Dennis the menace - General

I've been watching a fair few episodes on the iplayer of dennis the menace and i have to say.. THE OLD SERIES WAS BETTER I was used to the previous style due to reading the beano comics every week --- Do not like the new #pussy' character they use nowadays [quote]It was reported on the 12th of August 2009 that Dennis the Menace would be retooled for a new animated series on CBBC. Reports first published in The Sun claimed that Dennis would no longer carry his water pistol, pea shooter or catapult; his trademark frown would be replaced with a grin; he would no longer bully Walter the softie; and his dog Gnasher would no longer bite people.[1][3][2] Initially these changes were denied by cartoonist Lew Stringer who described them as "another 'political correctness gone mad' myth embellished by the media".[4] However, Beano editor Alan Digby later confirmed that the substance of these claims was true. Due to the rules of broadcasting Dennis would have to become more "creative" in his mischief due to the fact that he was no longer allowed to fire his pea shooter at anyone.

I loved how the parents were actually named "Mum" and "Dad" :3:

This reminds me, I have (or had) hundreds of beanos somewhere Good old english comics

The new show damaged my childhood. Whoever changed it [B]that[/B] much should be fired. One or two changes would be okay, but its stupid what they done.

I never saw the original show. But I loved the movie. He was such an asshole to their nextdoor neighbor. :v:

I remember when I was younger we had a neighbor named Dennis, and he was mentally troubled due to the Vietnam War and caused trouble in the neighborhood all the time. We called him Dennis the Menace.

When the hell did Dennis go emo? Edit: Oh, never mind. I didn't know there was another cartoon with the same name O_o

whoever changed the show completely needs to be punched in the face hard

Why did they change such huge parts of the series :smith:

I saw one of the new ones the other week, he sounds like a girl now.

I read a book full of the older daily comics which are pretty good. The Sunday comics they make are awful though, much like everything else on the "funny" pages.

God damnit my name is Dennis. Why. WHY,
