Tartarus Sauce posted:I knew a few "concerned kids" growing up, and I honestly never understood them. Are they just trying to suck up to adults? Are they hope that they'll be promoted to full adult-hood if the sucking up is successful? Are they afraid of being subjected to X thing themselves? I can understand nosy adults wanting to "protect the children," but why would a child feel obligated to protect their peers from, well, anything at all? That was also an awesome show.

It was said earlier in the thread that the guys who make Kid vs. Kat are trying too hard to channel Tex Avery and, in the process, forgot to make the characters likable. I think it stands in stark contrast to Phineas and Ferb, where you don't expect to like some characters but end up finding something to like about all of them....of SCIENCE! posted:The plot is that a rapping blue viking is desperately trying to invent a frame story to make Korean stuffed animals hip and relevant to our post-modern, ironic youth so that he can bang Mother Earth.

I've heard nothing about this new Looney Tunes remake, so after seeing that picture of the characters in the show, it made me think: why is Lola Bunny in there? I thought that she was something that Warner Brothers wanted to forget.

On the subject of older cartoons: if you've been aching for Rocko's Modern Life to come to DVD (I know I have), all you have to do is wait two more months for Season 1 to drop. I guess you could skip it if you have Netflix, since all four seasons are available for streaming, but if you want to send a message to Nickelodeon to release the rest of them, buy the DVDs.

Yeah I'm doubleposting, but I feel that this deserves its own post. I PM'd Aatrek, and he said that we are, in fact, allowed to talk about MLP in this thread- as long as it doesn't get creepy. I hope that this doesn't derail the thread into pony domination. In the mean time, chew on the AV Club's review of My Little Pony. It's a positive review (the author gave it a B+), so beware- it might just get a hipster following now. Edit: From the comment section.

Has anyone seen the Phineas and Ferb (there's a thread somewhere dedicated to the show but it's pretty much dead) episode "Nerds of a Feather?" I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best episodes of kids' programming I've seen. If you consider yourself a nerd, do yourself a favor and watch it on Netflix (it's in Season 2). Season 3 of the show is currently going on, and Netflix is adding the episodes as it goes along. get that OUT of my face fucked around with this message at 14:10 on May 2, 2011 |

I've heard that the new Looney Tunes show is more like Tiny Toons humor than original Looney Tunes humor. Is that an accurate description? If so, I'll probably have to catch an episode. I know that the chatter about Rocko's Modern Life is from a page back, but one thing I noticed from the Netflix episodes is that all of the ones that involve Chokey Chicken keep the original name intact. IIRC, on its TV run they changed the name to Chewy Chicken in Season 2, but I watched a Season 3 episode yesterday where it was still called Chokey Chicken. For me, that puts any fears about keeping the original censorship intact on the DVD versions to rest. But who knows.

Hey Arnold! came out near the end of my Nickelodeon watching time, so I didn't watch many episodes of it. After watching a couple of episodes on Netflix Instant, though, I've found out that it's really great. My favorite Nicktoon growing up was Rocko's Modern Life, and even though they're two very different shows, I have to say that Hey Arnold! is better. It captures the soul of living in a city well, and I can't get enough of the jazzy soundtrack. Helga is extremely creepy, though.

As I posted before, Aatrek says it's OK to talk about MLP in this thread, but I wouldn't get carried away with it or else this thread could suffer the consequences.Vaerai Archon posted:A rather strange development but a certain specific show about miniture candy colored horses actually got a reformatting. It's now a full blown adventure show like the pilot. They actually added a villan and everything, the reasoning was that the larger than expected audiance caught them off guard so they're going to make the next season appeal to a more diverse demographic. Mr Wind Up Bird posted:Is Cartoon Network just throwing a whole bunch of cartoons out to see what sticks? Because this Squirrel show and Almost Naked Animals are really bad. Like, Camp Lazlo or My Gym Partner's a Monkey bad. Also Camp Lazlo isn't bad at all. I think it's created by Joe Murray, the creator of Rocko's Modern Life. I can recognize a couple of voices that were in Rocko that are also in Camp Lazlo.

Legends of the Hidden Temple even had a kid who did online gaming over dialup

I'm very hesitant to watch MLP. I'd say the fanbase that shall remain nameless is about on the same level as Sonic fans, but Sonic fans have even less of an excuse to like their franchise since it's been bad for so long. Perhaps I'll watch it the next time I smoke up. That's how I discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender (along with good word-of-mouth).

 IMPORTANT '90S ARE ALL THAT ANNOUNCEMENT Cry Baby Lane, the infamous made-for-TV movie, is on tonight. It's almost over now (at least in the Eastern time zone), but it will be back on at 2:00 EST. Unfortunately, the forums will probably be under maintenance at that time, so there won't be a running thread about it.

The plot is that two brothers play a prank on three girls in a graveyard and awaken the spirit of of an evil Siamese twin boy. Then the spirit spreads to the people of the town and the younger brother has to release the spirit of the good twin to save everybody. Jim Gaffigan is in it, but he's in it for two minutes and has something like three lines. It's not a very well-acted movie, and some of the characters are poorly made, but I'll give it one thing: it's pretty drat creepy. It spooked me out and I'm 24- imagine somebody half my age seeing it. As Stick Stickley said before the movie started, it was aired only once because parents said it was too scary. Personally, I don't blame them.

Speaking of live-action shows with kid stars, I'd love to see a "where are they now?" segment on The '90s Are All That with actors from such shows.

Is it some sort of Nielsen glitch as they claim or do they refuse to believe Disney's gaining on them? Only time will tell. Aside from iCarly and the never-going-to-die Spongebob and Fairly OddParents, I can't name any show currently running on that network. I only watch one show on Disney Channel (Phineas and Ferb) but that's one more than I watch on Nickelodeon.
