Here's something that pisses me off:Scooby fucking Doo--a show so bad, I can't even sit through a single episode, and I've watched every movie in the Puppet Master series--is dubbed "retro" and "campy" (because it is old and bad), thus making it a huge franchise (well, it seems to be fading now, thank goodness) while a fucking great show like Dexter's Lab, which is one of the best cartoons on TV right now, in my opinion, goes completely unnoticed, and was actually going to be discontinued for a long time. People don't do things because they like them, they do it because it's trendy to. Candy ravers don't wear PowerPuff Girls shirts because they like PowerPuff Girls, they do it because it's just such a trendy, RAVER thing to do. Idiots don't actually LIKE Scooby Doo, they just watch it and say they like it because it's trendy. And so, what does this mean? It means that good shows go completely unnoticed, or even worse, good shows get watched for all the wrong reasons. Most people who watch South Park don't watch it because they find the social satire funny, they watch it because they like jokes about GAY PEOPLE and FARTS. And besides, it's just a cool thing for outsiders to do. Oh, and to keep in the usual spirit of my rants: FUCK FUCK SHIT ASS GODDAMN FUCK, and also, some specific group of people should die. ------------------
But where is Gamera?

i agree, a long time ago, i used to watch pokemon, mostly because all my friends did, and then after a few weeks i woke up (seriously, i had fallen asleep) and realized what a piece of shit it was. about about the good shows going unnoticed, thats so true. fox showed like 3 episodes of their new spiderman series, and nly like 10 of avengers, 2 shows i had seriously been looking forward to for like a year, but because fox was trying to compete with wb's pokemon (and i cant say i blame them) both the new spidey and the avengers got canceled in favor of reruns of digimon and monster rancher(which arent horribly bad shows, but id rather watch spidey and the avengers)....but anyway, i completely agree about trendy cartoons...

On the topic of stupid networks, here in Canada, we have YTV. Usually it's a pretty shitty network, except for a few shows. One of these shows is Dragonball Z, we all know that this is a pretty kick ass show, but they've been playing re-runs for a couple of months. For a few days, they took it off and replaced it with Gundam Wing, which some of us know is a even better show. But, since a few whiny kids complained, no one even gave it a chance and it was removed from the line up and the Dragonball Z re-runs are back.Stupid people suck, that is all.

while i personally am not particularly into anime, i can relate. they used to have an awesome show called phantom 2040. it was based on the old phantom comic from the papers, but in the future, drawn by the person who did aeon flux. needless to say, the show ruled. they got out like a season and a half before it got canceled. i dont know why they canceled it though, they obviously had a pretty big following, they managed to get out a console game, merchandise, and even a comic book based on the show...come to think of it, the only show that i know of that rocks and has lasted more than 5 seasons and is still good is the simpsons...thats fucked...
