Is it just me, or has there been a lot of news lately about new Thundercats projects ever since the creator died? It's like everyone knew it was going to happen and decided to hold out until he was murdered for the extra publicity.

I'm also surprised about how well the new SD show is. However, I can't help but notice that most of the best jokes revolve around the show poking fun at itself. The running gag about how Fred is obsessed with trap-making is a great example. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty funny, but I can't imagine that going on for more than a season or two before it gets stale. If the show wants to stick around for the long run then they're going to have to mix it up. Also, while we're on the subject, CN's Monday night 7-9 line-up would be perfect if it wasn't for Johnny Test. If they could replace that with something that didn't suck then they would have a killer programming block.

...of SCIENCE! posted:There's going to be a live-action Fairly Oddparents movie, with Drake Bell playing a Timmy Turner who is in his mid-20s but refuses to move beyond the 5th grade because his fairy godparents can just give him everything he wants. Jason Alexander (Seinfeld, duh) and Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) will be playing Cosmo and Wanda. For the first time ever I'm glad that my office has waffleimages blocked. This sounds like a really bad idea. I saw an interview recently with Jason Alexander where he said he never turned down work because he can't afford to. Guess he wasn't bullshitting.

What's really sad is that the entire "Nicktoons" franchise was based around the idea of putting original artists in charge of making animated shows and not corporate entities looking to try and use the medium to sell things.

I'm loving "Regular Show", but there's one thing about it that bothers me and it. There's a distinct formula that each episode follows. Both episodes and the pilot play out the same way. It starts with Rigby and Mordecai are goofing around and eventually they get involved with some sort of task. In the course of trying to complete said task they unleash some sort of supernatural force which they have to suppress. After suppressing it they are chewed out by Benson, get told they have to "clean up this mess" and they end the episode with a quip showing that they're still slackers. It's still very funny and they do a well enough job keeping it fresh, but I'm curious as to how they'll be able to keep it up. I hope they mix it up some more in future episodes otherwise the show could start becoming stale.

Sockser posted:Seems like you're pulling the red out of your rear end. I remember reading online that the guy who played the original blue ranger (David Yost) was gay and got a ton of poo poo about it from the cast and crew while working on the show and its many spin-offs. He later tried to enter one of those christian-run programs designed to purge people of their homosexuality, but wound up having a nervous breakdown instead. It's not easy being a power ranger it seems.

Cracked had an interesting article about cartoon spin-offs that almost happened and they had an interesting piece in it about the notorious "Dexter's Rude Awakening" cartoon. For those of you who don't know the story, here it is... http://www.cracked.com/article_19049_6-insane-versions-famous-cartoons-they-almost-made.html Cracked posted:Throughout the course of the series, Dexter's Laboratory was no stranger to "adult humor," sneaking in sly references to things only Mom and Dad would understand. But there are subtle, racy allusions, and then there's the secret unaired episode, "Dexter's Rude Removal," in which Dexter's sister straight-up calls him a "skull-loving douchebag."

Y-Hat posted: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. Will it have the uncut version of the episode "Leap Frogs"? Please say yes.

JammyLammy posted:I wonder if its going to be another Franco-Japanese production. It's weird watching shows from back in the day and realizing how many of them originated from Europe. I never even knew The Smurfs were Belgian in origin until recently. Before then I always sort of assumed that they were a product 1980's American culture.  Anyway, yeah, a second season of MCoG? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but after that long, can you even call it a second season? There should be a different name for something like that. Hell, I'm pretty sure the audience they're going to be aiming for with that show wasn't even born yet when the first season aired. Hell, I wasn't even born yet when that show first debuted (I was born in '84). I remember that show from pre-Nicktoons Nickelodeon, back when they did Grimm's Fairy Tales and stuff like that, and that was WAY back in the day. It could be a wise move though. A well-written MCoG reboot could be just the thing to fill the void left by "Avatar: The Last Airbender". JammyLammy posted:Catchty intro Oh hell yeah! I remember that the most! I used to watch that show just for the intro alone. They don't do intro sequences like that anymore. Hell, some cartoons don't do intro sequences at all anymore (Regular Show).

Y-Hat posted: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. I'm in the same boat. I was a huge Rocko fan as a kid, but I mostly missed out on HA. Reviewing the show now as an adult I feel that it is easily one of the best programs that Nick ever produced, mainly for the reasons mentioned here. Wonderful characters, great music, et cetera. Also, Helga owns. Seriously, they could do a whole show on her and I'd watch it. Also, I decided to give Problem Solverz another chance since I heard that it's getting a second season and I think it's starting to grow on me. Unlike Adventure Time and Regular Show, however, I'm glad it's confined to an 11-minute format. I can only handle that show in small doses.

Magnus Condomus posted:Code Lyoko had a lot of good ideas that were executed poorly. The show dragged on the same formula for too long, and never really changed things up enough to make it worth it. I ended up watching the whole series, and I can't really recommend it to anyone. I agree. It was an interesting premise and it made for some cool set ups (zombies, rogue fighter jets, etc), but it always ended the same way. They went into Lyoko, fought some monsters, did the whole deus ex machina thing and everything goes back to the way it was before. And yes, the character design was atrocious. If it weren't for the whole forehead thing I wouldn't have any issues with it. It crazy how one thing can screw up everything.

Y'know, I've never once sat down to watch the new MLP show. I've never even seen clips of it online. My only experience with it are the few snapshots of the program that I've seen on the internet and that's it. Sometimes I'm tempted to watch a few minutes of it, just to see what all the fuss is about but I don't get The Hub. Plus, I'm just too macho. A show about colorful, magical ponies? Whatever.  Also, I've recently decided to give Phineas and Ferb a shot and it's really started to grow on me. In fact, it's my new morning show. I can't stand what passes for morning television these days. The last time I tuned into the Today show the first thing I got was a news story about a little girl getting kidnapped, raped, murdered, dismembered and left in a garbage bin. Who the hell wants to hear all that first thing in the morning? I can tune into P&F and there's not a single negative or unpleasant thing in the whole program. It's the perfect thing to watch to get me in the right mood to start the day.

So, word has it that they're bringing Teen Titans back in 2013 as Teen Titans Go and this time it's going to be a straight up comedy. As much as I liked TT, I really think they should have just kept it retired. Personally, I would have rather seen them try and reinvent the franchise all together.

I've been watching the French episodes with subtitles and it's really good so far. We're only 14 episodes in though. Wow. That's something like a thirty year gap between seasons. Talk about a delay. Also, that trailer is sharp as hell! Which network is picking it up? Think they'll rerun the original series to promote it? Probably not, seeing as how old it is but it would be cool if someone did that.

I've only seen a few preview clips of Beware the Batman and all I can say is that despite it being an honest effort, I'm just not feeling it. I grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series so the bar is set pretty high for me as far as Batman is concerned. I was living overseas when B:TAS came out so I couldn't watch it on TV. Luckily, I had a friend who had a buddy back in America who would tape all the episodes for him on VHS and mail them to him to watch at home. It was the only way any of us could get to watch Batman in Germany so it goes without saying that kid was King Cool.
