Gonna be honest, it kinda hurt that Niko and the Sword of Light didn't make it past the pilot stage. Was really ambitious and unique, and it looks absolutely great.

Hey, thanks, very much appreciated.

All the episodes are on Youtube, although in slightly low-quality.

Overall, Eek was funnier because it was the looser, wackier show. Thunderlizards was hilarious too, but it was built upon a more… I don't want to say "serious," but more "action-oriented" concept. It ended up building its own story instead of being just a parody of the typical 80s "macho animal" cartoon, which held it

(I pushed for the Wuzzles for W but it wasn't meant to be, alas).

Eek the Cat is fantastic in so many ways. When I re-watched the entire series last summer, it was a revelation. The Jaws parody was the best in pure absurdity, but the Die Hard parody was really their attempt at classic Pink Panther/Tom & Jerry mischief and they utterly nailed it.

Wuzzles is kinda weird, apparently it was a Disney production in collaboration with Hasbro who already had Wuzzle toy properties in production?

I say this pretty much every day: a Wuzzles reboot would be tops.

The Walking Dead became a RPG video game so gradually I didn't even notice.

Anakin killing the assassin wasn't off-putting; the fact that no one really commented on it was weird, particularly in an episode about a character being an aggressive pacifist.

It's the only cartoon beyond, like, anime, with such a surprisingly high body count - to the point it's kinda distracting. There's the one episode where Anakin straight up kills an assassin he gets the drop on. It's so cold-blooded, but no one even comments on it, and it's really glaringly off-putting.

I'll agree with that. I'll say this - it's not a show that works well binging through 'em. Once a week would probably work best for it.

While a lot of the gags and references in Goof Troop make more sense as an adult, I'd disagree with it holding up, mainly because it recycles a pretty mundane formula for about 80% of the episodes.

The funny thing is, Twilight Princess isn't really all that GRIMDARK. It *looks* and *feels* GRIMDARK but it's actually as silly and light-hearted as any other Zelda game - what with Minda's snarky comments, the troubled lazy, soup-making Yeti (complete with snowboarding side-quest!), and the other goofy moments

My ONLY concern is that Archer rushed to catch the elevator at the beginning of the episode. It would be kind of weird if he sabotaged the elevator, only to be in a rush to catch it.

I'd argue that even though you could feel the show slipping at that point, there were some still strong episodes (Karate Island, Skill Crane, Krusty Towers). But yeah, you could see the show getting more frantic and heavier on the nuttiness. Season 5 though is where things REALLY went off the rails.

It's so, so good.

My concern about that scene wasn't the logic of the sci-fi narrative, but more about whether it was an animation/writing mistake. One second the ship is there, as a threat - the next second, it's completely gone. It didn't fire at them, nor did it drop off more troops. It seemed bizarre that it never was addressed.

The Clone Wars cartoon on Netflix tries to kind of explore the whole Trade Federation/Palpatine's plan in detail, but it ended up being MORE complex/boring.

So… basically Nick is making "Spongebob World".
