I'm surprised, I always thought it was a pretty decent cartoon. Of course I didn't vote so I guess I really don't get a say.

Title: Re: Fame or Shame: the Cartoon Thread Post by: JaseSF on March 07, 2010, 02:22:43 PM Surprised the 90s Spider-Man show didn't fare a little better but then it was pretty standard superhero fare really although I recall it having a few standout episodes here and there. Honestly I prefer the cheesy old 67-70 cartoon series which was the one I grew up watching the most in rerun syndication. Congrats on Rocky and Bullwinkle getting into the Hall.
Title: Re: Fame or Shame: the Cartoon Thread Post by: HappyGilmore on March 07, 2010, 09:38:31 PM Apparently I missed the voting, but South Park, in my estimation, has a lot of great quality episodes. Especially when compared to some of it's competitors: Family Guy, American Dad, Simpsons.
Crude humor, at times, but nothing that's just repetitive one note jokes (Family Guy) or resting on it's laurels of past glory (Simpsons.) I like they incorporate modern events and are able to work it into an episode as it's happening to get some quality episodes (The Elian Gonzales story, Terry Schiavo, the mass Celebrity Deaths last summer, Kanye West's enormous ego). That's just me though. And, their "Trapped in the Closet" episode is a must see.

I thought it was a good show for what the producers were allowed to do. Apparently, there was a whole list of things they weren't allowed to do in the show, including:No mention of killing or the word kill (such as "Kingpin is killing people", or a villian saying "I'll kill em all") No mention of death or dying (they were allowed RARE instances if vitally important, like Uncle Ben's death) When Spider-Man landed on rooftops, he wasn't allowed to step on pigeons Traditional guns couldn't be used (so they shot 'lasers' instead) No blood was to be seen or mentioned (causing a problem when Morbius the Vampire showed up, and instead of saying he sustained on blood, he 'needed plasma to survive') Overall, I liked the show immensely as a kid. Just thought they could've done more if FOX allowed em to. |
