I really do want someone to track down their sound designer to ask them why the gently caress they're doing that.

How has Johnny Test lasted so long? I thought that Canadian shows didn't have the same incentive to go forever that American ones do.

When it was running in Canada it produced hundreds of episodes. I don't think CN is even producing new episodes it's just that there are already so many.

I heard it was that Canadian networks needed a certain percentage of original Canadian content and so Johnny Test is never, ever going away.

Nobody likes Johnny Test. I was 14 when it started airing and didn't like it then. By the way, Johnny Test has been on the air for 10 years.

I have bad news, a 3 part Johnny Test special is coming because apparently the way Canada vents its frustrations instead of getting mad in public is making episodes of Johnny Test.

Rather than WMDs, the Canadian government has a Johnny Test movie prepped and ready for release in theaters worldwide.

Cityinthesea posted:that Ed Edd n' Eddy movie is so good. I only watched the series up until they went to... was it middle school? but the movie itself was excellent. I liked it too. Eddy is kind of an rear end in a top hat to everyone trying to scam all the other kids all the time. And it's revealed that he is the way he is BECAUSE of his brother. But then Eddy's brother comes back and he's a total douche and all the other kids are even like "dude you're an rear end in a top hat" and stick up for Eddy against his brother and in the end they accept him (and the other two) as part of the group finally. I mean, Ed, Edd and Eddy was never all THAT serious, but it was a nice bit of closure to that silly show. What was great about Ed, Edd & Eddy was that they gave NO fucks when it came to, say, stretching a character like a rubber band or flattening them like a pancake. They were all about the cartoon physics and it made for a fun show to watch visually.

I wasn't a big or consistent fan of the show because the sqiggle-vision and some of the voices could give me a headache after a while, BUT I love the early episode where they build a city out of cardboard boxes. Hilarious. I don't think I ever saw an episode that topped that one.

I think the most important thing that Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show revealed was that Eddy's behaviour is not entirely his fault. His brother likely spent his formative years being as much of an abusive dickhead to Eddy as he is in the movie, and Eddy internalised the behaviour as relating to power, and tried to emulate him by constantly taking advantage of the less ruthless kids. His brother broke him. Notice that not only is the cul-de-sac collective actively afraid of Eddy's brother visiting, Eddy himself has left his brothers bedroom as a disturbed shrine that he only enters when absolutely necessary. But maybe I'm just overthinking. I find that fun to do :P

I don't know of any other place to put this: Saban and CW are pulling the plug on the Vortexx block, which is going to be replaced by with what looks like lifestyle shows for teens. I never actually watched it (since I am horribly, horribly old) but unless something dramatic goes down, this marks the end of Saturday morning cartoons as we once knew them on American broadcast television. Inevitable, all things considered, but dammit, the world I grew up in is dead...

ConanThe3rd posted:Urgh, and what they're replacing it with... The FCC has requirements that broadcast network devote a certain amount of time towards educational/children's programming. No one who actually cares about making the stuff is interested in broadcast TV anymore, so these requirements are filled by outside companies who will run any old poo poo and sell it to networks. IIRC the company responsible for Vortexx's replacement block has similar deals with several other networks, probably because they're the only ones interested.

BioEnchanted posted:But maybe I'm just overthinking. I find that fun to do :P Not really, Eddy's brother was built up as this mythical person who all the kids "respected" even though he was never shown. They also did this with all the kids parents. They, like Eddy's brother, are used as veiled threats to assert dominance in situations. BattleTech fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Jun 1, 2014 |

On the upside this means that broadcasting rights to things like Justice League will be up for grabs (that's how that works right?) and maybe Cartoon Network can get a decent superhero show on the air again.
