Nickelodeon Reviving another Nicktoon - As Told By Ginger
115 replies, posted
I'm pretty impartial to this show as I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but then again I remember every other Nicktoon there was pretty well besides this one, so I guess that says something. I really couldn't tell you anything about it actually, not without Google anyways. Only the finishing line of the theme song.
They should have picked any other show to revive, no doubt.
They're reviving this but not Invader Zim.
Let that sink in.

They can't if they wanted to. IIRC the creator said he would not work with Nickelodeon again.

I don't blame him.

Zim's already returned, just as a comic rather than an animated series.

Doesn't stop Nickelodeon from milking the shit out of it in merchandising.

That already looks ten times better. Now she doesn't look like some bizarre squid-person.
Nick again pandering to the 90's / early 2000's Nicktoons crowd only for them to screw up at the last moment by picking one that is arguably the least favorable of them all.
I think we can all agree that Nick doesn't make well-thought-out decisions at times.

A modern cartoon cant get away with even a quarter of the shit that Ren and Stimpy or Rocko got away with.

they look like the kind of drawings a kid who bites people would make[/QUOTE]
The worst thing is that like half the reason why the characters look bad could be fixed by just raising the mouths off the bottom of their fucking chins. Like Christ, the one on the right looks like its a cross between Rugrats and a Real Monsters character

Does anyone know anything about Moviepilot? Like, who can post news there?
Because they also did stories on Kim Possible and Recess coming back, and I'm starting to suspect it's this guy who keeps going on /co/ ranting and raving about Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney reviving old shows and working together to animate this guy's fanfic.
This guy.

I've literally never heard of this, not even a single person mentioning it's existence. And this was during my prime cartoon watching years apparently.
Swing and a miss, nick.

I never really understood why, of all the KaBlam! skits to become it's own show, it was Angela Anaconda that ended up getting it's own show (although Action League Now! Got a shortlived show of it's own).
Sniz & Fondue, Prometheus & Bob, Life with Penelope and The Off-Beats were all way better.
Sniz & Fondue actually was almost it's own cartoon, but Nickelodeon chose in 1993 between it and Rocko's Modern Life, resulting in it only getting revived as a short skit segment for KaBlam.

Wait, really? Angela Anaconda was originally a skit on KaBlam? Huh, that's pretty interesting. I always though that it was just some show that was randomly pitched to Nickelodeon, and they just decided "...ehh, why the hell not". Though in my case it could also be because I never actually knew KaBlam was a thing until the Nostalgia Critic where he brought it up during one of his old reviews, because last time I checked, KaBlam never actually aired on any Canadian channels.
After seeing the images from this I just went and looked up the opening song. I literally saw this show like once and the opening stuck in my head and never went away, but I could never figure out what show it was from. I recognized the art and thought that this could be the show, and when I searched it up it was.
Honestly, "Someone once told me the grass was much greener, on the other side" as sung by that lady has been stuck in my head for the better part of a decade and I could never remember the source. Now I know.
If this show is so bad, then why did it win "Best Cartoon" at the Nickelodeon Netherlands Kids Choice Awards in 2005? I rest my case.

Because the Netherlands only have one cartoon.

You could give me a show about Tito doing fucking nothing and I'd watch it.
Tito is my spirit animal.
