I'm gonna agree that this episode (and the Allergy two weeks ago) were really bad. Anais was shaping up to be a much better character in the later part of season 2 and even in the first few of this season, but they took a huge step backwards with these last two episodes with her. Having her be...

I'm in the exact opposite position. I hated, hated, hated season one and actually did drop the show. A handful of people did, too, iirc. Season 2 and the first handful of season 3 episodes really revived my interest in the show, but they're in a mid-season funk right now. It's always been the...

I would ask you to provide some examples of this. If you think of most comedy-based cartoons, the female characters are usually the hyper competent athletic/intelligent types thrown in to meet a quota or domineering female bullies. Just off the top of my head I can think of Francine from Arthur...

A little embarrased to admit, but I think WordGirl and Shezow are my favorite superhero shows right now :sweat: I think they did a pretty good job with Kelly & Guy in Shezow - Kelly's organized and well read, and did make fun of Guy when he was learning the ropes. But she's arrogant and...

Execs are as clueless about that as they are on humor. Look at Word Girl & My Little Pony. There isn't even a precedence for such an attitude - think about The Magic School Bus, Pepper Ann, Daria, Aeon Flux and so on. Boys like shows with female leads, and that's a fact. You know what boys...

If you liked action cartoons, I agree, the 90s still are untouchable. D.C. and Disney especially had great shows. But nothing else appealed to me. Anything on Nick (Klasky/Csupó and that aesthetic especially) or anything by John K (or in that vein) just was completely wasted on me. Really...

The 80s were before my time, but from what I've seen (mostly Filmation and Nintendo series), they had a completely different type of condescending slant - like, 'kids are so dumb we have to spell out the moral of the episode fifty times to make sure they understand it. Oh, and here's a PSA after...

Wow, I didn't expect that would get a positive response - I was afraid people would call me out for hating on "the classics" which is what normally happens when I say I didn't like popular cartoons between 1990 and 2010. I mean, if you are a fan of those shows, no disrespect. I just think a lot...

I'm amazed at the turn around the second season had. I kinda hated almost all of season one and dropped it when I realized I was dreading each new episode instead of looking forward to them. I thought The Huntsman's review of The Finale got at my problems with the first season - the characters...

Nothing makes me more disgusted about this article than the fact studio execs are going back to this horrible standard of treating little boys like sociopathic morons. Everything has to have "stupid boy humor" "goofy slapstick," or it gets canceled or not picked up. It's like saying 'well my...

I'm really liking the kind of humor they go for, relying on puns, clever writing, visual gags, and eccentric characters instead of taking the easy path of YELLINGISFUNNAH XD, abusing a punching bag character, or relying on random non sequesters. Even when they use cut aways (the counterfeiting...

This hit all the right notes for me - I really liked it. Neither of the twins are pigeonholed as the "stupid" one, Soos isn't completely useless despite being labeled a "manchild," the setting is fun without being too dark or too kiddy, and most importantly, at the end I was curious to see what...

twenty twelve just makes sense to me. I don't say, "America declared independence in one thousand seven hundred and seventy six," or even "seventeen hundred and seventy six." I say "seventeen seventy six." Therefore, "twenty twelve."

I can't really compare characterization since I just started watching MLP with S2, but I didn't like this one as much as the past couple. I guess it's because Dash is one of the ponies I like. She was full of herself, but the punishment/lesson seemed to go overboard - she was saving people's...
