And Grim Adventures going off the air is indeed very sad news. While I love KND, Grim Adventures always struck me as funnier (while KND had better continuity and character developement).
What I liked about Grim Adventures was that it never set itself up with any limitations. It constantly crossed the boundaries of what's acceptable in a kids cartoon, making some of the darkest, most morbid jokes I've ever seen in a "kid's" show. It was surprisingly violent, and even when it was "cartoon" violence, it could be pretty graphic. They parodied things I never thought I'd see parodied in my life, like the Last Unicorn, Evil Dead (okay, so Reboot did it first) and freakin HELLRAISER!
But one thing I really loved about Grim Adventures was that they KNEW they were a part of the Hanna Barbara universe and took full advantage of it. Crossovers and cameos with Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, Grape Ape and Fred Flintstone were unforgettable.
I'm gonna miss it. But still, they say there's some projects looming in the future, so I won't have to go complete Grim Adventure-less.
