I loved and still love Courage the Cowardly Dog BECAUSE it was weird. The weird and the strange is just so fantastic!



What gets me about parents' over-sensitivity is when they say the Tom and Jerry episodes where Tom smokes need to be banned because it will encourage kids to smoke. The cigarettes and cigars pretty much always had a bad ending to them. I never once saw an episode at any age and thought, "Yes... Yes, I too could be cool if I had a cigar that exploded in my face and burned me into ashes!"

Like those candy cigerettes, they banned those.

But they don't banned pixie stixs

@Taradiddle YEAHH! courage the cowdarly dog :)!

I must have a grim sense of humor because I loved courage. Katz was my favorite villain and I remembered the one I liked the most for some odd reason was the one with cousin fred, and the one with the balloons that made every one depressed.

Oh man they need to bring back the old cartoons. I would love to see Looney Tunes on Saturday morning cartoons again. It's like they started blaming tv for kids turning to crime so they took out all the worth watching cartoons instead. An yet here they are bringing out more an more tv shows that are violent or suggestive during hours kids are watching tv. I think they have a few screws loose and should get that fixed an bring back our cartoons. >:{

Or they are making a show that adults would watch to more kid friendly like reality TV Shows, since parents don't want their kids to watch reality TVs so they made a cartoon reality-show based series.

The thing that drives me nuts is not only how sometimes their sense of humor is different from mine. Kids love slapstick comedy and the follow-ups to the funny parts and for me I find it weird and not to be mean stupid.

And what the characters look like, The females on the show are unrealistically curvy, large busts, a tiny waistlines, then huge hips (reminds me of the Barbie mayhem eras)and god forbid if women have large feet. And the males are skinny from waist down then from the waist up very muscular broad chest and shoulders.

Everything has also just changed to 3-D mostly..so that's why everything pretty much sucks now. >.<; 2-D animation is just waaaaaaaaaaaaay better. And they have ran out of ideas. l:

[Taradiddle]

I like some of the movies Pixar does, but if 2-D animation goes forever, so do I. Buh-bye, Earth. You have failed me. >:[

Echo: Maybe you just weren't meant to enjoy cartoons? Though admittedly, I think Total Drama Island is the worst cartoon idea ever. (P.S.: It wasn't made by Cartoon Network Studios, Cartoon Network the channel just got the rights to show it. Even so, television studios do not come up with shows. Someone presents them an idea and either they hire that person or they reject the project.)

[Echo-chan713]

True, I was more of the anime type of person, not the American Cartoons (maybe Canadians, not so sure).

They should of rejected that Total Drama Island idea XP

[Taradiddle]

The only Canadian cartoons I know of are Ed, Edd 'n Eddy and Total Drama Island. And yes, Total Drama Island should have totally been rejected. For one, it wasn't funny, secondly, kids do not find reality shows entertaining, and lastly, it's a CARTOON, so you can't even call it a reality show because it's impossible to NOT be scripted.

Also, I finally got around to watching an episode of Young Justice. It's an interesting show, but what the hell is with Jesse McCartney as Robin??? Ah well, fuck it, as long as he does a good job, I'm not gonna care.

[Taradiddle]

I'm the opposite, I have a hard time getting into animes. The cutesy, whiny girls really get to me and I will drop off an anime instantaneously if that character comes up. I'm not too impressed with the art styles either, for the most part. Same body types again and again, same facial expressions again and again...

Though there are a few that have made themselves exceptions to the rule.

[Poggio]

XD its it bad that I enjoyed the first season of Total drama island? I felt like it shouldn't have been on TV though. There should never be a reason, that a cartoon character should have to have his crotch bleeped out on TV.

[Duchess]

I get annoyed at an anime/manga/game when the "genki" girl shows up.... She. Is. Very. Annoying. =_=''
That... and the Type A girl.. That's so loving and kind and a bit shy and asdffgghhhh No.. just.. NO!

That's my beef with eastern stuff right there.. Sometimes those characters can be played off well that it doesn't annoy me. But most of the times... it does not >__<

I too am sad with the lack of traditional 2D *frowns* This world is just getting more and more sucky by the second.

Dont get me wrong... 3D films are gorgeous in their own right.... but when your movie can be just as accurately told in 2D... I just don't see the point.

I just want more traditional stuff. Not direct to video er.. dvd...err...bluray crap! Not piss poor, low budget poopfests that make a Disney Channel Original Movie look like GOLD... and DEF not the syndicated series they have out now. It just doesn't appeal to me... AT ALL

There was a pilot called "The Modifyers".. WHY CAN'T SOMEONE PICK THAT UP?? :V

[Taradiddle]

CG isn't a bad medium for cartoons, but it's not my favorite. Unless it was a sci-fi movie, in which CG would probably be perfect. Not that there haven't been any really AWESOME 2D sci-fi cartoons before, (Treasure Planet, anyone?), but CG would get all those little details that really make a sci-fi visually fantastic. Yet, for all the tiny, amazing details that can be put into a CG cartoon, I feel like it doesn't push the same boundaries that 2-D does.

As for 3D in movies... I feel like it's really unnecessary, as far as the popping out effect goes, at least. Now, if it were used more for defining the depth of fore-front objects and characters against background objects and scenery, then I would consider it a lot more polishing. (Like, instead of pushing front objects closer, make background go back.)

I never liked Courage the Cowardly Dog.
It scared me as a child so I still don't watch it.
I don't know what's with the live-action these days.
Some of them are good, not very many though, but the majority of them suck. o.o

[Taradiddle]

Somebody should tell live action to go back to the kitchen and make us some cartoons.
