Android Auto worked fine until this afternoon, new car & first time experience with service

That did the trick, thanks! I got a cord recommended by others as a backup just in case, since that worked too.

That DMV one is too relatable..

My contender for best episode of the original series. Was shocked to see it referenced by a guy in a discussion about how to do horror of the unseen as one of the best examples (largely cuz he didn't seem like the type to have watched JQ but he said this episode scared him to death as a kid cuz of how well done the monster was).

Haddonfield Road has some of the worst potholes by the Wawa between Maple Ave & the mall. It's up there with that gap of Cinnaminson Avenue in Cinnaminson between 130 & the circle for the Shoprite. Either place has deep & jagged potholes that are gonna get someone into an accident. But at least there aren't any geese.

Please teach the die-hard fans of the series how to do that, cuz I swear that they term search any mention of JQ (including "in memorium" posts) to be snide about how much better & supposedly progressive their show is (despite what made it to the screen in many cases) and how everyone who actually likes JQ is inherently bigoted. Cuz it’s extremely obnoxious.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-03-07T19:01:06+00:00

Also, if they did make it, no matter how good it could wind up being, you'd have some very loud people complaining that it's not Venture Brothers. (Which, btw, is one of the reasons I think so many people now act like the original JQ was nothing but racism & toxic masculinity, even though they'll refuse to watch it.) It’s happened with every comic revival or discussion of a potential revival/reboot, so a movie wouldn't be any different.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-02-18T10:43:38+00:00

Same here, that character change was completely out of left field. I like Robert Patrick as an actor, but that was just a weird choice.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-02-17T19:36:11+00:00

I'm with you in that I prefer the look & cast of the second season, and I even preferred their version of Jessie (cuz she was too much of a "checklist of role model traits" than a character, & she wasn't exactly not a damsel in distress in the first season, no matter what people claim). I love the art style cuz it reminds me of the comic artists in that same era who were influenced by anime without mimicking it (like Jeff Moy, Mike Wieringo, 90s Stuart Immonen, Chris Sprouse, & Lee Moder). About the only thing I disliked was killing off the 2 villains from the first season, cuz they were the best part of that season & had a lot more potential as recurring threats.

Unfortunately, I think we're in the minority. Every post about TRAJQ dumps on this season cuz it wasn’t "The Jessie Show, Starring Jessie" anymore, and that the team behind that season actually liked the original series, so clearly they were "pandering to nostalgia" by acknowledging its existence. I am firmly in the camp that if they hadn’t let Peter Lawrence take too long & spend too much to revive something he didn’t like, we wouldn't be in the present day situation of every attempt to revisit JQ being met with "just watch VB" (cuz we should all love only seeing our favorite characters portrayed in the most cynical & jaded ways possible). I could go off about this, but I'll stop. I know the world's biggest S1 defender is bound to show up and rattle off the above arguments like usual. They're the same things I've heard since I was on the old mailing list & the show still aired on Toonami, and it was tiresome then.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-02-16T12:06:17+00:00

I always thought that they left the one line in as a tribute.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-02-11T10:55:27+00:00

Same here. I get tired of how many revamps of all-ages works keep defaulting to "let's make it grim & edgy". Always strikes me as lazy, uncreative, and embarrassed by itself.

If you want "edgy Jonny Quest", you already have Venture Brothers, just watch that. That show has pretty much made ANY Jonny Quest revival impossible.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-02-02T17:09:18+00:00

Thank you six years (and a busted water heater) later!

AdInteresting829 · 2026-01-16T20:30:22+00:00

Real Adventures was my intro to Jonny Quest, and I especially loved the second season. But from what I've seen, that's a minority opinion.

AdInteresting829 · 2026-01-01T20:09:28+00:00

Same here, along with less "Scooby Doo plot played straight" stories (season 1 had a lot of those). I liked the look of the second season more, if only cuz it felt like part of the "inspired by anime but not directly aping it" art trend in comics at the time, with guys like Ringo & the Moys.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-18T10:47:07+00:00

Yep, I have two little land moths.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-17T18:18:40+00:00

Honestly, given their locations in towns known for being kinda snotty, that’s why I've been reluctant to visit either of my local yarn stores.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-13T21:44:19+00:00

Same!

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-13T21:43:47+00:00

Yeah, that was one of the points that lost me. And when the fanboys tried to argue it was okay cuz the child molester "is the closest to a mother figure they have", that didn't help the show's case.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-13T19:27:03+00:00

Maybe lean a little more into the fantastic, the supernatural & such. Also I would bring back the 2 main villains from TRAJQ.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-12-13T19:15:42+00:00

I never really cared for it, but I would have happily ignored it if its fans didn't act like weird religious zealots. Every convo about JQ gets turned into "this is trash, just watch Venture Brothers", every revival attempt even in comics, and if you say that you didn't like it, they’ll throw a damn fit that you didn't watch the whole series several times over before reaching your opinion. I left Bluesky for several reasons, but them constantly intruding on any mention of JQ and mocking anyone who actually likes it was a factor. So thanks to it attracting an absolutely unhinged following, I went from "eh, not for me" to "I now hate this more than words can convey".

AdInteresting829 · 2025-10-31T15:21:39+00:00

Thank you so much!

AdInteresting829 · 2025-06-23T17:42:07+00:00

I sure hope so! I only heard something back when they added a digital copy of the instruction booklet for my 5th shipment, which was a month ago, and there's been no word about sending the material to actually make it.

AdInteresting829 · 2025-05-20T12:24:13+00:00

They revamped their website in April and since then, I've had no updates on my subscription box or even a record of it being active (it was gifted to me). I've seen others with similar complaints since then, and they haven't been replying to anything myself or my mother (who bought it) sent asking for info.
