Well thankfully they've mostly gone back and released the unedited Looney Tunes since they don't need to censor if its on Cable.

This also means they fit on the screen correctly too, since most people have fancy widescreen TV's now.

Netflix is lovely.

I can watch almost all of the 90's.

Time Warner stuff is still missing though, but we're getting it this month.

Opinions.

Well, the first season of R&S, the later seasons can go [tornado fang] off.

And honestly, I don't know of any females that liked R&S, my mom hated the show so much she didn't like me watching it.

Why are kids shows obsessed with being disgusting?

Because Gross-out humor is oh so funni.

The only good gross out humor is in Ren and Stimpy, and plenty of old Nicktoons.

What's more prevalent nowadays is shows that amount to little more than NOISE NOISE NOISE. See "Fanboy and Chum Chum", "Annoying Orange", or a vast majority of Modern Nicktoons for examples.

Hell the only thing Nicktoons (The Channel) is any good for anymore is Reruns of good shows, [parasitic bomb], if I ever have kids (HA!) I'm making them grow up with what I grew up with, the mid-late 90's and early 2000's of TV. That means old Nicktoons, Cartoon Cartoons, DCAU, Power Rangers, and lots of Boomerang.

Because no kid should have to watch a show that eliminates the need for an attention span, that's just wrong.

They really did.

Though the Sat. Morning channels still occasionally had stuff the cable channels didn't, so Kids would be persuaded to watch on Saturday Morning to catch Pokemon or YGO because it wasn't on other channels yet.

I learned that the real reason Pokemon got popular while Digimon didn't: Marketing.

(click to show/hide)

For Pokemon (way back then), the anime was on Kids WB, which had a line-up of awesome shows for kids, the merchandise was marketed for everyone, and the games were on the Gameboy, which was more accessible for kids.
While, for Digimon, the anime was on Fox Kids, which, now that I think about it, had a slightly lackluster set of shows that were more aimed for kids, the anime was edited to try to be comparable to Pokemon (which made it seem like a crappy clone), the merchandise was mostly action figures, thus mostly for boys, and the games were on the Playstation, which was more for serious gamers.

And if you pay attention to how Saturday Mornings have evolved since then, you'll realize that Vortexx is Basically Fox Kids on Kids WB.

Since you got the Fox Kids staples of Power Rangers, Digimon, a Marvel Comics Series (Its Iron Man Armored Adventures, which sucks but whatever.) and a DCAU series (Justice League Unlimited, albeit edited for violence.) on the channel that once held Kids WB, with Yu-Gi-Oh included (And Cubix but who gives a [parasitic bomb] about Cubix?).

(click to show/hide)

Though actually looking at the schedule they've gutted it immensely. No more PR, Digimon isn't on yet, the Marvel Series is gone, the only things left from the original schedule are YGO (Classic and Zexal), DBZ Cut up, JLU, and that awful looking WWE show, Since the adventures of Chris Thorndyke runs for an hour now and they added Transformers Prime for the people who don't have/don't want to watch the Hub.

Right, they are NYC based, so that makes sense.

I don't get the convenience of having nice stores around me so I have to pay shipping.

[parasitic bomb] sucks but gotta put up with it for the hobby.

They seem to have the best prices, Image Anime has it "$5 cheaper" but the shipping is $11.

I liked Iron Man 2, it wasn't as good as the first one but I still enjoyed it for what it was.

This does look better than it though. Hopefully it will be seeing as its the last Solo Iron Man (At least it looks to be that, what with the 3 in the logo going to [parasitic bomb])

Bandai knows what they're doing when it comes to Sentai and Toku in general.

I considered getting the nunchuk but since I didn't get the Gold Wiimote bundle Skyward Sword for Christmas, I felt it better I save my coins and got Ball instead.

Well, I do love Red. But I also like Gold! 

Well, Gold is a relegated special edition color, you can only have a complete gold set if you bought the mediocre Goldeneye remake, Skyward Sword's Limited edition, and bought the Gold Nunchuck from Club Nintendo or Ebay for a super-inflated Price.

Red is impossible to get, only ever being obtainable through the Red 25th Anniversary Mario Wii or the canada-only Wii Mini. And there's no Classic controller in red either.

Thanks for writing. To answer your question, there are no plans to make the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controllers available for separate purchase in Red.
 
However, I'm happy to document your interest in seeing this happen and make sure the appropriate departments here at Nintendo are made aware of it. I can't guarantee anything, but we do take all feedback into consideration

Alright, everybody needs to petition nintendo for red wii accessories. Its a no brainer, why not red?

And for the record... it's bad enough that spiders need to be spoilered (spiders are people, too), but Ponies?  Seriously?  Spoilering Ponies?  Ponies??  PONIES???

Spiders scare people (How, I cannot fathom.), and Ponies bug some people.myself included, but only because i don't expect to see [tornado fang]ing ponies especially since its pretty much on its way out.

Ryo-Ohki Meh. I say. Meh. Here have a pillow,
Wait, so you don´t hate it, yet you do? Im confused now...let´s get this mess sorted up.

Do you hate it or not?


Equally Ridiculous, there is always Xbox/Ps3.

You can't play bootlegs on consoles.

Not easily at least.

I once listened to the Internet theme from MMBN3 for 900 minutes.

I almost got to 1000, but Winamp crashed when I went to pause it.

I still need that Megazord. I hope they come out with a Dragonzord and Zeo Megazord as well. Those were my faves.

Its probably doubtful, from what I hear Zyuranger wasn't very popular in Japan, so unless they do what they've done with the DBZ Line (Which is, continue it based on how well it sells in the US) we might not see anymore Zyuranger stuff, and OhRanger stuff is probably out of the question too since that Bombed in Japan.

I mainly want the rest of the team for MMPR, because right now its only Red and Green. Gotta hope they sell.

Yeah, one line of dialogue every once in a while, good.
Dialogue the entire movie? Only a very very small percentage of the movie is the classic Slapstick and the rest is just helping some stupid girl escape from her evil aunt.

This is the appropriate video regarding that, and any "Squeeze more money out of the consumer" tactics.

If anybody said the Tom & Jerry Movie brought nothing of worth to this world, they are wrong.

It brought 89 minutes and 54 seconds of nothing of worth, and 6 seconds of excellence.
