http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/cartoon-network-we-bare-bears-1201568431/ Cartoon Network has ordered a second season of We Bare Bears. They seem to hand out renewals like candy. Gumball got renewed for a fifth season months before season 3 finished airing, and likewise Steven Universe had a third season ordered before the first season finished airing.

Jsor posted:Someone at Cartoon Newtork had to have been a Puffy AmiYumi fanboy/fangirl or something. It felt like they were everywhere for a bit: they had their own show (well, a show based on them), they did the Teen Titans theme song. A lot of their stuff was on the little spots and commercials they had between shows. It was kinda weird. Not even necessarily bad, just... strange. I can only imagine that it was Time Warner's brief and extremely poorly executed attempt to have their own kids' TV stars like Disney does.

mycot posted:I definitely noticed that period of overwhelmingly jerk based comedy (and the deliberate rejection of it that seems to be going on these days), but I still have no clue what was the cause or reason of it. Was it just the general zeitgeist? Did Mascots with Tude end up turning into mascots that are giant assholes? Is there some massively popular character/show in that time period that I'm forgetting? I don't know. The Fairly Oddparents, maybe?

Another strike against Bee and Puppycat, at least to me, is the art direction. I liked it in the pilot, but the changes in the actual episodes were not to my liking.

xcheopis posted:I have finally caught up with all but the latest Wander Over Yonder and I love it. (The shorts were hilarious, especially 'The Glitch'.) Wander Over Yonder really is great. I'd put it in the top tier of kids' shows on now, up there with Gravity Falls and Steven Universe. It's easy to dismiss it after watching the first couple episodes, but it finds its footing pretty quickly and season 2 has just been fantastic so far. "The Wanders" from last night might be my favorite episode of the show.

icantfindaname posted:Disney shows other than Gravity Falls, including Kim Possible, Phineas, Wander and that one new show with the magical girl wand, all always seemed to be real boring to me. I think it's because they're not aimed at or written by weirdo adults who watch children's cartoons, like most CN shows throughout the years. I can't see the Disney show creators drawing porn of their characters on the side unlike Rebecca Sugar or John Kricfalusi, for example Even when I was in the target audience (late 90s/early 00s), I always put Disney Channel as a distant third behind Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. And that was even taking into account CN's bizarre obsession with showing 12 hours of Scooby Doo a day around that time. Nickelodeon was my favorite of the three. Invader Zim was my favorite cartoon, plus Rocko's Modern Life, the Angry Beavers, and Hey Arnold were definitely up there for me. Also Avatar The Last Airbender was amazing, though that came kind of on the tail end of my childhood cartoon watching years. Oh how the times have changed, now Nick is the worst and CN is the best.

Real life can not adequately capture the hideousness of Klasky Csupo character designs. Wreck-It Ralph with Nicktoons isn't a terrible idea but I really don't trust them to do it right and making it even partially live action seems like a really bad plan.

The Skeleton King posted:I am amazed that CN plays TTG and WBB on repeat so much. I haven't seen them air an episode of Adventure Time in months. Do they even make episodes for AT anymore? I could've sworn it was their most recognized show. TTG is by far their bast-rated show, yeah. WBB gets decent ratings, though the decision to air it so much seems odd to me since there are only thirteen 11-minute episodes out so far. At least with TTG there are over 100 episodes, but with how often WBB airs on some days, they're playing nearly a third of the series in one day.

It does not help my perception of Scooby Doo that Cartoon Network aired about 12 hours of it per day during my formative years.

Senerio posted:Pup gave Freddy a personality, named Coolsville, and just generally mocked the whole concept. I remember liking it when I was a kid and I haven't seen it in years but I get the feeling it's one of those late 80s/early 90s cartoons that really didn't age well. But yes, Pup was probably the high point for Freddy as a character.

The real question is what would the US government want with the rights to a show that no longer airs and never produced any DVDs or other merchandise? Do they want to build the giant robots?

raditts posted:They still haven't aired the final episode? I've been holding off on watching the couple of episodes I haven't seen yet so I can watch them all. What is it with Disney and apparently using a dartboard to schedule all their shows I remotely give a poo poo about. It's been said that they time the releases for dates when kids are least likely to have lots of homework or extracurricular activities going on. No idea if that's true, but it sounds like something Disney would do.

Considering the huge amount of discussion SU gets here (typically 200+ posts on new episode days) it'd probably be a bad idea to confine discussion to this thread. It would get overwhelmed.

"Ghosts" as in the spirits or souls of dead people separated from the body existing anywhere other than Heaven, Hell, and, depending on the denomination, Purgatory, is against Christian theology. Hartman is a born-again Christian, though according to this, the timing of his religious awakening doesn't match up with the rumor about it affecting the development of season 2 of Danny Phantom.

TwoPair posted:I don't like new Buttercup's voice. I guess that's my only opinion. It sounded weird to me too, but I think that's probably only because I'm so used to the old one that the new one sounds off to me. I figure I'll get used to it and it'll sound better eventually.

Because yeah, aside from the girls nothing about that clip looked PPG-ish to me, everything else looked like that style that was novel when it was just Adventure Time but not so much now that every new Cartoon Network show looks like that. Nope, he isn't involved in the new one at all.

According to Craig McCracken, Wander Over Yonder is not getting renewed for a third season and the last episode will air some time in June. http://crackmccraigen.tumblr.com/post/140529754374/wander-over-yonder-over What a shame. WoY is a great show that's been knocking it out of the park so far in season 2.

Waffleman_ posted:Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa were each renewed for two more seasons, with SU returning in June for a "Summer of Steven" to run til August. I don't know about Uncle Grandpa, but SU wasn't really "renewed" for two more seasons in the manner we'd think, they just broke up the ongoing season 2 and the already-ordered season 3 into two seasons each. The amount of episodes on order is unchanged.

muscles like this? posted:I remember CN back in the late 90s/early 00s and how great it was late at night because they constantly showed the stupidest poo poo H-B cartoons. Like the one where Gary Coleman was dead. I liked all the really bad crossover shows where they just mashed together every Hanna-Barbera character in what I can only assume began as repeated attempts to recapture the popularity of Wacky Races. Laff-a-lympics (featuring renamed, recolored versions of Dastardly and Muttley because I guess they somehow lost the license to their own characters?), Yogi's Space Race, Yogi's Gang, Yogi's Treasure Hunt, and loving Yo Yogi.

It's weird to compare this to We Bare Bears, but WBB is so much better in this regard. WBB has tons of references to viral videos and other silly internet phenomena, but they handle it so much more gracefully and realistically than new-PPG does. New-PPG's use of internet memes and youth slang seems like it was made by the same marketing executives who designed "totally radical" characters in the 90s.
