Corek posted:Cow and Chicken was already being phased out when I started watching CN as a kid. I think it was the first of the Cartoon Cartoons to end. You'd be correct: Looking it up, the final episode of Cow and Chicken premiered in late July '99 (I think it was after the show ended that I Am Weasel spun off into it's own show where the episodes of it's cow and chicken run were combined into individual half hours while a further 9 half hours worth of episodes were produced) In an alternate reality where Dexter's Lab never got revived Dexter's Lab technically would've been the 2nd to go (the final episode of Tartakovsky's run was in summer of '98 (before powerpuff girls premiered) while Ego Trip was december '99)

The 1970's had the teenager and wacky character sloving mysteries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjALTeULI4 The 1980's had the more mercenary buy the toy cartoons which was a sad waste of potential. I think cartoons like ren and stimpy, rocko, simpsons, bevis and butthead, southpark. They are remembered fondly cause they were subversive at the time. Adventure time really changed the way CN does stuff and really kicked off alot of good cartoons in my opinion.

Seriously I'm trying to think of a common thread but I can't think of anything The 00s was when anime and live-action tween sitcoms ruled everything for kids. If anything I'd think animation in the 00s was most characterized by adult animation becoming more of a thing with Adult Swim, Family Guy, South Park getting an Academy Award nomination, huge animation communities and fandoms bevoming a thing online, etc.

The 00s was a time of a lot of really weird failed experiments that people either forgot or actively tried to forget existed (My Gym Partner's Monkey, Class of 3000, Squirrel Boy), many of which were trying really hard to be the next Spongebob, but somehow thinking that the best way to imitate it was to make everything as shrill and loud as possible at all times.

I think themes of the 2010s are looking like colorful, chaotic fantasy and/or sci-fi mashups, tonal shifts from wacky to deadly serious to touchy-feely, and awkward romances.

They were supposed to be rivals, but for some reason they were friends and he didn't mind her helping him in the lab. You can't bring back a show and change what it is, totally defeats the purpose of bringing it back.

Not to mention the 80's trend of giving every popular sitcom a cartoon, often with completely asspulled sci-fi themes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtW6wS3z97Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sGOfWP2bWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjH7zh_vg0E

I'll admit I actually didn't mind that change too much, indeed I think Dee Dee improved a little due to the retooling as she became a little less dumb in the process

FilthyImp posted:Robonic Stooges As a kid I loved the Three Stooges and the cartoons were super depressing because they were either bookended with live-action bumpers starring frail, elderly Moe and Larry and the really lovely Curly replacement who wouldn't actually let them hit them all trying their best to do slapstick and just looking really sad and old in the process or they were made after all the stooges had died so they were voiced by sound-alikes.

I watched a couple of eps of the new PPG today and I don't see the fuss. I mean, it certainly is by no means fantastic, but it is also not near as bad as the internet seems to have exaggerated. I guess this is just the Teen Titans Go effect of "Remake my childhood cartoons in a way that's not flawless, huh? OH IT'S loving ON NOW." I do still really dislike the new opening, and the fact that the modern 11-minute format seems to have killed the "The day is saved" bookends because sometimes they'd do a clever gag with those. Oh well, maybe it'll get better with age like some shows do, maybe it'll fade into the ether like others.

I like the opening but it does kind of smack of that kind of overcompensating punch-up to appeal to the younger, hipper generation that would have manifested in the '90s in the form of classic characters tossing on a pair of shades and rocking a boombox (possibly also rapping).

I really, REALLY like the long version of the opening, but I think the short TV-version is just whatever. I thought the episode that aired last night where they become really old was pretty good. So far the good episodes have been the ones with Mojo in them. Edit: On the other hand, I just watched today's episode, and while it was otherwise good, god loving dammit.

'Anybody have any predictions on what the trend for children's' programming will be by and through the 20's? I'm guessing the trend of shorter length episodes will continue. Will kids even watch traditional television by then?

Will kids even watch traditional television by then? IMO, the good stuff will drown based on a former soft drink marketing executive's idea of what works. The current Renaissance is due in large part to Adventure Time being a success and studios throwing shows at everyone who worked on it, down to the tea boy. If the next show to sell so much merchandise is some action Transformers rip-off that is a bad show, bad shows abound for five years until the next success. Of course, I live in hope (and do what I modestly can to contribute) that the next financial success is a good show.

It's weird to compare this to We Bare Bears, but WBB is so much better in this regard. WBB has tons of references to viral videos and other silly internet phenomena, but they handle it so much more gracefully and realistically than new-PPG does. New-PPG's use of internet memes and youth slang seems like it was made by the same marketing executives who designed "totally radical" characters in the 90s.
