One of my favorite episodes would probably be the most simplest. The show's producers recorded this as the "most popular" question that people would like to know. Here it is. "Would you pop your eyes out IF you sneeze with your eyes open". (Episode 84: Viewer's Choice special)
I myself wanted to know if it was so, but hey, if it was true I didn't want to be the idiot who confirms it. Imagine me saying "Ha! This myth is true... myth is true!" with my eyes dangling or hitting the floors rolling waay out.
Well, the first ...
Teen Titans is one of those shows that progressed in quality with each season, hardly fluctuating at all. The show started out rather kid-oriented but became darker and more complex with each passing season (though season 5 was mostly one big fangasm). Season 2 is one of the better seasons and also one of the most memorable, as it adapts possibly the most famous storyline from the New Teen Titans comic book series by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
Season 2 roughly adapts “the Judas Contractâ€, but as you ...
The American produced Street Fighter: the Series tends to get quite a bit of flack from fans, some going so far as to call it “the worst video game cartoon ever madeâ€. Hey, it wasn’t perfect, but in no universe was it ever as bad as the mid-90’s Mega Man cartoon. But that’s another story.
Street Fighter: the Series was a loose continuation of the live action Street Fighter film starring Jean Claude Van Damme. That sentence alone is enough to frighten most people away from ever watching the ...
In 1997, the blockbuster film Men in Black hit screens and suddenly became the “Ghostbusters of the 90’s†(just ignore that whole Extreme Ghostbusters thing). Being the huge Ghostbusters fan that I am, I was immediately drawn to Men in Black. Though it carried a similar concept in passing, Men in Black was quite different from my childhood obsession. While the Ghostbusters were a small, four-man operation that was more like a pest control service, the Men in Black were a huge, interplanetary organization ...
In the early 90’s, after the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles proved to be such a tremendous success, a slew of action cartoons featuring anthropomorphic animal heroes besieged the airwaves. Most of them, whether they were based on pre-existing properties or not, were pretty bad. However, a few shining examples managed to make it through, and probably the best of them all was Swat Kats: the Radical Squadron. Originally premiering in 1993, Swat Kats was one of first original shows on Cartoon Network (which was just getting its feet wet). ...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Classic) Vol. 6 – Review
Dec 06 2006
Posted by Spengs as DVD Reviews, TV Reviews
Family Home Entertainment has finally released the sixth volume of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, which unfortunately, doesn’t contain as many classic and memorable episodes as their last offering. This volume features the fourth and final part of season 3, as well as the first episode of season 4. Season 3 was one of the TMNT’s stronger seasons, and according to many fans, supposedly the last good season (though, the show did spike back upward in quality for seasons 7 through 10). While this set ...
I wasn’t fortunate enough to have seen Samurai Pizza Cats when it originally aired. I knew it existed, but I sort of passed it off as yet another anthropomorphic animal action cartoon trying to cash-in on the popularity of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (like Street Sharks, Biker Mice from Mars or the COWboys of Moo Mesa). I didn’t give it a fair chance until many years after the initial run, and I have to admit, this show really doesn’t get enough credit.
Samurai Pizza Cats was imported from Japan, “translated†...
In 1986, Rankin-Bass had themselves a sure-fire hit with their flagship animated series, Thundercats. So with all the money rolling in, how does one follow-up such a success? Why, with an exact duplicate, of course. Silverhawks is often called “Thundercats in space†and that description isn’t too far off base. From the voice actors, to the animation, to the plots, to the characters, to the name, Silverhawks draws so many comparisons to its older brother that people can’t help but qualify the show as “just like Thundercatsâ€. Now, ...
Bionic Six was a series I didn’t get into until the Sci-Fi Channel began rerunning it in the mornings, along with Star Wars: Droids, the New Gigantor and the Transformers. I only enjoyed it in passing, as it wasn’t my favorite of their morning line-up, honestly. I remember thinking Mother-1 was kinda hot, though.
The show was an American-Japanese joint production, with animation by TMS (Tokyo Movie Shinsha), the same people that brought us Mighty Orbots and tons of other Japanese-animated cartoons. I remember the animation being rather good, ...
I’m afraid I wasn’t one of those kids who got to grow up watching Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, leaving me without a nostalgic fondness for the show. As a result, I tend to view it with a rather critical eye, noticing quite a few flaws and shortcomings. Yet, even as I watch it today, there are a few aspects that I genuinely enjoy.
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs was released in the United States in 1987, following the trend of popular space Western cartoons ...

Daryl of Dunder Mifflin
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]-

Hit your molars, please!
We all remember how good ‘ol mom would always remind us to “brush your teeth before going to bed, dear”, or “use toothpaste for heaven’s sake” or “would you please brush your molars too?”. It was good for mom to do that, if they didn’t I think half the world (or even more) would be [...]From the Editor
