[QUOTE=Warriorx4;49503812]Jesus christ what's with the negativity surrounding the show in here?
Can you actually say what was wrong with it or what?[/QUOTE]
i mean, as told by ginger was literally the most generic teenage high school drama, with the only distinction of being animated
carl and hoodsey were the only redeemable qualities the show had
Not to mention that it was just arse to look at

^See I wouldn't know that I never watched high school dramas, but there's a large difference between "generic" and "awful;" something can have qualities of both, but not once when watching the show did I ever go "wow this is crap."
Carl and Hoodsey were cool as fuck yeah, and not just for their stupid antics.

I dunno I saw Pelswick and Salad Fingers for a while and after you watch something like that everything else comes easy.
Why can't they bring back Doug or Hey Arnold?

i mean, it's not a low-quality tv show, it's just the most bland classic nicktoon out there

besides doug, but that's a Controversial Opinion™ of mine

Pelswick was literally drawn by a quadriplegic guy so I can forgive the artstyle of it

See I really like Doug and Ginger, wouldn't mind if they brought 'em both back to be honest. They were far, far more honest in their telling of the shenanigans of junior high life than any live action equivalent ala Ned's Declassified Shit. Guess we'll agree to disagree.

And we'll agree to disagree here as well I guess.
I'd rather have the Wild Thornberrys or CatDog return. I can barely even remember As Told By Ginger.

if you're into school shenanigans stuff then doug and ginger are just fine
my favorite was always arnold, because it's less school shananigans (a lot, but not a majority), and more urban street shenanigans and jazz

Disney Doug is an abomination not fit for dogs.

As Told By Ginger aka the show that made me switch channels to Cartoon Network as a kid.
[QUOTE=Fangz;49503693]Disney actually owns the rights to Doug now.[/QUOTE]
That was a long time ago, they haven't aired it on Disney XD, so I'm pretty sure Doug's rights are probably in limbo.

Don't get me started on Hey Arnold fat boy I'll roll you downtown.
I remember the episode where the mean girl was going to pull the bikini top off of the popular but nice girl at her pool party when they were playing chicken, but then ginger foiled the plot.
I felt really fucking disappointed

Also this promo for season 2 of Teen Titans disappointed me because at no point in season 2 did starfire take her top off

A generic teen show with a lousy art style that got a cold reception is getting rebooted. Why.

That's not her top dude. I remember that episode, that's a backpack she has because she was gonna go and leave the titans. Robin comes, explains things, and she drops her bag.

I'm not going to lie.
So did I.
Out of every Nicktoon to bring back. They pick As Told By Ginger? Do they not know what their more popular Nicktoons were?
The Klasky Csupo art style reminds me of Psychonauts, in that it's extremely unnerving and uncomfortable.
Hey, atleast they didn't revive Rocket Power. Imagine how cringy/terrible Rocket Power would be in modern times.

That definitely is not the spirit.

Rocket power is the kind of cringe where it's trying to be funny and rad and it comes off as cringy.
Ginger was written to be cringy high school teenage drama on purpose.
Not sayin' rocket power was good at all, but it at least wasn't designed to make you feel bad for the characters.

that emote is a blast from the past
To be honest i've seen more of Rocket Power than ATBG. So out of curiosity, how bad was the show :pudge:?
Can't believe anyone could defend this show coming back.
Just can't believe it...

it wasn't bad per se, it was just really boring and uninteresting compared to the rest of nick's lineup at the time

Oh so the current Nickelodeon line up?
It all makes sense now.
