I love these shows as much as I always have, but I’m looking forward to making it to the second season for these shows. Ah well, at least I’m just about to hit double digits, and there’s some great stuff to look over here. Dexter’s Laboratory: “Doll House Drama” Ho man, this is one of the most memorable stories from the first season. Well, it’s one of mine at least. How else are you going to see a macho manboy…
Hey guys, I’m back with my Cartoon Cartoon retrospectives! It’s been a while, but I’m glad to try my hand at these again, and I’ll attempt to at least make it through the first season of each of these shows. To save my sanity, I won’t try to post each article up around Friday, although I would like to make these a weekly series after all. Next time, I’d like to add some more comments before I go into these…
Alright, let’s see what I’m going to tackle this week. Dexter’s Laboratory: “Star Spangled Sidekicks” In this first short, Dexter and Dee Dee are watching Major Glory’s TV show, as he faces against Doctor Diablos, an obvious Doctor Doom spoof. Even though this episode only seems to last less than thirty seconds, it totally pumps the siblings up, especially when Major Glory himself announces to his viewers that he’s looking for a new sidekick at their local mall. Talk about…
I have to apologize for my lack of updates during the past three weeks. My ever-busy schedule is to blame, but here we go for this week’s entry. Dexter’s Laboratory: “Dee Dee’s Room” Oh man, here we go. At last, Dexter’s greatest invention has been completed- sliced bread! Except the boy genius/blunder loses his breakthrough, only to have his knife become trapped in the room of his big sister. In hopes of avoiding the peril of cooties, Dexter takes a…
Before I begin, I have to apologize for my break last week. I wasn’t swamped with family, but rather schoolwork and a social life to take care of. Also, I ordered this shirt as a Christmas gift. There are shirts and other pieces of merchandise for not only Ed, Edd n’ Eddy and the other three shows I tackle, but a few other Cartoon Network classics as well. If anything ehre tickles your fancy, add in the code CHEER15 at retail,…
This series is the highlight of my weak. My only problem is finding the time to do it. Dexter’s Laboratory: “Double Trouble” And here is the first appearance of Dee Dee’s best friends, Mee Mee and Lee Lee, who are pretty much like Dee Dee, except black and Asian, respectively. I’m sure that you are familiar with these characters. Well, the episode starts out innocently enough, with the girls playing in Dee Dee’s room. Except when has Dee Dee ever…
Another week, another set of Cartoon Cartoons to look over. And yes, I will probably still be this lazy with every introduction for now on. So let’s just get started. Dexter’s Laboratory: “Dexter’s Rival” At last, the first day of school is compl… er, here. And poster boy genius Dexter is ready to shine in his class, until the class’s new student (it’s the first day, who cares if he’s a new student?) Astronomenoff, or Mandark for short. This guy…
While you could definitely find my enthusiasm in last week’s entries, I don’t think that I articulated why I have such a particular affection for Cartoon Network’s programming on the 90’s/early 00’s. Well, the 90’s were a great period for animation. Besides the birth of Cartoon Network, Disney and Warner went through a renaissance, primetime animation arguably started up, and Nickelodeon also started its own collection of animated series. This period started out around the mid-80’s, when Disney, under new…
Okay, so I wasn’t sure what to do on the blog for Cartoon Network’s 20th anniversary. Should I write about the golden days of Toonami, before it ended with a whimper and Naruto fillers and came back as a substitute for [adult swim]’s Saturday night anime block? I could, but it’d sound like a whiny post for the fans that stick around with the new Toonami, the ones who are interested in most of the series currently airing (my personal…
