I don't know, I actually haven't seen X-Play in awhile, I'll try to catch one of the new shows to find out. I never had real interest in Judgement Day, but I've watched them one or two times. On G4, there isn't a show I watch 'regularly', but more I look for specials that have a game I like (such as Cinematech having something on Munch's Oddysee, or that one show (is it called 'idols'?), they had a Zelda themed show and an Oddworld themed show that I liked.

Family guy - if sky one'd ever show it at a time other than 00:00 on a Sunday.

Other than that, only BBC comedies really.

Nepharski presents some quality entertainment:
-Whose Line is it Anyway?
-Good Eats
-The Daily Show
-The Pretender
-Monty Python's Flying Circus
-Tremors (Laugh if you must)
-Pinky and the Brain/Animaniacs (Not anymore, sadly :()
-The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (Old school!)
-Fairly Odd Parents

That's about it. I used to watch Sonic X, but then it started to depress me (I miss the old cartoons). I also sometimes catch a few minutes of Teen Titans, Dragon Ball, and Futurama, from time to time.

I'm starting to feel that way about Judgment Day.

The quality of their reviews has declined rapidly lately. I almost never find anything they say on that show useful when buying a new game...

And they need to quit acting like RPG's are crap and first person shooters are always the best games. I could complan more but then I could go no for hours.

I remember Animaniacs, and oh, Sonic the Hedgehog! I was so addicted to that show, I remember it being the coolest thing for me... Me and my older brother used to pretend all the time that he was Sonic and I was Tails, and we would play games about it in my backyard. And I remember getting Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the game, for Sega... Heh, and I remember the Sonic Says at the end. They used to play the oldschool shows on Toon Disney, I don't know if they still do.

I also like dragon ball. Not dragonballz, the old one. I wish they would show those again...

Nice to find another Sonic fan on the board. :D

Yeah, the show was incredibly awesome. I swear, if they ever release that on DVD...it's mine! All mine! Bwhahaha!!!

Here's to old school, eh chaps?

I've got two tapes of that show...
Episodes 1 - 4.
It's not that great, that Sonic show that they lived in the forest and there was Metal Sonic and that chick with the robot arm was better.

OddAlchemist 05-21-2005 02:34 PM

The reason for all the violence in kids shows is because their ussualy cut animes.I hate it when channels like cartoonnetwork and kidswb get animes and make them stupid with thre gay little comments and cut out obvious things.Like in OnePiece they gave sanji a ****ing lollypop insted of a ciggarete!

Leto 05-21-2005 04:02 PM

Sorry to be a bother, but what the fuck are you talking about, OddAlchemist?

Oh yeah, those old school Mortal Kombat cartoons. I used to watch them. Not the shitty MK3 series, mind you. That was just unbelievebly horrible. It was the MK1 cartton, you know, the one episode series. That ruled. But now the tapes ****ed... :( Damn you, VHS!

SeaRex 05-21-2005 06:15 PM

He's talking about how American companies take Japanese children's shows and censor them so that the obviously more fragile American children can handle it with their obviously more fragile minds.

Obviously. :p

Well, I've never seen that one, unfortunately. :( At least, not on television. Sounds strangely similar to the comic series, though (Yes, I've read Sonic comics. Silence!).

Rupture Farms 10-03-2007 03:09 AM

My favourite live-action TV shows include: The IT Crowd, The Catherine Tate Show, or The Mighty Boosh. There really isn't a huge selection really..

But on the topic of "Cartoons", then theres a whole other story..

I'd usually consider The Simpsons an animated TV show, but I guess I'll call it a cartoon, just this once.

Not only do I love it, I might just be one of the biggest fans in the world. I'm serious.
I own the first 8 season DVDs, 5 "classic" DVDs, and a Simpsons mobile phone.
And to top it off, I spend most of my free time on a Simpsons forum! :fuzsmile:

Some more of my favourite cartoons include, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, and Drawn Together. :D

Jordan 10-04-2007 03:12 AM

Dude! This thread is 2 years old? Why do you keep digging old threads up?
Anyway I might as well say my favourite shows.

Drake and Josh.
SpongeBob Squarepants.
South Park.
Dirty Sanchez.

They're about the only decent things they show anymore.
Fuck Ben 10 and he can go eat his watch.

No, it's not like that.
You see, when I was here on my first day, I just searched for some threads that I was interested in and posted in them.
I didn't know this particular one was 2 years old, and neither did I know you weren't allowed to resurrect old threads.

But I know that now, and it won't happen again. Trust me. ;)

Havoc 10-04-2007 05:55 AM

Prison Break :D
Las Vegas
Stargate Atlantis
House M.D.
NCIS

Don't sweat it Rupture Farms, as long as you don't resurrect them with messages like "lol" it's all fine. Besides we have a lot of new members around now anyway who can have their say in the topic.

abe is now! 10-04-2007 06:09 AM

Don't worry, Rupture Farms! If you want to say something, say it!

Thanks. :)

And can someone please tell me why "Thread Necromancy" seems to be frowned upon here? It sounds pretty stupid to me; if there's a good thread, but it's older than 30 days, it's "out of bounds"..

Havoc 10-04-2007 07:24 AM

It depends on the circumstances and the topic. We've had a history of idiots replying on 3 year old topics with a mere "lol".

Yeah, well I would never do that.

Does this "rule" apply when you actually take the time to write a few paragraphs about it?

Havoc 10-04-2007 11:16 AM

No it doesn't.

mudling 10-04-2007 11:40 PM

Well not realy any, my parents are trying to band me from Tv during the week, and I'm out on weekends, but the chasers war on everything and summer heights heigh are good. Now my entire year is quoting that show though, there are dictatorship tags everywhere, and everyone is singing the songs (I'm party girl with a ... bad habit ... a bad habit for drugs!) so it is kind of getting annoying lol, well at least they're stopped singing the pokemon and captian planet themesongs and quoting the simpsons, thank god that is over, lol.

Strike Witch 10-05-2007 12:00 AM

Most shows I genuinely want to watch I get off Bitorrent, the only other one that has gotten my attention is Heroes, and possibly Bionic Woman.

Rupture Farms 10-05-2007 12:52 AM

In the first season, The Chasers War on Everything was a good show.
It was very patchy, but at least it was watchable.

The second season started out good, stayed good, got worse, and got a little more worse, then officially sucked.
They don't seem to even know why they're doing it anymore; they just seem to be doing it for the sake of doing it. :fuzblink:

As for Summer Heights High, well that's a whole other story.. :D

It's easily the most realistic, best acted TV show currently, and arguably the best in a long, long time.

While I don't care for Jonah; he seems like a typical "bogan" that replies to everything with the word, "f*ck". I know he's just a stereotypical portrayal of these people, and in my opinion, Chris Lilley hit the nail on the head with this on; it's just that I can't stand these people. Not even a little.

Mr. G is absolutely excellent. Everything he says is hilarious...so much so that sometimes, I fail not to laugh.

And last but not least, Ja'mie. I'm glad they brought her back from "We Can Be Heroes", because she was one of that show's standout characters.
The things she does....I don't know, but it really strikes a chord with me. I've known people like this, and Lilley's portrayal couldn't be more accurate.

For the first episode I saw, I thought this show was great, but still finding itself. It wasn't my favourite show, but I'd happily watch it every week; simply because it's so downright entertaining.

After I saw the most recent episode, I started to recognise that something extraordinary is really happening with this show. It's found itself.
