Anyone here know why Cartoon Network's slogan is "Yes."? :p

I never understod that. I miss their old slogans. :(
Pokemon has also been moved to Boomerang. :(
That means that Boomerang will go the route of Toon Disney. :(
Meaning that I'll never be able to see any more good cartoons on TV again. :(

"Yes" comes from that elephant demon named Fred Fredburger from the Billy & Mandy special Keeper of the Reaper. It also comes from the imaginary friend Cheese from Foster's Home. Both also seem to be mentally retarded.

As for The Chef's little dilemma, that's what DVD sets were created for. Most of the good toons are already on DVD or making their way to it. The only thing you need to do now is find a job that pays well, since most of the sets seem to be in the range of 25 to 50 dollars.

I highly suggest you all read John K's explanation of what cartoons really are. Note that there are barely any today. Bimbo's Initiation in particular makes me want to weep when looking at the current stock of "cartoons".

That explanation was kick-awesome. It happens to be a topic that I was thinking of for quite a while.

It's too bad it comes from the guy who hasn't worked on anything in a long time and sounds so full of himself. Last I heard he's making money off selling cels of Ren & Stimpy on eBay.

Either way, those are good standards for cartoons.

What are you talking about? He's working on stuff constantly. The Ren & Stimpy Lost Episodes (which just came out) are mostly new, he's pitching a brand new show (which you would know if you actually had read more of the blog, or anything about him), he's doing music videos for Weird Al and Tenacious D, he's setting up shows like the one in the post I linked, etc., etc.

And full of himself or not, he's right.

He is most certainly right. Too bad I don't really enjoy a ton of "cartoons," apparently.

I just bought Volume 1 of the Animaniacs. Ah, precious memories! And it's so much funnier now that I can understand the cultural references.

I finally got the SMB:SS DVDs, but my computer DVD player stopped working, so I havent watched it yet.

Kojinka · « **Reply #85 on:** August 14, 2006, 09:01:12 PM »

I have those DVD's too. I got them cause I'm a Nintendo junkie who was only 1 year old when the SMBSS and LoZ originally aired.

I love cartoons even to this day. I love them so much that I can't list all of my personal favorites, but I can say that I grew up with "The Simpsons" and "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Remember with some TV stations would air cartoons on weekday afternoons? I sure remember sitting down to watch Digimon or Gargoyles, etc. after a long day of School.

I used to watch the original pokemon alot, I remember having a small book thing, you would buy pictures of pokemons, and pastes them in thier correct spots. I also remeber inside bags of chips, they used to be some sort of disk thing with pokemon on them, I had a HUGE collection of those, I still own some, you would play games with them and win others chips. I would explain the game if I remembered, that had a huge populariy everywhere.

Kojinka · « **Reply #87 on:** August 15, 2006, 01:18:18 PM »

I have a collection of the older Pokemon eps on VHS. We don't get the WB where I live. :( Not that it matters now. The newer seasons of the Pokemon anime really suck. But I still love the seasons of the first few regions: Kanto, Orange Islands (despite Tracey's habbit of stating the obvious) and Johto (to a certain extent). Oh, and I loved the first three movies. I used to collect the trading cards too.

Who could forget Digimon? I loved that show as a kid. The ever changing, always interesting story was great. The digimon, themselves, were cool. The digi-world was so mysterious, wacky and awesome. That show was pure ownage!

Kojinka · « **Reply #89 on:** August 15, 2006, 09:14:11 PM »

I loved the first two seasons, but the newer ones got confusing. It felt like if you missed just one episode, you got completely lost.
