Out Of Jimmy's Head

[marcnbrian]

I like the new promos. The show looks better than REANIMATED. Faster and funnier than I remember the movie being. They seem to have gotten rid of the chinese kids and brought in new cast and the animated characters look different too. This might actually be good!
What do you think?

[Rolling Cloud]

My opinion is that it looks sucky. :sweat:

EDIT: anybody notice that there's a line that kids won't understand?
"I got worms" "Sweet!"

That's a little hard to explain /:

[veemonjosh]

What do you think?

I think you just lost all respect from this board.

[Swag Jenkins]

I think you just lost all respect from this board.

And the question at hand is what do you think of the show, not whether or not he lost respect on this board.

[marcnbrian]

Because I'm not all kinds of pissed off that Cartoon Network's trying something new or because I think the promo makes the show look decent? Sorry....the little black kid is funny and there are some good gags. Maybe they have talented promo producers--or maybe, just maybe, the show might not be awful.

[dmxx116]

I seen the movie last year and this show is going to suck big time (IMO).

[buttah]

Because I'm not all kinds of pissed off that Cartoon Network's trying something new
No problem with anything new just the fact that Reanimated sucked and the fact they're having live action on Cartoon Network.

[danreyes1]

Count me in the "do not want" bandwagon. The show itself I don't really care for. But the whole Live Action on Cartoon Network thing is, to me, a big issue. If it were on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel, which already are filled with mediocre live action kid shows, I don't think people would be complaining about it quite as much.

[RockmanDash]

Out of jimmys head= not worth watching for me. Live action+Cartoonnetwork=badddd

[Antiyonder]

Have to see the promo a few more times to decide.

Toon Disney maybe have done the live action bit first, but Cartoon Network is being hypocritical in doing so themselves. What are they always telling their viewers? Get Animated!

[Kazuya Prower]

This is just what we need....A series based off a movie featuring a ripoff of Walt Disney and his characters.

[dmxx116]

This is just what we need....A series based off a movie featuring a ripoff of Walt Disney and his characters. Like i said before this show is going to suck big time. And will set a new low for cartoon network.

[Kurokawa41]

It shall suck.

[kewlmyc]

Like i said before this show is going to suck big time. And will set a new low for cartoon network.

Even lower than Fried Dynamite?

[Dudley]

After seeing commercials of Fried Dynamite, the live-action Ben 10 movie, and this, Cartoon Network's never looked so much like Nickelodeon.
I'm still going to check this out, to see if it's any better than the movie.

[RomanMack]

What do you think?I think it's going to be utter and pure garbage.

[Pomegranate]

What do you think?

:shrug: I completely hate it! Also, CN should just immediately re-brand themselves as "Turner Family" and stop freak'n posing as a 24/7 animation network this instant, because they're not a real animation network anymore!:shrug:

[Don_East]

This is just what we need....A series based off a movie featuring a ripoff of Walt Disney and his characters.
And looking like a rip-off of Ned's Declassied Guide Of School Survival no less. Jeff, what ever happened to your proposed new CN logo? It sure would fit this.

I agree with you all the way. I'm sure that if it was on Nick or Disney I still would not care for it, but it being on CN makes me hate it.

[Matt Hazuda]

The show's promo got boos at Comic-Con at a Cartoon Network panel. A panel that was made up of probably 40-50% little kids were booing this show. I don't think it'll be lasting to long if that's any indication of things.

[macattack]

To be frank, it actually looks worse than Re-Animated.

Know the execs, if the show does failing in ratings, they'll probably figure that the animated characters are the cause and try for a full fledged live action show.

[Nexonius]

It won't happen, Antiyonder. If it's canceled, everybody that hates the show will be happy.

[Ykwia]

Yeah, It looks like this show will never make it through it's first season.

[macattack]

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that it'll last as long as Wulin Warriors.

[dmxx116]

Even lower than Fried Dynamite?Yep same thing so.

[Kevin]

Ugh! Bad enough Re-Animated was bad, but the make a series out of it is even worse! Meh, I'll watch an episode or two of this series, but I don't have my hopes up.

Oh,those poor children.:sweat: It's bad enough their subjected to sugar-sweet tweeny bopper crud but they had to be tortured by this.I mean,if the little kids seem to know how bad it is but that doesn't stop the show,does it?

[Swag Jenkins]

With the newest promos, CN is saying it's their first "live-action original show." They're not even mentioning the animation at all.

[veemonjosh]

And the question at hand is what do you think of the show, not whether or not he lost respect on this board.

Ok, fine.

What I meant to say was that I think this show is going to be horrible.

There's some hope for this generation yet.

[marcnbrian]

I was at Comiccon too....the crowd was there for a Billy & Mandy/Fosters panel and was hardly 45-50% kids....it was 10% if that....and they also boo-ed Chowder, so guess they just hate everything.....live or not....

[pimp818]

To tell you the truth Re-animated was ok if best and i don't like the idea of something live-action on cartoonetwork and if most people feel the same way it will get canceled just like the other live/cartoonish show .

[PC!]

"Cartoon Network's first live-action original series!"

That line is just...so wrong. Do they even listen to what they're saying? They're actually proud of themselves for going against what their network is known for.

[veemonjosh]

Cartoon Network's first live-action original series!

Hey Cartoon Nothing....

THERE'S A PERFECTLY GOOD REASON WHY IT'S YOUR FIRST LIVE-ACTION SERIES.

[limel]

"Cartoon Network's first live-action original series!"

Funny how the first two words contradict with the rest. :p

[Draft]

So actual date

September 14th at 7:00PM

Jeezums, They have so much faith they won't give it a boost from Foster's and such? I Really hope that God will answer our prayers

[Dr.Pepper]

"Cartoon Network's first live-action original series!"
I feel sick to my stomach

[Xerroo]

This is going to fail. FAIL. FAIL. Fail....

[Kurokawa41]

So a bunch of little kids boo'd this at Comic-Con? Wow... hahah. That's awesome.

[Railith]

The movie sucked and the show will too.

[Kitschensyngk]

What do you think?

I think it'd be better off on the Disney Channel.

[Lavenderpaw]

So a bunch of little kids boo'd this at Comic-Con? Wow... hahah. That's awesome.

Not surprising.Kids have taste after all. :D

[Kurokawa41]

Even kids my age have no taste.

[hobbyfan]

We're all getting our dander raised by Cartoon Network's latest insult to the intelligence, but the truth of the matter is, the morons there are realizing that a live-action sitcom does pull in ratings for their rivals (Disney & Nick), so they've decided that after nearly 2 years of experimenting with live-action movies on the schedule, more than half of them having nothing to do with cartoons on the roster, they've greenlighted "Out of Jimmy's Head". The only known commodity in the cast that I know of is Bil Dwyer, who's better known for game shows on GSN & Ion (formerly Pax), and before that was a ESPN guy. Also contributes to VH1's various specials. However, it doesn't belong on CN, animation aside. It should be on TBS, which is rebranded as being heavy on comedy anyway.

This is, again, all about corporate synergy among the Turner nets.

[danreyes1]

You know, instead of creating live action shows with a little animation to justify it being on the network in their eyes to take the ratings away from Disney and Nick, I think they should start focusing on why their current cartoons aren't succeeding as well as they'd like.

[Antiyonder]

Except that the show has received some criticisim, and from the age group that matters no less. I've no doubt that kids enjoy live action sitcoms. The way I see it, however, is that they watch Disney Channel and Nickelodeon to get their sitcom fill, and they watch Cartoon Network to balance it a heavy load of cartoons.

Which is the point I was looking to make, though I'm not sure what you had in mind. My belief on why the current cartoons haven't performed as well as Nick or Disney's show, is lack of variety.

Even when Cartoon Network lightened up on the classic programs, they still had differents variety of toons in terms of genre. With Toonami being nothing more than Saturday Evenings, pretty much all non-Adult Swim programming are animated sitcoms. While Nick may not have as much on the new toon front at the moment, at least their current ones (Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar and Fairly Oddparents) each have a different setting. If the network is suppose to be 24 hours of Cartoons, then you need to embrace the concept by having them all in different settings (Not just in school or camp).

You might say that Cartoon Network copying Nick for the sake of profiting and ratings is smart, but no. Imagine if Disney Comics were the definate sellers and Marvel or DC tried to make their characters more Disneylike.

[Kitschensyngk]

I was just now reminded of the episode of Foster's when Mac tries to become one of the cool kids. At the end of the episode he delivers this big sermon about how the only thing you need to do to be cool is to be yourself.

And yet the very channel it aired on is taking after Nickelodeon and Disney Channel in an attempt to appeal to younger viewers.

Irony, thy name is Cartoon Network.

[Antiyonder]

On a similar note, A few episodes of American Dragon state that you can't get through life with shortcuts, yet that's pretty much how the Disney Channel operates.

You have to wonder if these morals are being taught to the viewers or the networks.

[danreyes1]

My other main complaint about Cartoon Network, actually. They have what, 25 shows in all? About half of them play once a week, or ridiculously early in the morning. The other half are played in endless marathons per day. They have a huge library that they can show, but simply don't.

[Ykwia]

Yeah, This insult to intelligence should be on G4 instead of Cartoon Network.

Just for referencing purposes, what 25 cartoons do they still keep on the network?

So far I and some other posters came up with in another thread:
Ed Edd and Eddy
The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
Kids Next Door
Camp Lazlo
My Gym Partner's A Gym Monkey
Xiaolin Showdown
Ben 10
Teen Titans
Code Lyoko
Pokemon: Diamond And Pearl
Dragon Ball Z
Naruto
Storm Hawks
Yu-Gi-Oh GX
BoBoBo-Bo-Bo-BoBo
Transformers Cybertron
Idaten Jump
One Piece
.hack//ROOTS

As well as:
Scooby Doo (Marathon yes, but they were still willing to air it.)
Tom & Jerry
Totally Spies
The Land Before Time

Then of course the older Pokemon episodes.

[Dudley]

You listed One Piece twice.
But still, I don't watch every network, but do networks usually air that any shows? That's not a lot.
Oh, that makes the list 24.

[Antiyonder]

You listed One Piece twice.
But still, I don't watch every network, but do networks usually air that any shows? That's not a lot.
Oh, that makes the list 24.

One Piece is part of Toonami I believe. Hence lack of airtime. At the very least, I don't see why Dragonball Z doesn't get more airtime outside Toonami. Even if you ignore the Uncut episodes, there are around at least 270 episode. It would take a longtime for that many episodes to grow stale. And like Naruto, it makes for a good bridge between Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.

But again that's part of the problem of the management of any show on the network. They air a program to death when it's at 26 episodes, then when it has a good 65 and over episode count they rarely air it at all. Doing the reverse would make much more sense. Air a show on weekends only when it's 13-26 episodes, extend it to Friday when it acquires 39 episode and then when it's at 52-65 episodes Monday-Friday. Any higher than merits a full 7 day airing.

[Darklordavaitor]

Anything I can say has already been said here. Oh wait, how popular was this train wreck of a movie, anyway?

[veemonjosh]

They were paying money to people who watched the fourth rerun through a contest.

What does that tell you about the movie's popularity?

[Darklordavaitor]

Yet they wasted money on a TV series for it? Who got ripped off there?

[CheezNapkin]

Looks kinda crappy but i'll tune in anyway.

[Kazuya Prower]

They aren't gonna pass first season.

[danreyes1]

Just for referencing purposes, what 25 cartoons do they still keep on the network?

Really, that was just a vague number that it felt like. Doing the research, I find:

* Ben 10
* Camp Lazlo
* Class of 3000
* Code Lyoko
* Codename: Kids Next Door
* Courage the Cowardly Dog
* Ed, Edd n Eddy
* Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
* The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
* The Land Before Time
* My Gym Partner's a Monkey
* Squirrel Boy
* Storm Hawks
* Transformers Cybertron
* Xiaolin Showdown
* Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
* Dragon Ball Z
* Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes
* Naruto
* One Piece
* Pokémon
* Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
* Teen Titans

That's 23. I was generous, apparently. How many do they list on their site? 96. More if you count The various iterations of Pokemon as separate (I counted them all as one for this) As I said before, Cartoon Network should really try to figure out why 23 cartoons, at least 8 of which being played once a week, aren't pulling in the desired ratings (might be because they're trying to fill a regular 17 hour day with only 15 half hour shows?) rather than go against everything they stand for by creating a live-action show.

Aside from variety, the network also needs to lower their expectations when hoping for success. In a thread I posted in The General Animation, it was stated that Ed Edd and Eddy while successful enough to get renewed past Season One wasn't as big a hit as the other Cartoon Cartoon programs.

As Blackstar would put it, had the show premiered today with the same results as in the 90s, the execs would cancel it without hesitation. A show becoming a hit overnight is a good thing, but expecting all shows to achieve the same thing will result in more disappointments.

This is why cartoon network suck right now for making dumb moves like this.

Probably, because at least EEE obviously had enough support to go on, OOJH seems to be doomed from the start. Makes me wonder if the show is due to the execs having biased feelings towards cartoons in general.

[Dead_Ninja_111]

And looking like a rip-off of Ned's Declassied Guide Of School Survival no less. Jeff, what ever happened to your proposed new CN logo? It sure would fit this.

Exactly what I was thinking with the whole rip off thing, haven't seen an episode of it yet, but if it's anything like the movie, which I couldn't stand watching at all, all the way through, then that's it for me.

[Antiyonder]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: Why is it doomed? Because a handful of 20-something year olds on a chatroom who haven't seen it already hate it? Seems to me this same crowd deemed Camp Lazlo a disaster and it's one of the few successes CN has had in recent years.

Because I'm not all kinds of pissed off that Cartoon Network's trying something new or because I think the promo makes the show look decent?

Considering the majority of the non-Toonami toons are more like sitcoms than cartoons, the whole trying something new doesn't hold water. And heck, the whole live action sitcom with a cartoon character has been doen with Lizzie McGuire. If they want to try something new, ditch the school setting.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Okay so Jimmy's friend and his sister (who Jimmy likes) were asian in the movie and now... they're not. Am I the only one who noticed this?

[90'sCartoonMan]

That'd be a pretty good strategy. I'm surprised they're still airing Teen Titans, actually, since it ended a year and a half ago.

That's too much hard work. The problem is that Cartoon Network is being guided by management who really don't care about animation as an aesthetic. This is true since Cohen got ousted and her subordinates quit in resignation. That is why they switched to showing live action stuff in the first place-they didn't know how to make a good cartoon in the first place and they blamed it all on the medium instead of looking at their poor choice in programming. They also refused to understand that Cartoon Network's core audience is an entirely different demographic than Nickelodeon and Disney Channel (read: teenagers and adults with a huge emphasis on Males). If they cared about Animation in the first place they would have spent time making worthwhile animated programming and not switch to live action in the first place.

BTW, I wonder will we see a "Death of WCW" type book about Cartoon Network's decline. I know the book would be just as funny as "Death of WCW".

So why did they chose Cartoon Network when there are other networks to suit their needs? MTV would be right up their alley.

Well (I may as well speak in the shows' defense, since no one else will), I don't know why the shows' producers made this particular change, but I don't see how this move could be construed as racist. Jimmy (who is white) was originally attracted to an Asian girl and was best friends with the girl's (also Asian) brother, and now his best friend and his crush are now African-American. Unnecessary, maybe. Racist, no.

I was just kidding about the racist thing.But that just makes the show all the more ridiculous to replace the Asian kids with African American kids.It won't really matter anyway,I have a feeling Live Action won't have much life on CN.

Actually...it never has.

[Dudley]

Everyone here wants this show to bomb. Me too. But if Disney's live-action shows prove anything, is that there's a big chance that this could do good. Apparently, by the looks of things more kids are starting to like live-action shows, and more teens and adults are enjoying animation.
Regardless, I think we should watch 1/3 of the season of OOJH, and then get everyone on this forum, and elsewhere to boycott this show. If crappy shows that run on cliches end up becoming hits with kids, we should do our part to keep this show from getting another season.

[DELETED]

Okay so Jimmy's friend and his sister (who Jimmy likes) were asian in the movie and now... they're not. Am I the only one who noticed this?


Perhaps you also noticed that those actors from the movie were AWFUL, so they got replaced with hopefully BETTER ones.

But they replaced two minorities with another.
Something about that doesn't seem right.

[TheVofSteel]

Yeah, This insult to intelligence should be on G4 instead of Cartoon Network.

That makes a whole lot of sense. Put a show aimed at 10-year-olds on a network for 20 and 30something men. One that also strayed away from its original purpose, Video Games.

[Dr.Pepper]

In a thread I posted in The General Animation, it was stated that Ed Edd and Eddy while successful enough to get renewed past Season One wasn't as big a hit as the other Cartoon Cartoon programs.

I thought I ead somewhere that they had the highest ratings out of all CN shows until KND came out.

[Darklordavaitor]

That would be Powerpuff, I presume.

[Antiyonder]

I thought I ead somewhere that they had the highest ratings out of all CN shows until KND came out.

As stated in the post above mine, I was refering to the original Cartoon Cartoons (Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab), back in the late 1990s. But it still did well enough to get past season 1. Again, if EE&E premiered today with the same results from the 90s, it would end up canceled.

[veemonjosh]

In a thread I posted in The General Animation, it was stated that Ed Edd and Eddy while successful enough to get renewed past Season One wasn't as big a hit as the other Cartoon Cartoon programs.

IIRC, there's never been a CN original show that's been cancelled after only one season.

[Antiyonder]

IIRC, there's never been a CN original show that's been cancelled after only one season.

My mistake. Regardless though it definately would have shared the same outcome of Krypto The Superdog and Juniper Lee. The network needs to realize that delayed success doesn't always mean garbage. Has any show on Cartoon Network, Disney Channel or Nickelodeon from 2005 made it past 52/65 episodes without it being a fad centered show. Meaning successful, but not in the flavor of the month type way.

Robot Jones. It's first season was split in two halves.

"Cartoon Network's first live-action original series!"

That's false advertising, it's about as live-action as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". And don' say it's like Lizzie Maguire, there's probably like 2 altogether minutes of animation per episode and looks like Golly & his friends are gonna have way more screentime then that per episode. It's a hybrid show, like it or not it barely counts. When they do Sid & Marty Kroft rip-offs, that's when we worry.

[Antiyonder]

And don' say it's like Lizzie Maguire,

Which is why I don't buy the idea that Out Of Jimmy's Head was done for the sake of trying something different. It's pretty much their version of Lizzie McGuire.

[Anthony C.]

So why did they chose Cartoon Network when there are other networks to suit their needs? MTV would be right up their alley.

Because alot of these executives are lackeys of Time Warner and they're apart of other divisions. They get assigned in places that the CN hierarchy wants them to be in (this happened with other TW divisions like WCW, The Braves, and TBS).

[Ykwia]

That makes a whole lot of sense. Put a show aimed at 10-year-olds on a network for 20 and 30something men. One that also strayed away from its original purpose, Video Games.

Hey, Think of it this way. It will fit in perfectly with the other crap like COPS, Star Trek, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment and The Man Show.

Star Trek isn't crap, my friend.

[TheVofSteel]

I'll tune in to see what it's like, but I do not have high expectations.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Think of it as a palette swap :p

Oh Matt... could be less tasteful with that comment? yeah... I guess you could.

I didn't the asian kids were that bad in Re-Animated but whatever.

The one thing I'm wondering is if they'll start the series as if it's after the movie or if they'll retell the movie differently through the series.

[Cypher Rage]

I've seen some of the sneek peaks and they look horrible . . . good thing I live in Asia where some shows don't make it here.

[TheVofSteel]

OK, I just read one of Silverstar's posts and I realized this. Most of you say it's OK if Cartoon Network airs live-action as long as it has something to do with cartoons...well, are you guys forgetting what the plot of Re-Animated/Out of Jimmy's Head is in the first place? It's about a kid who has the mind of a famous animator and now he sees cartoons everywhere. Don't you think that has enough to do with cartoons for it to air on CN? I mean, it's not like the show is going to be great or anything but at least it centers around cartoons. If this was another generic show about a kid trying to "fit in" or something, then I'd complain.

[Nexonius]

You're right. BUT, the members are still going to complain because it's mostly live action.

[TheVofSteel]

You're right. BUT, the members are still going to complain because it's mostly live action.

It is mostly live-action, I agree. But at least it's live-action that has something to do with cartoons.

But then there's the movies that DON'T have anything to do with cartoons *cough*The Mighty Ducks*cough*...

So those are still a problem. But OOJH isn't really. At least not for me.

Since everyone keeps putting Bobobo on the various lists, despite it only having one airing on Toonami, then you have to put the other Toonami shows on the list as well.

Thats a big list, arn't you forgetting TMNT2k3, that aired on CN before! (That and HiHi)

[Draft]

Neither is Arrested Deelopment or Code Monkeys

List missing Flapjack

and last i read The Batman is heading to Boomerang, so i don't think we'll be getting it on CN till The Dark Knight..

and Robot Jones is on CN Video

[bigddan11]

No, I'm not forgetting them. That list is a list of shows currently on CN, listed on CN's Web Site, or available on CN Video. TMNT 2003 and Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi Show are not listed on the site any where now. Supposedly any show listed on CN's site is still available in the CN Library, so they supposedly could air any of the shows on the list I made. Instead, they choose to focus on their new CN Originals.

I have never read anything about The Batman headed to Boomerang. Robot Jones is on CN Video, but it is not listed under the shows page at CN Video, which is where I pulled the list of shows on CN Video from. I forgot about them airing it on CN Video as well.

I can't remember anything about Flapjack. I'm assuming it was one of the new series CN announced.

Yeah, it is.
