George of the Jungle; new cartoon series on CN

[Leonardo Mystic]

Anyone else see this advertising while watching CN lately? Ugh. It looks to be another Tarzan cartoon series. And how well did that do anyway?

However, there was one thing about George and his lady's (can't remember her name) designs. They kind of remind me somewhat of Casey and April's character designs from TMNT, especially the lady. Anyone think there's a slight resemblance, or is it just me?

Well...

1) There has already been a George of the Jungle cartoon (way back in like the '60s or '70s).
2) Had heard of this new one some time ago -- and a Christmas episode has been airing on CN (at least a few times so far).

George of the Jungle is a CLASSIC cartoon. There's even a live action movie series. It's just the in thing to remake things. I haven't seen the ads for it cuz I don't watch CN (I will on Boxing Day tho for the premier of Transformers Animated).

I just checked wikipedia. Seems an ep of this aired on the 21st. Hrm.. A flash animation series? Well as long as he still crashes into trees....

Amazing theme song. That's all I have to say about George of the Jungle.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean any insult. Honestly, I had no idea this existed back in the day. All I know of is the movie.

There's a NEW GOTJ????


Actually, that had to be the bestest cartoon when I was a kid-- and one of the FEW "movies" that captured just a hint of the fun that show had.

Just saw the ad for the new George of the Jungle series during the new Scooby Doo movie (Casey Casem used his real voice! ). Looks to be as good as the original!

The one hour premier is Jan 18th at 7:30pm

Yes... but this new series fails to capture the Jay Ward humor. At least from the few clips I've seen. It seems like every other horrible frantic "we think we're so funny" cartoons that are keeping CN at the bottom of the ratings barrel.

I'm just glad they've decided to put the original series on DVD. I bought VHS's years ago at a comic book store. Just the George cartoons. No Super Chicken or Tom Slick. That's the best thing about the DVD. it has those shows too.

But seriosly. I saw clips... George has the wrong voice. he seems like a skinny little frantic moron, istead of the head strong, oblivious muscle bound moron that we all know and love. Sigh.

Guess this kills off any chance of a new Bullwinkle series... or a Dudley Do-Right cartoon.
