I was trying to find a video or story, but not even the internet or :gonk: Johnny Test Wiki :gonk: wants to admit that Johnny Testmus is going to happen. I really want to have ratings or viewer charts to just drop down to nothing for CN's Christmas day Broadcasting. As well meaning as it would be, I just want to see numbers drop dead on a graph.

You know what show I used to like but have kinda soured on as it went on? Adventure Time.

It was a pretty funny show when it started and I loved how it had tons of innuendo for a kids show. But I started getting irritated once they started going overboard with the dumb messageboards/internet references. Sure, making a few jokes here and there regarding internet humor is one thing, but it seems like the writers write them with the mindset of "hey, look! We're making JOKES ABOUT THE INTERNET! Bet all you people who post about things online are gonna talk about a lot and how it's so cool and hip that we're so self-referential eh? EH?"

Why in god's name did CN choose Christmas of all times to bring back Johnny Test? Or choose to make the entire 25th nothing but the worst modern cartoon from Canada?

In America, Christmas day is more or less a ratings black hole which is why most TV shows stop airing new episodes from the middle of December until after New Years. The Christmas Day marathon is probably the cheapest and most unceremonious way of dumping a bunch of new episodes out without interfering with their programming.

I agree but the thing is that it totally worked and the people that are still fans are super mega defensive about it, almost on par with :ranbowdash:, so it's a hill that you will die on if you bring it up.

Adventure Time has been kind of mixed as of late but the latest batch of episodes was pretty fantastic.Like they went way for awhile and then they had a week of new episodes and they were all pretty much fantastic. The one where Jake was a brick was particularly amazing.

For me it's the continuity that's soured me on it mostly. Like worldbuilding is cool and all, but pretty much all the worldbuilding in Adventure Time is kind of lame and boring. That, and it seems to take itself too seriously too often for a show centered around talking animals and a kingdom of food creatures.

I have bad news (or good news) for you, the airing is indeed happening, I saw an ad for it during the Regular Show Christmas special.

Luckily, the Science Channel is airing what has to be the biggest loving Mythbusters marathon ever, airing 220 Mythbusters episodes from December 24 to January 2. So if you feel the need to watch something on Christmas, watch Mythbusters.:v:

Death of the artist and all that, but yes, Korra's ending was meant to be unambiguously romantic:

From one of the Avatar bigwigs:

quote:

Our intention with the last scene was to make it as clear as possible that yes, Korra and Asami have romantic feelings for each other. The moment where they enter the spirit portal symbolizes their evolution from being friends to being a couple. Many news outlets, bloggers, and fans picked up on this and didn’t find it ambiguous. For the most part, it seems like the point of the scene was understood and additional commentary wasn’t really needed from Bryan or me. But in case people were still questioning what happened in the last scene, I wanted to make a clear verbal statement to complement the show’s visual one.

[...]

I’ve already read some heartwarming and incredible posts about how this moment means so much for the LGBT community. [...] As Tenzin says, “Life is one big bumpy ride.” And if, by Korra and Asami being a couple, we are able to help smooth out that ride even a tiny bit for some people, I’m proud to do my part, however small it might be.

I'm not sure they did "unambiguously" correctly, it still looks to me like they deliberately put enough plausible deniability in there so they could say "uhh... no?" if a Nick exec asked about it. But there you have it.

I know it's not a cartoon, but everyone should watch Peewee's playhouse on Netflix or whatever. It's the only show I liked as a kid that isn't thoroughly disappointing when I watch it now. Plus my 3 year old absolutely loves it, too. You can tell they spent some time doing the remasters. Other than the outdated effects it could've been made last year. Miss Yvonne looks really old in HD though, so if you had a big crush on her when you were a kid, prepare yourself for that.
