The problem with this pilot is that a full series would just be too expensive.

It had Genndy behind the scenes, so of course it would cost them a pretty penny for something that's higher quality than normal.

Frankly, I would have LOVED to see them pick up a season of this. I don't care if they cancelled it after 13 episodes (I would totally understand if they did that); Korgoth just needed more love than what they gave it. :frown:

SpongeBob SquarePants. It just seems kind of shrill to me now.

Korgoth made me sick. The only Genndy anything I hate.

I watched Hey Arnold! about a year or two again and it seemed fine. Since I was never a mega fan and barely followed any new episodes and missed a lot period, I think I could actually go through the show and like it even more than I do now.

I feel similarly. Though I'd gladly take Spongebob over, say, Fairly Odd Parents.

Welcome to the forum btw!

Thanks!

And yeah, I forgot FOP there. Butch Hartman's take on the Dexter's Lab/PPG style isn't very appealing, and the show's tone is cynical and nasty enough as to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah, I used to be much more positive towards FOP as a kid, but I absolutely can't stand it now.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I was a teen when it was on and I thought it went well with Invader Zim. Now I don't think their quality is close at all.

Pretty much every Kids WB show from the pre-Yu-Gi-Oh days is full of constant 90s cultural references. Even things like STAS and TNBA are affected by this. You can't let it bother you or you'll miss out on some good entertainment.
