    The Wander over Yonder Thread

    I feel like this is long overdue. I think this is Craig McCracken's finest show since The Powerpuff Girls. You've just gotta love the concept of a banjo-plucking space hippie with a need to help others (often at his own expense) traveling across various acid-colored galaxies with his trusty...

    Pig Goat Banana Cricket

    This is a new Nick series I'm mixed on. On one hand, I do like the intertwined plots used for the four characters, and the Ren & Stimpy/Gary Baseman-esque art style. But on the other hand, its insanity isn't as structured and refined as something like R&S or Uncle Grandpa. Plus, while the...

    R.I.P. Satoru Iwata

    A little old, but I felt it would be appropriate to create a separate thread to honor Nintendo president and CEO of Nintendo of America, who died last weekend at the age of 55 from a bile duct tumor, which explains his absence from E3 this year and also last year...

    R.I.P. Christopher Lee (1922-2015)

    Dracula, Saruman, and Count Dooku himself has sadly passed away at the ripe old age of 93 back in June 7 after suffering heart and respiratory problems. He will certainly be missed. :cry: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/11/christopher-lee-dies-at-the-age-of-93-dracula

    "Mega Man" will be getting a Mega-new Mega-animated series!

    It will be produced by Man of Action Entertainment, the same guys behind Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble on Disney XD, and will be set to release in 2017, the year of the franchise's 30th anniversary. Going by those former shows, I'm guessing it will utilize traditional animation with...

    Yooka-Laylee: A love letter to 3D platform games

    Fans of 3D collect-a-thon platformers from the N64 era rejoice! Many of the developers from Rare are forming their own company and creating a spiritual successor of their magnum opus Banjo-Kazooie called Yooka-Laylee (get it?). It stars a chameleon and bat duo using their unique skills like...

    BoJack Horseman

    This Netflix series is one of my favorite adult cartoons currently out there behind Bob's Burgers, Rick & Morty, and Archer. It's about a washed-up anthropomorphic horse who used to be a big sitcom star and who lives in a universe where humans and furries co-exist (and apparently no actual...

    The new Inspector Gadget series

    I was a bit skeptical of this new series at first, but after seeing it firsthand, it's pretty good, and still miles above the damage Disney did. I like how it's set in the not-too-distant future with Gadget coming out of retirement and Penny (now a teen like in Gadgetinis, and voiced by Tara...

    Miles From Tomorrowland

    And no, I'm not talking about the futuristic section of Disneyland or the upcoming Tomorrowland movie; rather, it's another shockingly enjoyable preschool series from Disney. It's a lot like Star Trek for kids, with a little bit of Tron thrown in with some of the aesthetics. The show has some...

    Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero impressions

    Even though I'm still looking forward to Star vs. the Forces of Evil more, this is a nice little show to hold me over. It's essentially Quantum Leap or Sliders for kids in which the main character and two of his friends temporarily possess the heroes of other dimensions to fight off the villain...

    Fresh Off the Boat impressions

    ABC has been firing on all four cylinders lately with its sitcoms (at least the single-camera ones anyway), and Fresh is no exception. It's the first sitcom starring Asian-Americans since Margaret Cho's All American Girl, but unlike that one, I can see this lasting more than 1 season, mainly...

    2015 Academy Awards Thread

    Here are the nominees that were just announced for the 87th annual Academy Awards coming up next month. http://oscar.go.com/nominees?cid=oscars_nominees_announcement_cadillac Kinda unfair that Selma is in there seeing as it got a limited Christmas release last year and a wide release this...

    Over the Garden Wall impressions

    This is a new Cartoon Network miniseries created by former Flapjack and Adventure Time writer Patrick McHale about two brothers trying to find their way home through a mysterious and creepy forest. It's an interesting little series with its Studio Ghibli-esque tone and the humorous dynamic...

    Comic strips you'd love to see as animated series

    So, what strips (whether on paper or online) would you look forward to seeing as an animated series? Here's a few of mine. - Calvin & Hobbes (if only Bill Watterson didn't have such a big stick up his butt when it comes to tasteful licensing, then this would be an obvious choice.) - Baby Blues...

    So It's Come to This: A Clip Show Thread

    Where would TV shows be without the budget-saving potential of the clip show? In the old days before reruns, DVDs, and the Internet, clip shows was more tolerated and allowed people to re-live moments from their favorite episodes, but nowadays it's seen as cheap. This thread is to discuss the...

    Reading Rainbow app a huge Kickstarter success

    You don't have to take LeVar Burton's word for this: The Reading Rainbow educational app made to promote literacy across America hit its $1 million goal on Kickstarter in less than a day, and is over $3.5 million in pledges with over 78,000 backers. And yet funding has still got 25 days to go as...

    Who didn't see this coming?

    You're not going to like this one, Drtooth. The CW's Saturday morning block Vortexx will be coming to an end in September of this year and will be replaced by One (not so) Magnificent Morning, containing the same dull E/I crap plaguing the other networks that nobody watches, but is oh-so-cheap...

    Interesting comic about cartoon focus groups

    Didn't know where else to put this, but this is just a little behind-the-scenes look at the testing of Green Lantern: TAS that I thought was pretty inspirational. Most of the kids aged 6-11 in the focus group were genuinely interested about the episode they were shown (some of the older ones...

    Steven Colbert to replace David Letterman in 2015

    With Dave announcing his retirement from The Late Show next year, Stephen Colbert was chosen to fill his shoes. The writers on his show will go with him, too. http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/10/stephen-colbert-letterman/ Steve will be dropping his ultra right wing screen personality in favor...
