I'm just disappointed this wasn't met with more fanfare on the Internet's part. Usually you'd find somewhere that announced something like this at least a few weeks in advance. I didn't even see it as of last week watching any of Nick's Saturday Morning shows. Just yesterday during that one...

The thing that really gets me is when it's announced BanDai's on board with something. They planned on this big Foster's Home toyline, and there was a lot of potential for that one. They're where M.U.S.C.L.E.S. came from, and they certainly could have had a collectible 1.5" figure line of as...

In other "what hath we wrought" news... Salmon flavored candy. Come on Japan! Don't do this to yourselves.

I really don't get CN's merchandising presence. Not back then, and certainly not now. I get that PPG was their big money maker, and Dexter had a very small run of things. Other than fast food premiums, the other shows really didn't have a mark presence. Still the case, mind you. Sure...

Okay, with absolutely no fanfare, the new Chipmunks cartoon is scheduled to air this very Monday at 4PM on Nickelodeon. How do I know? A commercial for the series randomly popped up during Pig Goat Banana Cricket. And then, only one. There was an ad per commercial break for Nick's next "We...

I'll just say the same toon logic that keeps Bart stuck in the 4th grade for 27 years.

Did... did that sketch tell me to "suck it" at the beginning? :electric:

It's blatantly obvious who Knuckles is supposed to be. Think of another major video game franchise that stars a blue guy who, in his own third installment, was antagonized by a red guy. That's probably why Archie had those Sonic/Mega Man crossovers. Strangely, in neither of them is this...

That's the thing that really gets my goat about these things. Clearly, these companies aren't going to sponsor these shows just for the obvious PR and tax advantages. They want to go as far as advertising as possible without looking like a commercial (unlike the non-kid's programming where the...

I just saw an example of another exception to the rule. Tales from the Far Side. By no means is it bad, or poorly done by any means, but it's just...off. It's a brilliant piece of animation if you take it for what it is. Somehow it feels like Courage the Cowardly Dog (specifically the early...

I find that a general rule of comic strip based cartoon series that the animated series is always superior for that exact reason. Single frame strips like Heathcliff and Dennis the Menace got some great expansion through their DIC produced shows, Garfield is always better animated, and...

My absolute favorite one happened in Ned's Newt. Ned is selling newspapers, and Newton does what he does causing Ned to go from the most in-demand paperboy to media conglomerate CEO. How does he lose money in this one? Simple. Because he went from conglomerate to monopoly, with all the...

I'd say that's "Status Quo is God." But yeah, there should be one specificall towards the ever cliche winning something only to lose it on some technicality. Taxes, lottery number backwards or upside down or invalid somehow, paying for damages... clearly we can't have a show where someone wins...

This show is absolutely adorable. I'm glad I decided to give this series a chance, and it fits in perfectly with their other CN originals. I love how Panda has a subtle obsession with Asian culture, but he's clearly a white American kid that loves Asian stuff. That could have gone very close...

Hey. Maybe if Fozzie gets waxed, his old fur will grow back.

Another horrifying Cringevenom find. Now, this I'd normally just dump on the "worst/creepiest Puppet work" thread (I think I may have, not that I think about it), but this is just ... just watch. SEE?!?! It's like some horrifying alternate universe version of MST3K where one guy is all the...

Cut above? That's an understatement. I'd say more like the Letter People Reboot is...effort of some kind. I just don't get why there's so many of those things online. Do they actually get any ad revenue?

On the contrary. I'm surprised they even got that much. :smirk: Lumping the Muppet Show in there with kid's edutainment aside, this guy has a point. We have an insane amount of preschool shows. It's a freaking gold mine. We have at least 3 whole cable channels devoted to it now. It's the...
