Yeah, I was just thinking that I'm pretty glad Cartoon Network are the ones that picked up Adventure Time over Nick. Maybe it would have been the same show but it's hard to say for sure.

Thompsons posted:Outside of the first run of Ren and Stimpy and the Plastic Man pilot, did John K EVER do anything else worthwhile? Everything I can think of is also at least kind of creepy (though I have a soft spot for the video for gently caress Her Gently, though that easily falls into the kinda creepy catagory)

The thing with John K is he's just such a creepy rear end in a top hat that it's hard to even like his good stuff. Like even you can overcome how creepy he is, you still have the fact that he has a bullheaded, dumb, limiting outlook on his own medium. Early Ren and Stimpy is really good but just, ugh, gently caress that guy. On a completely unrelated note, tonight's Gumball was pretty weird. this season in general has been indicating that the show is really hitting it's stride.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought Uncle Grandpa was pretty terrible. It just seemed to be how many random, wacky things they could cram into an episode and that was about it.

muscles like this? posted:One thing I really like about Teen Titans Go is how infrequently they actually do any superheroing. More often than not its just the team hanging out at the tower getting into a bunch of bullshit, like tonight's episode where the whole thing was just an argument between Beast Boy and Cyborg about whether burgers or burritos were better. Yeah, it actually reminds me of Venture Brothers in that the actual action packed part of their lives is secondary to the mundane bullshit of their day to day (taken to an extreme level of course). I really do like it way more than I was expecting to.

raditts posted:Whether you like it is up to personal preference, but it's the best thing they've done with the characters in years. I like the show, but this also ruled. TheWorldIsSquare posted:The Looney Tunes Show was almost a good show, except for loving Daffy. He's basically Ethan from CAD, even down to Bugs regurgitating Lucas-like quotes. I don't know, I can see some similarities but I've known people like Daffy and he closer to the egotistical slackers I've known that have no idea that people despise them than the wacky monkey cheese hero that everyone loves for some reason. Plus the writing is actually good and saying someone is basically a CAD character but with good writing is like saying they are nothing like a CAD character.

In this weeks Teen Titans Go I liked how Silky was the minister for no real reason. I also liked how incredibly happy Starfire was to be matched up with a scratching post.

It's weird to complain that there's no Saturday morning cartoons anymore when the reason they went away is because there's like 5 networks that show nothing but kid's shows, plus on top of that you have streaming stuff and a bunch of stuff just on Youtube. It's not like there aren't a crapload of options for a kid wanting to watch stuff after school.

Glass of Milk posted:The only bizarre thing in that episode was the little 10 second end bit with Starfire- I guess they had a couple extra seconds to fill? Yeah, I have no idea what the deal with that was. It seemed almost like a play on the end of A Midsummer Night's Dream but only in the way she talked to audience rather than content so I just don't know.

Gaunab posted:I've been watching Mystery Inc. on Netflix and it's really good. Probably the best Scooby Doo series I've seen. Really hope they put up the second season soon. That series is really weird to me because it's Scooby Doo yet I enjoy it, which is a sensation I am not used to experiencing (though, in fairness, I remember A Pup Named Scooby-Doo being better than it had any right to be, though it was still not a show I'd call good).

It's not just that, it's that the characters are actually well written and treated given interesting characteristics. Like all the characters are still their Scooby Doo selves but they actually put a few more dimensions on top of the typical one that the gang usually have. I like the characters in this Scooby Doo while in every other incarnation it was pretty much impossible to give a crap about them.

Gumball is a show that has definitely gotten progressively better as it's gone on. It started pretty typically with just it's weird style but they've had some truly great, weird episodes.

I like to think Mad lost something when it started accepting ads. It could just be taht it happened right around the time I was at an age where Mads hmor didn't appeal to me anymore but it really did seem to go drastically downhill at that point.

SlothfulCobra posted:I like the Powerpuff Girls, but every time I see an old IP being dredged up and revived, I kinda wish they would just let it rest. Craig McCracken left after the movie to work on Fosters and the drop in quality is really dramatic. I rewatched the whole series recently and the later episodes aren't the worst thing in the world, but man I've never seen a show where the someone leaving was so obvious.

Drawn Together was a show that was half funny and clever and then that half was dragged down by the other half trying it's darnedest to be edgy and offensive. Total Drama whatever just is bland as all the other Canadian shows and plays it's premise straight, with the only thing even remotely interesting about it being that it tries to appeal to a slightly older audience than most kid's shows.

Phylodox posted:So, I just finished the first season of Scooby-Doo!: Mystery Incorporated and...wow! What a great show! And I say that as someone who normally hates Scooby-Doo and everything to do with him! I haven't watched enough of that show but watching it is a baffling experience because it's Scooby Doo, yet it's well written and I'm enjoying it. I really like it but watching it confuses my brain. Also, really late in saying this but I thought that Powerpuff special was pretty good, but ironically not that special. I liked the animation alot but plotwise it just felt like a normal episode of the Powerpuff Girls. While this isn't a bad thing it's also weird that they resurrected the franchise to tell this story that I'd probably would barely be able to remember if it were part of the original run of the show.

Ah man, you gave my hopes up. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make the special to test the waters to see how viable it would be to resurrect the franchise, but I have no actual evidence that that's the case. It just seems odd to bring back a long dead show with a brand new animation style and redesigned characters to just do a half an hour episode that that doesn't really have a plot that sticks out from a normal episode of the show (other than having a former Beatle in it).

The first time I watched UG, I sorta hated it but I gave it another shot recently and maybe they were better episodes but I liked it alot more. I still didn't like it enough to go out of my way to watch it mind you but it was pretty okay. Pizza Steve is the best though.

raditts posted:What idiot thinks toy cartoons are dead? Pokemon is a shameless advertisement for the video games that's been going strong for almost two decades now. I have no loving idea how they're still making new episodes of that poo poo when it stopped being even remotely entertaining years ago, or why Ash hasn't aged at all. This indicates that is was ever interesting. It's pretty much the same poo poo it's always been, you just got older. Fortunately for 4kids and Nintendo, there is a never ending of new kids to get interested in that crap. As long as the games are popular, the cartoon will probably continue.

TwoPair posted:Okay this poo poo has gone too far. As a guy who grew up in the 90s I know I'm partially to blame, but this most recent wave of nostalgia-based programming is just bananas. Going back a bit, it says in the article why. Netflix has the rights to the show and it's the most popular educational show on the service. They see there is a potential demand so they're filling it.

I don't think they need the original people to do it, just people that actually understand the show and keep it weird as gently caress while being on the edge or disturbing (and actually remember to make it silly too).

Mental illness is sort of a pretty good excuse though. There's no excuse for him not seeking the help he needs and going into situations where he could be harmful knowing that he might not be able to control himself, but mental illness is the sort of thing that does serve as a pretty good explanation for things.

For me it just changes the whole thing so now it's just sad on all sides rather than a thing where we get really angry and talk poo poo about a guy for being an rear end in a top hat. Now I just hope he gets the help that he needs and maybe someday he can lead a normal life. I'm obviously not defending what he did, but if he truly wasn't really in control of his actions, it is just kind of sad that this has basically caused him to lose everything (which I'm not saying is the wrong course of action at all).
