TV Talk!

I actually like quite a few shows on Cartoon Network. I'm not gonna go in detail which ones unless someone wants to know but yeah, there's some fun stuff on there still.

Thinking about it, Boys are the ones that by the super heroes, Transformers, Thundercats, and the like, while Girls are known to buy dolls and ponys.

Times are changing, though. It seems that this note has started circulating McDonalds restaurants everywhere. Well, obviously slightly different per restaurant with the manager name and all but anyway.

The only reason for this is because manchildren have started to watch My Little Pony and will probably take offense to this somehow.

I started to watch Breadwinners recently, and my god it's so awful I had to shut the television off.

Why Nick thought this was a good idea?

It could be worse. We could have 4 hours of nothing but Spongebob everyday........ oh wait...

I checked out my TV's guide for Nick to see when shows came on and I was really shocked to see that most of the programing was Spongebob. I think there was a good 4-6 hours of episodes lined up back to back. The only other show that I saw doing this was Farly Odd Parents which had 1 and a half-2 hours (the normal amount of time that I remember the popular show having). I never realized how popular the yellow sponge really is. This really scares me.

I take offense to this sentence.

They have show marathons sometimes. I remember watching two or three seasons of Adventure Time in one sitting. That's how I got into the show.

I've grown increasingly accepting of pretty much anything. If someone is interested in something, I try and respect ideas and fandoms. I'm aware Dungeons and Dragons is a little nerdier than what people like, so I'm not one to talk or judge.

But, no matter how hard I try, I will never understand the Pony fandom.

I've done the same thing, but it's becuse I'm starting to see that people put strnge types of stories in movies, games, and TV shows. Do we really understand that we have shows about mutant turtles fighting ninjas and monsters, people in colorful costumes fighting aliens and sometimes mutants, and.... well, whatever Cow and Chicken was about.

Also I understand why people like the pony show, as it is pretty entertaining though dumb at times (my niece made me watch it a few times). I just don't understand the grown men watching the show, like how did they first find out they liked it.

While you're all taking about new TV shows, I'm watching Captain Kirk introduce Abraham Lincoln to his crew on Netflix.

The Original Series of Star Trek can never be replicated.

Picard was better. :P

If we are to rate captains...
I would feel the most safe as a crew man under Archer in a war/battle situation. I base this on both soundness of mind and ingenuity.
Kirk is the most unpredictable.
Picard is clearly the most logical captain, and is the greatest with negotiating. I say that he would be the greatest at contacting new species and most interesting captain to watch.
Janeway, I feel, is the most vengeful captain. I feel that she has the most realistic portrayal of a captain.
Sisko is the curve ball. I would trust his judgements as a commander, but the whole spiritual side did get in the way occasionally.

But, in any case... TOS has the most unique/left field plots. My fave out of all of them is still TNG, but I do love me some DS9 for the simple reason of the Ferengi.

Ah, so there IS something to prove we are not clones!

I don't know much about the later 3 shows but I can tell you my impressions from people showing a few episodes.

Kirk is a wominizing jackass, but can control a situation when the time comes. Also loves to fight
Picard is more of a smart caption who likes to think his way out of a confrontation, but will use a blaster "phazer" to help solve a problum. One of the coolest heads out of the five.
Janeway is crazy. Any logical tactic of hers involves blowing up the ship, killing the thing of the week, or both. She's also kinda fun to watch.
Sisco reminds me of Picard, but like Q once said "much easier to provoke," though it's a lot fun to see him punch Q right in the nose.
Archer is another story. I find him a person who hates his job becuse he's surrounded by people he does not like (even though he hand picked a few of them). I can see why people don't like Enterprise.

I like the storys of TNG and VOY, and if I had to rank my favorite captions it would be Picard, Sisco, Janeway, Kirk, and Archer. (This came from watching only 5 episodes of DS9 and like 2-3 of Enterprise.)

I'm starting to watch Game Center CX (or atlest the episodes that I can find) and I forgot how much fun watching the show was. The problem that I have is the guy that I am watching translated the games titles too. It bugs me to hear PC Ginjin and Bio-Hazard but read Bonk's Adventure and Resident Evil, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Haha, apparently. I tried watching it, really. After the first episode I was like "Meh. I can kinda see the fandom I guess. Then I watched the second one and was like "Well they solved the problem quickly." Then I watched the third and was like "Okay, had enough." Not getting it, man.

It's not the liking the show part that gets me. I liked Dexter's Lab and Power Puff Girls as a kid. Similar humor by the same dude. What gets me is this, raw, relentless fandom. It's not "Yeah, the show is okay. I watch it if it's on." for bronies. It's "I love this show a ton. So much, in fact, that I have MLP collectibles all over my room. I have a ponysona, this is the drawing of me as a pony. I'm really excited for this week's episode. So good."

And I'm like "wat.jpg."

It's kind of in the middle for me. I mean, I don't go hogging all manner of pony paraphernalia (apart from the delicious, delicious comics) or have a ponysona (I still can't believe that's a thing) but I am excited when a new episode comes out. I'm like this with other shows I watch too so it's really nothing new for me.

I will be completely honest about My little pony friendship is magic. I for one love it only for the following reasons. A well developed show where it takes something that was once known by the public as 'too sweet for anyone' and reworks it while at the same time making it appealing for both kids and adults to watch. Great music. I hope that they release a soundtrack with the scores for the show. I know that they released a soundtrack with some of the songs from the first and second season last year.

And(most importantly when it comes to developing any tv show if you want it to be good) great characters and its well animated. Each episode focuses on a different character where a lesson can be learned. And the best part? Its not forced. Its well balanced and its sending the message across the bridge. Even the animation is great coming from Flash(yes, if you can put time and effort into things with flash you can do some pretty amazing things with it like this show here). There are a ton of talented artists who work on the show. If you look at the credits on the production of the show, some of the people who work on Friendship is Magic also worked on Ed Edd n Eddy.

My only gripe with the show is that the fans(some of them) go way to far with liking the show. Heck. They even entered the 'coo-coo' territory in the same way fan communities of Sonic the hedgehog and Final Fantasy are insane. I'm not like that. I'm not one of those people who collects the toys of the show, I just watch the show. As much as I'd like to own a few of the pony toys as collectibles, I m not going to go through hell just to own one. Also. There are a few people who have complained that it was only created just to sell the toys. Let me just point this out. Batman used to suck, it was just campy. Fast-forward, with the help of Frank Miller and Bruce Timm. Batman would later be known for as the dark knight we all know today as. Instead of the campy corny image he was in the days of Adam West. So remakes for shows can be good if they are in the right hands.

I'm still waiting for a PROPER animated film of Friendship is Magic. Not any of the Equestria girls stuff.

Basically how I feel about it. When I sat and watched it, I didn't hate it. My brother and I both sat and watched it together and after episode 3, we weren't like "ER MER GERD THIS SUCKS." I actually just kinda thought of it as an example of a good cartoon on TV. In the same way I feel about Gravity Falls. I also am a fan of Dan Vs, which used to be on the HUB as well, but I think it was canned after three seasons. I even named my cat Mr. Mumbles like Dan did.
