Ben 10 reboot doesn't have the great catchy OP, doesn't seem to be bothering with the origin story, and most importantly, LACKS PAUL EIDING. Seems to be going for a completely episodic action-ish comedy rather than the slightly more plot-based pure action show, which I kinda saw coming with the change to 10-minute episodes. Like, this first episode is a total Looney Tunes.

Yeah, the Ben 10 reboot is reminding me a lot of the Powerpuff reboot, where they're trying to modernize it and make it more comedic and it just kinda loses all sense of identity and it's like why did you even bother instead of just putting that money to a new show?

While there's a bit of a shock at no Paul Eiding, I will say that David Kaye seems to play Max pretty well.

I really like this. I dunno how well it'd work as a full-fledged series but like, as a 10-episode miniseries, it could be pretty cool.

Someone on /co/ pointed out that the guy in charge of CN USA's scheduling used to be in charge of scheduling for CN India and CN Asia, and he was just as terrible about scheduling back then(apparently his show of choice in those days was Oggie and The Cockroaches of all things)

Oh okay, so instead of it being a grand strategy revolving around the changing viewing habits of their target demographic, it's just network execs being idiots.

That makes sense.

Ohjesuschrist i just noticed the weekend. 2 hours of CWACoM, the show, followed by the movie, followed by 2 more hours of the show, followed by the movie. Not even bothering getting the sequel in that thing. It sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. :stare:

Airing Spy Kids 3 should be a federal crime. Airing it twice within five hours? insanity.

Is there a way to bring it to CN's attention that the guy running scheduling is a total fuckwit or something/

Eeeewwww Spy Kids 3-D.(which is the only non-nerd thing I know that mentions Metroid during one line)

edit: Also Stuart Little has Hugh Laurie as a VA, and when I was watching House and realized he was the dad in the live action movies, I found that really funny.

The part that stuck out to me the most is that for some reason I remember the CGI Stuart Little movie and that it got a sequel, but I had no clue a Stuart Little 3 existed.

Or Open Season 2.

Honestly the original Open Season isn't that bad of a movie, even if it is pretty brainless, nothing I'd actively seek out, but wouldn't object watching with my youngest sister if it came on TV or she wanted to watch on a streaming service or something

Not everyone subscribes to Netflix, and almost all of them subscribe to cable.

I mean at some point it benefits CN to just make a digital subscription service rather than do that.

Oh I know. They showed a "preview" of it a couple of weeks back in between some other shows and it's a total dumpster fire. Which makes me wonder why they are pushing it this hard and not like banishing it to Boomerang or something.

My guess is that whoever owns and made the show is giving CN more incentive to air it than what most companies do(at this point I wouldn't be surprised if most companies only give CN shows cause they plan on using it's inevitable failure as a way to do tax dodges and money laundering)

Which is why they're probably pushing it, to follow Canadian laws because some of this poo poo was made in Canada thus its passable. I guess its their new Johnny Test.

Because Boomerang's already full of last year's failures. There's no more room in Cartoon Hell to put these shows.

When I was a kid I always imagined someone sitting down with a notebook for a full day and coming out with THIS MONTHS SCHEDULE for each network


Now apparently some rear end in a top hat just plays the same Ben 10 episode on repeat for 18 hours and throws in 11 minutes of adventure time to spice things up
