“One of the things that really bothers me is that people make a theory, put it on the internet, and after a while it's just assumed to be true.”
“We never thought that he committed suicide. He was disappointed, wanted to leave the city, hooked up all of his pigeons and flew away."
— Craig Bartlett on the Pigeon Man theory (2015)
Hot Dog Water’s death in “Through the Curtain” was devastating.
The camera cuts away before the gun fires, but Velma’s reaction to the distant shot and Scooby turning and whimpering says it all.
“Just keep going, Scooby...” hits like a truck.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.
The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.
What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.
Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.
In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

We thought it was finally time to give you all a few updates and some news. #codelyoko
🦋 Game development will resume next week, which means we’ll soon start sharing updates about it. And do you remember the first gameplay video we shared several weeks ago? This may or may not reassure you, but… everything has changed!
🦋 A much more substantial story overview will also be coming, most likely by the end of July. We’re giving ourselves a wide margin here, but it could arrive much earlier.
🦋 As for the trailer… I think we’ve teased enough scenes already. What comes next won’t be revealed as a WIP, nor shown as a preview. We won’t be sharing any additional information about it. It’ll be a surprise.
And speaking of surprises: the website is now packed with brand-new additions!
- The Characters section is now divided into several categories to keep the page less cluttered: Lyoko Warriors, Kadic, Others, Carthage Members, and, of course… Antagonists.
- You can now listen to the diaries of Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and William! Their contents may be hiding a few clues about what comes next…
- The Wiki has been polished further, with new data added!
- A Bestiary now properly lists all the monsters/enemies from the series… as well as our own little personal additions. There are still a few missing, but…
- Franz Hopper’s Diary is finally here!!! The first part, split into 3 volumes (each featuring its own “chapters”) and covering his story from 1973 to 1983, is now available!
- The Gallery is back, but… doesn’t it look a little like the Holo-Map?
He can also enable her easy gapless sandwich strings, but I really didn't have the time to lab what to do here, they can do some gymmick left rights tho.
This sinergy is crazy
