Imaginary Saturday Morning Cartoon Ideas

You know what would be bizzarrely awesome? A saturday morning cartoon where animated versions of Mrs. Frizzle, Willy Wonka, and Dr. Frank N. Furter have adventures as a Power Trio. Every week's episode would have two segments-the main episode, where they have some sort of adventure doing something, and the review, where they review a movie together while interacting with animated versions of the movie's characters.

A cartoon following the adventures of a delivery service worker, during the combination of invasion by sea monsters, robotic rebellion and the sudden emergence of mobile man eating plant creatures. He drives a UPS transforming tank and his wife is part of an armored police squadrant. His rival works for Fed Ex. edit It'll be titled Come Rain Or Snow.

That sounds incredibly awesome!

Don't got no ideas now, but I know will later!

Dude, I would watch that!

A cartoon that features a cartoon character as a Super Hero (no, not a Cartoon Superhero, I mean a normal Roger Rabbit Effect cartoon character who was pulled out of Toon Town and became a super hero). His powers would be the normal traits of a CC ie Invincibility, Stretching Abilities, Voluntary Shapeshifting, ability to command a vicious beast that goes by the pet name of "Ruffles". And his only weapon would be an infinitely spacious Bag of Holding.

How many arrows up was that supposed to be?

One. Most cartoons are pretty random anyways, so Shota's "Don't got no ideas" sounds like one of the best concepts for an animated show.

A Venture Bros. Spinoff

Well sure, if you wanna be realistic. :P

You've got to understand, this isn't fantasy-land imagination, this is the real world of imagination!

Actually, another idea: A show based on Risk Factions, but with the same level of violence as the game.

Holy crap, a friend of mine is helping me get the OP idea off the ground (albeit as a series of fake "considered scripts" rather than an actual cartoon)

Rocky Horror: The Series

Frank is just flamboyant now, rather than a rapist. There is no sex whatsoever. He's a kid in the series, and is friends with kid versions of Brad, Janet, Columbia, Eddie, Riff-Raff, Magenta, and their pet dog, The Old Queen (a red dog who's head is just a giant pair of lips).

Like a watered-down Little Shop of Horrors!

Oh wait, that's been done.

A Danny Phantom spin-off starring Danny's kids. We'd get to see most of the characters from the original as they live in Amity Park, but with a few new villians as well. Maybe an episode involving Dark Danny/Dan where the kids go behind Danny's back to try to defeat him because Danny claims he can do it himself and doesn't want them getting hurt.

Circa 1974 : Mary's Major Mysteries - Mary Richards and the gang from WJM are college-age journalism students in a traveling university bus driven and taught by Professor Lou Grant while they solve mysteries in the towns their lesson plan takes them to. Only Ted Knight reprised his voice for the series. Valerie Harper objected to Rhoda being like Alexandra from Josie.

Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl from the Simpsons.

Hell yes. I would watch the hell out of that!

So I was talking with a friend about how to make Mickey return to a bigger audience and make Oswald more popular besides the efforts made in Epic Mickey. So then it hit me:

Put Mickey and Oswald as brothers in a cartoon sitcom-like show, give them a little edge without making them jerks and non-disney, and hire the creators of Phineas and Ferb to direct the project. EPIC WIN!

The Life and Time of Norton I. A fictionalized and heavily embellished tale of one of the most Crazy Awesome people to ever live.

Also Dead Like Me, but with Shoulder Angels and Devils.

^^Interesting. Or alternitivly, Disney can make some new Oswald the Luckey Rabbit shorts.

They should totally make an Oswald short in old timey style and release it in front of a feature film!

Or better: donate millions of dollars into an archeological expedition: the search for the lost Oswald cartoons.

And play one of the ORIGINAL Oswald shorts in front of a movie. That'd be neat.

A really cheesy adventure show with uncalled for Aesops coming out of nowhere, or doesn't fit. For example, the characters could be finding a diamond in a cave only to be chased by diamond thieves. A dinosaur comes along and eats the thieves. The heroes deduce that it's bad to call your siblings names.

A proper end to an abruptly canceled show *Samurai Jack* would be nice but, really the kids deserve to have original material.

A time travel show about world just like our own, only all the people are humanoid beans, instead of human beings, which is needed because the main character is a fugitive aiming to rip apart the very concept of time itself and starts experimenting by killing historical figures to see what effect their absence has on the future. Beans don't bleed you see, so we can have all the chaotic, dramatic, tear jerking violence such a premise would allow and still keep it kid friendly like in Samurai Jack or Transformers.

The show would have a sorting algorithm of good, as first his victims fight and fail to defend themselves, being totally unprepared against his future weaponry, averting the dumb Rock Beats Laser. No kids, never throw a log at a tank, I don't care what Star Wars told you. As the future that's not totally gone realizes what is happening, proper police and soldiers are sent back in time to stop him, thus his fights get harder, but he perseveres, evading and eventually defeating all who oppose him.

As time and the universe itself start to become irreversibly damaged, more mystical Sealed Good in a Can type guardian spirits arrive to try and put things back in balance. The protagonist's actions broke their seals but by now its too late, he's become too powerful and slowly but surely he kills them off. Time is completely twisted, but before it is completely ripped to shreds the will of the Universe lashes out against the protagonist, the universe wants to keep going. The Universe loses, the end.

Too many people use their talents and skills to cause harm and that will likely destroy us all in future, unless it stops with your generation. That will be the Aesop I'd want the kids to walk away with.

Nice topic, something right for me.

I have many ideas

For example:

Series about alien invader who allways srew up mission or have bad luck on them, he is not Zim Expy , he's more competent and less insane. Command give him last chance and send on less important planet called Dirt, I mean Earth :D But some thing go wrong and Masquerade was broken in pilot but quick thinking safe his true motives as invader , he simply start pretending to be alien super hero and start ifiltration in that identity. So show would be mix between Invader Zim and My Life As A Teenage Robo , main character acompanioned by some other aliens (who are support in his mision) who also take super hero identity. He's more like Punch-Clock Villain or My Country, Right or Wrong who try his best in role of alien infiltrator and role of super hero on Earth
