Pelswick was always just average for me. I didn't love it nor hate it. The only thing about Pelswick that I actively didn't like was how Pelswick's mom was alive in the comic strip but was killed off for the TV show for some reason. I'm really getting tired of mothers being dead in TV shows and movies. However, when I learned more about the series' creator John Callahan, I gained a new respect for the show. I was sad when I learned that he died.
Pelswick was OK for me. For a kids show that aired on Nickelodeon, it dealt with heavy subject matters in a humorous setting. Alot of jokes about political correctness, for example.

Wait, "Pelswick" was a comic strip? I know John Callahan did strips, but I always thought he created Pelswick for animation like Matt Groening did for the Simpsons.

I remember liking Pelswick when I was younger, but I haven't seen it in years. I thought it was a better alternative to the Klasky-Csupo overload going on at Nick at the time, but I have no idea what I'd think about it now.

From what I heard, not only does Clone Wars not fit into the films, it can't even fit into that clusterfuck of an Expanded Universe. And that quashes my hopes to see Thrawn on-screen.

I'm just waiting for Delta Squad to show up again.

I gave up on Clone Wars about 6 episodes in. I mean, we all know how it ends up, so what's the point? There's no tension when Anakin and Obi-Wan are in danger. Also, on a personal not I just don't like the art direction. I remember seeing a commercial a while back that they were bringing Darth Maul's brother into the thing, and I thought "We're already resorting to this kind of pandering for ratings?" and then lo and behold, another commercial came on later that showed that Darth Maul himself was coming back. Really? Just... really?  :unimpressed:

Haha, was Maul in a Vader suit? Funny enough, this made me realize that the great Obi has cut two Darths in half. Holy shit Batman..

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I don't like Bob's Burgers much at all. I mentioned before that an annoyance of mine in animation is when men attempt to voice the roles of women, but besides that, Bob and Louise are very dull characters, and the kids don't do much for me either.

Every now and then, there's a great joke or two, but it's not worth them.

Not trying to spark anything but,

I think MLP:FIM is a mediocre preaching-good-morales children's show and I can not honestly understand bronies.
  Besides the ones who are just in it for the porn, I will admit that I've fapped to stranger things.

The show has excellent animation and voice acting, but other than that I just can not see what all the hype is about.
Also, it took one of my friends, through a girl who then broke his heart, so I  will admit that I have grudge.

I'm starting to get sick of Cartoon Planet.

It's bad enough that we don't get Space Ghost on this new version, but every week it's the same 5 shows: Dexter's Lab, Billy & Mandy, Cow & Chicken, Evil Con Carne and My Gym Partner's a Monkey. Occasionally, CN will toss in a Chowder or Flapjack or Foster's or Powerpuff Girls short, but it's always 1 of the same 3 shorts every time. Plus, they only made about 4 or 5 Brak & Zorak bits which they repeat constantly.

The novelty of Cartoon Planet is starting to wear off for me; but then, I've never been a nostalgic person, so the major selling point behind CP had a limited shelf-life from the get-go.

Plus, I have a grudge against CN for taking that title; I wanted to launch an animation-themed website called Cartoon Planet, before CN got a lock on the name.  :anger:

After all, CP is uncomfortable to watch and just makes you wonder what kind of bastard you are for even grabbing a peek of the footage.

I didn't know that Cartoon Planet was still going, I thought it was done.

They brought it back in October.

I haven't seen it since the first week they brought it back, either. I'd be more interested if they made new segments with Brak and Zorak, didn't have to air Lazlo and Gym Partner, and aired more than just season 1 episodes of Ed, Edd n' Eddy.

Cartoon Network is going to keep Cartoon Planet on so they can run holiday themed shorts for the rest of December, and then it'll probably go away again in January.

I wish that Cartoon Network had just kept the original title for this incarnation of CP: Best of CN. Calling this new show Cartoon Planet only makes me remember how much better the original CP was compared to this version, and how I would like for Turner to run the original CP on Boomerang.
The Star Twins + cartoons + geek speak =Twinsanity!
