FWIW, Boondocks and Venture Bros, at least, have the full series. The rotating seasons is probably a Cartoon Network thing and not an Adult Swim thing.

I bought the complete series of Street Sharks today at Kmart(it was 5 bucks don't judge me) and I've never bought anything made by Cookie Jar Entertainment before. Do all of their complete series DVDs literally just have the DVD case and then the DVDs are just in disc envelopes sitting in a slot in the case? Because if so I will probably never buy anything from them again.

I do not believe that Street Sharks is deserving of more presentation than that.

So much fun, tho. This week's episode deals with the edgy star of the grim 'n gritty show that makes Ben 10 popular in the entire universe, the show his current partner watched and had made him expect something entirely different out of Ben. They got a real Liefeld student to design this character even.

Kinda bummed that CN's at it again with hiatus, so the two parter where every ben of every reality, including one that freaking fuses aliens, team up has been postponed until who knows when.

Oh gosh I forgot all about Xtreme Ben. This show man.

I was dying at the fact that the "XTREME" shading carried over to the actual character. Also I swear Omniverse Simian was modeled off of the Shamwow Guy. Derrick Wyatt was killing it this week.

Omniverse Simian is a masterpiece. Back in UAF he was literally Spidermonkey without the omnitrix symbol and now you know he's a quick-money scheme dude just by looking.


But the best part of the episode had to be Xtreme Ben signing the planet. The pile of permanent markers had me rolling.

So the "Stimpy's Invention" episode of "Ren and Stimpy" was on last night on the 90's Nick Block.

Legitimately forgot how funny that episode was. In "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" song has a joke in the song I had never picked up on before when I watched it as a kid:

"I TOLD YOU I WOULD SHOOT! BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?"

Really wish the 90's Nick Block would play the classics more, and yes, that episode is definitely one. (Catdog is trash that should have been left far, far back in the past)

Yo can we talk about this insane loving bayblade show? It's the stupidest goddamn anime I've ever seen. It's like someone made a checklist of the standard stupid anime things amplified by ten and then played off as totally serious. It's basically impossible not to laugh at every line of dialogue. The poo poo that happens is unbelievable. Example: Today I guess is the super end-game battle between hero kid and multi color evil kid who has an 8 pack. At one point during the fight the evil AI hologram dude switches himself over to a giant fuckoff bayblade robot. He plans to destroy hero kid with this robot by... shooting a goddamn bayblade out of his robot arm.
Also the use of the phrase "My blader spirit!" never stops being funny.

Someone pointed out that the show is being produced by a Canadian company for English speaking audiences. So it's not like the localization team is making poo poo up to fill mouth flaps, someone honest to god wrote all the dialogue like he did.

Also there is a for real no joke GBS1.0 literal Oompa Loompa as an antagonist.
But he's huge and has a six pack, his head is the size of a normal person.

I think I watched an episode of the first Beyblade series that aired over here and was left with the impression that it was honest to God the most generic anime ever. I think I've voluntarily watched more episodes of Johnny Test than I have that poo poo.

This indicates that is was ever interesting. It's pretty much the same poo poo it's always been, you just got older. Fortunately for 4kids and Nintendo, there is a never ending of new kids to get interested in that crap. As long as the games are popular, the cartoon will probably continue.

It started showing in the US the year I started college and I remember the first season or two being kind of funny and clever in between the blatant toyvertising and basically being an animated walkthrough for Red/Blue, but I guess that might have been due to usually watching it in the context of a drinking game where you drink every time a pokemon says its name.

It's quite simple

A) New kids get born and fall into the target audience fast
B) Kids grow up they think the show's poo poo and move over, but the new kids find Ash to be the greatest guy ever and have no idea how long he's been 10.
C) When you forget about the kids that grow up, it's real easy to justify reusing plots (you wouldn't believe how many times Pikachu has had to say no to Thunderstones)

I guess that's true, although oddly my 5-year-old loves the Pokemon games but absolutely refuses to watch the cartoon. He doesn't care much for anime in general, so I guess I've done something right.

Mystery Incorporated is like some kind of hub universe that contains the entire H-B canon. Given enough episodes I'm sure we would have seen cameos from Top Cat, Hong Kong Phooey, and the family from Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home.

Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home was awesome. I used to watch it all the time as a kid.

Anyway, 52 episodes was always meant to be it. CN didn't cancel it early, they just hosed with the scheduling really, REALLY bad. So bad that CNs in other countries had already finished the entire last season before CN US even had advertisements for it.

To be the devils advocate here, the show does its job of teaching kids about the rules of the game. By the time they play their first Pokemon game, they already know the basic concept of catching and battling Pokemon because they've seen an episode or two. As for the writing, there's room for improvement, although they have been trying harder since the last generation.
Good job teaching your kid about the dangers of anime, though.

The same guys who released Digimon on DVD recently are putting out Beyblade DVD sets now and it only makes me want them to get Medabots (another series Nelvana released here) because that show was the poo poo and Metabee's voice owned. Two companies tried to release it on DVD (ADV Films and Shout Factory) and neither of them completed it.
