Title: The Wild Thornberrys

Recent events would dictate that this show deserves its own thread. And no, I'm not talking about the DVD release.  :blush:

Greatest moment of the series, by far. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFNKccJc5eo)

Personally, I always hated this show (yes, even more than Rocket Power and CatDog). I thought the characters were absurdly annoying, the stories in just about each episode were completely boring, and the voice-acting ranged from annoying to dull to mediocre at best. Sorry if I come off as an ass, but I just couldn't ever find the appeal in this show, personally. But, that's just me, of course.

Oh, no; as a kid, I didn't like it either. I thought it was by far the most boring thing Nick was airing at the time. I don't need my cartoons trying to teach me stuff; isn't that what prison school is for?  >_<

I do, however, appreciate it for giving us the Nigel Thornberry meme. And on that note, this is one of my personal favorites. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw7A5fFjNfI)

Yeah, oddly enough despite being outrageously annoying, I have to admit that Nigel had some of the only entertaining moments in the show that admittedly made me laugh. He's the perfect character for Internet memes, as well. ;)

Why can't I find a vid of Nigel just say "SMASHING" on YouTube?

I hated this show too. Nigel was kind of amusing (because Tim Curry is amazing in anything he does), but everyone else was terrible. I especially hated Eliza, who treated predators as evil bad guys, when all they were trying to do was what came naturally to them to live.

I actually liked a few of the characters. Besides Nigel, I thought Donnie was entertaining, and I love the fact that he's Flea now that I know. Darwin was funny too, and even Debbie had her moments.

Didn't like Eliza much, though. Even back when, I thought she was very annoying.

This show put the 'boring' in 'absolutely fucking boring'.

I thought it was mediocre too. The only good thing it did for me was Nigel's voice, which I imagine Kolorado from Paper Mario sounding like. :P
