One of these days I'm going to finally get around to that story where one of the protagonists is a friendly tentacle monster who's really depressed about the rap his people get. Keep your underpants on, girls, for pity's sake. He just wants to cuddle.

(Shuma-Gorath v. Sakura in the original Capcom Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. Go ahead and tell me the game's designers weren't smoking that without the filter.)

Bear Grylls (of Man vs. Wild fame) briefly had another, shorter-lived show called Worst Case Scenario, which I quite liked. (Better than Man vs. Wild - survival shows don't really do it for me - but that's another thing.) In it he presented dramatized helpful tips about what to do if you were to find yourself in various really unfortunate situations. One of them involved escaping from a multi-story building (not that tall) under some desperate circumstance or another, and he did it by using a stairwell firehose as an impromptu stuntman's decelerator reel and jumping out of a window. One does rather think of things like that when Sosuke's around.

I enjoyed Worst Case Scenario a lot, but I'm not surprised it didn't last long. The legalities of the day meant that the show was kind of hopelessly in conflict with itself at all times. Bear would do a segment explaining how to rescue someone from a sinking car, and then a card would come up noting that under no circumstances should you ever, for any reason, attempt to rescue someone from a sinking car, for Christ's sake be reasonable. It rather spoiled the effect.
