Maybe he just viewed it as "just a cartoon," despite the effort put into it matching TOS, vs. the usual TV cartoons of the time? TAS ran opposite a Scooby-Doo clone, "Goober and the Ghost Chasers," and another animated spin-off of a 60s show, "Jeannie," which featured a teen cast/zany sidekick.

One post-Trump change I hope for is strengthening labor laws, as well as a boost in unions and ditching or paring back at-will employment.

Again, government shouldn't be run like a business. (I can't easily just "quit" and go elsewhere if the "boss" of the US is awful.) Also, business shouldn't be an excuse for employers to behave like dictators with a business degree (or bad cartoon bosses) and treat workers as disposable.

OLD READER: "Don't be silly. Now, after Donna was revealed to be an evil magically-made twin..."

Recently, DC finally fixed Donna's origin via bringing us her "definitive" origin, which is... just her original origin (rescued from a fire as a small child by Wonder Woman) with a few minor changes. That is, what they should've just stuck with in the first place. (The same goes for some other characters like Supergirl getting similar "definitive" origins = "the original with a few minor changes.")
