Fairly Oddparents is slowly dying out, and it probably will just be gone one day and never be seen again, since Nickelodeon doesn't like to give finales. Butch Hartman's already moved on, and there was that terrible live-action movie. Spongebob was good back when the fact that they were all fish underwater meant something. The original creator was a marine biologist, but now every side character is just another fish.

You Are A Elf posted: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. I wasn't born early enough to see The Real Ghostbusters, but this show was on at around when I was beginning to really watch TV. I only remember one episode though, where the ghost-of-the-day was using some sort of innocuous tablets as portals to suck people into another dimension. Scared the goddamn poo poo out of me.

According to Wikipedia it's based on a webshow and here's its website. The animation's not that good, it looks like one of those boring educational cartoons.

What animated Disney movies haven't had tv spinoffs by this point? Seems like Disney does that for everything they've made since Beauty and the Beast.

raditts posted:Saturday morning cartoons were on the way out long before Cartoon Network rose to prominence. Then what the hell was I watching as a kid back in the 90s?  WB still has saturday morning cartoons, but it somehow merged with the 4kids programming block that Fox used to have, so it has Sonic X and Dragonball Z Kai, if you're into that, I guess. Personally, I stopped watching cartoons on saturday mornings when Nickelodeon stopped airing Penguins off Madagascar at that time.

Cartoon Network's site hasn't needed a cable provider code since last I checked. It's kind of a shame that Cartoon Network has had some really good bumpers and framing devices like Toonami and such, but they are the absolute worst at advertising their own shows.

I watched a couple seasons of Beyblade with some friends a little while back, and it's got the same sort absurd, ridiculous, stupidity that Yu-Gi-Oh had. It's fun to watch for just how completely absurd it all is. I mean, look at this. They're so incredibly excited about FIGHTING TOPS.

I still don't understand why they bring the dog along on missions. I guess it may be a wolf? It just sort of popped up in one episode, and now they're still acting like it can contend with all these superpowered people and giant monsters.

I grew up watching Rocky and Bullwinkle on VHS back in the 90s. Last I checked it was also on Hulu for free. I feel that there are a bunch of references lying here and there that don't make any sense these days and I never got.

Didn't Jabberjaw have a really dark premise? I think I remember something about how the surface world was too overpolluted, so mankind was forced to live underwater. I've never seen that purple gorilla on Cartoon Network though.

I'd say the biggest problem with this sort of show concept is that most of the humor involved would probably be stuff that the kids in the target demographic just wouldn't get. A show's no good if it can't reach its target demographic.PhazonLink posted:I'll probably get flack for this but this sounds like something Japan could do competently with a non creepy writing team. It was sorta the plot of Ranma 1/2. Japan doesn't really do proper superheroes unless giant robots are involved.

Vienna Circlejerk posted:Can anybody recommend kid-friendly science fiction that isn't goofy and has female characters who are part of the action? Basically, I'm looking for a more modern version of this: What exactly do you mean by not goofy? Most sci-fi shows aimed at kids is going to be pretty silly by default, and hard sci-fi is pretty rare in general these days. The first things that come to mind are Atomic Betty and the newer Star Wars Clone Wars series.

Sockser posted:Atomic Betty was terrible. Thanks for bringing it up, rear end in a top hat. I never actually watched the show, it was just the first thing I thought of when I thought of girl lead + space adventures. That sort of thing generally tends to be targeted at boys instead already, and there haven't been too many space adventure shows lately.

Can't say that I'll miss Young Justice. The show was way too serious for its own good. Especially considering how some of the villains were trying to conquer the world via addictive sports drinks.

The only way I can imagine it making sense is that maybe after 5 years the kids who watched the show from the start will have grown up and Cartoon Network has to get started on a new batch of viewers. Most kids stop watching the same cartoons after turn into teenagers. It also makes sense to try your damnedest to keep your lineup from going stale, but that's no excuse to kick out shows so unceremoniously. Isn't it an almost universal consensus that the Simpsons went bad after [season I grew up watching]?

I get the same feeling whenever I'm busy hating Johnny Test, Level Up, or any of the other terrible shows that just won't die. Maybe I hate them as an adult, but maybe they appeal to the youth of today. God knows how many of the shows I remember fondly were poo poo. Then again, I do remember hating Super Duper Sumos and anything that relied on "gross-out humor", and I knew that Captain Planet was the dumbest loving thing.

Kids Next Door was okay, but the thing I never liked about the later seasons was how all the worldbuilding of the whole KND organizations was just made up on the fly, and it was pretty clear that the writers were all making it up on the spur of the moment as opposed to planning anything out. There was some good writing, but I think most of the writers cared more about references and parodies than about the actual show they were working on. I haven't rewatched the show, but as I remember, something like 90% of the show was composed of parodies of movies, shows, and genres.

It looks like they're going to break more from Sega's standard character models than Sonic X did. Look at that Knuckles! I don't particularly recall Cartoon Network having much of a history with CGI either, so I guess this is treading new ground for them too. There's no telling how this will turn out, but for now I'm optimistic.

I like the Powerpuff Girls, but every time I see an old IP being dredged up and revived, I kinda wish they would just let it rest. It was probably for the best that the show ended when it did anyways, it was kinda dipping towards the end, and the series the creator moved on to next was pretty tops.

Samurai Jack had a good run. It had a good 4 seasons, and if Jack ever was going to make any progress in getting back, back to the past, he'd have done some by that point. Symbiotic Titan was canceled after just one season, and I'd really like for it to be resumed so I could see where it was going. They never even got a chance to go into Octus's origins or Lance's dad.

Toy sales were the cited reason for canceling Symbiotic Titan, but I think it's probably more that Symbiotic Titan is really weird, and it would be impossible to explain to an executive.

The animation also had a really weird stop motion feel, and I guess everything was more angular because of limited polygons?
