This is going to be an actual cartoon on Cartoon Network.

It's like they've decided Flash is too costly and they went all the way down to MS Paint to animate this.

They've had worse poo poo on As before, 12 Oz Mouse and Tom Goes to the Mayor for example. This is for AS right?

Question: when and where can this pony show that is apparently pretty good be found? I haven't seen any advertising anywhere.

It's all up on youtube, except the one airing today I guess.


In non-pony related news, there appears to be either a new or a recut(I think recut) episode of Phineas and Ferb on saturday.

Last I saw it--

Hated it hated it hated it hated it.

I think the first and most severe strike against it is that it's obviously Flash animated, and I'm pretty drat sick of Flash.

From there, I just found the characters dumb, irritating, and loud. Their rivalry just seems so pointless and stupid, so I can't bring myself to to root for either of them.

BUT, this is based on one episode, and a few clips, so I'll give your clips a try.

I've seen it a couple times and didn't like it either. It suffers from the Fairly Oddparents problem where everyone is yelling all the time no matter what the context is, only it isn't charming enough to overcome that like Fairly Oddparents (usually) was.

And like others have said I could never figure out who I was actually supposed to like on the cast.

I've heard the rumors. It'd make sense seeing as how crazy popular it is outside of its demographic. But, alas this is Hasbro, I do not keep my hopes up that it will be as good as the first season. Although, Friday's episode had me in stitches with Pinkie Pie's disguises.

It's been confirmed by people on the staff! :)

I don't think Hasbro will gently caress with it either, it's the highest rated show on Hub and while I'm sure the suits are baffled by the adult fanbase it's money in their pockets either way.

That blog post mostly just comes off as pissed that Symbionic Titan got cancelled.

Chowder, while I loved it, was getting pretty stale by the end. I'd rather shows like it and Flapjack get to do a proper ending and go out while they're still ok than run forever like Fairly Oddparents or SpongeBob (although I never did like SpongeBob in the first place).

The Flintstones wasn't really a "kids" show to begin with (they did a goddamn cigarette commercial.) It may seem tame as poo poo to people today but then a lot of TV was back then.

It was a cigarette commercial for awhile. Also wasn't there domestic violence or did that not make the transfer along with the rest of the honeymooners stuff?


readingatwork posted:

By the way, just what IS the relationship between Darwin and Gumball? Are they brothers, BFFs, life partners or what? I thought they were friends what with Darwin being a fish but the two are constantly together, I have yet to see Darwin's family seen or mentioned, and as of "The Third" it seems that apparently he and Gumball share a room. So now I'm just confused.

I think Darwin is a "pet" in the sense that they're not really related and Darwin doesn't have his own family or whatever, but in practice he's more of an equal? The mom treats Darwin like a son too in the DVD episode, I think. They both go to school and otherwise act as equals.

The show has a giant T-Rex that kills other characters on screen, does it really need to be explained?

It's a long way from closing shop or anything, and the costs for the next season of stuff are already probably mostly sunk. I know ponies at least is already animating season 2.

But honestly with what most of their programming is (old rear end 80s poo poo) I don't see how they possibly thought the network would run with CN or Nickelodeon in only 8 months.

Well every show in this thread is FOR KIDS, so I don't see how that's an indicator of terribleness either. I don't know anything about the apparently very hosed up "Sonic" fans, but if it's referring to the lovely Sega game and even shittier cartoons, that was all for kids too.

Also, I don't really know if it's fair to compare it to Flapjack or Chowder. It's not really trying to replicate their formulas and it's not like FJ and C were dropped just because this show came on the channel's radar.

Also, jumping on the Johnny Test hate wagon because gently caress that show.

I know CN doesn't usually let shows go more than 3 seasons anyway, so it's not like I blame Gumball for Flapjack and Chowder ending, but even so it's hard not to make the comparison.

But I think we can all agree that Johnny Test is utter poo poo.

Indeed, what season it is on? Because it's about that +1 seasons far too long.

Canadian mandated domestically produced content + cheap as gently caress to license, is my understanding for why it continues to exist.

Some people will say similar things about Total Drama *.*, but I find those to be at least entertaining, as a follower of Survivor/TAR. And that seems to have gone away lately anyway.

I think Canada mandates domestic content, which in and of itself is not a horrible thing (I am one of those people who liked Total Drama X), but which often results in extremely sub-bar content like Johnny Test. I mean, that show must cost nothing per episode, and they can license it to us for peanuts, but still make money.
