Ever Watch Stuff Cuz You Hate It?

[JohnCrichton]

Like Toon Diseny. The worst produced cartoon channel on television.

I mean the in between commercials are cheap, and the animation used is awkward at best. Cycling five frames then rewind, then forward again really makes the characters look like schmaggies.

And the shows. Even Stevens, a blatant Boy Meets World rip-off right down to using look alikes!

Zenon Girl From Space or some crap

I stop and watch shows like these and Big Wolf on Campus and almost enjoy feeling irrate watching the way past poor production value and constant cheap unfunny jockes like Olson Twin Movies and shows. Just... awful.

There's another show on MTV now with like four high school boys and their wonky adventures. Camera is not nice to them, and one of them has the most obnoxious lisp you just wanna choke 'em to death!

I can never actually make it through a whole show, but I have stopped just to glare.

Only on one occasion did this result in me actually liking a show.... and that was Power Rangers.

Anyone else pissed off at some of the garbage at television?

Oh god! I hate that show! And I watch it whenever I just so happen to fall upon it while flipping through channels. That kid with the lisp is so annoying! I hate that kid so much! :p

[Pilmedium]

I did that with "Doug" many years ago. I have also done that sometimes with what I find to be one of the dumbest shows, "Johnny Bravo".

[mosszonedotcom]

I watch Gilmore Girls every now and then just to get my hate back. :)

[Andy Mancini]

I do that with "As Told By Ginger" and "Rocket Power" all of the time.

All that

"Boy Meet's World" is one of the very few decent shows on The Disney Channel, but I wouldn't compare it with "Even Stevens". That's an insult. "Even Stevens" relies too much on retarded looking sight gags, and poor production values. Making it very painful to watch. While Toon Disney has some of the better shows from the Disney Afternoon years, their commercials are pretty bad some times. The way that they cut, and paste characters from various episodes just dosen't look right. heck, I've seen Gifs that look better than this. The Olsen Twins should quit making movies. They can only do so much with their tired old material.

Now hold up a second. Toon Disney is nowhere near as cheesy as the Disney Channel, which has all of those ridiculous live-action comedies. I like Toon Disney because I only like Disney cartoons. However, one thing I really dislike about Toon Disney is that they cut out their own stuff.

Any fan of Gargoyles knows exactly what I am talking about. As of now I have not seen "Outfoxed" and "Upgrade" for months, and have NEVER seen "Deadly Force." In addition, most of the episodes have some edits in them.

As far as watching something I hate, I won't resort to that form of torture, because then I might stop watching TV altogether. It is a waste of time watching something that you absolutely despise. One time though, I watched Junkyard Wars, even though I hated the longevity of the show, and actually enjoyed it.

[Nickdisk]

nope, i've never watched something just because i hate it :)

all disney channels are as bad as each other IMO :p

[Galaxia]

Toon Disney is ok - I think it's better than Boomerang sometimes. It's better than the regular Disney Channel.

[JohnCrichton]

One thing that pissed me off that Toon Diseny did was rip-off and I mean rip-off a commercial that Cartoon Network did.

The term "rip-off" is slung around alot, without completely knowing the source material.

Power Rangers was once called a Voltron rip-off, but PR's source, Sentai, came first.

I called Even Stevens a rip-off of the superior Boy Meets World, but they're owned by the same company.

And so forth.

But this one commercial that Toon Diseny has has no affiliation with CN, nor did it come first. It's plagerism and that disgusts me..

There's this one CN commercial that has this beatnik beat behind it and there's a voice over where it goes, "There's a place where cartoons go, and there's always someting going on..." or something like that. Cool skits and clips of characters in library or in a beatnik coffee joint chillin'.

That's cool, but Toon Disney has this crap where there's a more generic beat in the background and a cheesier voice over goes *also* says something about where its cartoons hang out, but only its "skits" and clips are more randomly picked and look alot more awkward and cheap.

Makes me sick.

There's also a little video they do called, "Chillin' With the Villians" promoting a cartoon block that features villians. Now, not only do their "villians" not match the league of Aku, Radditz, The Lightening Baron, Blight, The Joker, Vegita, Cell, Backdraft Group, or even fwickin' Emporer Pilaf; but in one shot they use someone that isn't a villian! They show a quick shot of Gargoyle's Brooklyn amongst their troop of lame villians from Little Mermaid's Ursala to the once cool fools from Darkwing Duck while playing music that wouldn't even be cool in the early 80's.

Brooklyn's not even a villian!!!

Jay-sis that made me angry.... but yet I watched, one so that I could continue watching *editted* Gargoyles, and two so that I could continue to hate Diseny production.

*Breaths a deep sigh of relief.....*

There.

I needed to get that off my chest.

Unhappily Ever After, which was a blantant--sorry to use the R word--ripoff of Married With Children. David "Bud Bundy" Faustino even guest-starred in one ep, as if the writers were trying to make their plagiarism more blatant.

And Yugioh. I started watching it out of curiosity just to see how bad it was (and to see the scene I've heard about with the three cheerleaders and the guy in the dog suit). So far the only character I've like is Mai, and only because she reminds me a bit of Jessy on Pokemon....

I thought Unhappily Ever After was made by the same people.

[The Game]

I used to watch 7th Heaven just to make fun of it. That show is hands down the cheesiest show ever produced.

[Mr. Obsession]

Can't say that I've ever continued to watch something just because I hate it. I've continued to watch things that I though were bad, out of the blind hope that it would get better.

Really, I've got better ways to waste my time. Like picking on JC and making fun of Canada. :D






Disclaimer: Mr. O really does love Canada, and in no way means any real harm towards it. However JC is still a geezer. :p

[James]

Blimey, Star Trek!

Star Trek:DS9, Voyager, TNG... All those Trek I sit and pull apart. I'd get little enjoyment out of the pompous plots, but the next week I'd watch them again...! I'd complain, get angry - spit and yell... and watch it again the next week once more... etc..

In fact most of Scifi is poor - and I watch hoping for improvement, but rarely am impressed... Sigh, ever the cynic thinking I could do better!

[The Dork Knight]

Strip Mall on Comedy Central. This show is so stupid! I love making fun of the weak characters and the weak plot. A guy goes to the hospitial because he had a accident with a "Train set".
PAH-THETIC!

It pains me to watch bad TV because it reminds me of all the good TV that had to die so it could exist.

Fox, for example, is using strings to make the stuffed corpse of The Simpsons dance while it buries Futurama alive.

It WAS created by the same person. Oh and Unhappily Ever After was my favorite show too. It was like Married with Children, but it added a comical stuffed bunny named Mr. Floppy and it took off from their to gain its own seperate identity.

I can have a whole conversation devoted to Unhappily Ever After, but I'll save it for another thread... :)

[Lagosuchus]

King of the Hill here, i just hate that Peggy so much and that tight-arsed Texan attitude... but then again, gotta love all of the other chars XD

There was this awful Spaniard... or was it French? i dunnah, cartoon called "Piff & Hercules"...BARF!

Street Fighter... and any other Capcom-character inspired...*barf* US-animated show

Same goes to Emeril, Daddy-o, Sister-Sister, any Nickelodeon live-action sorry-ass excuse for a comedy show.

You know it I love that show but man they just don't make a fan very happy sometimes.

I watched all the episodes of Pilot Candidate mainly so I could find more things to make fun of it for. Ahh, the memories.

[Zorakfan]

Ahh...yes, the memories.

I am shocked, I am disturbed AND might I add preplexed. How can anyone NOT like Big Wolf on Campus? The low budget adds to the charm of the series!

PAH-THETIC! You're totally missing the point of that show. It's supposed to be stupid. That's the satire.

:p

Anyway... I watched 6 or 7 episodes after the 2-hour pilot of Dark Angel... just to laugh at it and talk about how horrible the series iw with my friends.

:D

I just started watching the show yesterday--after seeing the previews for the show which make Merton sound like the star for the ten millionth time--and it happened to be an ep about a feline lycanthrope. That one almost turned me off to the series. The costumes looked like they set wardrobe back about six-fifty, and the script was lame. "So you're a werewolf?" "Yeah. And you're a werecat?" "Yeah." And then they just calmly go their seperate ways. Plus it angered me because I just wrote a story a few moths back with a vaguely similar premise. Not only a plagiarism lawsuit waiting to happen, but over something as peurile as this? :mad:
I admit I do like Strip Mall. Whatever happened to Elise's colored baby, anyhow? :confused:

[Christopher N. Denner]

DR. BELCH...

You had the unfortuante oppertunity of watching a very early season 1 episode. The first 1/2 or so season 1 episodes are not infact all that great. I think the company producing the show was looking for a lighthearted family friendly series. Basically, every horrible syndicated teen series in existence... plus a werewolf. Many of the early episodes were beyond cheesy and didn't have much of a real feel to it at all.

Thankfully, as the series progressed... the writers were able to drop a lot of the family friendly elements. The parents were phased out by season 2, the stories centered more on action than werewolf dating problems. Almost all of season 3 eps had almost no high school scenes at all (which goes against the title). The first season cheerleading girlfriend was replaced by kickboxing catholic school transfer student (seriously) for the rest of the series. All the background characters that were clogging up the show were phased out by the second season (and never mentioned again, might I add).

If you wait til they air the season 2 and 3 eps and like goofy shows where characters don't take themselves seriously all the time, you'll like it.
