Mystery Inc. is in regular rotation, was it left out somehow? I agree, it's my fav SD series.
While the lad is showing signs of being an early bloomer (like both his parents), it hasn't happened yet and stuff like Clone High is being purposefully omitted for now. We watched a minute of S01E01 with him and we all agreed to save it for later. Wife said TDI is a 'not yet' for the same reason, though I haven't seen it myself yet. They're on the list, but not in rotation yet!
Thank you!! I can't believe how fruitful this post was. I also use animated shorts as interstitials between episodes, which I didn't mention yet. At some point I'll have to compile a list of my fav indie animators and ask the community what I might be missing. That's a bigger task though, because I don't keep a spreadsheet of those!
One thing I'm super proud of is his ability to handle subbed content. We saw a three-hour stage performance of Spirited Away in Japanese, and he read through the whole thing no problem. I'll definitely look into these, and I do think he's about ready for original Dragonball!
I did try a little Ren and Stimpy on him, I think I'm gonna wait a bit on that one - wife's advice. That said, you've mentioned a lot that nobody else has, and I can't believe I haven't shown him Doug yet!
One thing is for sure, I seriously need some gen 1 Transformers. My fav is still Transformers Prime, despite the janky CGI Blum's voice acting really does it for me.
I'll get some Patlabor and make an assessment before showing him, generally as long as there's a happy ending there's not much he can't handle.
Pirates of Dark Water and Family Dog look right up my street, thanks! How could I forget about Two Stupid Dogs?! We do already have Cow and Chicken, by my wife hates it lmao
It wasn't a commercial success because all the adverts were targeted at too young an audience. It should have been presented for what it is, which is goofy and random enough for kids and genuinely twisted enough for grownups.
You make some solid points, if I'm willing to tolerate the California Raisins he should at least see some of these. We'll do a retro theme one day and hit all of these, likely.
I'm def adding Thundercats, Talespin, and X-Men, but COPS is a hard no lmao. I didn't even know that existed though, that's hilarious. Is M.A.S.K. good or hilariously bad?
I was worried they wouldn't stand up, but if anything they're even better now that I'm old enough to really delight in how strange it is.
