Just found out that CN's experimental CN/[as] bridge block could start in September, probably as soon as Labor Day. At least for 2 of those shows, Mad and the Regular Show. Don't know about the other 2 (Robotomy/Horrorbots and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome/Uncle Grandpa) yet, but hopefully they're airing soon as well.Here's the trailer/behind the scenes look at MAD.http://www.thewb.com/shows/comic-con/mad-the-magazine-to-the-screen/fb9d9085-6aef-430c-9b00-1f151cab9213And in case you missed it, the Cartoonstitute pilots for Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DYOs1KdD3FQg&ei=xThTTKqNLoGKlwf4uZVu&usg=AFQjCNGIsPC5XctK79Hnv4NW0vod0q--iAhttp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-LvIG7MDSys&ei=1DhTTIWhHYGClAeW8eFt&usg=AFQjCNHOxlfM8cj_hZhxZLeD-HOAuIR9wAAlso there's some layout art for Robotomy, from the people behind Superjail and the studio behind Venture Bros.http://www.wleaders.com/blog/?p=163http://www.wleaders.com/blog/?p=174
>>82561>They still play Hero 108, and My Gym Partner is a Fucktard most of the time.By most of the time you mean only on the death slots. As for the other 2, haven't heard shit about Test getting a new season, but brace yourself for more seasons of the Garfeild Show, including a rumored US Acres crossover episode.Anyway, here's a promo for the new MAD show.
>>83443>By most of the time you mean only on the death slots.Slots that where once filled with Looney Tunes.What happened with that anyway? They said they where bringing it back but it just disappeared again without so much as a wimpier from anyone.
Just a heads up, both shows(Regular Show/MAD) premiere tonight after Adventure Time.
I...I...buh...
Regular Show.God tier show or GOD TIEREST SHOW
So is regular show always going to be in 15 minute installments?
>>90296The premieres will be. When they get enough episodes in the rotation, the reruns will soon probably be in 30 min chunks.
>>90287NEITHER!!EPICALLY GODMOST-TASTICALLY TIERIEST OF TEIRSAlso, my 42-year-old brother in law LOVES the new MAD cartoon(I don't blame him; I do too).
any download?
>>90398http://www.mediafire.com/?bbarufcbv8ku915
>>90404awesome
How did they get away with that?
It's kind of like what I imagined a Nedroid animated series would be like...
>>90404Hmmm, it's not working for me.
>>90408they covered it up with a poster
Watched the premiere ep, and I must say, it isn't very funny
>>90444Yeah, not working for me either. Is it hosted anywhere else?
>>90556Youtube to the rescue.
>>90562
Twenty-three??
>>90563alright who gave them a cartoon?
>>90563Didn't laugh once>>90562I already wish I had more of this.
>>90609>>Didn't laugh onceYou're trying too hard to be cool.
MAD> regular show
>>90563Okay that is on a little tooo early. wonder what genius though "Adult Swim lite" was a good idea, there was a reason Adult Swim was moved to 10 in the first place.
>>90627>>90634Did it improve after the Avatar parody? Because I watched that up to the love interest's introduction before I decided it wasn't worth continuing.
>>90642The classic stuff is okay but overall its still a little too much for kids and I think would endanger the other shows in the time slot...which might be the plan.
>>90641I recall hearing that Regular show was supposed to be a sort of midway point between regular Cartoon network and Adult Swim, so maybe MAD is in the same boat too.
>>90627Ok, I will admit that the Spy vs. Spy segment was alright at best. But other than that the rest of it was trash. All it really was, was fart jokes and toilet humor. Yes Regular Show follows the tired lol-so-random cliche, and I am getting a bit put off by these types of shows after Flapjack and Adventure Time, but I must admit the show pulls it off well. I do however hope CN can pull off a show with a progressing story (I secretly hope Adventure Time will evolve into this in the vein of Venture Bros.) in the near future. The last one we had was Avatar, and just think what more it could have done as an [as]-lite show.
>>90655Excluding the original short, Adventure Time's method of operation seems to be creating an absurd setting with absurd characters and then using them for relatively coherent stories. Regular Show is more based around random events, though its "show about nothing" theme supports that.
holy shit that mad cartoon was so badlike the worst thing ive ever seeni cannot believehow bad it waswhat were they een thinking
>>90655I think the closest thing to a ongoing story that cartoon network has at the moment is Mystery Inc.I still liked MAD. But then again, I have no taste. It seemed like a Robot Chicken for kids, but with more varied animation styles beyond just stop motion dolls. I also liked how it used the styles of the actual magazine. I hope to see more references to the mag, like a Monroe skit.
>>90609>>90634>>90642>>90666>>90668Well, if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that everyone has their own tastes. If you like MAD, by all means enjoy it to your hearts content. I'm not gonna yell at you for liking something I don't, but it is just not my cuppatea, and I would promptly disregard any suggestions you made for TV, movies, music, etc. if I knew you IRL.I will enjoy Adventure Time and Regular Show, and will check out the new Scooby Doo as the last anon suggested.I hope it will not disappoint.
Personally, I thought the MAD cartoon was alright. I didn't enjoy it as much as the Regular Show, but that's a tough act to follow. It's very watchable, in my opinion. Of course, I'm also a big fan of Robot Chicken and Saturday Night Live, so I can see how people who don't like that kind of "sketch" comedy and are looking for cartoon with an overarching story line would be turned off.
>>90732It reminds me of a show Teletoon had called Punch.
>>90796Now that you mention it yeah it kinda reminds me of that too.
>>90796I thought it was sort of half Punch, half Dunce Bucket and half Wonder Showzen.
So regular /co/ is getting mad over Mad this week because of this.
>>94195I chortled.Mad is stupid funny in the most delightfully awkward way.
>>94195How mad are they getting?Is there capslock?
>>94244Nevermind, i just watched it.I completely understand their anger.
>>90916Thinking about it, is it more like The Wrong Coast?
>>94249What's there to be angry about? It was funny. I didn't hear /co/ rage when AT mentioned Caturday. Then again, /co/'s mouth is firmly planted on Pen's dick.
>>94195I liked it better when Clerks did it.
>>94477That could be because Adventure Time provides them with consistent, stable entertainment. This show seems to have its ups and downs, and because it's broken into small segments, people will be more critical of one part and how it affects the whole rather than one joke for a 15 minute segment. For Mad, the joke IS the show due to its length. Same with Robot Chicken.
>>94477I'm not mad because they mentioned memes.I'm mad because it wasn't funny.
>>94613>>Doesn't realize that Mad the cartoon is more like Mad Magazine than Mad TV ever was (both humor, styles, & formatting of humor).>>Probably has never read an issue of Mad Magazine... probably.
>>94195Wow, that's lame. Is there a single joke there that wasn't considered old five years ago?
>>94663I have never even touched an issue of Mad, but even I can tell it derives from it.
>>94663 You don't get it, i like the show. I just thought the "Gray's in Anime" skit was awful.
