First we have the new mutant themed Dark Angel. This one baffles me. They had a perfectly good thing going with the old Dark Angel. Proffessor X-ish wheelchair guy finds evil. Max beats crap out of evil. Everyone goes home happy. Its the kind of plot that can be explained on the back of a napkin. And the reviews were good. The ratings were high. Why did they change it to somthing that could not be explained on the back of a napkin, that would require a sixth dimensional hypertesseract projection to fully illustrate all of its plot holes. Then we have Love Cruise. I think if David was asked to design a reality TV show it would be somthing like Love Cruise. I only watched one and a half episodes before my gag reflex took over but it appeared to combine the worst parts of Survivor with the worst parts of High School. Oh and the person who can burn through the most partners gets a cash prize. All I can say is .. wow. Then we have Undeclared. I suppose it is ok for what it is trying to be, a comedy set in a collage dorm(wow original) but it seems to be lacking somthing. Like action. No cops, no ninjas, no Kingons, no agents, no aliens, not even a friken Ex-Navy SEAL. If I wanted to watch a contrived sitcom about a nonexistant collage, I would just tail David. I had all but stopped watching cartoons due to overwhelming and relentless *mon saturation but I sat down today to see what they were offering. I feel ill. There is still heavy and total *mon infection but now we have the offshoot of *mon in the form of card game cartoons like Ui Ge Oh (spelling?), or as I like to call it You Gay No?. You Gay No? is a dumbed down version of games like Magic, massively simplified so it can be understood both through the haze of Japanamation, and by the target audience of little kids with severe *mon infections. One can only hope that Wizards of the Coast litigate You Gay No? into oblibion. FOX has a cartoon called "alienators" based on the movie "Evloution". Evloution was a comedy... Alienators is not. Sad that a show so tacky does not look that bad compared to the compition. Fox also still has the stupid as fuck Power Rangers on. I thought *mon put an ax in the black heart of Power Rangers years ago There is a cartoon on on FOX called "Ripping Friends". Oh my god. This show does not just cross a line, it throws up on it. In the episode I watched, some superheros(the "Ripping Friends" I presume) had to fight a giant evil rooster... called... the Ovulator. I am not making this up!. A villan called the Ovulator.. on a childrens show. The Ovulator could shoot eggs.. out of his ass. The amount of butt grabbing in the show was off the scale. Almost makes you long for the era of Harsh Realm     Syntax Error/:|Forum|Articles|
