Well Gumball is the channel's second most reran show behind TTG (and is the most reran show this week, the week before the TTGopalypse)

They're not even gonna have new episodes of TTG on Fridays starting in January, unless they're being considered outside Newnewnewnew.

Yup, and apparently it's CN's most popular show in a lot of countries, well it or Ben 10 depending on the country Adventure Time and Regular Show never really took off quite as much internationally as both shows ran into censorship issues a lot

I have to imagine AT and the later seasons of Regular Show having continuity and Gumball having next-to-none has to do with their scheduling decisions, too.

E, E, and E is a show built entirely around punch-down "jokes" based around stereotypes-as-characters, including some super duper awesome ethnic ones, and it's a cynical and ugly show where everyone is a selfish rear end in a top hat trying to take advantage of everyone else. It's like if someone took Recess and removed all the charm and heart.

Okay, RS I get since it did rely on a lot of American humor and 80s references but I could've sworn I saw some pic a while back (granted I mean a while back) where a Japanese rail train was colored to look like Jake The Dog, I figured that'd be a good indicator if its popularity overseas. Also mentioning Regular Show reminded me that RS made a few of possibly the best Christmas episodes ever in animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ipt9HoQeY TwoPair fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Dec 25, 2017 |

https://twitter.com/zagtoon/status/945173288740900864 Or you could, y'know, concentrate on actually finishing the episodes already in production. (Jeremy Zag is the owner of the company that makes Miraculous - which pulled a scheduled new episode from broadcast in France a couple of weeks ago because they needed to redo some of the animation. The English dubbing is reportedly way behind schedule as well, which is probably why Netflix has delayed season 2; the weird thing is that the animation is lip-synced to English even though it's a French show, so you'd think they'd get that done first...)

I like EE&E visual humor, but the show did get quite worse the more it went on. Compare the first few episodes of the very first season to later on, and they're almost different shows. Specifically regarding Eddy. He became way more of a jerk and opportunist, constantly selling out the other Eds with no remorse as time went on. The show also got needlessly more violent, and even the other Eds who had nothing to do with Eddy's larger scams got the brunt of the punishments.

I will defend Ed Edd n' Eddy's Big Picture Show as like the genuinely best Cartoon Network movie they've ever done. The Eds are weirdly well-written in it?? There's character dynamics introduced that retroactively can be applied to their relationship throughout the entire show and it works really well. Plus you might not remember it, but the background work in that movie was gorgeous.

He may not be as smart as Mandark, but he is about half Mandark's Age. Dexter looks about 6, maybe 8 years old, while Mandark is more 12. By the time Dexter hits 12 he'll probably match Mandark as he is now, and keep on catching him up until he surpasses him while Mandark rests on his overly cocky laurels. He should have a bunch of Patents by his 20s at least, and not have to work for anyone else. That's why I appreciated the finale of Phineas and Ferb - they never stopped, because they cannot stop. It's long been established that their genius in an addiction - they can't not do something in the most creative possible way, they react very badly if they are prevented, so of course by late teens they have so many acceptance letters to every college in the loving world they are paralysed by choice, and in their 30s they are receiving awards and prizes abroad for all their ludicrous poo poo. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Ego Trip, but Dexter would never have let Mandark get that far, at the very least Monkey and Agent Honey would have put a stop to that poo poo.

Eh I always figured that Dexter and Mandark were the same age, Dexter is just short for his age and Mandark is tall for his(as for age I figure 9 to 10 sounds about right for them, with Dee Dee being 12 to 13, especially in the Chris Savino seasons where she definitely felt written as being a young teen) Also her name is Honeydew not Honey

I thought that they were going further and further into the future - From wimpy 20 year old dexter slaving under lovely boss Mandark, to Bearded Badass Dexter fighting Fat rear end in a top hat Mandark, eventually defeating him during Ego Trip and paving the way for Utopian Octogenarian Dexter chilling with Brain-in-a-Jar Mandark in his trophy room.

Wasn't kind of the point of Ego Trip, down to the name, is that while Dexter can and likely will accomplish great things he's massively shackled by his own colossal ego? And there's quite a few episodes demonstrating that despite his technical genius, Dexter has barely existent social skills and is likely to struggle once he has to actually start working. Hell, Deedee is practically his only real friend. There's a borderline Venture Bros thing going on with them all. Also, now I'm suddenly picturing Dexter and Mandark ending up in the Think Tank.

Hell, Deedee is practically his only real friend. There's a borderline Venture Bros thing going on with them all. Eh the show was highly inconsistent about how anti-social Dexter was, some episodes did have him as a friendless loser who barely comprehended anything that didn't have to do with science(indeed a common running gag and/or plot catalyst was Dexter misinterpreting some social or language construct and treating it literally and applying science to it with extreme results), while others treated him as a fairly normal(if nerdy) kid who just happened to have a funny accent and the knowledge to make the laws of physics his bitch Similarly the show was inconsistent about how dumb Dee Dee was(some episodes she was basically special needs, while others had her as relatively average in book smarts, but very wise in more emotional and social matters), or how old she was meant to come off(some episodes she'd act like a first grader, others like a teenager) TLDR: both Dexter and Dee Dee were written extremely inconsistently even by cartoon writing standards Mandark on the other hand was pretty consistent, the only real variable was how evil they'd depict him in a given episode(ranging from just wanting to one up Dexter in matters of science to wanting to rule the world as a vicious tyrant)

Dexter building killer robots to go back in time and kill Deedee because he was so angry about her being the one who saved the future always struck me as really weird and cruel even by Dexter's standards. That and the whole weird BDSM thing where adult Mandark was literally whipping a shirtless bound Dexter.
