Clearly, the only solution is to annex Canada. Then Adventure Time and Regular Show will fall under CanCon laws.

Any show with Gary Cole and Patrick Warburton as billed regulars deserves all the seasons it can get.

And yeah, this show was surprisingly dark/unusual for a Scooby show (see: Flim Flam getting 25 to life as a minor).

About the only things I know about current Nick programming is A) Spongebob is somehow still going despite not being funny since 2003 & B) that one show referenced the "How my hair look?" scene from The Wire.

So... yeah, just gonna go back to watching The Hub or something. Batman Beyond reruns make everything better.

EDIT: Wait, who's Norm in this situation? Noggin, Nicktoons, GaS?

But let's not forget that horrendous EXXXTREME Ghostbusters cartoon of the late 90s. it's like they wanted to be as PC as they could get by including everybody, so they added another minority in the mix (the Latino slacker dude), a female Ghostbuster, and a wheelchair-bound paraplegic.



Good god. Look at this poo poo.

And yet, the series itself was oddly well written. It's mind-boggling, really.

This makes me so sad. Batman is always so serious in everything else that the lighthearted feel of Brave and the Bold was a nice change of pace. It was as if the 60s series had respected its audience's intelligence.

The pitch for the next series, Beware The Batman, has him teaming with Katana and a younger, rifle-toting Alfred. Because as someone who has been rabidly anti-gun for like 70 years, you want a sniper as your sidekick.

...Yeah.

What's the advantage of "buying" a currently existing channel rather than just creating your own, anyway? Does it have something to do with retaining all the cable systems that carry the channel?

Exactly that, yes. It's why G4 bought TechTV (an attempt by Comcast to muscle in on Time Warner/Dish Network/DirectTV's packages), and why The Hub replaced Discovery Kids.

GI Joe is so close to being good, but it seems to take itself way more seriously than GI Joe ever should, and then there's also the matter of godawful character designs with that too.

The character designer actually died back in January 2011, before the first season was finished airing. That combined with the show being "oh hiatus" to prevent brand confusion/over saturation while Hasbro's busy promoting the second movie means we might not be getting a second season anytime soon, if ever.

Also, it's not The Aquabats, it's The Aquabats! Yes, the exclamation point is necessary.

I still think it's amazing that an anime was popular enough in the US that CN actually helped produce a second season in the first place. It's a shame that the ratings just didn't come like they did for S1 (at least, that's what I assume happened).

Actually, the ratings were steady through the entire run, Williams Street just wanted to make cheaper programming instead of financing another full season.

The moral is, gently caress Adult Swim.

Pretty Cure is obviously the new Sailor Moon. It already has a dub that's been aired in Canada and the UK.

On the other hand, looking at even two seconds of Pretty Cure has been known to cause normal people to go into a diabetic coma.

I imagine it's something like that. Alternately, Andy Merrill and C. Martin Croker both still work directly for Williams Street, don't they? It's possible that the execs aren't willing to shell out the money to bring in George Lowe for the hour or two it would take to record the bits AND spend the time animating Space Ghost's mouth on top of it.

Yeah, I'm kinda suspecting this too. I mean, if they didn't want to animate Space Ghost they could have just used Brak's Dad.

I'm surprised to see no posts about Gravity Falls, which is a new show starting on the Disney channel at the end of the month. I'm interested in it because the show's creator, Alex Hirsch was a writer for Flapjack and worked alongside Penn Ward on some really great episodes (including the mermaid wishes and the guardian angel episodes!). Is anybody else looking forward to it?

I gotta admit, I'm vaguely looking forward to it. Also, am I the only one who things that the character designs look vaguely like the humans in Regular Show?
