Simpsons and Flintstones are obvious musts, as well. I think their list is about as decent as such a list can get, really. Though not including Rocko's Modern Life was of course iffy. ;-) http://www.HonestGamers.com/ Be honest about your passion for games.

Phew, for a minute I thought I had forgotten to say that.

Those kids were kind of stupid. I've heard some people say they're worried that the new GI Joe movie will just be a Snake Eyes-fest, but wasn't the only reason to watch GI Joe was to hope Snake Eyes and/or Storm Shadow would show up? Much like how the only reason anyone really liked Thundercats was because Panthro had nunchucks.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I don't mind people liking GI Joe, but I don't personally see the appeal of it. Maybe it really is more of a "boy" thing, even moreso than Transformers or Real Ghostbusters. www.flyingomelette.com

Little boys who were 8 years old and fantasized about being in the army thought it would be like in GI Joe. They had other blatant "boy" things (and that made no sense other than as an appeal to little boys), like Joes who were football players or WWF wrestlers.

But boy was the show stupid. There was one that actually was based on making a joke literal. Holy crap at that Youtube video. I can't believe how gay that is. Barbeque -- his name, his voice, his interest in decorating his apartment, his making of "flaming" burgers. That almost has to be intentional.

O_o And especially that guy that's the head of it who calls them "Spoilsports". Maybe it really is a great show after all... www.flyingomelette.com

Yeah... I live on the internet.

I think we might have even seen it twice. So, I got it for her on DVD for some holiday, and she opened the present, looked quizzical like she didn't know what it was or why that would be a gift, and said, "Oh? This?"

My mother and another family member rented the live action Jungle Book years ago, right around the same time they rented Paulie. I don't remember jack squat about the Jungle Book now, but I do remember telling them I wasn't going to watch movies with them anymore because they always rented things that were really bad. www.flyingomelette.com

I didn't really care much about the former, and there was more than enough of the latter in nearly every episode of G.I. Joe. Now that I'm older, I'm able to watch and enjoy the G.I. Joe episodes all over again. They definitely have a terrific sense of humor and there's some great fantasy to them. A lot of it is mystical, so I'd agree that the show isn't more realistic than Transformers. It's just more fun for me, someone who doesn't see the appeal in huge robots (I don't get Gundam and Robotech, either). http://www.HonestGamers.com/ Be honest about your passion for games.

Posts: 2733 (02/09/09 6:01 PM) I Look Like an Egg Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	The few times I tried watching (the original) Transformers or GI Joe, I was bored out of my skull. I don't know what the deal with GI Joe was, but with Transformers it's possible that it was because I only saw the post-Optimus Prime episodes. Now, Beast Wars, I WAS able to get into on my own, but I admit the beginning episodes were a little slow. But that's still no excuse for leaving it off. ReBoot was just the opposite - it started out good, but got ruined in the third season when it became The Angsty Adult Enzo Show. (But I'd still seriously rather watch that than some of the things they have on there.) Got Shnoo? Proud Staff Member of Deathamster's Nest

The beginning of G1 is a little slow, too, but not as slow as Dragon Ball Z, which is sometimes touted as being the greatest action cartoon ever. www.flyingomelette.com

As much as the internet seems to hate that cartoon now, there must have been somebody who liked it. (Me, for one.) Screw the internet, that show was awesome! >:( Did you know Tim Burton himself wrote a few of the episodes? Aww, man! According to wikipedia, Wacky Races only ran for 17 episodes. What an injustice! I live on the internet.

Dragonball Z was slow. Transformers might have taken a little time to peak, but I'm not sure what someone would think of in terms of it being "slow".
