Cartoons You Love That Everyone Else Hates

[Generator James]

This is basically what the title says. My C.I.L.T.E.H. is Fanboy & Chum Chum. I have no idea why no-one likes the show. It doesn't even really have hatred it's just that whenever Nick & More! makes a thread about it, no-one ever comments on it! The show reminds me of the original crazy & wacky Nicktoons of the 90's like Rocko or The Angry Beavers. So what's you're CILTEH?

[Golfkid]

Any of the Yugioh dubs.

[Krabby Fries]

I'm with you on Fanboy and Chum Chum. It's 22 minutes of pure stupid and I'm lovin' it.

Can't think of anything else at the moment though I'm sure there are some.

[dothesmartthing]

Here are my two picks:


My Gym Partner's a Monkey - I think it's interesting for a human like Adam to be educated by animals. Talking animals.

Fanboy & Chum Chum - I like goofy characters who are cheerful and relatively optimistic.


Note: I believe there is a previous thread already covering the topic in this forum.

[Generator James]

Any of the Yugioh dubs.
I was watched the first dub religiously.

[Michael24]

Nothing currently, but from past shows, I liked 1993's The New Adventures of Speed Racer, but it seems either universally hated or just plain forgotten today.

[Generator James]

Also, the new Spongebob episodes epsically "Plankton's Regular"
"I am so fired." :D

[Dr.Pepper]

For me:
Robotboy: Sure it isn't the best show in the world, but it is no where near as bad as people say it is.

Mighty B!: I honestly have to say that this was one of the best cartoons to come out within the past few years. It has the has the classic Nicktoons feel to it. I don't really know how to describe it.

Fanboy and Chum Chum: I have only seen this show once, but once I got past the annoying themesong and ugly characters I found it entertaining

[OriginalGagBonke]

The only thing that I can think of on the top of my head are Stripperella and Ren and Stimpy's adult party cartoon. Everyone just shoots me down saying that its garbage, but I personally dont care.

[AerostarMonk]

The current era of The Simpsons. Not as good as it was in its heyday but still about as funny as anything else on Fox Sunday nights and that's good enough for me. Plus I happen to have an appreciation for jokes that bomb.

12 oz. mouse. What can I say I love this show. It started out as a poorly-drawn series with incredibly absurd jokes but slowly evolved into what can best be described as David Lynch in crayon. I quote it quite a bit but no one ever gets it.

[Generator James]

Juniper Lee: There's been many people on this site trashing it when I thought it was pretty good. I also thought it was a good idea to bring a new character in the 2nd season.(That sasquatch girl that Ray-Ray was crushing on)

I was a big fan of Juniper Lee. Actually a huge fan. I would always try to sell it to my friends but they wouldn't buy into it for the most part. Speaking of the sasquatch girl, I wonder what other Barry Ween inspired characters would've ended up in the show in the long run.

[Gold Guy]

Any of the Yugioh dubs.

Well, I like Yu-Gi-Oh, I just think the dub could have been a bit better.


For me, it might be Megaman NT Warrior and Loonatics Unleashed. Its not that people totally hate both shows, but there aren't many fans here.

Trust me. TZ totally hates Lunatics Unleashed. The WB board treats it as the plague.

[kaseykockroach]

Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi. Stupid, pointless, cliche, bland, idiotic, goofy cartoon fun. That's all I can say about it.

[fsaenz0125]

Here's my list. Sorry for the many shows, I'm a fan of cartoons/Nick.

Fanboy and Chum Chum: Agree with Generation James. I has no against with gross humor, but gets old for a while.

My Life as a Teenage Robot: I don't get with the hating of this show. I though it was good.

Newer SpongeBob episodes: I don't REALLY get with all the hating of the newer episodes. I'm tired of hearing that SB is not funny anymore.

Ren & Stimpy: I like this show. I has nothing with gross humor.

Rugrats: I don't really care what older people said, but I still like this show.

The Angry Beavers: I though this show was good.

Camp Lazlo: I like this show. Don't really get with all the hatred.

Cat Dog: I hate how a lot people didn't like this show, I think it's was good.

[Savoury Sauce]

How well recieved was Cow and Chicken and it's I.M Weasel segments? I've seen a fair amount of comments on the show over the years, usually negative, though not enough that I'd be able to properly guage the show's general popularity.

In any case, if it wasn't well liked? Yeah. Definately Cow and Chicken, particulary season 2 onwards. Loved the show's sense of humour and characters, Feiss' art style was awesome, and it's pretty much the only form of entertainment I've seen that's capable of making obvious butt jokes laugh-out-loud funny on a regular basis.

[Fillet-O-Fish]

Wow, a lot of shows are more hated than I thought.

My Gym Partners a Monkey (minus Jake)
Camp Lazlo
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Ren and Stimpy
Rugrats
Angry Beavers
Catdog
Mighty B
Robotboy

I don't hate anything anyone has listed so far, save new Spongebob and Fanboy and Chum Chum

[KJ Styles]

I don't understand why people are listing Ren & Stimpy. I loved that show and so did most of my friends. It's easily the best Nicktoon IMO.

My pick is Pepper Ann. I liked it as much as anything on One Saturday Morning.

[LordTerminal]

For me, it might be Megaman NT Warrior and Loonatics Unleashed. Its not that people totally hate both shows, but there aren't many fans here.

Oh there are fans of the Megaman.EXE anime. Just not the dub version and for good reason. It was pretty much Viz's answer to the 4Kids dub of One Piece. Trust me, you can be surprised how much better that show is uneditted. (Though skip anything under the Stream season)


12 oz. mouse. What can I say I love this show. It started out as a poorly-drawn series with incredibly absurd jokes but slowly evolved into what can best be described as David Lynch in crayon. I quote it quite a bit but no one ever gets it.

Oh thank god someone other than me finally gets the point behind that. I still don't get why TVTropes had to actually put it in the damn So Bad It's Horrible section. Adultswim has aired much worse than 12. Oz Mouse.

[Bradyrands]

The new Spongebob's. People in my school say "they suck" and "Spongebob sucks nowadays". I have to scream: "ITS JUST FINE. The recent season has been one of the best things they have put out in a while". I'd like to see them write a better episode than they did (although Im sure they could do better than the 2nd half of season 4).

My friend hates 12 Oz. Mouse but I think its hilarious. I was showing it to him and he forced me to turn it off he thought it was so bad.

[Krabby Fries]

Oh yeah, I'd agree with the new Spongebobs. I do think the quality has gone down slightly, but the show is still funny, and definately not the abomination some people make it out to be.

[Barbossa]

New episodes of the Simpsons,again like Spongebob people jump on the bandwagon and say stuff like "it sucks nowadays". I'm sure they will do the same with the new episodes of Futurama

[rattis1]

The original Casper short films comes to mind. Animation historians always count them as being among the worst shorts produced buring the golden age, but i actually like them a lot. Sure, the gags aren't nearly as inventive as in many other short films series of the era, but they have a sweetness mixed in with the comdey that can hardly be found in any other short films series of the era other than Disney's, and which im quite fond of.

I first noticed that Simpsons had started sucking back in 2000 (when season 10 was aired for the first time in my country) when i didn't have any internet access and had absolutely no idea that there were other people that shared my opinion. So i for one can hardly be accused as "jumping on a bandwagon" when it comes to my opinions on newer Simpsons episodes, and im sure that there are a lot of other people which the same can be said for.

[Infusions]

I'm not sure how well-liked Xiaolin Showdown was. Usually when I talk to people about it, they usually reply with the following responses:

"I liked that guy who hung out the ghost, but that's just about it."
"All the characters were bad stereotypes, I especially hated the cowboy."

Or they would reply mocking the facial expressions of the show usually saying it was trying to be anime or sarcastically saying "IT'S SO KAWAII".

Oddly enough, I can rip out dozens of expressions from the show that were very cartoony and very well drawn. This (http://d.imagehost.org/0616/jackexpress.png) for example, which is also done using some great perspective, double points for being able to pull that off.

[Generator James]

Mucha Lucha! Me & my friends used to watch that as if it was the 2nd coming. We love pro-wrestling, so it introduced us to "Lucha Libre" & frankly, we realized that we would love any type of wrestling.:) We would make our own masks & jump off ours beds as if we were jumping off the tope rope:anime:(we were 10 in those days). Since the characters in the show turned into something whenever they did a signature move, we'd try to make our Signatures & characters. I was the "Silver Savior" & my move was "Sacred Silver!". I watched some episodes a couple of years ago, just to see if nostalgia was blinding me. It wasn't.:D

[Bubblegum Girl]

Atomic Betty - I didn't understand why some people hated this show. I thought it was an interesting cartoon of a young girl who fights evil in outer space. And it was well animated in Flash.

[Rod Beauvex]

For all the things I think are wrong with it, I still liked Yin Yang Yo. I've seen very little mention of it here.

I'm part of the first camp. I only saw a few episodes of this, but Jack Spicer was the only memorable thing about this show. I never realized until recently that his VA was the same person who did Montanna Max from Tiny Toons, Danny Cooksey.

I like the few that are cutesy in a good way (There's Good Boos Tonight, and about 2-3 others I can't recall the titles of at the moment) and the ones with Wolfie, my favorite Famous character, in them. The rest, well...

[blazecat]

Back At The Barnyard -A lot of people seem to drop it into the "all cartoons nowadays suck" category. I don't see what's so bad about it. Sure it can be a bit stupid and over-the-top at times, but it's not the apocalypse most people make it out to be. It's just harmless fun.

[rattis1]

101 Dalmatians:The Series
The New Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog


I beileve that one is actually quite fondly remembered by most kids who grew up during Sonic's "golden age" (im certainly one of them), if usually in a "so bad it's good" kinda way.:p

I concur, though I sometimes wish the designs on the human characters weren't so horribly ugly.

Really? I guess when I saw the "That guy with the glasses" review of the show I thought a lot of people thought it was bad.

[Fookums]

Really? I guess when I saw the "That guy with the glasses" review of the show I thought a lot of people thought it was bad.

That Guy with the Glasses takes things he likes and makes fun of them at times, too. He just does it for comedic sake. It's just hard to believe with all the stuff he finds horrible and makes fun of. xD

Bobobo-bobo-bobo- I love that series to peices. But, not many do because they don't understand Manzai humour which is widely popular in Japan. o.o Cultural difference, ftw!

[STARTOUNZ]

From a few recent posts at this site, not many people seem to like Mike, Lu, & Og. But I thought it was a pretty decent show. From the island setting, the quirky characters, and the culture clash, it had some good qualities that made it (at least to me) a nice fun series.

[Fifi Fanatic]

For all the things I think are wrong with it, I still liked Yin Yang Yo. I've seen very little mention of it here.

I'll have to go with Yin Yang Yo too. It had it's flaws, but it could still be a fun ride. I always cracked up whenever they flashed back to Master Yo's youth and he would be shown with this gigantic afro and the appropriate funky background music. "Everybody was Kung Fu fighting" indeed. :anime:

[Lavenderpaw]

I never really cared for Ren and Stimpy, but everyone else seemed to like it. So... :p That's not really the question of this thread.

Some people have mentioned XS. I personally liked Omi, Kimiko, Clay and Raimundo. They were an interesting bunch and the style and premise of the show was colorful and original to me. It came out around the time I was still watching American Dragon, Avatar and Teen Titans but I can definitely appreciate a good show when I watch it.

Recent shows just haven't really cut it for me. I like FlapJack, Chowder and P & F, but it's not really evened out except for some of the blander action/adventure fare such as Ben 10 Alien Force and Star Wars. I mean, is it just me or did a lot of flavor go stale after 2008? :sweat:

[Taekmkm]

Really? Angry Beavers is a hated show by majority? By whom?

[Marvin Tikvah]

One I can think of is Mucha Lucha. It's inane and not at all good, but the obnoxiousness works like a charm for this type of show. Its hard to explain, but I don't think I'll be changing anyone's opinion if I could anyway.

Freak Show was another show I liked that lacked fans. The humor was very similar to the typical adult swim show, notably Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I guess that's what pulled me in.

Freak Show had me hooked since episode one. It was just so delightfully absurd. And the dialogue often had me in stitches.

"It's not a threat, it's a thromise!"
"What? You threaten to promise me?"

[Psychopulse]

Atomic Betty - It was well animated for a flash cartoon and was pretty good when you look past the cliches.

Captain Flamingo - I'll admit the idea was pretty absurd, but the show slowly grew on me.

[ShadowBlinky]

I'm probably one of the few people that actually even remotely like "The Kwicky Koala Show".:sad:

[Taco Wiz]

Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon

I just convinced my mom to smuggle the DVD set past my overprotective father...and it was AWESOME. Granted, Altruists got a bit stale around the end, but that's normal for a 44 slapstick cartoon [slapstick as in humor that's not character based]. The Ralph Bakshi-inspired Fire Chief was hilarious. I don't know if it's cheating or not to come up with a hilarious cartoon character by ripping his personality from a real person...but The Fire Chief was AWESOME! A Firedogs 3 would've been awesome. My favorite episode would probably be Stimpy's Pregnant, though.

I just have one burning question, however.

WHY WAS SUCH AN AWESOME SHOW CANCELED?

I think it's because people are shocked by how...different the show is in this incarnation. But once you get passed the small doses of sex and violence, it's a very funny show. In fact, I'm not even completely sure how APC is so "grotesque". It's not that much worse than Family Guy in that aspect.

[TenPoundHammer]

Juniper Lee: There's been many people on this site trashing it when I thought it was pretty good. I also thought it was a good idea to bring a new character in the 2nd season.(That sasquatch girl that Ray-Ray was crushing on)

I've only seen one episode (the one with the bat-otter) and I'm hooked. Bat-otter is just an amazingly awesome idea.

I really liked The Brothers Flub in the tiny spit of time that it was on Nickelodeon. Out of the small number of people I found who even remembered it, not one had anything nice to say. It didn't even have an article on Wikipedia for so long because people were making joke articles that bashed the show.

Agreed on Mike Lu and Og too. Majorly underrated.

What's with everyone listing Angry Beavers? I haven't heard anyone say anything even remotely bad about it, ever. (And I agree; it was certainly one of Nick's best.)

How well-received was Family Dog? I remember renting tapes of it at the supermarket about 15 years ago when they still had video rental, and I thought it was above-average.

[Mecha-Daffy]

Bo-bobo-bo-bobobo was awesome. Crazy fun!

I must be the only person on Earth (or at least this forum) that enjoyed Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island. Sure, it's not groundbreaking, but it didn't need to be. Sure, the characters were annoying at times, but that's what made them endearing to me. It was just goofy fun, something which I thought was lacking in cartoons at the time. I know I liked it more than Johnny Test, which started around the same time.

And Mucha Lucha was also cool. I just like Mexican wrestling, and when the show ended, I felt a gaping hole in my heart, which was quickly filled by El Tigre, thank goodness.

And I don't think people hate this show, but I thought Sheep In the Big City was hilarious. Like a modern-day Rocky & Bullwinkle. But no one seems to remember this show. Or if they did, they thought it was the stupidest thing they ever saw.

[Lemanic]

I don't know, but Loonatics Unleashed counts in here too, I think.

[DarthGonzo]

WHY WAS SUCH AN AWESOME SHOW CANCELED?


I know he's not here, but this is getting answered anyway...

Because the show was going over budget and John K wasn't handing in work on time. The same reason he was taken off of the Nick version of the show.

[John Pannozzi]

Well, it actually has more to do with the fact that the advertisers were uncomfortable with the show's content, and the network was reluctant to air "Naked Beach Frenzy" after that Janet Jackson controversy.

[AdamYJ]

I liked both the '99 Avengers cartoon (yes, the one with the armor) and Spider-Man Unlimited. I though Spider-Man Unlimited was cool in that it took a whole bunch of stuff from different Marvel comics and brought it together in one show.

The 90s version of Woody Woodpecker.

Agreed.People have came up to me and called this show sick and nasty.And those biology arguments "How can human parents have cow and chicken for children".
Well the theme song goes:"Mama had a chicken,mama had a cow,Dad was proud HE DIDN´T CARE HOW."
It is very amusing when people dismiss a well written,fun cartoon for not living up to the laws of science :D

[Radio Clash 5150]

"Capitol Critters" for me. Its social commentary was mostly limited to the strife between the mice/rats and the roaches, and they did go too heavy on the chase scenes, but I found the main cast extremely likable.

[Urusei Yatsura]

I agree with Mike, Lu, and Og. I loved that show when I watched it, (I still like it, too, but not as much) Almost everyone I talk to dislikes it. :/

[Blackstar]

Agreed.People have came up to me and called this show (Cow & Chicken) sick and nasty.And those biology arguments "How can human parents have cow and chicken for children".

These people fail to take into account also that Cow & Chicken's mom and dad don't even have upper halves; they're both just torsos with legs. If you can go along with that, then you shouldn't have any problem with their having 2 talking animals as their children.

[Master Toon]

My Gym Partner's a Monkey - Some of the complaints were talking animals and Jake being obsessed with his butt. Ok, since when are talking animals in cartoons so unusual and "dumb"? Does the name Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck or any of the hundreds of talking animals in cartoons (new and old) ring a bell to any of these people? And the butt thing wasn't so bad. I've seen cartoon characters obsess over their butts before or at least their butts were used for comedic purposes.

Captain Flamingo - Oh my, why do they call him a superhero if he doesn't have any villains? News Flash! A superhero is someone who saves people NOT someone who fights villains on a daily basis.

Mucha Lucha - I'll admit that I didn't like this cartoon at first either. The humor didn't grab me and the live action food scenes were gross but eventually I began to love the humor and the food scenes weren't that big of a problem. This cartoon may not have been visually stunning but it's really really great.

Robotboy - I thought Robotboy was pretty funny. One thing I noticed was/is that when someone bashes it they never say why. They just say some generic insult.

Juniper Lee - The show definitely had some problems but I liked it. I hate how people go on and on about Ray Ray's voice. Kath Soucie has done that voice before without any complaints yet Ray Ray just magically stands above them all somehow.

Thank you! Oh and there's some argument about how Cow shouldn't be old enough to make milk based on real cows or something. Do these people really think they'd omit milking from the cartoon because Cow is too young? In that case they might as well had made Chicken a rooster since chickens are female and roosters are male.

:D

4Kids dubs of: Sonic X, (Tokyo)Mew Mew, Yu-gi-oh, Winx Club, Shaman King:
Most forums Ive visited in the past seem to hate any 4Kids dubs but I kinda like some of them, they're not perfect but its easier to watch than looking for fansubs on the net.

Starla (Gwenevere) & the jewel riders:
It took a while for it to get my interest but it did eventually. I really like series 1 but Im not so keen on series 2.

I thought Gym Partner could have been a fun show. I liked Adam and Jake's voices, and the show had an interesting idea behind it. But unfortunately the show-runners went for the stupid. Why do so many cartoon producers think fans of animation like stupid characters and stupid humor? Because they think WE'RE stupid? I'm offended. :p

[KJ Styles]

I'm probably one of the few people that actually even remotely like "The Kwicky Koala Show".:sad:

I liked that show too. I bet if Tex Avery would have survived past 1981 it would have lasted at least a season or two longer than it did.

One that falls under that catagory for me is "Help, It's The Hair Bear Bunch". I think it's hilarious and most I talk to dismiss it.

My Gym Partner had a potential to become a great show,that is true,but the reason why it failed wasn´t Jakes occassional gross out moments,it was the other characters who were either unlikable or forgetable.
Jake was the only likable and funny character on the show,and had potential to become CN iconic characters.But what went wrong?
Other characters ruined the show with their annoying one dimensional personalities .
The show looked like Chehovs novel:everybody yells,screams and jabbers about themselves,nobody is listening to anyone an there is never any real plot.
Jake could only carry the show for so long.His witty remarks would come unoticed by the shows chaotic atmosphere,and only way he would attract attention is by delivering over the top fart joke.

And sadly this was the only humor the show was remembered by.

[Kool345]

One show that I have noticed that many people hate that I love is 6teen and Stoked. I've noticed in the Cartoon Network Cartoon Forum that only a few people post in an episode talkback thread and when 6teen and Stoked returned to the lineup, there was a lot of people that were like "This news sucks" or "Glad Camp Lazlo is returning, could care less about 6teen and Stoked". I see more negative than positive things said about 6teen and Stoked. I really like 6teen and Stoked. My two favorite parts of 6teen and Stoked are the character/background design and the writing. Those two are my favorite Cartoon Network shows of all time.

Those two are my favorite Cartoon Network shows of all time.

First of all (and I don't want/mean to sound like a smartass) 6teen and Stoked were not developed by Cartoon Network: they were developed by Fresh tv and Teletoon.
Second, I agree there has been quite a bit of 6teen/Stoked hate in the Cartoon Network forum. Personally I think that people are still complaining about the fact that they are Canadian programs, and not Cartoon Network original series, as well as the fact that the shows produced by Fresh have proved to be surprisingly successful. Note this is just what I think, I'm pretty sure that not everyone feels this way.

And third: I too love 6teen and Stoked no matter how much the Cartoon Network forum complains. :p

[Radical Raven]

Yeah, people who get pedantic about the science at work in movies annoy me too. Suspend your belief for a little bit.

As for the thread topic, I'm one of the few people I know who thinks that American Dragon: Jake Long and Brandy & Mr. Whiskers weren't completely horrible - I only think they were partially horrible.:p Seriously, neither of them were very good, but they both had decent moments and were hardly the abortions they get made out as. I think a lot of the flack they get comes from people jumping on the Disney Channel hate-wagon.

And I don't hate any of 4Kids anime dubs, either. I hate 4Kids, and I hate that they got the shows, instead of a better company, and I hate that they felt the need to inexcusably butcher the original content, but taken on their own terms the shows are passable kid entertainment - I know I'm not the only one who got introduced to anime through their versions of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. They're not something I'd watch now - I'd much rather track down an uncut version, or even a fansub - but I can't bring myself to condemn them.

[Kevin the Geek]

One cartoon I like that people seem to hate is Super Duper Sumos. While it definitely isn't the greatest cartoon ever, I still think that it's an enjoyable show.

Another series that I like, but a lot of other people don't, would have to be Wedding Peach. Most people who have heard of this series think that it's a Sailor Moon rip-off that sucks. While both shows are very similar, I actually think that Wedding Peach took some elements from Sailor Moon, and made some improvements on them, like Wedding Peach tends to be a better heroine than Sailor Moon (From the clips I've seen, Sailor Moon tends to be a wuss at times, when fighting villains).

[Master Toon]

What's New Scooby-Doo. Well I can't say I've seen much backlash against the series but when I do I'm speechless. Scooby and the gang made a flawless transition from the 60's/70's into a new generation. Normally when someone tries to update something old, it turns out bad but this was so smooth and flawless. It's second only to the original, IMO of course.


First of all (and I don't want/mean to sound like a smartass) 6teen and Stoked were not developed by Cartoon Network: they were developed by Fresh tv and Teletoon.
Second, I agree there has been quite a bit of 6teen/Stoked hate in the Cartoon Network forum. Personally I think that people are still complaining about the fact that they are Canadian programs, and not Cartoon Network original series, as well as the fact that the shows produced by Fresh have proved to be surprisingly successful. Note this is just what I think, I'm pretty sure that not everyone feels this way.

And third: I too love 6teen and Stoked no matter how much the Cartoon Network forum complains. :p

Same here. 6teen and Stoked are so good and I just can't see why some people won't give them a chance. IMO Canada has some of the best TV programs (live-action and animated) ever. But that's going a bit off topic, sorry.

What's New Scooby-Doo. Well I can't say I've seen much backlash against the series but when I do I'm speechless. Scooby and the gang made a flawless transition from the 60's/70's into a new generation. Normally when someone tries to update something old, it turns out bad but this was so smooth and flawless. It's second only to the original, IMO of course.


I like WNSD as well. While I don't think it's the second best in the series, they did a good job with it. About the only complaint one could really make is that Frank Welker's Scooby pales in comparison to Don Messick's or even Scott Innes'. But otherwise it was a good show. Loved the theme song!!

Johnny Test (though i can see where people wouldnt like it)
The Goode Family (didnt get a chance IMO)
Recess (I dont get why people hate this show, i think its quite entertaining and the characters are interesting. Its a better school show than some of the other stuff around at the time like pepper ann or angela anaconda)
The Batman (The Clayface story was done much better here than on B:TAS, but again, thats just my opinion)

Johnny Test (though i can see where people wouldnt like it)

There is a lot of hate for Johnny Test (partially due to how many airings the show receives on Cartoon Network), but really, it's not that bad. (The animation in the show's first season was better, but I digress.) The single worst element in it is the title character. Johnny Test would be an OK show if they could just get rid of Johnny.


Recess (I dont get why people hate this show, i think its quite entertaining and the characters are interesting. Its a better school show than some of the other stuff around at the time like pepper ann or angela anacondaI wasn't aware that Recess was hated. I've only ever talked to one person who truly disliked the show, but it's worth mentioning that this person had a bizarre, almost fanatical hatred for all things Disney, so he hated anything they did. Recess only started to get bad around season 4, IMO.

Also, Pepper Ann and Angela Anaconda weren't 'school shows'; they were shows about kids who happened to be school aged and attended school. There's a difference. In the case of those shows, unlike Recess or Fillmore!, the school wasn't the primary setting. I can't comment much on AA, since I only saw a handful of episodes (the show's visual style did creep me out a little, which prevented me from watching it to any great extent), but I thought Pepper Ann was funny.

[Lavenderpaw]

Yeah, people who get pedantic about the science at work in movies annoy me too. Suspend your belief for a little bit.

As for the thread topic, I'm one of the few people I know who thinks that American Dragon: Jake Long and Brandy & Mr. Whiskers weren't completely horrible - I only think they were partially horrible.:p Seriously, neither of them were very good, but they both had decent moments and were hardly the abortions they get made out as. I think a lot of the flack they get comes from people jumping on the Disney Channel hate-wagon.

And I don't hate any of 4Kids anime dubs, either. I hate 4Kids, and I hate that they got the shows, instead of a better company, and I hate that they felt the need to inexcusably butcher the original content, but taken on their own terms the shows are passable kid entertainment - I know I'm not the only one who got introduced to anime through their versions of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. They're not something I'd watch now - I'd much rather track down an uncut version, or even a fansub - but I can't bring myself to condemn them.


Who ever thought this show was horrible? :shrug:

Who hates Recess?

The Batman (The Clayface story was done much better here than on B:TAS, but again, thats just my opinion)


It's because some people think that BTAS is the best dang cartoon in history. My big brother actually prefers The Batman to BTAS and yes he used to watch BTAS back when it was new. I think The Batman was pretty good. I like how some of the non-fighting villains were could actually fight (Penguin, Joker, Riddler). And by non-fighting I mean they usually depend on goons or weapons.

[Blackstar]

The Batman (The Clayface story was done much better here than on B:TAS, but again, thats just my opinion)

The Batman wasn't perfect, but as a stand alone series, it wasn't terrible, by any means. What's truly annoying is how some DCAU snobs would instantly turn up their noses and poo-poo the series during it's run simply because it wasn't Batman:TAS. I enjoyed the DCAU also, but I can accept that it's over and also that the DCU has a long history which allows it's various characters and franchises to be interpreted a multitude of different ways, and that every DC animated series shouldn't have to live in the shadow of the DCAU.

I'm among those who liked Mucha Lucha and Atomic Betty. They weren't the best shows in the world, but they were good fun at times. I liked the shapeshifting wrestling moves in the former.

I also kind of liked American Dragon: Jake Long and Loonatics Unleashed. They were generic, but they weren't horrible.

[Radical Raven]

I also kind of liked American Dragon: Jake Long and Loonatics Unleashed. They were generic, but they weren't horrible.

Oh, now Loonatics, that is something that I dislike.

Honestly, it was boring and, as you say, generic, but from a objective stand-point not that bad. However, it's difficult to be objective when it comes to a show that's bastardizing some of the greatest pieces of animation ever made. I can't watch Space Jam, Baby Looney Tunes, or any of the Looney Tunes shorts from the 90s for the same reason, even though none of them were really that badly made.

Now here's something that will shock people - I used to like Coconut Freds Fruit Salad Island. Yes I did. I recognized it as a badly-drawn Spongebob rip-off even then, but thought it was imaginative and funny in a stupid, but genuine way. The fact that it debuted (I think) beside pieces of excrement like Johnny Test and Da Boom Crew may have improved my opinion as well.

Of course I haven't seen it in years, and I'm not sure what I'd think of it now. I wager I'd still prefer it to Da Boom Crew, though.

[Daxdiv]

I love Shrek 2, even more so than the first Shrek movie. I thought the sequel was done pretty well, the story was interesting, the characters returned in top form. It still ranks high as one of my favorite Dreamworks Animation flicks, well next to Panda and Dragon.

[Itchy]

Extreme Ghostbusters
I thought this was a pretty cool show. It had great writing, interesting characters and some pretty creepy looking monsters. Not to mention it turned Janine back to the sarcastic and witty person she was in the early seasons of the Real Ghostbusters.

Johnny Test (though i can see where people wouldnt like it)

I Agree With This One. I Am SO Sick And Tired Of People Calling It A Dexter's Lab Rip-Off.

I agree with American Dragon and Loonatics, they weren't awful. I enjoyed them. I don't really like Mucha Lucha though; the crude humor annoyed me, I guess.

Space Jam, Baby LT, Tiny Toons, and the 90's LT shorts were good. Loonatics Unleashed was awful.

[TenPoundHammer]

Seriously though. Why didn't The Brothers Flub catch on? :confused:

Another one that doesn't seem to be too fondly remembered among this crowd is Marsupilami. Sure, it ran roughshod all over its source material, but it had some merit in my opinion.

[spongebob03]

I'll probably be the only person to mention this show, but, Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island. I LOVED the episode, Captain Nut and the Power Fruits! It was so much fun. I miss that show a lot. People use to always say, "how could you love that show? It's a rip off of your favorite character Spongebob!" I can't explain why I love it.
