The lack of Clerks: TAS in this thread is disturbing.
Unless it's some sort of trick, which in that case...well played NeoGAF.

i got this on dvd. out of the 6 (i think) episodes maybe 1 or 2 i liked and even then it wasnt omg awesome. i think if they had more time (meaning more episodes) to figure it out it would have improved.

Jamie Kellner.
i never knew that but i remember liking the saturday WB lineup during that freakazoid/earthworm jim/animaniacs run. what a loser
Invader Zim and Gargoyles
What really sucks about Gargoyles is that Disney has burned the fans 3 times! First they cancel it, then bring it back, but with bad writing and animation, and finally they cancel the DVD releases!
I'm very bitter about the whole Gargoyles dvd issue. It just seems cruel to not release volume 3. At least Invader Zim had all its episodes released, with awesome commentaries on most episodes.

Well, in his defense, he did try to revamp Pinky & The Brain before canceling it when he told the producers they had to add new, marketable characters, leading to the incredible, unforgettable classic: Pinky, Elmyra & The Brain.

...whenever Poochie's not onscreen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Poochie"?

It would not surprise me if that episode was partly influenced by that madness, considering they both happened around the same time.

I also want to add that every time I hear Cree Summer sing, I lose 3 hairs.

The 2nd episode of the series is the all time funniest cartoon episode. Doing a flashback episode for your 2nd episode is the greatest idea ever.

I like to think the kids were stranded there.
Forever.
lol, I think that was the intention really, so they would be able to keep milking the series.SonicMegaDrive said:
There was a bunch of rumours that they died and went to hell and stuff but the script for the final episode "Requiem" by Michael Reaves does exist:

I remember thinking Clone High looked retarded when I saw the ads for it...then I watched all of the episodes via the only means at the time (downloading through a certain website where I get my MST3K eps).
My god, what have I done? That show was amazing!

Why did it take two posts before someone mentioned this?Borgnine said:
Pretty much most of FOX in the early-mid 90's (Eek the Cat, Dark Water a.k.a The Pirates of Dark Water, X-Men). Throw in Rocko's Modern Life, Megas XLR (OMG the anime nuts like it!), Samurai Jack (see last parenthesis), Justice League and its sequel Unlimited, Batman: Beyond, Mission Hill...
also Invasion: America was a miniseries that ended. Technically it wasn't canceled unless it came back in another incarnation I don't know of.

At this point everything that needs to be said probably has been said, but I'll throw one more on the pile

The best thing UPN ever did (well this and 7 Days)

im not sure what it is about this show, but i was really cautious going into it, and ended up thoroughly liking it. there arent many shows like it on tv today, which is depressing.
also, fillmore
a detective show thats a parody of those 70's cop shows, and it was a good one. it a shame it got executed(much like the weekenders) for being the icarus to the sun that was kim possible, but it at least had 2 seasons, so i cant be too bitter

it might have done a joke used in the strip, but that was it. it was far different from the strips i'd read. way over the top with a lot of the episodes
Speaking of Sailor Moon, sad that many people in the US will probably never see the final season Sailor Stars, which imo was the cartoon at it's best - the finale was just amazing. But I guess the whole hermaphrodites being main characters put a hamper on anyone wanting to dub the episodes. I mean, if they made Sailor Uranus and Neptune cousins, who knows what would have happened to the Starlights.
And on this note, no more Sailor Moon.

there is no where else you can take the series. Although I would have loved to see some episodes from Neo Tokyo, and more of Chibiusa's future.

Such a great show. I feel bad for this generation because most of the tripe that passes for kids' entertainment is embarrassing and demeaning for everyone involved, including the kids.djtiesto said:Eek! The Cat
