I have never seen a picture of Dan Schneider with the cast of his shows that didn't look like it belonged in a police folder labelled "Exhibit A"

I just realized the Dan Schneider I pictured all this time was actually Joss Whedon.

Or in a coroner's report with a label "Cause of death: Congestive heart failure". Jesus, I've never seen a picture of him at all before today, but that is not a healthy man.

He was a fat teenager in the 80s on Head of the Class. He will be dead soon, and perhaps a Jimmy Saville revelation will follow.

Should I be hyped? Her name is attached to Ben 10, and she might attack the glorious broimation that is Gumball and Regular Show.She might also push age appropriate programming and stiffen the melancholy brilliance of AT, SU and the upcoming miniseries.

Are you seriously telling me that you'd rather have a million filler episodes created by man of action instead of rad randomness and soda six packs? CN should be given to Pendleton Ward, not the backer of generator rex.

Now I know you're crazy. When you're doing a 25+ episodes a season show like Ben 10, some of those are filler episodes. And that's okay. Because it's a children's action/adventure cartoon. Every episode of every cartoon you like has a ton of filler episodes. "Rad randomness" would become very unenjoyable if that was the only thing available.

I want my own Omnitrex. :shrug:

gently caress my little cousins, they'd watch anything. Ben 10 is a lazy concept that should be put out of its misery, and I have no idea about its lovely carbon copy clone. CN just needs to murder the potheads who like squidbillies. Everything else (aside from creeping uncle grandpa laziness) is just fine.

I'd rather read the transcript of a filler episode of Generator Rex in this thread than your obnoxious hipper-than-thy-entire-planet word vomit that forms the vague semblance of a point about how terrible it is that Cartoon Network makes cartoons for children.

CN should make good cartoons period. lovely cartoons meant to sell toys should be a thing of the past. I'm sorry if that doesn't mesh with how some of you here enjoy icarly and ultrafusionmegaomnitrix season 9.

Ps. And Ben 10 wasn't really that bad of a show. It just refuses to die. I don't want this network being run by someone who made a career out of filler, putting out the same concepts every year androlling in toy revenue.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
I will admit to liking Carly and Drake and Josh at the age of 25, although iCarly was less good by far. I found Jerry Trainor (Crazy Steve, Spencer Shay) to be one of the funniest actors there due to the sheer energy he put into his gags. Also the Drake and Josh Episode where Josh "divorces" Drake as a brother in law and declares them to be roommates was an emoitionally satisfying one, as without Drake holding him back Josh took control of his own life and without Josh to fall back on Drake was forced to accept the consequences for all the dumb bullshit he normally gets away with.

Also, Xiaolin Chronicles was terrible but I loved the new supervain Chase Young. I was sold when he dunked his hair into his scrying pool just so that he could baywatch flip it. And then he wagers his looks in a showdown in the next episode and flips his hair at least twice in that episode (standing with the wind to his back so that he has to flip it out of his eyes was hilarious, he was doing all of it on purpose).
