He couldn't have been all that smart to begin with if he was shoving crayons up his nose. He's also a carrier of the Simpson gene.

"Mom won't let me read Hagar the Horrible."

The craziness make sense when you consider all those Hasbro produced series take place within the same universe as evidenced by shared news anchor Hector Ramirez. Holograms and evil rock bands don't seem as big a deal when the Decepticons and Inhumanoids are attacking every week.

Jem was always better off with bad boy Riot and his luxurious blonde hair.

They should hold off on the Sailor Moon talk until July so they could some comparison with the new series.

They look like pot leaves. Are you somebody's grandparent?

I had that t-shirt in the early 90s.

No longer shall your name be called Adam but your name shall be He-Man, for I have made you a leader of Man-E-Faces.

I'm for anything that keeps Rescue Rangers in the public eye and keeps Gadget's Go Coaster from being torn down or at least redressed with a more well known property. Then again it might not help since they took Country Bears out of Disneyland right before that movie came out.

He does. SPOILER alert for a decades old DTV movie: The King of Thieves in "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" is Aladdin's dad.

I was going to jump in and defend The Mask cartoon but honestly I haven't seen it in years so maybe it doesn't hold up. Still if you want to malign a kid-friendly-Mask-spin-off, I don't see how you could have ignored Son of the Mask.

They're streaming Fairly Oddparents right now. If I wanted to watch Fairly Oddparents I could just turn on Nick at any given time and there's a one in four chance it would be on. (The other three times would be Spongbob.)

Ray Park was actually cast as Iron Fist years ago when Artisan had the rights.

I'm actually somewhat cheesed that the Max Steel of my youth has retooled from the G.I. Joe rip-off I remember into a Ben 10 rip-off. Is nothing sacred?

Well Galvatron actually did kill him within moments of meeting him, which I think exempts him from this list. He did come back as a ghost which is pretty impressive for a robot.

The similarity has been noted.

I've seen that quote referenced a couple times over the last few days, but I somehow missed it was in response to a pitch for a new Kamandai series. That makes it even sadder.

How about Richard (original choice to play the Incredible Hulk on the 70s TV series) Kiel just to tie it all back to Kirby.

And in the 60s there was Hogan's Heroes, a nostalgic look back at the care free days of the 40s.
