic but, have you heard of the term Flanderization, at TV Tropes? ( http://tvtropes.org/ pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ Flanderization ) It might be interesting to get your comments on this.

    Oh hey,i didn't realize my cover was in your vid.
    I penciled and inked the Ghosbuster manga cover but did not color it,so i can't really explain why his hair is white.
    I do recall however that the folks at Columbia Pictures specified that the characters shouldn't look exactly like their movie counterparts.
    Maybe that explains it :)

    Keep up the good work!

    I actautly like all the videos so far regardless of length =D
  • BioRage1920
    I actually want longer videos, I'm always a little disappointed when it ends too early. 20-30min is great in my opinion, but that's just me.

    avatar
    So Chad, we know how you feel about Janine, but what about Slimer? Does he work as the Ghostbusters lovable mascot/sidekick? Or does he belong in the containment grid with all the other paranormal perpetrators?
  • J1P2K
    Hope we get to see commentary on some of the top 11 vedios, the face-offs, and the crossover.

    I think most length haters came in the early episodes, as people weren't sure of the concept then. These days, I'm sure it would be much better accepted.
  • MissManiacs  - FF on lola?
    avatar
    Once you said you were going to do a familiar faces on lola i got so excited.

    I hope you go through with that :)

    "Hanging a lantern"? I'm thinking that should be Hanging a Lampshade.

    Hey Chad

    I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a crossover with me to do a video on one of the most under-rated characters from G.I. Joe, Cover Girl. One of my fans requested this video from me after I reviewed G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra and failed to mention the pour girl (which was still more merciful than what the filmmakers did with her in the movie) I think it would be better if we team up, you being the master of the obscure characters and me being the over lord of trivial knowledge.

    If you are interested feel free to visit my web site to get my contact info and while your there feel free to check out some of my videos:

    Now you have to do a commentary on this commentary where you talk about doing the commentary. Then you do a commentary on that. And just keep doing a new commentary on the previous commentary every so often.

    "It was my first commentary. I hadn't gotten the hang of things yet. You see that I digress, I wander off."

    Hanging a lantern? Don't you mean a lampshade?
