they're not gonna totally rape the looney tunes after all :o

[ItalianStereotype]

this petition (http://www.saveourlooneytunes.com/index.htm) got the network to start from scratch on the characters. now if only we could have saved the ninja turtles and batman from the WB's death ridden touch :<

news article on it, even: :o (http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/27/cartoon.controversy.ap/index.html)

[FS]

wow, that little boy is cool.

[ziggytrix]

And what about Porky Pig? Is poor Porky destined to stutter and remain fat and pantless for the rest of history?

[Emu]

that layout is painful ;-;

good site though :( I hope it really works

I wish they would run the TMNT episodes from the 80's. That would totally get me to watch Kids WB. :(

[ItalianStereotype]

I'm more hurt by what they did to Batman. the first episode I saw had the Penguin say "the Osmeister is in the hizzouse" and then do a spinning bicycle kick into Batman's chest.

not even tequila took the edge off that one.

[Guitar Woman]

What's up with them renaming it "The Batman?" It's not The batman, It's just Batman. :(

[Spectre X]

Actually, Batman's been referred to as The Batman ever since his first appearance. Batman is just used more often these days because it's shorter.

[ziggytrix]

He's holdin up pretty well for a 66 year old comic book character.

[EverythingWillSuck]

Oh man that backpage burns my eyes.

Guess this proves the main target age isn't impressed either.

[Drev]

Actually, I like the new TMNT cartoon. :(

[Chojin]

yeah, the new TMNT is good. I don't think some of you people even watch the crap from the 80s that you hold in such high regard. I downloaded some old TMNT episodes a year ago and was dumbfounded by how completely queer all the turtles sounded.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I don't mind the new TMNT. I watch it when I'm awake for it saturday mornings. Too bad the new batman is fucking gut wrenchingly awful from what I've seen. WHY DOES HE LOOK DEFORMED?

[Supafly345]

I would hate all cartoons if the older one's didn't hold such a powerful nostalgic vice on my happiness. Yeah, chojin is right, young people have a stupid inclination to prefer anything from the 80's these days, even if they are too young to realise that only that less than half of the original TMNT series premeired in the 80's for example.

So to me, every cartoon made within the past 7 years is total crap. But I hate everyone who agrees with me.

[ItalianStereotype]

no way, some recent cartoons are gold. like Justice League and Megas XLR :o

and even some of the older classics, like Superman: The Animated Series, kept going into this century.

[Rongi]

this is gonna sound gay but i liked Batman Beyond

[Rongi]

oh and 90s cartoons > 80s cartoons fools

what the fuck did the 80s have anyway. all i remember is the chipmunks and i HATED that damn show.

[executioneer]

it sounds to me like they are still going to rape them, just not in the same way

[the_dudefather]

where was the internet poll to stop baby loony tunes?

[Emu]

David the Gnome and Yogi's Treasure Hunt kicked ass >:

[ziggytrix]

Now that I think about it, I remember David the Gnome. Nickolodeon show right? He was always riding around on a fox named Swift or some shit - dodging trolls or ogres, yeah?

If so, pretend I bolded that one too.

Was Treasure Hunt like Laff-O-Lympics or Wacky Races, cuz I don't remember that one at all. :(

[HickMan]

I hate Wacky Races

[Rongi]

ok so A LOT of those shows are fantastic

but i still like 90s cartoons better :(. Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, The Simpsons ( TRACY ULLMAN YEARS DO NOT COUNT >: ), Rocko's Modern Life are just like a few examples. biotch

[Supafly345]

I have never had cable, so that might be why I hate cartoons.

[eggyolk]

did anyone else watch jam sharks :(

[the_dudefather]

surprised you did'nt mention duckman.....

[Emu]

Was Treasure Hunt like Laff-O-Lympics or Wacky Races, cuz I don't remember that one at all. :(

Sorta. It was basically about Yogi and a bunch of other Hannah Barbara characters looking for treasure for some reason. I only saw one episode, but I watched it like a thousand times as a kid cuz I had it on tape. >:

[ItalianStereotype]

surprised you did'nt mention duckman.....

duckman sucked anyway.

exosquad rocked too :o

[Zomboid]

Bucky O'Hare was another classic when I was a kid. Captain Planet is still on TBS at like 5am saturday mornings...I've caught it a few times when I've come home drunk.

[Schimid]

There are actually a ton of old cartoons that it seems that no-one but me remembers. There was one with a group of pigs that were supposed to be teenagers living in some town or something and they liked pizza and stuff. It was like an elaboration on the old three pigs thing, but they were hip and rad and there was an entire series. It wasn't that bad.

There's another one with this purple blob thing that I think could turn into anything. He lived on a different world and came here and some other crap but I remember I kinda liked that show too.

Oh, and Tom And Jerry Kids. :(

[ziggytrix]

I have never had cable, so that might be why I hate cartoons.

get the hell outta this thread you soulless monster.

[Supafly345]

Hey, does anyone remember Barnyard Commandoes? That show was swell.

[James]

this is gonna sound gay but i liked Batman Beyond

The general consensus was that Batman Beyond was good, if not great. It's still unclear why it got cancelled, since it was one of the best-rated shows on the station at the time.

And the new TMNT isn't too bad, either. It's not MY taste, for sure, but it seems like they did a fairly good job with it.

[Rongi]

the other batman series that came from the 90s ( it had a similiar drawing style to the superman series ) was also quite good. pretty dark for a kid's show too.

[ItalianStereotype]

batman: tas came before superman: tas :o

that's the best batman show that's ever been done

[HickMan]

I remember watching the cartoon Spiderman series a whole bunch, too. I am a 90's child, and proud of it >:

[Zomboid]

Yeah, the spider-man animated series kicked ass too. Also, anyone remember that show with cows who were...COWBOYS?:o

[Rongi]

The X-Men animated series was pretty good too.

[ItalianStereotype]

wasn't it cowboys of moo mesa? that show was terrible :<

mighty max, megaman, samurai pizza cats, and earthworm jim haven't been mentioned yet though :o

[Supafly345]

The cowboy show only lasted 2 seasons I think, probably because they took guns that shot sherif badges seriously.

[Zomboid]

The X-Men animated series was pretty good too.
Yup, got every episode downloaded...gimme a jaaaangle if ya want me to send ya any via aim.

Also, what was that show based on the little toys? Monsters in my pocket?

I remember those. I can't find a damned thing about them, though, except for "Tom and Jerry Kids".

[Schimid]

Oh shits, Cowboys Of Moo Mesa was an awesome arcade game.

Thanks for reminding me.

[ItalianStereotype]

the guy that did the voice of the cows has literally been in every fucking cartoon ever.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0191906/

[executioneer]

and Charlie Adler (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0012121/) has been in the rest of them

[FS]

Don't forget Frank Welker, Jeff Bennet and Tony Jay.

[Supafly345]

Michael Bell (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068407/) too.

[ziggytrix]

Mel Fucking Blanc >:

[Rongi]

Billy West has been in a lot of cartoons.

[Skulhedface]

What's weird about most of these cartoon voice actors is that they have a startling lack of versatility (unless you count accents).

For example: Billy West's Fry sounds exactly like his Stimpy. If you watch Futurama with your eyes closed, it makes for a funny mental picture.

Cowboys Of Moo Mesa was horrible, but for some odd reason everytime I see it mentioned I can remember the theme song.

[the_dudefather]

Michael Bell (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068407/) too.

:rock

[Zomboid]

Don't forget Frank Welker, Jeff Bennet and Tony Jay.

I really like Tony Jay, but I think he was a baaaad choice for Magneto in X-Men Legends...I keep thinking of Megabyte from reboot:(

[Mike P]

There's also Scott McNeil, who was in a lot of stuff. But then he started doing mainly anime.

[James]

For example: Billy West's Fry sounds exactly like his Stimpy. If you watch Futurama with your eyes closed, it makes for a funny mental picture.

Billy West also voiced Farnsworth and Zoidberg, though. That right there is a perfect counterpoint to your comment. He is quite versatile, and with his resume, it's hard NOT to have a voice or two that end up overlapping in similarities.

How many voices can YOU do that don't result in your killing your throat by doing on a regular basis?

[ItalianStereotype]

he also did nixon :o

aroo

[Rongi]

Billy West is an extremely talented voice-over. He has helped make Zoidberg one of the greatest fictional characters ever created.

[Skulhedface]

OK, I admit I stand corrected, but looking at the basics, Fry and Stimpy are lead characters, and the lead characters he voices do sound alike.

Doug, for example.

I really like Tony Jay, but I think he was a baaaad choice for Magneto in X-Men Legends...I keep thinking of Megabyte from reboot:(

I was thinking more like Virgil from Mighty Max, but that also means I agree with you. It's a bit bizarre to hear the owl from Mighty Max threatening to destroy the X-Men.

[EverythingWillSuck]

About that pig one mentioned earlier, did the pigs fight in medieval times too? I remember an SNES game based on that.

[the_dudefather]

its wierd how tony jay plays a good 'narrator' or disembodied voice role

soul reaver - elder god (mostly in the form of a disembodied voice)
time bandits - disembodied floaty head thing
hey arnold - disembodied voice
etc...

[maggiekarp]

Going through those lists made me think about all the old cartoons I used to watch as a little kid. Sniff... :(


Usagi Yojimbo versus Bucky O'Hare. WHO WOULD WIN??

[ItalianStereotype]

NO NO NO, NONE OF THAT

[EverythingWillSuck]

About that pig one mentioned earlier, did the pigs fight in medieval times too? I remember an SNES game based on that.

I found it, it's called 'Power Piggs'

[Emu]

They would merge to form the ultimate space samurai >:
