- I got a 12-year-old and a 10-year-old.
And so we watch a lot of cartoons.
I think I might be good to go.

sound whenever you're not watching
the actual visuals to go with it.
- That's a great show. Weird, but I love it.

- Oh, I know it's Adventure Time.
I've watched it with my kids, and I've watched it by myself.

- (rhythmically) Gotta get my schoolwork done!
I'm gonna be smart! I'm gonna be a crime fighter!
- That sounds like some FBI cartoon or something.
(song concludes, backwards voice whispers) - Okay.
This is very weird.
- (Katie) How about this theme? Do you recognize it?
- No.
- I do not know it.
- I do know it. I just can't think of the actual name of it.
- Girl Crime Fighter.
- Is it Rick and Morty?
- Yes, it's Gravity Falls.
- (Katie) This is the theme from Gravity Falls.

I don't think I've heard of that.

- Uh... haven't seen it.
- I haven't heard of that at all.
- (Katie) Even if you don't know the show,
does this theme song remind you of anything in particular?
- No.
- It just reminded me of an '80s girl band song.
- All right, educate me.
- (Katie) A lot of people and critics have said
it sounds very similar to David Bowie's "Space Oddity."
- Oh, yeah! It definitely did.
- Okay! I can see that.
- Interesting. I'm a huge Bowie fan.
Anything that's like Bowie I'll respect.

When the children were watching,
I would sit down and take a break too.

The one that starts with a "kuh" sound.
- This one, do you know it? - Avatar?
- Avatar.
- The Windwalker? The Wind-- Airbender?
- I do know it, but I don't know the actual title.
- The Legend of Korra.
I knew one!
- (Katie) This is from Nickelodeon's spin-off of Avatar,
The Legend of Korra. - Oh, son of a biscuit eater. Seriously?
- Korra! Sheeeiz-oh.
I knew it. (chuckles)
- (Katie) This series has been praised
for its portrayal of gender, race, and strong female characters,
particularly its bisexual hero, Korra. - Bisexual? Interesting.
You should start teaching that to kids from a young age.
I never understood why we need to shelter them for so long.
- Which is freaking awesome. I love that.
More shows should be like Legend of Korra.
- Korra in the end hooks up and gets her lady.
So that was awesome. And that I know about
because I read about it all over the Internets.

- (Katie) So do you know it?
- I guess Scooby-Doo because of the song.
- Scooby-Doo.
- Obviously Scooby-Doo.
- (Katie) This is the theme song
for the last iteration of Scooby-Doo
called "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" - (scoffs)
He always was, so why reiterate it?
- I've heard of that.
- Scooby-Doo was one of my all-time favorites.
It's a classic.
- I heard the new Scooby-Doos are pretty bad.
Compared to the old ones. I loved the old ones.
- I used to like it back in the day.
It's how I got my son to eat certain things.
I would call his chicken nuggets Scooby Snacks.
- (Katie) Since the characters were introduced in 1969,
there have been 12 different Scooby-Doo television series
and over 15 movies.
Naturally the characters' looks have changed over time as well.
- Okay. Please tell me Shaggy's still a stoner though.
- (Katie) Here's what they look like now.
- Oh yeah, they're just going a little bit funkier with the art.
But you can still tell who they all are.
- Family Guy meets Scooby-Doo?
- They don't look the same.
They look more like computerized.
- Oh, hell no.
I don't know like how Freddy looks.
- Was Fred in some form of an accident,
now he's paralyzed from the waist down?
That leg-to-torso ratio is really off.
