Post your reviews of: Cowboy Bebop - "Cowboy Funk"

[Killtacular]

Tonight's Cowboy Bebop episode may not air, due to a silly mistake at CN (apparently they lost the tape).

Most likely taking its place will be Brain Scratch.

If it doesn't air tonight, it will probably air next week, in the place of Brain Scratch.

The Party and Teddy Cam reviews will be up soon.

[Evil Dr. Reef]

Try my new Son-of-a-Gun Stew!
It'll put a fire in your belly!
Hands down, this is the funniest episode of CB in existence. Especially with the whole name-change thing at the end.
"Call me Musashi!"

[Zorakfan]

God bless the jap version of this episode. Musashi...hehe. The engrish lines are hilarious in the full japanese version. My advice is: If you have the DVDs, watch Funk in japanese w/subtitles. it's heeeelarious.

[Galaxia]

They're showing Jupiter Jazz Part I in its place.

They lost the tape? I'm trying very hard not to laugh...

[Spike Mcdougal]

THERE'S NOTHING TO LAUGH AT INSTEAD OF AIRING BRAIN SCRATCH THEY GO BACK TO THE BEGINING!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that

[Galaxia]

I'm talking about CN losing the tape - how can they be so absent-minded? You're right - they should have aired another episode (preferably Brain Scratch) though

[Askinno]

you know that what CN might be trying to do is hold off on showing "Cowboy Funk" tell the saturday night move.

If this is the case then I guess it could be called

1. a smart move to put up even more hipe or

2. a stupied move that is going to piss people off

or

3. CN is still scared to so that type of content after 9-11.

ether way I think that number 2 is going to and already has happened to a lot of people.

oh well

[Galaxia]

I think #3 is pretty likely too - but I'm not sure...

[Killtacular]

Er, please don't insinuate that I'm wrong.

I don't like when people directly say or allude to me not being true to the readers and visitors of this site.

[SSJ_Gogeta]

They are showing episode 12 (Jupiter Jazz pt. 1).

How can they lose the tape to "Cowboy Funk"? Man that is so damn stupid! I wanted to see this ep so bad :(. I ain't mad though. I have lost things before, so I ain't gonna get on someone else.

Anyway AS is a very cool block that has content I can't see anywhere else (or I have to buy it :p), so I aint complaining. If AS went away i'd be very bored on Sunday nights, or I might just have to sleep...

I bet they will start over season 2 now.

[Sora Takenouchi]

Phew! I thought I had missed it! But the fact that someone at CN lost the tape is very funny! Not as funny as Cowboy Funk would've been though...

[Sheamon]

I come down stairs this morning, having gone to bed after setting my VCR to record it last night. All excited to see the last ep of CB that I haven't seen yet. Then I start the tape...

"WTF!?!?!? JUPITER JAZZ!?!?!?!?!?!"

*cries* I hope they get it right on Thursday

Smeg it, someone said exactly what I was thinking. And I wasn't too big a fan of Jupiter Jazz to begin with, so this was a SHARP disappointment.

CN, buncha cowards...

[rmarti3926]

If they show Jupiter Jazz again on Thursday...

I'LL SUE CN'S BUTTS FOR A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!!!

[Killtacular]

Do people just routinely ignore me out of habit, or do I smell bad or something?

CN ISN'T BEING COWARDS. THEY JUST HAVE TO FIND THE TAPE.

[Zorakfan]

I like Matt's response better than the other theories anyway. I mean, it sounds most likely, and it's just downright hilarious!

Hey Bob, uhh...where's Cowboy Funk?

Whatsit? I'm in charge of the scooby doo episodes.

No, no, remember? George came in earlier? Gave you the tape, said we're ready to show it?

Uhh....whuh-oh....

What do you mean uhoh?

Uhh....do you know how many episodes of Scooby doo there are?

....Bob, you dumbass.

Didn't Matt just say it wasn't a theory? This might get grousome. :eek:

Of course, there have been times where I doubted Matt's answers, but they always turn out to be correct.

[Zorakfan]

I meant the others (WTC, build up hype) were theories. They probably did lose the tape.

And you quoted the wrong half of my post!

Ya happy, Space Samurai?

[Zorakfan]

Yes. Much so. A favorable person is you!

[Jimmy Kustes]

Hehe, well, I guess I don't have to put the second part of your reply now. :cool:

[Mr. X]

Does this happen a lot at national networks? I'd be less skeptical if the promo didn't feature a shot of two WTC-like towers exploding...Still, CN told us which episodes they were omitting during the first run, so I see no reason for things to be any different this time round. I just hope they find it by Thursday...

[Askinno]

hello again every body, wow for my first reply and I shore did manage to cause quite a steer up of things.

But, I would like to say that it dose suck episode wasn't shown, and that I do hope that it airs on Thursday cause I don't think that anyone should miss this ep.

As for the other matters a hand I believe Matt and what he says.

My ideas are just that ideas; unless there is this massive consperacy to not show "Cowboy Funk" because it will cause the end of life as we know it, or some other catastrophe such as another Gary Coleman cartoon, and I some how managed to guess it dead on, I think that "Cowboy Funk" will air some time in the immediate future.

But until Matt or anyone else finds out when it is showing on CN I think that the Conspiracy theories can be put to rest, we should just hold on for the ride. After all there is not a hole hell of a lot we can do about it yelling at Matt.

[Zorakfan]

Uhhhh....whazit?

[Sheamon]

I think we're making too big a deal of it :( Wait til the Thursday Adult Swim. If they don't air it then, then they can't use the 'lost the tape' excuse and you can all fling out your conspiracy theories :p

[Joe Tully]

They never show a new show on Thurs. so it wouldn't really make any sense for it to air on this Thurs. There's no reason to think that they won't just air Jupiter Jazz. Wait until Sunday at least, they should find it and air it by then.

[Sheamon]

That wouldn't logically apply for something that was an 'accident' though.

We all know how Cartoon Network operates when the schedule might be screwed up. They skip the episode so they stay on schedule. They did it with Gundam Wing on my first viewing, causing me to go crazy (after seeing only episodes 14&15, they skipped over episode 16 when it got pre-empted rather than airing it the next time Gundam Wing was on. And of course in the next episode, the whole Zechs battle thing is resolved and they're going into space, so just imagine how confused someone like me, who had only seen 2 episodes of Gundam Wing, was). They did it with Mobile Suit Gundam shortly before cancelling it. They do it with Dragonball & Dragonball Z on numerous occasions. I can't see the channel going out of its way and going off schedule, so past history would suggest that if the episode does not air this Thursday, they'll still go right to Brain Scratch/Hard Luck Woman anyway next Sunday.

[Killtacular]

Yes, but we're talking about the same company that was kind enough to put Real Folk Blues pt. 1 and pt. 2 on the same night, despite what the schedule was originally going to run.

If they find the tape, they will play it.

[Detra]

http://www.animenation.net/news/news.php3?id=3125

What do you think of this? Not a mistake?

[nothing]

Why would CN "censor" the episode at the last minute when they've had it on their schedule for months?

I'm not 100% sure that the tape was mis-placed. However, the persons I've spoken to said this was the likely scenario.

Actually, I think the real reason they didn't play the episode is to drum up rumors and gossip for the new adult swim block coming on the 23rd.

[Killtacular]

Animenation is crap. They base a lot of their news on heavy assumption instead of actually putting research into what they're talking about.

[randomguy]

No offense Matt (and I mean it), but were you serious about not liking it when people insinuate that you're wrong? Sorry, but that seems funny to me. Guess somebody's sensitive.

[KingKoopa]

I agree with the person who talked about CN's scheduling methods. If they don't air it on Thursday, they likely won't air it.

Then again, with CB moving to Saturdays, they may keep it, because it wouldn't change that much.

[randomguy]

I'm actually kind of glad that it didn't air. I meant to watch it, but I ended up listening to a Kenny Wayne Sheppard concert on the radio (God that guy can play), so since I can't watch AS Thursday, I was kinda hoping it would be postponed a week. My own selfish desires, I guess.

They didn't exactly ruin Pierrot Le Fou, but he was alot better in Japanese. I just know Andy won't be as cool in English.

[rmarti3926]

For anybody living in the East Coast, if "Cowboy Funk" do show up on Thursday night, 12:30AM EST, please send a private message to me to remind me. I live in the West Coast.

Let's make it count.

[SSJ_Gogeta]

I really think that after this mishap they will just rerun the eps in order again until "Cowboy Funk" comes up again.

Heres hoping they show the ep. on Thursday though!

LOL! You can easily see that they just assumed that CN cut it out beause of Sept. 11 & never even bothered to research what happened.

Exactly. I mean, the previous two unaired episodes did air, in order. Maybe the tape got lost in the control room . . .

or maybe this is the thing.

They're purposely airing Jupiter Jazz out of order to mark the arrival of Adult Swim Action next Saturday. Afterall, the lineup did say that The Real Folk Blues Part Two was airing on that night. Who's to say that they're not airing the only four episodes that seem to coorelate (co-relate, spelling errors suk :bosko: ), which is episodes 12, 13, 25, and 26? It kinda makes sense, and if they air Jupiter Jazz part two and TRFB part on Sunday, then, this theory is indeed true. Of course I could be talking out of my six (don't ask where I got that saying from).

[Zorakfan]

I pretty sure it got lost in the Scooby doo archives.

Bob, you ass! How the hell did you mix a tv-14 rated anime into a bunch of mindless, TV Y rated complete ****? Grrrr! Ok...how many episodes of scobby doo have a wild west motif?

Uhh...about 2...hundred.

Ok....how many have something to do with buildings exploding?

3. In all three it was scrappy's fault.

Wow...thanks for enlightning me, dumbass. Now go get the tapes from wherever you catalogue 'exploding buildings'.

I can't.

Why the hell not, Bob? Tell me why the hell you can't go and get a freaking tape from your own catalogue?

Shock Collar.

Oh yeah...I'm not allowed in the break room anymore.

[Killtacular]

I understand what you mean, nemalki, but I don't really think that's how it's gonna work.

Part of me thinks they're just going to start from Asteroid Blues when ASA premieres. Perhaps they'll switch Brain Scratch and Hard Luck Woman with RFB 1 and RFB 2.

Nothing would be more annoying for a new viewer than to see the final episode of a show on the first night of a new block.

What Matt said he dislikes is people insinuating that he's _lying_, which is pretty much what they're doing.

Fata Morgana

[randomguy]

*Shrugs* They're just forming theories, some of which seem at least somewhat valid. Go ahead and let them. I don't think anybody's accusing anybody of lying.

[Fata Morgana]

Well, my question is, how often does Matt (or in this case, Nothing) have to be right before you'll say "you know, that Matt fellow is right most of the time. I think I'll believe what he says." If Matt wasn't right 95%-99% of the time, maybe I would say "it must be some other reason! There's got to be a different explaination!!" Matt's _certainly_ more accurate than Animenation. I think it's just that people want to believe that CN is up to some big conspiracy, that Kellner is like that guy in the Daft Punk videos, manipulating everything towards some diabolical end. Being a more practical person myself, I can a lot more easily believe that "they lost the tape" rather than "they're just trying screw with our heads, man!"

Fata Morgana

[SSJ_Gogeta]

I think Matt is right. All the shows on ASA will be starting from #1, so Asteroid Blues is a certain me thinks.

[randomguy]

You're totally right about Matt being right 99% of the time(100 by my count) but I figure nobody's dissing anyone or anything.

[G1Ravage]

Well, Adult Swim is starting in about 3 and a half hours. Let's pray that CN found the tape of Cowboy Funk. :yakko: :wakko: :dot: :bosko:

*blank stare*

Until later!

"Growl!"
~G1Ravage

[Fata Morgana]

Nothing has spoken: They found the tape, and Cowboy Funk will indeed be played tonight!

Fata Morgana

[Jimmy Kustes]

He might be right, when I ask stuff like "What is the capital of Mexico?" and Matt says quickly, "the peso" I get confused. If that makes any sense.

[Zorakfan]

And I thought it was albuquerque.

[Galaxia]

YES! Yaaaay they found the tape!

[Kesh]

Dear god, this episode is strange. :wakko:

{Added}

Correction. That was the strangest damn episode of the whole series. ;)

Not bad at all! Andy was absolutely bizarre, but the regular cast helped make it surreal the whole time. It was worth seeing Jet dressed up as a hippie though. :D

And poor Ein! First wearing Jet's wig, then riding Ed (and obviously not happy about it)...

I think the whole thing was worth the wait, overall.

[Galaxia]

OMG that episode was so funny!!! Jet was hillarious with that whole "love and peace" bit! Spike had so many funny faces in this episode - almost makes me wish i had screengrab software! XD

great episode - thank goodness it was shown!

[Revelation]

My first post. :D


That episode was hilarious. Andy, errr... Musashi is the greatest character ever, and the fact that he and Spike wanted to duel and forget about the bomber was great. Even the preview for the next episode was great. Musashi!

Anyone who didn't catch this one missed the best of them all... maybe best isn't the right word... maybe I should say the oddest of them all.

[Askinno]

Yea it aired,

On to the review,

Simple put one of the best Bebop Sessions ever.

Plus points
1. Humor, let's face it Jet is makes a good hippie.
2. Spike vs. Andy/Musashi
3. once again shows that the pets on the show are smarter than any human, and can play a decent game of chess.

the only down side is that I still have the Andy's theme stuck in my head. but like I said before still one of the best Bebop Session

as for everything else I think Jet said it best with:
"Open foot, insert mouth"

hears hoping that the movie comes around soon

[CharlieNash]

They did not show it last Sunday, but they showed it last night. What the ... ? I did not have the chance to see it because the only way I can see it is during Sundays. I think They need to show "Cowboy Punk" this Sunday as a encore.

[SSJ_Gogeta]

OHHHH NOOOOO!!!!!!! I MISSED IT!!!

[Cries]

[Cries some more]

[Room is filled with tears]

[Drowns in tears]

Now I have to wait so damn long for it to run again!

I was not expecting it to run, so I missed the block COMPLETELY!

I am so mad about this...

sad is more the feeling...

:(

Was that a translation mix-up or not? If not, it's a heck of a lot funnier...

(Okay, wrong episode for this thread, but I'm new to CB...)

OFF-TOPIC: This may be going to far, but what kind of format does CN actually store their shows on? Is it actually tape, or optical, or hard disk, or what?

--BigMal27
Gotta' love that fresh toon taste! ;)

Heh. Boogie Woogie Feng Shui has grown on me a lot now.

"Hey! I'm not old enough to be your father! If anything, I could be your boyfriend!

...

No, wait, that would be bad..." :D

[Sheamon]

lol! That episode was awesome. Easily the funniest episode overall in the series, although no one scene can top the one in Mushroom Sanba when they all go nutz :p

And the whole terrorist aspect of it was nothing like I expected. Once again the hype is much bigger than the truth. -_-

[Cowgirl1855]

Besides "Mushroom Samba," "Cowboy Funk" was the episode THE episode I wanted to see. How come everytime I program my VCR, it fails to work? Is it really as funny as you all say it is? Please say no so I won't be disraught about missing it! :(

I feel the same way. Too bad I can't use a witty anecdote to back up my feelings. Meh.
