I wish we had another Samurai Jack. A show that just has a few main characters and just puts them into different situations. Like an animated Quantum Leap.
The Bronze Age of CN? What were the Golden Age and Silver Age?
I'm glad you asked.
The Golden Age was the era of Cartoons Cartoons. Everything was new and fresh and experimental. New cartoons were brought in by the bushel. Creators had power!
The Silver Age started around when Staples became CEO. The zaniness was toned down a bit, more new material was brought in from other channels. Samurai Jack and Juniper Lee brought continuity to the network for the first time. Adult Swim happened, allowing for the Golden Age experimentalism to continue on a smaller scale. All in all, a period of maturity .
don't forget, during the Golden Age they showed reruns of The Classics too, before the media "don't focus on anything more than a few years old" mentality set in
True. Boomerang was also part of the streamlining process that the Silver Age did.
Boomerang was once SO boss but I take issue with its narrow distribution

Johnny Test is a bowl of unflavored lukewarm porridge that's constantly screaming at you
Johnny Test's long run is inexplicable in part because by the end, it very much came off as the kind of throwaway kids' show that doesn't get made anymore, and never lasted more than a season or two when it was.
George of the Jungle was an attempt to revive a 1960s Jay Ward cartoon that I need to watch

What bugged me the most back when I still watched TV was that it was so clearly a ripoff of Dexter's Laboratory.
Red-haired geniuses who make stuff, blonde sibling who screws it up, teenage antagonist with a bowlcut, etc.
It's one thing to make a terrible show. It's another to poorly rip off a show that actually has merit. Imagine if 50 Shades of Grey was fanfiction from Harry Potter instead of Twilight. That's how it felt to me.
Huh. Yeah, it does. I mean, basically everyone on the show is sociopathic until the mandatory "but we really love each other" bit near the end. That's basically Fairly Oddparents in a nutshell.

I thought of Invader Zim when you said that.
Invader Zim makes no compunctions about everybody being normal people at heart. They're terrible and we know that. No veneer of normalcy
"It doesn't matter who you vote for, just vote" is a weird sentiment.
If you want to vote for candidates I don't agree with, I am perfectly fine with you staying home.
I am not going to support laws keeping you from voting, but I'm not gonna make you vote if I don't want your candidate to win.
by the same token, the quotation "I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it" - whoever said that, I dunno - is weird too.
That was Voltaire, and honestly, I agree with it for the most part. But I also agree with Karl Popper's assertion that a truly tolerant society must be tacitly intolerant of intolerance, which complicates things.
To put it as simply as I can, I think people have the right to say, short of calls to harm others, whatever they want, but that same right applies to those who wish to call them out or marginalise them should those words be hateful or wilfully ignorant.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
We had to give our golden retriever away after I moved back to Singapore. No room for a big dog like Daisy.
My dad gave her to one of his colleagues a couple of years ago. Today, I saw a picture of her on the guy’s social media, commenting on how he’s going to buy her a red collar for Chinese New Year.
"I love you my daughter," the message went on to say.
First off that’s creepy.
Second of all, I got mad jelly.
Third of all, you all need to know how much I miss my dog.
I think it's more that voter apathy is a byproduct (one favorable for the status quo) of voter suppression.
Yeah, that does make sense.
I think I was thinking of the people like Imi who are on the Democrat side of things but can't be bothered to actually vote for them, in addition to the very real suppression of Democrat votes among certain other demographics that occurs.

It's not just Democrats; it's any party that challenges the status quo from the left. The Republican establishment fears the Democratic minority vote, but both parties fear the destruction of their two-option monopoly on national politics.
Which I think may finally begin to make death preparations in my lifetime, praise Glob.

voter apathy is a (intentional?) byproduct of policymakers breaking the legislative system for political gain and then turning around and telling voters how much the government sucks so therefore they should get rid of government.
i think the anime fans i run into care to speak of things as spoilers because a lot of them have seen parts of a show and they'd recognize things like the characters or such and have a context in which to process a spoiler
meanwhile it'd be more spoilery to tell ME that i'm looking at a spoiler because i havent' even seen the show
if you didn't tell me i'm looking at a spoiler I WOULDN"T EVEN KNOW IT IS ONE

We would probably lose a lot of trash can lids if we didn't have the hinged kind, thinking about it

with obnoxious flash animation that is uninspired.

@Klinotaxis: But I thought you were already my sister?
All-Star Superman is great and I reread it at least once every year.
You should also all read Multiversity, which is also pretty great.

no, it's only dysfunctional because YOU AND YOUR BAND OF ASSWIPES got yourselves elected and then MADE it dysfunctional by breaking things everywhere
