My little boy really likes Go Jetters on CBeebies, and I'm finding a fair bit of amusement that the just-started second season is playing with the formula established in the first enough to take the piss out of itself. (They've also upped their game on the lighting and environmental CG effects as well - the scenery is really pretty.)

It is not a show that has aged particularly well. It also doesn't help that they're only showing from a selection of like 10 episodes.

The newest episode of Ben 10 takes place at an amusement park. This is all fine and good until you realize it's the exact same amusement park that a previous episode took place at, so I guess on this road trip, they just went to the same place twice?

But seriously, that's basically what I was thinking. Most cartoon-to-movie adaptations suffer because they're trying to drag out a typically 22 minute plot into a feature film. TTG is gonna face the even bigger problem of dragging out an 11 minute premise into a movie. TwoPair fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Sep 26, 2017 |

For some reason I started thinking about two kids shows that I used to like, one a school-based comedy that basically feels like "Scrubs but in a School" called Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. I remember enjoying it because it felt like a live action cartoon with ridiculous sets, like a locker with an entire secret passage in the back wall that a character would use when shoved in his locker. It even had a Wacky Janitor. I remember it being a lot of fun. The other was a mystery story about a black hole in a science classroom, Strange Days at Blake Holsey High. While goofy as gently caress, it liked to throw out plot points in some episodes that would disappear for a while, only to suddenly become relevant to the overarcing plot, with the underlying threat of Pearadyne Industries, a neighboring facility that had an enormous accident decades ago, and it's founder Victor Pearson who works with the headmistress to cover things up. The Black Hole is basically there to make weird poo poo happen that's vaguely relevant to what the science teacher is teaching that day, some of it interesting some of it outright nonsense. If directly entered the Black hole allows travel to multiple points in time: The schools founding, the accident in the 70s, and the present day, and maybe more I can't recall. I thought that most of what it brought up got used in interesting ways later, there was the clone (that Josie made by accident by putting her DNA on a live petri dish, the black hole accelerated things. The Janitor took her away for reasons that are revealed later), the chi-ball (went back in time through the black hole and in doing so lost all friction becoming a source of infinite energy), and Pearadyne itself. These plot points came together with the reveal that The Janitor actually comes from the future, and took the clone to a point in the future where she could learn how to protect the timeline like he does. The Janitor, however, is from so far in the future that even she cannot fathom it despite being flung quite far by him herself. It's like she went to 4000 AD but he comes from 10000AD. Her role in the rest of the story is to make sure that the Chi ball, which Josie keeps stealing from Victor, gets back to Victor because he will use it to make an amazing future that must be protected. When Josie successfully gets it back in a way that she can't fix, she ends up in an alternate timeline where the school is abandoned and the city nearby is in ruins. End of Season 2. Whoops. It did get a miniseason afterwards to finish off the story completely so it wasn't a complete cliffhanger. What did everyone else think of those shows?

I liked Same Days. It was good. The short lived Tower Prep, which also came out during that sane strange period as Ned's Declassified, had that same sort of overarching plot as Strange Days mixed with regular day to day weirdness except instead of weird future science, it's super powers.

I liked that really dumb episode where the school got a cold (Marshall is working on a server system for the students laptops, he has a cold, he sneezes and the black hole turns it into a computer virus and infects the server, which in turn infects the school building because it's plugged in  ), it was entirely written just as an excuse to slime the headmistress, although I also liked the ticking clock - of all the symptoms of a cold, like the aforementioned air vents getting clogged noses and sneezing on the principal, what could the worst possible combination? The Furnace has a Fever. Better cure the school before it explodes! That one was the dumbest one by far, but it was hilarious.

Tower Prep would have worked had it not come out in CN's ill-advised "CN Real" period. Put it on another network and it would have been a big hit, I think.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a lot of networks that would have picked it up and kept it as it was. I think both Disney and Nick have their own superhero style shows, but they're more structured like multi-camera sitcoms rather than something akin to The Sarah Jane Adventures. I assume Dini also had enough clout with CN to get it greenlit anyways. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of places that would greenlight a series like that without making it more mature (for channels like CW, Freeform or MTV) or more comedic (for channels like Nick or Disney) and while I think the former would've been better than the latter, it wouldn't have quite been the same. Edit: Looking up the producers for the show, it looks like they got to do another series for BBC America, but it also lasted a single season. Dini, meanwhile is still getting some writing work based off of his IMDB. Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Sep 26, 2017 |

I don't think the Teen Titans Go movie will be remotely good but I do think it will be fairly profitable. Merchandising! Toy sales! Fast food restaurant children's meal toys! With the short time frame between announcement and release date, it sounds like this is being made now, which means the budget will be the value of 7 or 8 TV episodes plus whatever guest voices are willing to take an easy job plus marketing. Even if the movie flops it'll be cheap enough to make some scratch in the long run.

I never really watched Strange Days on account of only catching one-off episodes every now and then, so the overarching plot was kind of incomprehensible and I just avoided it after a while. It did seem really interesting, just that tv scheduling was conspiring against me. kefkafloyd posted:Tower Prep would have worked had it not come out in CN's ill-advised "CN Real" period.

With all the sitcoms, it would've been nice to see more shows with action and mysteries.

It did seem really interesting, just that tv scheduling was conspiring against me. Yeah, I first saw Strange Days and Shaman King when I got the pilots on DVDs that were found in UK Cereal boxes promoting the Fox Kids channel. Went back and watched the subbed (to avoid 4Kids censorship issues, same reason as Cardcaptor Sakura) version of Shaman King years later and despite Chocolove's terrible character (design, I thought he was a likable fellow he was just drawn like a terrible black caricature and named badly due to Japan) I thought it was a solid story. I liked that the characters initially got bigger and meaner powers, only for the final stage of the superpowers to be "You're wasting too much energy with these giant weapons, concentrate the energy better" - it meant the final battle was basically just a high-stakes sword fight between Hao and Yoh which was much more satisfying. Just two dudes with swords having a grudge match. There was a cute side-visual where Mort and Hao's sidekick, a young african boy who's power was turning into a sheep for some reason, stood on the sidelines watching the fight and talking about their respective friends. No fighting between them, they didn't care about what had happened, they were just watching, each hoping their guy would win but not begrudging the other one for being on the "wrong" side. A friendly debate to contrast with a brutal swordfight. Spoiled a little with some generic "Character loses but comes back with power of friendship" but still a decent way for the show to go out.

I think it's mitigated by the fact that Yoh didn't so much lose as he had the poo poo (and his soul) beaten out of him The fact it aired on uk tv as it did was something of a small, horrific, miracle.
