ConanThe3rd posted:Ok, what's this I hear about Elmo's puppeteer apparently having a sexual relationship with a teenage boy?! Elmo's puppeteer is a gay man who had a relationship some years ago with, who he says, was a man of legal age. However, the accuser says he was 16 at the time of the relationship. Sesame Street looked into it, and they found no evidence of an under-age relationship ever occurring. The only thing they found was that he was using company computers to send e-mails, wrote him up for misconduct use of the Internet, and then allowed him to take his own personal short leave. They didn't fire him or anything like that, just allowed to take some time off before people tried to drag his name through the mud. Long short story: Sesame Street ruled he did nothing wrong and that it was false accusations.

Sockser posted:I think this owns but I'm not sure Rest assured, this owns. I don't even watch this generation of Power Rangers, but holy poo poo, this is cool. I knew I was in for something special when they did Abbey Road at the beginning, and the green ranger didn't have his boots on. Also, holy poo poo. Bulk? Is he still doing this poo poo? Or did they just bring him in for this? edit: Wikipedia tells him that he just came back to the show in 2011 after being gone 1999, and that he does some animation direction here and there. So, it's cool he's landing work. Also, he's best friends with Jason Narvy (Skull), so that's pretty  .

But then I realize that it's just another season of this stuff over in Japan, not some grand beginning to the franchise. Also, holy crap, some of those Ranger designs would've translated terribly to American audiences. Because I don't think every one of those incarnations has made it's way to the States, right?

What's most surprising is that it got beyond the storyboard phase and the CN people actually had to reject a completed episode. I guess their s&p practices were different back then.

There many things wrong with "SheZow", but promoting transgenderism is not one of them.readingatwork posted:I think the worst part of all of this is going to be liberals loving the show just to spite conservatives. You can already see it starting to happen in the comments sections of various news sites: Oh my god, that post is hilarious. I especially loved the "I hope it's on PBS" part. Yes, it would work great there. Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, Sesame Street, and then a preteen-aimed action cartoon. edit: Well would you look at that, in one feel swoop I find myself hating both conservatives and liberals.

Sockser posted:Now see, this is a lot like She-zow where I want to be like, "oh yeah cool great job guys really paving the way there" but it's such a lovely loving show that I can't bring myself to care at all. Regardless of the show's quality, it's a progressive step forward. From what the article says it seems like the characters will just be parents who happen to be a lesbian couple. This is good because it'll show children at an early age that same-sex couples are no different from their families, they have play-dates, they have kids of their own, and they engage in story-lines that are devoid of mentioning the fact that they are gay.

Netflix has the first two seasons of Digimon Adventure both subbed and dubbed. Hulu has just the first season. Or maybe it's the other way around, but I think I'm right. I just finished a binge of seasons 1 and 2, and it wasn't bad. It's interesting to watch it because it came out at a time when anime was so cut for young audiences that things could really change. A character would "die", but the music and character's reactions would seem like they did. Also, watch the occasional episode of the Japanese subbed version after you watch the episode in English. It's cool to see the differences sometimes. And I will admit, there was the occasional line that got a laugh out of me. That show tackled some issues. It had adoption, divorce, sibling death. Digimon died, yo. Though, really they would be reborn later.

Sockser posted:I've always been curious about the super-poo poo-tier anime that Cartoon Network would air at 6am just to see what stuck. Bedamon and Bakugan and Beyblade and there were more that didn't succeed and it was just really loving weird to me. Obviously trying to catch the magic of Pokemon but without promoting it as far as I could tell. Just put these things on in the wee hours of the morning and uhhh it happened? For a while my wife had work super-early and when I got back from taking her I would always check out those same lovely animes. None of them made any sense and the only real differences was whatever the show's signature collectable was. The one I remember most was Bakugan and, even after the surprising amount of episodes I saw, that I had no loving clue how that game was supposed to work.

All I ever see of Cracked nowadays are links to "5 REASONS YOUR DOG IS MORE SEXIST THAN YOU THINK HE IS" or something. That is literally what it is now, and a few Photoshop contests. Though it's still good reading from time to time for good movie and comic trivia, and the like. It's come a long way from being the poor-man's Mad and making KKK jokes in their Casper parody.

Zombie Samurai posted:Is this part of the general wacky-fying going on over at Cartoon Network? Because I'm pretty sure I don't like it. Johnny Test is definitely not the standard for CN. Sure, it suckage may count for a great deal. But there's Adventure Time, Regular Show, Amazing World of Gumball, Uncle Grandpa, and Stephen Universe. There's also Teen Titans Go!, which moves almost as fast as Johnny Test, but is a much, much better show. The new Loony Toons Show is really good too, when they want to air it. And while I'm on a ramble, find a way to watch the two-season Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc., it's amazing. So... I guess my point is, if you can wade through all the cheap programming like Johnny Test and whatever Lego series is on, you can find some pretty good stuff.

Do all of their complete series DVDs literally just have the DVD case and then the DVDs are just in disc envelopes sitting in a slot in the case? Because if so I will probably never buy anything from them again. I do not believe that Street Sharks is deserving of more presentation than that.

TwoPair posted:Well I guess I'll eat my words. I didn't know Netflix even got much use as an educational service, which is why I thought bringing the show back on Netflix specifically rather than PBS or... some other distribution I can't think of was silly. But I guess if people actually do use Netflix to show kids educational content instead of regular ol' cartoons, well then good on them for coming back, I guess. You're also forgetting that, besides being educational, Magic School Bus was just an awesome show. It's definitely a perfect mix of education and entertainment. Since we'll have to accept the horrible fact that Lily Tomlin might not be the Friz again, who would be a good substitute? (  ) My guess? Maya Rudolph.

Since he's literally been the voice of Fred in every single piece of Scooby-Doo animation except for "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo". That is a fact that I find loving bonkers.

Sithsaber posted:Are you seriously telling me that you'd rather have a million filler episodes created by man of action instead of rad randomness and soda six packs? CN should be given to Pendleton Ward, not the backer of generator rex. Now I know you're crazy. When you're doing a 25+ episodes a season show like Ben 10, some of those are filler episodes. And that's okay. Because it's a children's action/adventure cartoon. Every episode of every cartoon you like has a ton of filler episodes. "Rad randomness" would become very unenjoyable if that was the only thing available. I want my own Omnitrex.  edit: Acquire Currency! posted:My issue is you calling Regular Show and Gumball bad.
