I wish someone would replay Batman Beyond.. that was a teenage superhero done right. :/

Strange Matter posted:

As for Flapjack, there's an episode where he finds a pet rat that infects people with the plague. It was like watching Ren and Stimpy all over again.

This show was everything an action cartoon should be. I guess it was canceled, but who knows.

Fishylungs posted:

It and Wolverine and the X-Men were canned, Disney apparently has their own plans for both franchises. In the case of Spider-man, it's a new show based on Ultimate Spider-man.

Nearly every time anyone moves at all, it is accompanied by a whip crack sound effect.

Johnny Test is probably the worst non-anime thing on that channel.

Adventure Time is as great as it should be

People may hate on it for not being "dark and edgy" but Batman: The Brave and the Bold is loving awesome. Silver Age Batman is just as good as crazy, brooding Batman

I think they started to explode in popularity after Kung-Fu Panda. But I think Skunk-fu predates that movie.

I heard somewhere that Nickelodeon was looking into a Monsters Vs. Aliens series as well.

The thing that made me love Phineas and Ferb right off the bat was the end of their theme song.

"MOM! Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!"

The first time I heard that, I laughed out loud. That line alone is a perfect example of the show's style of humor.

Meeble posted:

Why in the gently caress does Cartoon Network air Johnny Test so much? Seriously, everytime I go past that channel there is a 50% chance that show is on. Is it really that popular?

IRQ posted:

That's from Canada?

Please take it back and never let it leave your borders again.

I know that Animaniacs gets a lot of praise, and I loved it as a kid, but as an adult the show just makes me uncomfortable. It has this sort of proto-internet sense of humor

George Takei as an evil, sentient heart (with a tiny little butt for no reason) has ensured I'm pretty much going to watch every episode until it's canceled.

If only they'd cancel that show, Johnny Test, and Garfield, I'd be a happy camper--oh, and while they're at it, those two Flash-animated teenager shows, too.

Tartarus Sauce posted:

Oh, and you guys changed the title of Beast Wars to Beasties, and you got your panties in a twist over the Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles and Michelangelo's nunchuks.

I love you, Canada, but sometimes, you make it very, very hard.

Only thing I can find is wiki articles about a bunch of episodes that aired overseas and not in the us, and this quote from Everything2:

Daggett: "Norbie? What happens when you're...over?"
Norbert: "Oh, it's not so bad. If the cartoon's good, even if it isn't, it's rerun-incarnated!"
Dag: "Ooh...does that hurt?"
Norb: "No... Only when you get the later checks. The Cartoon-Being-Over Guys rerun it over and over and they make lots of well deserved money."
Dag: "Which they share with the people who made the cartoon, right?"
Norb: (laughs uproariously) "Right. So you see it's all for the better."
Dag: "Right!"
Norb: "Even though we're vanishing we'll be back over and over again at virtually no cost to the Network!"

...What? Why? Is it costing too much to produce or something? Or do they just LOVE to take a giant dump on the few people foolish enough to have faith in CN?

IRQ posted:

It seems like CN and Nick only do like 3 seasons of any show then can them for no reason. The only exceptions I can think of are those cash cow live action tween sitcom shows where they make the lead also do really lovely autotuned music.

Yeah, he's not a very good Yogi. He says average instead of a-ver-age.

Bets on next old cartoon/comic strip movie anyone? My money's still on Cathy.

You'll never guess what adult Chowder is called in the credits.

Man Chowder

No, I'm not kidding.

Tartarus Sauce posted:

And, they probably think they're following in the proud footsteps of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery.

The thing is, Tweety and Sylvester, Road Runner and Coyote, Elmer and Bugs--they're all interesting, sympathetic characters we can relate to, and who are each motivated by nothing less than life, death, and honor.

Kid vs. Kat is just two petty douchebags duking it out.

...of SCIENCE! posted:

The whole reason all those 80s shows were made in the first place is because previous laws relating to advertising to children were changed so they could make half-hour toy commercials. The fact that such shows are "beloved" is a testament to how effective and insidious such marketing is.

Also, on a related note, Wikipedia has a lot of way-too-detailed-and-academic episode write-ups for P&F

Toonzone posted some info on the cast of Robotomy. Most of the page is about Adventure time though.

Robotomy will premiere on Cartoon Network on Monday, October 25

But Double Dare? That and Family Feud and...I think one or two game shows on Nick my mother forbid me to watch because they were too stupid. I mean, sure, I watched them anyways, but she totally snarked them. Come on, "what follows after 'Baa, baa black sheep?'" and none of the teams could get it. Even at like eight I could tell the shows were that lame.

Robotonomy is basically Superjail with Robots instead of people and a high school instead of jail.
