Death metal rules the world, well the fictional world... well just this fictional world. Metalocalypse is an Adult Swim show held close to my heart because we here at Cartoon Chronicles love metal music. Brendan Small does as well, but he actually did something productive with his passion (unlike some specific podcasters who may or may not be us)

This week Homer decides to gain some weight. Not too much, just enough to be considered obese enough to where he can't work. Homer really proves that he'll put in any amount of work possible to not have to do any work. An ironic direction for a really funny episode, one of my all time favorites in fact.

Today in the world of Cartoon Chronicles, Death gets a broken ankle after trying to kill Peter because he wrote that he was deceased in order to not have to pay a hospital bill. Does that sound like the recipe for one of the greatest family guy episodes ever? We believe so.

On a very special episode of Cartoon Chronicles, Parker and Collin face each other in a contest of who knows more. 15 questions each, from easy to obscure and even cheap trick questions. Who really knows more? There's only one way to tell.

It took us a while to get to one of our favorite shows for some reason, and I just know that there's potentially billions of people on the edge of their seat waiting to hear us talk about this amazing show. A delivery boy has a pretty unremarkable life, but when he wakes up in the future... everything changes. Because now he's a delivery boy in space. This also has to be the most pilot like episode of any pilot we've done, but that doesn't mean it's the worst, we actually think the opposite.

Archer and his spy buddies find themselves on a Zeppelin/rigid airship, but not a blimp. It turns out there's a bomb, but not really. Except there is... apparently. Mallory staged it, but it turned out there was a bomb..? It's up to Archer, Ray and Lana to defuse it, or they could just push it off. While all of this is happening Cyril and Lana are having relationship troubles, mostly (completely) due to the fault of Cyril.

Chef has a new girlfriend, wife and demon on his hands. it's up to the boys to hate her without reason and break her and Chef up. Only to later find out she's a demon, hate her with reason and try to break her and Chef up. This episode has a lot of iconic moments in it, but the episode itself is not actually that iconic. We also learned a very valuable lesson, don't take south park too seriously.

The pilot of what has been called a ripoff more so than any other show I can think of is going to be done on a podcast about reviewing episodes of tv shows, a totally original idea. Peter is on welfare, yet he's also richer than he's ever been. Further points of discussion include: how Family Guy started, Opinions on Seth Macfarlane, and the Life of Larry.

South Park takes on the superhero genre, for the first of many times. The Fractured But Whole is not out yet, but I think it's safe to say this is the most realistic depiction of the boys as superheroes. Not realistic in the gritty way of watchmen (even though that's what they were going for) but realistic in the way that people without powers being superheroes would most likely not be great. In the world of South Park, even though the heroes are incompetent, the public still views them the way we would view Superman.

After the success of The Simpsons, Fox eventually decided to try their hands at another prime time animated series... It just took them almost an entire decade to do so. We here at the Cartoon Chronicles podcasting place believe it was worth the wait, even though we never had to do any of the waiting. Find out how different the show Mike Judge originally pitched was, and how much Greg Daniels contributed to making the show the one we all love. Oh, and we'll talk about the pilot episode as well.
