    The All-Purpose Transformers thread

    Animated was an entire brand relaunch, even though the movies started coming up around that time. From what I can condense the story into its basic form, Beast Machine was to be followed up by another American/Canadian produced series, but the reception for Beast Machines was so bad, they took...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I feel they could have done a lot more with the lost world/land that time forgot concept as well. Maybe have Beast Boy connect to his prehistoric roots or something. But I think it was at least worth it to see Robin choose a raptor because it can open doors, only to have it completely struggle...

    The All-Purpose Transformers thread

    So it looks like Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime is finally going to be in a Bayformers flick after being rumored the past 3 movies now. Unfortunately, he doesn't look all that impressive. So, anyone collect the "Tiny Titans" bagged figures that you can easily see who you're getting if you hold the bag...

    The Bob's Burgers Discussion Thread

    Rewatched the first episode of Bob's Burgers, and Linda has a little exchange with Bob, thinking he was secretly planning something for their anniversary. And of course, I watch Amazing World of Gumball, so naturally... I couldn't help but blend the two together Oh my God indeed.

    Dreamworks' "Home" to become a Netflix series

    I caught the first episode. It's pretty cute, and close enough to the movie to be a related cartoon, but just distant enough that you don't need to see the movie to get it. It takes a few cues, probably unintentionally, from Star vs. The Forces of Evil, visually and thematically. Oh seems to...

    Where are the older humans?

    I don't think the show would be let go so lightly. Look at how much hoopla the news breaking of older cast members being "fired" caused, especially to those who haven't watched the show in decades so they didn't know they were quietly phased out. As soon as SW would report "50 years is a long...

    The Steven Universe thread

    So there were two episodes that had some heartbreaking revelations about Amethyst. While it was discussed before, she really hates herself. We find out why...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    Well, more of a Jurassic Park and "Land that time forgot" trope parody. Seemed like it was about to go through a Lost parody..maybe they're saving that for the end?

    Ghostbusters 3 finally on the way? You decide!

    The one thing that impressed me was that despite all the bullcrap about how "feminazi" this movie was, they managed to make a small statement about double standards with Kevin the secretary. He was only hired because Kristin Wiig's character thought he was hot.

    New Mickey Mouse Shorts Announced

    The whole 1950's era of Goofy cartoons, actually. Even down to the everyone in the universe is the same human dog thing as Goofy. Like the one about driving safety, which it reminded me the most of (even though there were sports themed ones, I don't remember them as much). And having Mickey...

    The Chipmunks

    There's something off about how the framerate looks to me. Like they removed the Coconut Effect of making the show grainy to look more like a professional film. Something they've done with all CGI movies, actually. Like when I saw Beetlejuice on an HD TV at someone's house and the HD filter...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I have a feeling that's just because of natural show progression. It seems they we on a path to regularly, if not recurringly, do more referential DC comics stuff, but the writers were all "screw it" and wrote was was easier and funnier for them. Also doesn't help the third season essentially...

    Where are the older humans?

    I don't know if that apology threw the writers under the bus or what. Though it does seem like the reasonable, rational thing to get out of this is no one was really fired, per se, but rather not hired this past season or two. Whatever this means, I didn't think you could fire a cast member if...

    Danger Mouse and Powerpuff Girls both announced for comebacks

    To be honest, while I watched the original series for the villains and characters outside the girls, Buttercup was my favorite of the bunch. So I have a little bias. I like the writing of the character and even her voice change making her sound more gruff. Even like the cowlick. With...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I think the fact it's on so much of the day pretty much tells you it wasn't going anywhere. It's not like Nicktoons, where if a show is on that much of it's line up you know it's going to be cancelled, and the Nick execs don't want kids to know that (or exactly what I like to call what happened...

    When you need to rant...

    Ehhhh... because Apple doesn't have a huge team of lawyers and lobbyists to roll out to make sure change never happens? It's like I always say, real guns are on noooo touchy basis, and there's that delightful paranoid kook paradox where militias stock up guns so they can fight against someone...

    Behold... the New Teen Titans Cartoon...

    I don't know it's intentional, but notice how the Thurston Howell expy looks just a bit like Mr. Magoo, which we all know is the same actor. Also, the fact they built a rocket to get off the island? Gilligan's Planet. Heck, the lunch/launch button could even be attributed to Far Out Space...

    Where are the older humans?

    I would have made a reference to Superman, but that gag was discredited well before the first movie. Didn't even come from Superman, he just wound up using something from a parody.

    Big Bird on Soul Man (1998)

    To be fair, it was a step above the usual so precious family sitcom that was trying too hard to be the TGIF formula from the 80's. Akroyd and Clark (and Goodman in the case) bumped the show up from being forgettable and less than mediocre to not bad, certainly ABC did worse (cough cough...Hope...
