It's a damn shame really.

I haven't been able to watch that show since like six seasons ago.

They just could't let it die with dignity.

Be fair, tho'--that sort of prolonged death was almost inevitable. After all, since when did the terms "FOX Network" and "dignity" ever appear in the same sentence, except in the close company of the words "never had any"?

Sadly, I used to like Mighty Ducks. Looking back, I fail to see the attraction. Maybe because it had girl characters who could fight, instead of just sit behind a computer and pretend to hack into databases to get information so the guys could go out and kick ass.

I used to like Blazing Dragons, too. I must be the only person in the world who did.

I think the worst shows these days are Rugrats: All Grown Up and whatever the heck PowerPuff Girls are doing these days. Why the hell did they make them grow up?! That was the whole point of the show!

Sailor Moon is the only show that I know that really, REALLY insults my intelligence. I've seen some girls in my school blathering about the storyline and it really pisses me off. Hey, wanna know how to stop evil from pinning you down mercilessly under their power? How about if you stop announcing your name and what you're going to do right before you go into battle?
What I really want is a Metal Gear Solid cartoon show. It would feature Solid Snake taking crap from nobody. It would be the Anti-Sailor Moon.
Just a thought.

well, i used to REALLY like Rugrats before the times when Kimi joined. when they showed the All Grown Up special, i really liked it. i thought that there should be a series. at first, it was cool, but after a while i didnt like it.

unrelated, spongebob is probably the only cartoon i still watch on Nick every once in a while.

And what was that about the Powerpuff Girls?

What about Avatar? That show is pretty cool.

This is somewhat suspicious.

Shit... That was like Sailor Moon, only with three girls, and a "cuter" drawing style.

Though, to be fair, I was expecting something else when you said 'suspicious'. ^_^;;;

We-ell, as something of a Sailor Moon fan (it was the first anime I ever saw, for one thing), I'd have to respectfully disagree with your assessment that they're completely helpless in the face of evil. (Tho' for the first season or so, they do end up owing a big debt to Tuxedo Save-Yer-Arse.) It has no mechanized suits, nor is it about an intergalactic war, but I daresay that at its best, it's not bad for its genre.

And have a *little* sympathy for it, if the version you're hearing of is the dub--as (am I right on this?) one of the first animes imported for a North American audience, it was pretty thoroughly mutilated in the dubbing process, especially the first season or two. In certain parts of most story arcs, it lost a *lot* that would otherwise probably make it more tolerable, and certainly more coherent.

I'm not trying to proselytize the Word of Usagi to you, I'm just saying--while it's pretty blatantly a show for the ladies (which may not suit you, but it's fine by me :D ), it's not necessarily a bad show, and it's certainly better than its dub would imply.
