I cant believe Disney took years after the Turtle craze was over with to rip it off. I still laugh at that I mean I get wanting to do whats popular but strike while the iron is hot not when its been unplugged cooled off then put back into the closet.

Argh, those fecking puppets! For my 20th birthday, me & 3 friends took some "medication" and watched a Wiggles video (we'd seen a clip on some TV show and thought it would be funny to watch whilst tripping). Everything was going great until the puppet segment came on, completely unexpectedly.

Needless to say, the collective mood shifted... sharply.

This was the video we watched, obviously made by people who'd taken a similar substance...

Discogod, thats the video I was referring to and first came across a few years ago.

Anyway I don't see how Mighty Ducks is a rip-off of the turtles. I never really watched it but just looked up the intro and they use a bunch of hightech weapons. Looks more similar to Swat Kats plus it was inspired by the Mighty Ducks movie wasn't it?

David Wise worked on Mighty Ducks also, so there's a strong TMNT connection

Well just because someone works on two different things doesn't make them the same. There's probably similarities and I admit I've never watched it so I don't know how it plays out but it looks very different from the turtles.

Oh I know, just bringing up that there is a connection is all

I never caught the show myself, it aired on Sundays in the UK and that day had a habit of airing all the really crummy stuff that I never bothered with

Mega Babies and Johnny Test. Oh, how I despise Johnny Test.

Dragon Booster was one I tried to like because it had "dragons" in it (that looked nothing like dragons) but I hated the cell-shaded 3D style, the limp storyline and the obvious corner-cutting with repeated scenes.

I saw some of the new Tom and Jerry toon once. Wow, that was a boring pile o' crap.

I agree about the new Tom and Jerry show. I don't think its one of the worst its just boring.

I watched like the first 10 episodes (whole, not just the separate shorts). I have no problem with flash animation, which is what most want to complain about, its just the writing is so generic and the humor is simply dumb.

There's a couple that were OK but its not worth it. Its too bad cause some of the plots were creative. Could have been a cute show.

The Wiggles puppets never really scared me at all. But they did have incredibly huge eyes.

The Wiggles were and are still my childhood!

Been watching a few episodes of The New Adventures of He-Man. It's utter sh!t objectively speaking but the nostalgia is off the charts.

I just stumbled upon this apparently being released on officially on Youtube Voltron the 3rd Dimension. Here is the first episode.



Wow that animation yeesh thats bad and so was the story I cant completely remember but I could have sworn that at the end of Voltron all the villains died now **** that ending Lotor is a cyborg now. I mean whats the point of doing a sequel series when you ignore the canon. I will give them kudos on one thing that's one amazing voice cast they even got some of the older voice cast back.

Funny thing they tried to do the sequel series idea again a few years ago and it was actually even worse then Dimension. Bad voice acting really stupid retcons like Pidge belonging to a race of Tech Ninjas yes it actually stupider then it sounds. Also the art style they ditched the anime roots and went full blown westernized art style very flat and boring. You would think they would have done what Thundercats did and got some sort of japanese studio to do it. Worst thing the series did was get new kids to pilot the Lions and they were unbearable. Worst was Larmina that action Grrrrrl power shtick got old fast. Oh and lets not forget that awful opening song.



Man I do wish this show would get a good reboot one day America is severely lacking in a giant robot action series the past couple of years.

The Nutshack - It's one of the worst. Even if you look past the awful animation, it's still has horrible voice acting, lazy jokes, and completely unlikable characters.

I actually liked that one. Also, the dragons were based more on the Eastern variety, which explains their appearance, though they COULD "grow wings" with the right boost. I liked the Arthurian connections, and the animation was pretty slick, IMHO. The style was interesting, and I loved all the different types of dragons used. Some of the villains' motives were a little confusing if you only watched it now and then, but if you watched the series all the way through, it was a pretty good show over all. Just my two cents, mind.
