Remember Dan Vs?

[Captain Jerk]

Who remembers Dan Vs, A revenge comedy from 'The Hub', about a short man named 'Dan Mandel' who gets revenge on his various gripes.

Does Hulu still have it?

Does Hulu still have it?

Uh, I THINK so

 

[Surreal Kangaroo]

I remember it but I didn’t really care much for it.

 

[SpaceCowboy]

I remember it was like The Hub's answer to Adult Swim that somehow felt constrained. Didn't care much for it either.

 

[Parker-Shepherd]

I remember watching an episode during it's initial run on the Hub but that's it but I never really got into it.

 

[SaintJimmy]

I remember being interested in it when it was on, I thought it was pretty funny. Wish they did more with the side-plot of Elise being a secret spy.

Absolutely loved the show. Next to Transformers Prime, The Haunting Hour and Aquabats!, this show introduced me to the Hub.

It was the BEST thing the Hub put out and it's a shame it only went for 3 seasons, honestly.

Three seasons is better than no seasons, though I did wish Dan Vs. garnered more exposure. Besides Transformers Prime, this show really brought me to the Hub. While I never personally got into My Little Pony, thankfully so, I was able to enjoy the other Hub programming offered around that time.

It was a fun show, It's one I don't think would have been picked up Nick, Disney, or even CN. The Hub was fun at taking chances, and this was a good showing of that.

Also, the series is on the free streaming service Tubi Dan Vs.

I got into MLP and I realized I had stop at S5 (simply because it wasn't as funny nor as daring as Dan Vs. - let alone for me. Heck, LPS (2012) sadly isn't as great as Dan Vs. either, and I still had more good to say about that one than MLP, to go off-target for one minute.).

Nothing wrong here, m8.

One of the best shows The Hub had to offer.

 

[CartoonLover2604]

Do I ever it’s dare I say the best show the Hub had to offer. I really wish the Hub could make a return somehow maybe a streaming service like Noggin did, they really had quality programming that I didn’t really take for granted back then (Fore mentioned Dan Vs, Pound Puppies, Aquabats, Kenny the Shark etc)

It's hard to believe that, out of many Hub shows, this one never aired here. IIRC it aired in Israel but don't know of any other country that aired it.

It aired in Israel?!?!?

If I'm not mistaken, it was on Arutz HaYeladim. They even translated the logo, will find it when I have time.

I only remember watching a few episodes of Dan Vs, but I noticed that the show had a more adult-oriented setting than the other shows on The Hub.

Probably since Dan Vs was one of those series not pitched originally for the Hub but rather pitched for other network and blocks (like Adult Swim) that the Hub just picked up. Likely because at the time they wanted to really diversify their audience. Since yeah the original Hub Line up was just essentially reboots of popular old Hasbro properties like Transformers, My Little Pony and GI Joe that yeah were trying to hit the current demographic but you know were all obviously still meant to be geared to a specific audience. I mean no way did anyone at Hasbro at the time know MLP FIM would blow up to having a much older and mature demographic. Thus they probably wanted a series that could slant to an older audience that wasn't just toy based. Thus having Dan Vs which... is a show I do wish I saw more of as I did watch an episode or two and enjoy it but nothing about the show fully caught my attention enough to like fully commit to it. I have a feeling if I saw more of this show I would really dig it as I'm a big sucker for these sort of series that have a lot of sly back and forth exchanges that instead of about teaching morals are about sort of jerky characters wanting revenge on seemingly bigger jerks and the hijinks that come from it. And honestly this does cement Curtis Armstrong as a very solid passionate voice actor... granted not one with really much of a range but this a really great role to show off how appeasing he is as a comedic talent. It's pretty obvious why though this show didn't really take off that much besdies the fact that well The Hub only had so much money to give to the few original series it could muster at the time but yeah this wasn't really able to find an audience. Even among some of the older fans and certainly not among any of the older kids to carry this show throughout the later half of the decade.

Israel was the second biggest country for Dan Vs per capita.
Only behind Hungary(where it got prime time)

Good season for it
