I liked the earlier episodes where Johnny wasn't such an idiot.

The creator got kicked off partway through the first season, as I recall. And bringing it back to progressive issues, there is a same-sex couple and a single parent (though Chad is Clarence's father figure) on that show. Cartoon Network nixed a scene where two men meeting for a date kiss each other on the lips, though they did end up kissing each other on the cheek. Not something that makes or breaks a show, but it's good to have kids relate to things that they see on TV. get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jan 19, 2016 |

I think they just tend to play the bomb episodes when they'd normally play the episodes.

He did the voice of Scrooge in the Ducktales remaster a few years ago and he sounded as perfect as ever as him so. I dunno why they wouldn't just use him again unless they literally are just worried he's gonna die at any moment

Not sure about the source but I think I remember Launchpad's actor posting something back when the new show was annouced about Disney deciding to hire new actors to voice the characters rather than getting the old group back together (he seemed kind of disappointed about it too as he was perfectly willing to come back).

Alan Young is a treasure, but I would not be upset if they recast an almost centenarian actor. It's one thing to do a one-off game, it's another deal entirely to go back in to a series. Kinda bummed to hear that they're not bringing everyone back, though. I would be surprised if they recast Donald or the boys, since those have the whole corporate synergy thing going on. But I don't think they've even announced any final cast members yet. There were two animated things where Young did not provide the voice of Scrooge. Scrooge McDuck and Money and Sport Goofy (a kind of proto-Ducktales) both had different actors playing Scrooge.

Well, it'd be accurate considering Scrooge started his fortune in the 1896 Klondike gold rush.

If nothing else, the fact that Ren and Stimpy are involved means that John K is going to hate it, and I'll take anything that will get him to flail around like the angry, embittered man that he is.

As someone who grew up watching those shows, a lot of them are better viewed through rose tinted glasses. Nick is really desperate for some sort of hit cartoon that's not spongebob.

When he got to make Ren & Stimpy cartoons that he had complete creative control over it was so bad that Spike dropped it after like two episodes despite being a new network desperate for content. Even when it was good he was only a part of that.

While the last season of Ren and Stimpy was pretty bad, Kricfalusi came back for the terrible "adult" version that was on Spike for about five minutes, which was arguably worse. It seems like he only makes good cartoons when he has to work around guidelines.

I want to take this time to poo poo on Doug some more. Seriously, gently caress Doug. I can forgive it for being boring, stupid and having an entire cast of unlikable Chucklefucks. But I will never, ever, forgive it for being one of those shows that thinks embarrassing the main character is somehow inherently funny. Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? Doug would want to go to a concert or something, have a completely pointless dream sequence about it (another pet peeve of mine), realize he'd been rocking out to nothing in public, and then get laughed at by everyone. This is supposed to be HILARIOUS but I always just felt kind of bad for the boring little bastard. Plus, I empathize pretty strongly with characters as I watch them so when the show would pull this poo poo a small part of me would be getting laughed at right there with him. Thanks for that, show!

readingatwork posted:I want to take this time to poo poo on Doug some more. The only parts of Doug I enjoyed came from Skeeter. He had the best episode where he was struggling to pass shop class, but not because he was bad at it. He'd invent some elaborate mechanism that had a bunch of interesting ideas, but forgot to implement the basic functionality in his unfocused mania, eg the Coatrack that could predict the weather, tell you which shops were open nearby, etc but it couldn't hang coats, as he had forgotten to add the hooks. That subplot was actually funny (or should I say Funnie :P)

John K will be mad if it's a show he did not personally work on and will call it not a real cartoon because it does not follow rules established decades ago so trying to avoid making him mad is a fool's errand.

I should probably, but won't, give the Disney season a watch, but I always assumed it was better because it sounded like Doug became more proactive in it, instead of classic Doug where he can go on a loving date with his crush and still achieve absolutely nothing.

For years I thought Doug must have been one of those religious cartoons because it was so bland, but really it's just about a kid with anxiety who just can't stop catastrophizing about everything in his life. You can tell that he grew up into one of those adult nerds who hates women because he was never brave enough to ask one out.
