I grew up watching Rocky and Bullwinkle on VHS back in the 90s. Last I checked it was also on Hulu for free.

I feel that there are a bunch of references lying here and there that don't make any sense these days and I never got.

Of course there are, even Boris' name is a reference.

I actually hope so, because I'm only on episode four of the new season and I need to catch up. What was the last episode to air?

The original Uncle Grandpa short was probably one of my favorite entries from their 2009 competition (Regular Show won) but Secret Mountain Fort Awesome was pretty underwhelming and none of the other talent have made anything really great since then.

There was a second Uncle Grandpa short made. It's on youtube.

I like that it exists. There aren't enough rowdy rambunctious cartoons doing impossible things. I'm not sure how it could sustain a series, though, if every episode has the structure of the two shorts.

I wasn't that big a fan of the Uncle Grandpa shorts, honestly, but they were okay as far as shorts go. But I have no idea how that idea would sustain an entire series. I wish them the best though.

The other one sounds pretty great, but that's because I am admittedly a total sucker for superhero shows.

Actually, as cartoon series ideas go it seems rather solid to me. It's got a simple elevator pitch: Uncle Grandpa is everyone's uncle and grandpa and he visits a different family each episode, and during this visit anything can happen. It's a solid idea that kids will get that they can fit Peter Browngardt's art into. I kinda wonder why they made Secret Mountain Fort Awesome before this show, as that one didn't have nearly as good a hook.

Nope. Adventure Time was made by Pen Ward. Sugar's a storyboarder for the show. You might be thinking about Natasha Allegri, a designer and board revisionist for the show (who incidentally, is getting a show on Frederator's Cartoon Hangover web channel). Those other two shows are also by fellas.

You could stealth that and just say Powerpuff Girls because she did that too. Also you can say My Little Pony in this thread. Just basically nowhere else on SA.

That was a Craig McCracken developed show. Lauren Faust worked on it, but she wasn't a creator or showrunner.

Yeah, McCracken was Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Lauren Faust is his wife; he based Frankie from Foster's Home on her.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
Just watched that Uncle Grandpa short. Wasn't digging it all that much for the first half or so, but then after he flushed the toilet and it suddenly became apparent that I was watching Cartoon Cartoon Doctor Who, it grew on me substantially. I mean, wow, lot of parallels there. I could watch a show like that. Give him a companion 'cause you need more than one character, cycle them out every so often, could be fun.

I picked up the El Tigre season 1 collection since it finally dropped to below $40 bucks on amazon and guess what? It's actually the complete series labeled as a season; 52 episodes on 6 discs. I was not expecting that, explains the price though.

Kick Buttowski seems average to me and I don't usually watch it because of that, but Tony Reali (host of Around the Horn on ESPN and one of the few personalities on that network I actually like) is doing voicework for the new episode tomorrow playing Rock Callahan's nemesis. Because Callahan is voiced by Dwight Howard, naturally Reali framed it as "Reali vs. Howard."

I think I'm the only person who's going to watch that episode because it was promoted on Around the Horn.

It really was a lot better than I was expecting from the promos. The only things I thought were weird was how they go all no-pupils when they're fighting, and that Raphael's voice was coming out of Donatello.

I believe it just wasn't renewed instead of an announcement about being canceled. So technically it wasn't canceled and maybe the fact that they're making a big deal about adding it to a block is a good sign?
