The Bottomless Pit episode was fantastic, I love how they can delve into dark territory with lines like "life is just some kind of horrific joke without a punchline, that were all just biding our time until the sweet, sweet release of death without making it feel depressing.
Also, I found it impressive that the pit was mentioned in the Time Travelers Pig episode. All these little continuity details are amazing.

Oh good! When shows are on hiatus, it can sure take the wind out of their sails, but even so, I wasn't that worried
This show loves Halloween so much they have two Halloween specials in one season!
Nice.

I don't think there will be a Christmas themed episode since the kids are supposed to be visiting over the summer an' all. I could be wrong, though; they might decide to do something similar to Summerween.

can't see them doing x-mas. not enough reason to extort tourist or people other than put up a fake santa box or something. or do a futurama/american dad style christmas ;P

Why start a new thread? The one you've made here is awesome enough.
Yeah, Disney is suppose to have a press release in a few days detailing it. If I was to guess, they'll do what they usually do for the live action stuff: slow Season 1 eps. to a crawl, then after a month or so, launch season 2.
let's hope for decent DVD/bluray sets...none of this 3 eps. a DVD crap! (More Adventure Time style than Ult. Spiderman or Phineas & Ferb)

i thought megathreads weren't allowed? (or does that only matter on the gaming side) lol

Didn't know that. So, when doing OTs on shows, you have to make 1 each season? Crap.
You may want to go to the official OT topic and post your calling on the season 2 thread

OT isn't big enough where people care to make the thread. we'll stick to this thread. makes it look like we have a huge GF community ;P

Great news about Season 2. I just started having a little marathon myself. I was surprised to watch Legend of the Gobblewonker and actually see Blindin Blandon in the background. Also Gideon being in the magazine.
And as I type this just saw him in Headhunters.

Regular Show has one thread even though it's already had multiple seasons, so I think we're good on that front.

Sorry for the extra bump, but this is the last week for voting for the Gravity Falls tees at We Love Fine!
https://www.welovefine.com/vote.php?id_contest=29
I guess the deal is if you vote on all of the shirts, you get entered in a raffle to win a GF shirt.
Some are pretty decent. Not enough Mabel "Future is in the Past!" designs though. Personally will be pissed if a Star Wars themed one wins it, like what happened with the Scott Pilgrim contest...
I'd say we will see a birthday themed episode for the twins or a faux valentines/sweetest day episode before a Xmas one...but with this show, who knows?

Absolutely splendid as always. It was nice that Mabel was the one more involved with the supernatural this time.

Glad to see that a lot of you guys really dug the episode. Told you it was worth the wait.
My sis asked me the same question. The way I see it, Wendy's pretty cool headed all around, so this kid had to do something really fucked up to incite her wrath.
Really fucked up, but then again, there's worse stuff on tumblr and /co/. I mean
That kinda stuff...
Speaking of though:
After seeing this last week, I wondered why Wendy was the only character drawn without ankles? (isnt she a bit too small to have cartoon cankles?). Maybe it was another one of those weird design choices, like how some characters have 4 digits (the kids, Wendy) and some have 5 (Stan, the majority of adults)
Then again, her design above for some reason makes me think of Adventure Time, kinda like when Dipper does the "noodle arms" motion in "Fight Fighters."
Also, about the head lifeguard, was it just me but did he seem to remind you guys of one of the human characters from Ren & Stimpy? (Maybe the fireman or George Liquor)
Here's some more gifs from the interwebs:

Probably pulled a "Sandlot"/tried to cop a feel.

Pool episode was hilarious.
I knew the character felt familiar. I was wondering at first if we ever saw him in an episode before.

from the preview.
Haha I knew that would be on GAF.
Brilliant episode. One of the best and strongest in a while. Lots of chuckles out of this one.
I felt so sad for the kid trapped under the pool at the end credits :,(
Great news it's continuing for another series.

Think very early Simpsons with a sprinkle of X-Files.
At times, the show has a lot of dark humor, in which makes you wonder, "how the hell is this on Disney?". It has a delicious blend of hilarity and being uniquely heartwarming that you don't really see on TV (it's not forced or even cliched).
To be honest, i have never heard of the show before GAF, but I kinda ignored it. (as an adult, probably the last time I watched something on DC was Kim possible with my little sister). One night, I was working on a project, with the TV on as white noise. I heard the dialogue and it made me take notice. It was sharp, funny, and adorable. I was like, "WTF is this?" I caught the replay (thank you California feed) and was hooked ever since...
As for the avatar, I personally root for Dipper cause he kinda reminds me of myself at 12 (except I was fat). He's the straight man, flawed, honest, but an overall good guy; and as in my life, just because he's the good guy doesn't always mean he'll win in the end. (kinda like venture bros.)
Thanks. I think I will have to give the first episode a watch to see if it is for me.

I like it because it's genuinely hilarious to me and all the characters are great.

Glad to hear it! It's actually the one I overheard that fateful night...
If you want to skip around, I'd recommend:
"Headhunters" no. 3
"Inconviening" no. 5
"Double Dipper" no. 7
"Time Travelers Pig" no. 9 (if Disney doesn't submit this one for an Emmy nom, they're morons)
"Fight Fighters" no. 10
"Summerween" no. 12
Great list, would also add "Legend of the Gobblewonker" no. 2. Episode has some fantastic animation/music/pacing/jokes. Might be my personal fave for the series so far, and that's in light of the aforementioned list.
Welcome to the wonderful world of children animation, where shows take random breaks and shows get canceled, even though the ratings are good/great, because they can't sell toys.
It sucks, but you get use to it.
