The Ayshkerbundy posted:Mad was WB animation. Though yeah CN also gave the Kind of. But, I don't think Regular Show will be rebooted. It feels like it's going to end-end. Ben 10 will keep going forever. Scooby-Doo will keep going forever. I think that's the difference.

Regular Show ended, and Adventure Time is going to end in early 2018. It's the end of an era for Cartoon Network, but they'll do fine. Those two shows put them back on the map. I'm not sure whether I learned this from this thread or somewhere else, but The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack has quite the track record of people involved with the show doing other things. Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Over the Garden Wall were all created by people who worked on that show.

I need to go back and re-watch Flapjack as well as Chowder. I remember loving Chowder's super upbeat, bright and colorful world, and the grungy, and weird world of Flapjack. (I guess those kind of both did get endings, and weren't ever picked back up.) KND did, too. I don't know if those are from the same, new "era" as Regular Show, Adventure Time and SU. I'll always be sad we didn't get more Sym-Biotic Titan. THE HAMMER. Netflix' Voltron kind of eases that loss, though.

get that OUT of my face posted:Regular Show ended, and Adventure Time is going to end in early 2018. It's the end of an era for Cartoon Network, but they'll do fine. Those two shows put them back on the map. Yeah Flapjack is basically this era's Rocko's Modern Life or Mighty Mouse in that regard

Chowder and Flapjack are part of the pre-AT/RS era, they were more contemporary with Samurai Jack and were part of that bad old era where shows got murdered after 52 episodes and the person who was running CN hated cartoons and wanted to cram in lovely live-action wherever possible.

It cost Warner something like $2 million in a settlement to the city and was a huge black eye for their PR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_Mooninite_panic

I thought the PR takeaway from that was more "the city overreacted" than "Turner was irresponsible."

Hearing about the bomb scare on the radio and then coming home and seeing pictures of the "bombs" before it had been officially been revealed what they were was one of the most amusing moments of my entire life. I also, just by chance, saw the artists that were behind that do a DJ set and during it they played footage of them going around the city setting the Mooninites up, which was oddly rad.

Regular Show probably didn't deserve as much of a huge sendoff as it got, but it's nice that it got one all the same. Really meta and cheesy.

I got a spot at that new Butch Hartman cartoon Bunsen is a Beast and I know it's a show aimed at children but the humour was so bad that I don't even children would be entertained by it. Many jokes are overexplained (if they only require one line they get three or four) and the main antagonist has a very annoying spitty voice. Meanwhile I'm slowly binging through Danny Phantom and I like this show but I don't know if it's better with Hartman's style of storytelling. It's not a bland show but it's not as stylistically interesting as it could be and I think that's because Hartman's involvement.

I think I mentioned it way back, but IIRC they hired Stephen Silver to do designs and then decided "gently caress it, just do it all in Butch's formula". It was the completely wrong style both artistically and cinematographically for a show that wanted to attempt action/adventure.

Bunsen is a Beast isn't really a show I can't really devote to watching and keeping up with, but I do appreciate how very Nickelodeon the art style of the show is. Like with the exception of the flash/toon boom-esque animation of it, it would fit right in with the 90s Nickelodeon stuff. I also wouldn't have known it had anything to do with Butch Hartman had you guys not said anything. Danny Phantom really shouldn't have had Hartman's art style attached to it, because it really didn't work. That style worked great for Fairly Oddparents, since it was such a comedy driven and spastic colorful kids show. But Danny Phantom wanted to be a bit more serious with sort of an ongoing story. But there were too many ways the characters moved and looked and stuff that was too reminiscent of FOP. Plus so much of the show was very action oriented, and the FOP style is just too... stiff? fla? to really pull that off

Help me, General Kids Show Discussion Thread, you're my only hope. I think Star Wars Rebels is cool and good, so I tried watching a few Clone Wars (the CG one, animated one was great) episodes. I kind of hate it... I did some digging and apparently the whole series isn't even in chronological order, and people all recommend different jumping on points. I also found this list: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/05/the-essential-clone-wars-episodes-every-star-wars-fan-should-watch/ Is that a good place to start? Goons mostly have good taste, or at least bad taste in a similar way I do. Thanks

I think it's fine watching from the start, but earlier on, it was definitely rougher. It's got a bit of a different tone than Rebels, less focused on a single group of characters, and more vignettes. I've never heard of the series being out of chronological order though, you can pretty clearly see a progression both in story and the series's growth as a whole. There are a few flashback episodes though, set before the series began. That being said, there's something neat about watching series all out of order and disorganized like it was on TV. Every so often I wish I could set a DVD or one of these internet services on shuffle rather than go through linearly every time.

So, Transformers Prime. I'm just over forty episodes in and loving it again. The first time I watched it I only went through the first season and then fell off, so it's nice to be finally closing the book. I said before how good Arcee and Starscream are but Ratchet is performed wonderfully and Knock-Out's great too. It's a not a perfect show. The inclusion of the kid trio is awkward for the first season and you can only have so many "Is he gonna die?s" before I get annoyed, but this is a lot of what I want from the Transformers so

I'm angry how clearly the regular show ending was written to be that they died then 15 billion years later would win the next fight by remembering instead of the glitch in time nonsense they did to return to the same battle.

I saw it. It was cute and funny but felt extremely derivative of AT's humor. Kinda disappointing because other shorts by that particular person have been way more interesting. Like this https://vimeo.com/46233381 axelblaze fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Feb 3, 2017 |

Like every episode of Regular Show was a simple low key problem ending in a wacky over the top confrontation so I think the impression that it was ever anything else and where it ended up is any different is what's confusing me.

They flew between the fists, so time reset but it was broken and hosed up because nobody existed but them. It was pretty unambiguous that way, if anything was clear it was that it was a parody of the "reset button" series endings.

I think the real peak was when they went to Planet Nielsen to hear about how their show was rated, but the whole planet was devastated by streaming wiping out most of the physical media, as well as taking over from normal broadcast. Got me to wondering what most content creators feel about streaming services taking over. I don't think they pay residuals like syndication does. I was disappointed that there wasn't an SD card dude though. Also, the Amazing World of Gumball is still great.
