Yeah. It took up all the time that was rightfully Digimon Tamers and PR: time force's in the UK on Fox Kids. It's repeating again. That peace of poo poo rated a for awesome ate up all of Inazuma Eleven's airtime.

Neo Helbeast posted:I can never be mad at Marathon. They made Martin Mystery which was an unapologetic love letter to 50's sci-fi comic books. It might be a shocker to you, but it's based on a far more serious italian comic. I know it, and just the inclusion of green goo and a stupid alien sidekick made me say "gently caress this poo poo". Also Diana is just his fiancee, not his step-sister. Makes the cartoon much more creepier doesn't it?

Honestly, her being the fiancee makes way more sense then being his sister, character wise. I can only imagine that the change was made to make it more kid friendly. They practically fell over each at the end of the series.

Dub is fine and also has minor cussing and no 4kids'ing of undesirables elements (Like attempts to murder the whole cast via bus sabotage or people getting run over by cars) however the dub only ran for a month in the middle of bum-gently caress nowhere on Disney XD UK's Schedule and would have been the worst abuse of anime by Disney XD World wide (Naruto was hosed sideways but at least it was advertised) if not for that short fart of a run of the Stich anime on the US channel. The sequel series, Go!, is, and I say this with no exaggeration, Zeta Inazuma Eleven. It is about the closest a show will probably get to showing how utterly hosed football and the people who play it can get when the people in charge go completely off the rails.

You Are A Elf posted:But let's not forget that horrendous EXXXTREME Ghostbusters cartoon of the late 90s. it's like they wanted to be as PC as they could get by including everybody, so they added another minority in the mix (the Latino slacker dude), a female Ghostbuster, and a wheelchair-bound paraplegic. I wasn't born early enough to see The Real Ghostbusters, but this show was on at around when I was beginning to really watch TV. I only remember one episode though, where the ghost-of-the-day was using some sort of innocuous tablets as portals to suck people into another dimension. Scared the goddamn poo poo out of me.

Speaking of which, does ABC Family still exist? Hard to imagine Disney spent so much money on that PoS.

PIZZA MY HEART  Oh it also used to have like a two hour block every night of Whose Line Is It Anyway, so that was awesome. edit: If you're wondering what Pizza My Heart is about, it is Romeo and Juliet but with two competing pizza chains. I know this because they played a commercial for it every. single. commercial. break. during Whose Line.

ABC Family was great when it was 90% Whose Line is It Anyway and Gilmore Girls. Fox Family was great because they ran episodes of the Real Ghostbusters--the only time I've ever seen it in reruns other than the old USA Cartoon Express.

Not thirty seconds in and the "bad guy" pee-wee soccer team just beat the other guys with what appeared to be DBZ soccer magic, unilaterally disbanded the loosing team, and then immediately proceeded to tear down the loosing team's school by driving through it with their military-grade land train thing.
