Fantastic show. I feel sorry for you when you get to the end. That is all.

~Dysole, vaguely cryptic
I know how it ends, I have watched it all the way through. I do have a few more shows I'm gonna put them through eventually and this is just the start: (Avatar, Korra, Avengers EMH, Justice League, Gargoyles, Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Samurai Jack, Kids Next Door, Teen Titans and some other tv shows from my childhood, but it's a long list so this is the start.)
And I have literally 0 complaints with that list. (There's a few I haven't seen all of the episodes of all the shows but all of them are very solid).

~Dysole, really mad at the stupid reason YJ got cancelled
I do. People only like Invader Zim because of the show's dark color scheme, it's not actually funny. I have a feeling that Nightmare Before Christmas isn't good either because the same type of people like that too, but I'll check it out. Came from that early 2000's period where everything sucked. Kids Next Door was meh, Adventure Time and Regular Show blow it out of the water.

Kablam is the best classic Nickelodeon cartoon by the way. Ren and Stimpy is also an acceptable answer.

Courage pulls off the dark children's cartoon much better.

And while we're at it, Ed, Edd, and Eddy wasn't good either. It looked like crap and it was annoying to watch because it's just them getting cuckolded everytime, and the only likable character is the smart one, everyone else is either greedy, retarded, a douche, or some annoying tattletale, or rapist trailer park women.

Invader Zim and KND are actually the shows on his list that I have seen the least of. Both felt to me like solid shows with good moments but nothing spectacular although I think Zim is probably the better show. Nightmare Before Christmas is a quite enjoyable flick but it might be a bit overhyped.

Adventure Time is one of the smartest kids shows on television. I have watched some of Regular Show and it isn't bad but it just doesn't grab me (also I think it might be because Rigby annoys the crud out of me and Mordecai isn't too much better). They're infinitely smarter than most of kids programming on today. (Really with Avatar finished the only solid kids shows left I can think of are both Disney products in Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls)

Can't speak to classic Nick since I've only seen a little bit of it.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy was all right. I never quite enjoyed it but when it was on I didn't actively hate it like some shows I've seen (*cough* Spongebob *cough* Teen Titans Go! *cough*).

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Just watched the last quarter of Legend of Korra Book 4 on nick.com. A fine finish for a whole lot of characters, one going back to the original Avatar series. The creators have signed with another company for future projects, and people are expecting great things from them.

I personally do like Invader Zim (after all, why would I put it on the list ), to me it has funny characters (Gir, Professor Membrane, Dib, etc.). To me the opposite is true for Regular Show, Adventure Time, and Kids Next Door. I watched about ten episodes for Regular Show and Adventure Time each, thinking surely this gets good with as much as people talk about it, and found it just as stupid (in my opinion, as shows like Chowder, Uncle Grandpa, etc.). Kids Next Door, I find funny, and my siblings share my sense of humor. I dunno, just my opinion, maybe I got dropped on my head too much as a kid and my sense of humor got messed up.

This. 100% this. I wish Korra hadn't been jerked around so much by Nick but I am very happy with the finished product.

Regular Show isn't really my type of humor. Adventure Time is. However, for me the big thing about Adventure Time (and this might be why you don't see it) is that the more you find out about the world the more amazing the show gets. I honestly thought it was just an okay wacky random show with some cool moments until about the middle of Season/end of Season 4 (there was an episode that I almost cried in the middle of) and then after that the show has probably been better storywise than anything on television not named Avatar (and certainly better than Korra's Season 2 plot). Adventure Time is harder to get into but it is amazing when you do.

Short answer for me. I liked it and will go into more details in PM if anyone wants to know more of my opinion.

Barring further expansion in a comic book which wouldn't surprise me.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Yeah, I can't watch that part where Finn goes into the fetal position, starts crying, and asks, "Why can't I just love a girl?". I fell in love with my best friend and I was making plans to go see her. She told me she had breast cancer and it wrecked me, last winter it was so cold that my tears turned to slush on my face while doing my mail route. She was actually addicted to heroin and didn't want me to see her like that. At the time I wasn't mad at her because heroin addiction isn't much different than cancer.

Eventually a few months after she got out of jail she asked me why the Netflix account I shared with her was out. I said because I don't watch Netflix anymore. She complained again and I said, " Why don't you get your boyfriend to get you Netflix?" and then we got in a fight.

After ignoring her for a few weeks or months we started talking again. But she doesn't get that she can't say things like, "I love you (best friend)", or "I want to grow old with you" if she wants me to stop viewing her as a potential partner.

So now I just go around assuming I'll never find anyone as good as her, and that since I'll never have her I'll never be happy. I know that sounds stupid given how miserable she made my past year, but the reason why I couldn't just stop caring about her is because every moment I was with her was so good and perfect, the best times of my life.

Re: TV: What Are You Watching?

Saw Gallavant, a medieval comedy satire on Ch. 7 last night. They played the first two half hour episodes; there will be more. It was pretty silly, but had a few good moments. They also sang!

Way back in the Sixties, in the heyday of Broadway musical comedies, a musical comedy TV series was attempted, with a couple of new songs each episode! It was a contemporary story of two people falling in love and getting married. The star was Robert Morse, who had played the lead in 1961's How To Be Successful In Business Without Really Trying --both the play and the movie--one of the big shows of that time. The TV show didn't stay on very long, but it was one of the first (if not the first) noble attempts at an early 'media crossover,' which today is so commonplace. Wikipedia tells me it was called That's Life, and was aired in 1968. (Morse has also appeared more recently in Mad Men.)

Just out of curiosity did you watch the first 10 episodes of Regular Show from season 1? I love the show, but those ones are weak. There are only a couple episodes from the first season that I really like.
