Yin Yang Yo

Has anyone seen this new show on Toon Disney. It's actually funny, that;s something I have'nt said about a Disney show in a long time.

It's a near perfect blend of Xiaolin Showdown, Fairly OddParents, and Tiny Toons. Great combo.

Saw some of the 'previewing' they did last week (after the Big Movie Show), as well as some from today's mini-marathon-done-mega (as they only have 4 different episodes airing over-and-over *all day*).

A fun series.

It's alright, shows some promise.

I was only disappointed in that I thought it was going to be a Butch Hartman cartoon based solely on the character designs of Yin and Yang only to find out it wasn't. But that's my own stupidity, not the show's.

Toon Disney hyped the CRAP out of this show, and while I didn't find it as funny as say, Dave the Barbarian, I thought it was alright. I'll keep watching.

Dave was definatley a funny show, but I prefer Ying Yang Yo, I just like the characters more.

Dave was funny?

Eight Simple Rules John Ritter tributes were funnier than that, not a slam against the creator, who made the hilarious Weekenders series, but...Geez, he was out of his element there.

Dave, i thought, had some funny elements. Kinda reminded me of Freakazoid a little bit. But Weekenders was definatley better. And had the overall better concept.

I went and wrote a short article on my first impression of the show:

I watched all the episodes during the Yoverthrow "marathon" (it's not like I didn't have a billion chances). The show's grown on me and it'll me a nice alternative to drivel like Ed, Edd and Eddy.

While I have no cable and can't see it, I feel a LOT of shows have the same Butch Hartman/Craig McCracken retro-60's blocky-ness to them. I like it, but after a while it got tiring.

I liked what I saw of Dave the Barbarian. It reminded me of Earthworm Jim.... mainly because the guy who created it was the same guy who was EWJ's head writer... it wasn't as funny, but more enjoyable than Team-o Supream-o, which came across like a PPG ripoff.
