    References Towards Other Animated Programs In Animation

    There was an episode of the Aladdin animated series where the genie transformed everyone into Talespin characters. There was an Animaniacs episode where the Warner siblings were "rented out" to other studios, and appeared in several different cartoons, including Bullwinkle, Fat Albert and...

    Anthropomorphic animals and human relations in animation

    Rocky and Bullwinkle appeared to be the only anthros in their world, yet no one seemed to find the idea of a talking moose or squirrel strange at all.

    Do female action figures really not sell?

    I got a Wonder Woman figure for Christmas one year along with a bunch of other DC Super Heroes characters. I also got April O'Neil and Janine from Ghostbusters to "complete the cast". It never seemed weird or out of place to me.

    Popular cartoons you never got into

    Rugrats- I always found their baby talk annoying. George of the Jungle- Always seemed kind of stupid to me. GI Joe- Ridiculous plots that seemed to drag on forever. Care Bears- Way too corny. Most of the newer Adult Swim shows- It seems like they're running out of ideas. Gummi Bears- The one...

    Country clichés in cartoons

    British characters are almost always wealthy and aristocratic. Eastern Europeans are always from rural backgrounds and adhere to bizarre and outlandish customs and traditions. African natives tend to speak in clicks and pops. Hawaii is always shown as a land of luaus, laid-back surfers...

    Characters that bring very little to the show

    The whiny reporter Vern from the original TMNT Bubba the cave duck from DuckTales Huey, Dewey and Louie on House of Mouse Tails was basically a bystander on the SatAM Sonic Bo, Booker and Sheldon from the US Acres cartoons on Garfield and Friends Barney became pointless on the Simpsons after he...

    Worst cartoon theme songs...

    [/I] The original "Friends are There" theme was used on the first two seasons. The "Ready to Party" theme was used for most of the rest of the show's run, and a there was an awful hip-hop based one used during the last season, which is the one I referred to.

    CN Shows Show Up in the Strangest Places...

    Don't remember the specifics, but I remember seeing an episode of Cops once where Ed, Edd & Eddy was playing in the background as the cops confronted whoever it was they were after.

    Cartoons you liked when you were younger and now your realize they suck

    I actually thought that the plot for Space Jam was good until they brought the basketball nonsense into it. If it had just been about the Looney Tunes characters and their battles with an alien theme park owner, it might have been halfway decent.

    Seperate shows that exist in the same "universe"

    Also, I think the A-Team is real in the Alvin and the Chipmunks universe. In the episode with Mr. T, I don't believe there was any indication that he was an actor. Of course, I haven't seen that show in years, so my memories could be a little cloudy.

    Seperate shows that exist in the same "universe"

    In one episode of Darkwing Duck, Darkwing's costume ripped and he had a TaleSpin shirt underneath. Also, in the episode where the cartoon creator built a device to tap into different universes, they had Darkwing and Chip 'N Dale's Rescue Rangers existing in separate worlds. Inspector Gadget...

    Old-School CN Nostalgia Thread (1990s)

    I miss the "Super Chunk" blocks of classic cartoons every weekend, and seeing Rocky and Bullwinkle every Saturday night at 11, followed by Dudley Do-Right.

    CN's Best Current Offering.

    I'll have to go with Foster's and the Eds. Juniper Lee and Lazlo are OK, but I can't stand Billy and Mandy or Codename: Kids Next Door.

    Cartoon scenes that make you cry

    I always found the early episodes of Ed, Edd & Eddy where the Eds are just trying to fit in with the other kids to be a little sad. The final episode of Home Movies The 1939 Disney Short The Ugly Duckling. Can't get through this one without tearing up. The episode of Alvin & The Chipmunks...

    An "Yogi Bear" take-off in "Bobby's World"

    There was also a parody of Popeye. Weren't there also parodies of some live-action shows (Murphy Brown, Coneheads) or was that another episode?

    Camp Lazlo...I think I like it

    Camp Lazlo is a nice change of pace from the deluge of spunky teenage girl shows and bad anime wannabes that seems to have taken over the animation world. The only similarity I can see between this and Rocko is that you have an older guy who hates the main character for no real reason.

    Does Anyone Remember the Show Dinosaurs????

    The last I saw of Dinosaurs was five or six years ago when the Disney Channel reran it. Disney used to show good stuff in early mornings. Now it's just rehashes of their normal lineup.

    Theme songs that make you convulse in agony.

    Super Mario Bros. Super Show- Had to be one of the first themes to try to sound trendy by rapping. "Hooked on the Brothers"? Uggh.

    Cartoons you bitterly dislike for petty reasons.

    I have to agree about Mucha Lucha- As if the stereotypes and crappy animation are not enough, they have to have a character that speaks in the third person, which I really can't stand.

    Useless Characters

    I can think of quite a few characters that fit this category. Mr. Mackey, Principal Victoria, and Tweek from South Park Webby and Bubba the Cave Duck from DuckTales Slimer from the Real Ghostbusters Clarabelle Cow from House of Mouse Pretty much all the parents on Rugrats Nazz from Ed, Edd and...

    Cartoons You hate that everyone else likes

    Rugrats- Annoying and hardly ever funny. Futurama- Overhyped and too overly sentimental (ex. The episode about Fry's brother). Duck Dodgers- Seemed like a good idea, but just plain lame. Liked the old cartoons where Marvin and his dog were the only Martians you'd ever see. Kim Possible- tried to...

    Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper and Jak & Daxter are all video games that I think would translate well into cartoons.

    Cartoons you're embarassed to enjoy!

    I enjoy Arthur, PB&J Otter, Sailor Moon, and Powerpuff Girls. I also enjoyed Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers back in the day, even though it was perceived as being a "baby" show for some reason.

    Underrated and Overrated cartoons

    Overrated: Futurama- Was good when it first started, but started to get sappy after a while. Rugrats X-Men Evolution Scooby-Doo TMNT (new) Animaniacs Duckman- This one has its moments, but I don't think it's as great as so many say it is. Super Mario Bros.- The Mario cartoon segments. The...

    The "What the #%$*?" moments of animation
