I didn't watch new Gumball, but I did watch new Clarence. It's always a heartwarming and cute show, but this one was particularly so.

It was great, and it's gonna be one of those episodes of the show people will remember as their favorite. This is the closest Clarence will ever delve into romance, but it's nice to know he handled the talking-on-the-phone-with-a-girl-for-hours phase a lot better than I did at that age.

Yeah, when they first showed the pilot for Clarence, I actually got mad at how boring it was, and that went over into the advertising, which I thought looked awful, but then the show comes along and it's quite good. Even the pilot's good, though I don't know how much of that is the original pilot and how much is expansion.

If you grew up poor (like I did), Clarence is the most relatable cartoon ever.

Didn't they discard the entire concept of him being 'hard to find' and just have him be a generic problem-solving adventurer on various different-than-Earth worlds? And wasn't there an evil version of Waldo, possibly called Odlaw? The only episode I remember the details of, he went to a future-world and tried to cheer up an old robot that was being retired/scrapped because it didn't have wifi connectivity like all the new robots. (So, of course, that robot is the only one still online to save the day when the wifi crashes)

I remember they had very simple Where's Waldo puzzles for when they went to commercial, and then showed where he was when they came back. I bet that at least one kid suffered some kind of eye damage leaping up to stare at the screen three times an episode.

Did anyone here watch Filmore! when it was on? I loved that cartoon. It was a police procedural set in a middle school, but all the plots were as high stakes in presentation as an actual procedural, with my favourite one-off character being a Hannibal Lecter homage, a mad graffiti artist. There was a great joke where he smuggled in half a crayon one day and escaped when being transferred to the usual detention classroom. "This is what he did to the third floor bathroom. *Shows photo, everyone dryheaves*" That show was great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxWCc_eLLXI The Intro

The only thing I remember is that they created a Britain-specific dub (same voice actors), because the books -- which originated here -- are called Where's Wally. "Odlaw" was still a thing, mind.

I remember there was an episode that was a parody of Die Hard where Fillmore was trapped at school overnight by a gang of kids who wanted to steal the answers to a test. That show was pretty clever.

Fillmore was pretty clever, I remember really liking the chief character. The image of the bicycle going off the side of the cliff during the opening still makes me chuckle. The amount of clubs this school had was absurd.

Fillmore is one of my all time favourite cartoons and I still can't get over how incredibly huge and well financed that school was or how Don LaFontaine did the voiceover for every episode title

Yeah, that show was oddly well done, and just overall odd. I'm pretty sure I was just over the intended demographic when it was on, and it was just a barrage of cultural references that I didn't get. There's no way an 8-year-old kid would understand all the buddy cop tropes that were the series' backbone. One episode I specifically remember was where 'spending time with the wife' was replaced with 'dinner with the family', which had to be canceled because hall monitor duty. That and Dave the Barbarian were two surprisingly good shows coming out of Disney at the time.

Considering "showrunner of TWD" at this point is, at best, a figurehead position (the show's creative direction is being run by a combination of Kirkman in the writer's room and AMC), not really.

There's one joke from Dave the Barbarian that really sticks with me because it's so obviously written close to the heart, where Dave demands to know how to progress in the video game he's stuck with. "Talk to everyone." "Seriously, that's it?"

I'll always remember Dave the Barbarian because I thought the themesong would make for a really funny AMV set to Evangelion footage.

One of the cool things about Clarence is that every character has a positive aspect about them. Except for Belsom, of course. He's a little poo poo. Even Ms. Baker is humanized, and it's rare to see a teacher character like that in a kids' show.

As a kid, I always greatly enjoyed it when adults, especially antagonistic adults, got humanized on kids' shows. The Recess movie, Hey Arnold, post-Etemon Digimon, Ratburn-focused episodes of Arthur, all that good stuff. That was probably because I grew up mostly with adults (aunts and uncles), most of whom were teachers.

Also the episodes of Recess that focused on the adults, like the one where Spinelli spent a week with Mrs. Finster

I usually only get to watch cartoons these days when I'm looking after a friend's place as I don't have my own television setup at home and thusly just stream stuff. That said: -Gumball fuckin' owns. Probably the best thing I've seen on CN since Ed, Edd, and Eddy. -I read back about 15 pages to see if a question had already been recently answered and in that I got clued into Mystery Incorporated, so thank you for that--definitely will have to check it out! The question I'm trying to solve is: to watch Miraculous eps on Nickelodeon it seems I need a TV provider, which, well, no TV. Are there any hints of it making way to hulu or netflix or some other service I can just subscribe to directly? -Gumball fuckin' owns (it bears repeating.)

Gumball owns and it's somehow getting better and better. That love episode was just fantastic. If it didn't exist in the same era as SU and AT it would be easily the best cartoon currently and honestly it seems to be getting there always.

Gumball's great because they somehow manage to keep getting away with stuff like this.  Hope no kids ask their parents what that's referencing! It's the butt judge from The Wall.
