If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

It'd be perfect! Push a button and hey presto, you're a quarter of an inch long!
A picture of the titular magic school bus from the TV series The Magic School Bus. It is framed in such a way that we can see both the front and the right side of the bus. It is floating against a light blue backdrop which is printed with white outlines of Earth, bats, telescopes, fireflies, crescent moons, and Liz the lizard, Ms. Frizzle's class pet. The magic school bus itself is printed all over with drawings of light bulbs, magnets, and stars. The screen over its front windows which shows a bus's destination simply reads "Wahoo!" Through the front windows we can see Ms. Frizzle, a white woman with a curly, wild red bun, in the driver's seat, with Liz, a stylized green chameleon, sitting next to her and waving out the window. Through the three side windows we can see three of the students: Carlos, a Hispanic boy with light brown skin and black hair, Keisha, a Black girl with curly brown hair in a bun, and Arnold, a Jewish boy with blond hair and glasses.

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

Still salty this was cancelled after two seasons on what had to be one of the top ten cliffhangers of all time.
A promo image of the cartoon series The Spectacular Spider-Man. It features Spider-Man in his classic red and blue outfit on the right, poised as if leaping towards the camera, against a black background with a spider-web stretched across it. The words "The Spectacular Spider-Man" are written on the left in stylized yellow and red font.

A meme of a small, potato-like creature drawn in simple line art, with two stick arms holding a plate, on which are the creature's eyes. Over its head, the meme is captioned: "Really? Right in front of my eyes?"

A quote from Terry Pratchett's Carpe Jugulum on a yellow and red gradient background. The quote reads: "It's not as simple as that. It's not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of grey." "Nope." "Pardon?" "There's no greys, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That's what sin is." "It's a lot more complicated than that---" "No. It ain't. When people say things are more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts." "Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes---" "But they *starts* with thinking about people as things..."

Disney cancelled it after one season, blast their eyes, and with some loose threads still dangling, because we don't get nice things anymore, but the first season is still well worth a watch. What they did with the villains' story is honestly even more interesting than the heroes. Renegade Nell.
The poster for Disney's "Renegade Nell". A white woman with brown braided hair stares directly into the camera. She is wearing a coat from the 1700s and a loosely tied cravat, and holding a flintlock pistol in one hand, leaning it against her shoulder. Around her head is a trail of light. Above her head are the words "Renegade Nell", with "She's a bit of a legend" written in smaller type above them. At the bottom is "Original Series March 29" and the Disney Plus logo.

People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better! What is your all-time favorite TV show?

OK, listen. Is it a GREAT show? No. Is it High Art? No. Are there shows which are, objectively, better? Sure. But you asked for my FAVORITE show of all time. So...

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers".

Me favorite little robot :3
WALL-E from the PIxar film WALL-E, a trash-compacting robot with a cubical body, bulldozer treads for feet, and big expressive binocular eyes, examines a Rubic's cube.

Genuinely seems like every single one of the big billionaires has had this reaction at some point and it fried their brains:

OK, why not, join in the light-hearted quote-posting.

I will absolutely be taking questions at this time.

(If the alt text has issues, let me know! I've never actually done this before.)
Mewtwo and Mew from the series Pokémon, floating in the air against a cloudy backdrop, surrounded by blue light. (...Just noticed Mew SHOULD be surrounded by PINK, but that's a side issue.)
