But, the other voices have hit the same pitch, roughly--it's a certain je-nais-se-quois. So, maybe it's just a matter of being sufficiently "Mako-esque." The new voice has a different quality from what I'm used to.

Some people say it's not funny to joke about, but the man has made it a running joke. Of course maybe we'll luck out and this move will get Loeb pushed into ALL of Disney TV, and then superheroes will be safe again.  I just want my Avengers not to turn stupid.

So how do y'all feel about this Dragons, Riders Of Berk business? I want to have high hopes, but the track record for cgi cartoons based on movies isn't that great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5dvv4GGcNA http://blog.cartoonnetwork.com/2012/07/16/dragons-takes-flight-at-san-diego-comic-con-2012/

I am not ashamed to say that I love watching kids shows with my daughter. My favorites are Yo Gabba Gabba (awesome music) and Sesame Street (packed with hilarious jokes for adults, and comically bad acting.) They are her favorites too, but mostly just because she is in love with moono and ernie. Ironically, barney is the only one I don't like.

I'm all for this, especialy after The WB canceled Dragon Riders of Pern after 3 episodes and Cartoon Network canceled Dragon hunters, so we greatly suffer from a lack of dragon related programming. I was never too keen on the hero dragon designs outside of Toothless though, they always looked way too out of place for the most part when you see stuff like Boneknapper or the Big Giant Gorgon Dragon. I would have prefered if they looked like something outta Monster Hunter, especialy since Stormfly looks almost like a Yian-Kut-Ku.

I imagine it'll be like the Penguins of Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda shows; competently done, pretty well animated, but kind of bland and existing more for marketing purposes than a desire to expand and explore the universes the films set up.

Yeah, they've had episodes in the bucket for months now. It looks like they're trying to kill the show nice and quiet-like. Not completely unexpected, as most of the crew's already on other projects, like Ben 10 and that new Batman abortion.

I hadn't actually seen it until CN started running it non-stop recently, but it really is a charming little show. It's self-aware enough to mock the older material (and the whole premise, really), but not obnoxious about it. And at the very least it felt different, which is more than I can say for "What's New Scooby Doo?" (The answer is nothing). Too bad that it apparently failed.

I just had to watch Mystery Inc after stumbling across the season 1 finale synopsis on Wikipediaquote:In the end the mystery is solved; however, the gang tragically falls apart. Fred leaves to go look for his real parents, breaking off his engagement with Daphne, while Shaggy's parents decide to send him off to military school and then send Scooby to a "nice" farm. All seems lost for Mystery Incorporated, but Scooby, enraged at Professor Pericles, vows to bring the gang back together so that they can continue pursuing him. I actually enjoyed it; it was quite cute, and for a Scooby Doo show, just a teeny bit dark. Other fun bits: there was an ep where they teamed up with the other Hanna-Barbera ghostbusting teams, which was great, and I hear we'll be seeing the Quest team and Dynomutt this season. Also the first ghost of season 2 is a fat crying clown in diapers that they call the Manbaby

Dan Vs. is a fantastic show. It seems to mostly owe its continued existence to having been around before The Hub had any clue what it was doing programming-wise. Not that they've advanced too much in that respect, but still.

So I just picked up the pilot for Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated and I'm ashamed that I didn't know of it earlier. Granted, I suspect that I may have written it off had I not known where it was going, but I really like the idea of playing off memories of the Scooby Gang to expose them as lovably broken people, particularly Fred. And I never would've expected social satire from the show, but here we are: "Why do you need money, Professor? You're a teacher!" "  ""Ohhh, uh, right, of course..."

Supposedly they wrote a 90 minute long pilot split into 30 minute episodes. They built elaborate sets and props but there were apparently issues with the script and they really couldn't show dragons on TV to the full extent that was needed....especialy since dragons are everywhere on Pern. They axed it(I think even before it was properly filmed) If you ever watched the terrible Dinotopia TV series the show had the same issues. They could not show Dinosaurs on the screen for the entire time, so it essentialy became a show about stupid Human issues and not about humans living with dinosaurs. Dealling with poorly made puppets and cheap set pieces coupled with terribly done acting, any sort of feeling was lost in the process. They couldn't even make Skybax Riders a main focus point because riding flying lizards was too budget costly. The show became garbage after the first episode, the story points were boring, none of the characters were interesting, and they just made everything like a stereotypical soap opera that it was just awful. There was literally one point in the series where they interacted with dinosaurs that existed offscreen so they didn't even have to use the puppets or CGI.

I thought that I was the only one watching that show. It's hilarious. I'm pretty sad they're burning off episodes as I guess they're not going to renew it. What I like is that it balances being both subversive and respectful to the original show.
