This thread and the TTG thread got me to watch Gumball, which I had mentally discarded for no particular reason. Still not finished, and I been watching some newer episodes randomly to get a feel for where the show is now as opposed to at launch, but what an enjoyable show with some really unexpected references. Edit: Based on a suggestion I watched the episode called The Shell and holey moley that was really good. Second Edit: How is the show doing, anyway? It slipped completely under my radar which hopefully means I'm just out of it and not that it's unpopular, because it looks like a good show (and I've been enjoying the more recent episodes that I've seen even more than the earlier episodes) CuddlyZombie fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Mar 30, 2016 |

Applewhite posted:The Limit is my favorite episode, The Job is a close second. Both are very excellent. I'll be sure to check both of those out, thanks. Even though it's a very different show, it's funny how the episode naming convention reminds me of Seinfeld.

Megaspel posted:I've been binging The Amazing World of Gumball and it's crazy how it isn't as well known as some of the cartoons on these forums. They approach a lot of philosophical concepts and other really cool concepts that you don't see in much of anything else, all while being hilarious. I think I might make a thread about it after I finish watching the fourth season or something, any suggestions for that? Maybe post a few particularly good episodes to watch, since there seems to be way less of a focus on continuity than SU are AT. I still haven't watched them all myself but like I said before, I thought the Shell was really good. Also, any episode focusing on Nicole. I do agree it's good enough to merit it's own thread for the sake of exposure, though I don't know if there'd be much to actually talk about.

Every time I think about checking out a Scooby Doo reboot, I realize I would have to sit through a show that has Scooby Doo the character in it and lose interest.

The Gumball episode The Sweaters feels like a mashup of that one South Park skiing episode and an episode of Aqua Teens.

achillesforever6 posted:The first couple 90s early 2000s Scooby Doo films are pretty decent, Zombie Island loving scarred me as a kid Yeah I'll admit the ending of Zombie Island with the voodoo dolls and the witches' coven actually was scary, which is kind of amazing for Scooby Doo. Also, that movie was great because the promotional announcement that "THIS TIME THE MONSTERS ARE REAL" was something that was so goofy that my dad and I bonded over laughing at it.

So now that I'm all caught up, is there any rhyme or reason as to when new Gumball episodes air, or is it like other CN shows where they just kind of appear without warning or fanfare every few months and there is no schedule?

How was UG doing ratingswise? Actually, how is success and profitability for these shows even measured? Or is this info all internal and noone outside of CN really knows it anyways?

ConanThe3rd posted:I dunno, without the context of the full scene, it probably ranks up with the crap the og series pulled (stuff like "My Dad says I was an accident" and all of 'Him's screentime). Yeah I suppose it's not any worse than all the jokes about MASCUMAX's MANHOOD in the old series, objectively speaking. But it's hard to be objective, and speaking subjectively, I was totally weirded out.

I haven't seen him yet, but I have seen Mitch (in a preview of an unaired episode), Ms. Keane, and, funnily enough, the Accident girl whose name i forget.

PicklePants posted:I'm hoping the writing team figures out what they're doing with PPG. It does seem to lack excitement to it, like it's going through the motions. Yeah, it feels like the writers could still find their place, but it's not guaranteed by a long shot. "A show that is on." is the perfect way to put it. It is weird that people are playing telephone with it, though. Endorses bullfighting, what?

I really, REALLY like the long version of the opening, but I think the short TV-version is just whatever. I thought the episode that aired last night where they become really old was pretty good. So far the good episodes have been the ones with Mojo in them. Edit: On the other hand, I just watched today's episode, and while it was otherwise good, god loving dammit.

PhazonLink posted:Wait. The new PPG cartoons has lessons? Every episode even? Even that horse cartoon stopped having "obvious" lessons with an actually end of the episode summary after a while. It does, and it really, really drags down the show. If there have to be lessons they should follow the TTG model and be practical and useful lesssons.

This week's episode of Gumball felt like kid-friendly Curb. It was great, but difficult to watch the final scene. Penny's reactions to Gumball were really cute, though.

Yeah, there's no real premise. There's quite a few Seinfeld homages with all of the episode titles being "The _____" and having a (season) finale episode called The Finale which is heavily inspired by Seinfeld's, so, uh, it's about nothing, I guess?

No, it was definitely the second half of a two parter. The CN site only uploaded part two, I had to go to shady internet websites to find part 1. How annoying.
