One of the best concept to worst execution ratios I've ever seen

>>86519147
Nah it's actually a pretty fun show to watch.

>>86519147

>>86519147
Anon is disappointed there weren't enough sex scenes.

>Fish Police
>show about anthropomorphic fish, with an art style ripped from your standard Saturday morning cartoon
>Put it on CBS Primetime, what could go wrong?

Doomed from the start.

>>86519001
Comic was good I hear.

>>86522187
It was better than the show at least.

>>86519001
Megaman could've actually been a kickass animated series. Countless powers, dozens of colorful villains and MOTW, a colorful crew of sidekicks, and a very direct storyline. Instead we got a bizarre fever dream of a series.

>>86525914
I thought it was OK actually. It could have been better, but it was still enjoyable even if the humor fell a little flat.

Does this particular species suckle their young after they presumably hatch like gargoyles apparently do?

Or did the animators just want to slap tits on everything?

>>86529234
The show had a baffling number of waifu tier characters.

>>86519001
Gravity Falls.

>>86529286
... That doesn't answer the question at all.

If the existence of tits on a character determined waifu status, then the majority of /a/ are lying to themselves.

>>86519001
Too many guy characters, needed more focus and screentime on just the girls

>>86527910
Yeah that epilogue could've been a whole lot better too. The worst fucking plot twist out of all DCAU, and people were actually eating it up.

>>86519001

There was another show that came out at about the same time called "Capitol Critters." It was about rats and cockroaches.

>>86519001
All these years and there's barely any porn of those two

>>86521794
It might have worked if the writing was better. If they focused more on the detective angle instead of making fish puns it might have been more successful.

>>86534781

I'm actually kind of confused that this isn't among the shows that /co/ constantly shits on.
Not saying it deserves it, but it's just objectively worse than a number of shows that do get shit on.

The same thing happened to the animaniacs comic when they brought pinky&brain back into the comic sales tanked canceled thanks again steven.

>>86536751
I think it was something along the lines of "Warner Bros said that this did well in focus groups so now we have to write this inorganic, borderline non sequitur concept or we're fired."

The fact that they made it under protest is basically blatantly stated. The theme is a perfect example.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07TicoKEC10

All in all, not a TERRIBLE show, but most of the quality comes from the fact that it was written sarcastically.

Pinky & the brain were pets of steven spielberg
no matter that sucked there comic died & they brought back into animaniacs comic & it died..

I do not believe it did well in focus groups. I'm pretty that's a lie at best. One of the executives clearly had a hard on for Elmyra.

>>86536729
Of the second season of UPN cartoons, it was one of the better ones. Still doesn't justify cancelling Teknoman two-thirds of the way through its run for fucking Jumanji though.

>>86537422
This was the year that over half the NBC subsidiaries dropped cartoons for local news.

And then the year afterwards edutainment requirements put a bullet in its head.

Remember when networks weren't afraid to experiment with new programming? I feel like this show as the birth place or origin of Toonami

>>86538102
I like Drawn Together but they 100% executed their concept poorly. They only used the reality show angle as a hook to get greenlit and then dropped it once they felt like doing whatever random shit they wanted. Seeing an actual reality show of different genre characters would be cool.

>>86534781
What about this seemed like it could have been good?

Waifu shit aside, the concept/premise could have made a good film.

>>86544559
Could it have? I feel like making an explicitly supernatural movie where there's no mystery about the monsters goes against the spirit of Scooby Doo

Zombie Island gets a past for having a good mystery and making real monsters a legitimate twist

>>86533978

Honestly, it felt like Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy were just there because they're recognizable.

You could have easily replaced them with all new characters, or maybe even other Hanna-Barbera characters and probably would've worked just as well, maybe even better.

I didn't mind that, but I was not a fan of the older scooby doo shows anyway.

>>86536619
People on /co/ like it for the same reason why there are those that like Steven Universe, because they want to bone the girl characters.

>>86533799
Why did they give it the goofy sci-fi setting? Nobody but nobody liked sci-fi highlander.

>>86546631
He-Man had a space/sci-fi cartoon as well and that sucked, too.

>>86535107
It's weird how bad he's treated posthumously. That terrible sequel to The Mask was about his descendant trying to be a good animator and he needs to take inspiration from the mask to produce the awful 3D animated short at the end of the movie that we're supposed to believe is career saving. It's almost as if someone out there hated him.

Oh god so much wasted potential.
It was enjoyable but the randumb from star just got unbearable for a while and theres no justifying that transparent hair over the eyes.

>>86525914
I feel like it had great moments and humour but didn't quite find its groove. In some alternate universe people talk about the first 10-something episodes being a bit weak before it picks up.

>>86547689
They should have gone as over-the-top as humanly possible since the crazier moments were the ones that worked best.

only 1/4 the time and usually Captain Hero. For the most part it's one of the best executed shows I've ever seen, the musical stings are simple yet perfect, great voices (except for Hero).

stories vary, its either a focus group or an obsessed exec but it was a one note show that didn't have much in the way of content to build on for jokes. At least animaniacs had a cast of characters to do shit with in between EDUCATION.

Flapjack was great. And didn't it get a pretty good run season wise?

It's not what I would have done with the premise but it was still funny and unique and filled with some really good animation
