Ever seen a cartoon where you kinda dislike it but you can't just flat-out say you hate it? This is a thread for discussing those. For me one of those definitely has to be The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. I know it was stupid as heck and made absolutely no sense, but I loved it way too much as a younger kid for me to say I hate it. sad I still have alot of fond memories of that show even if it was stupid.

The Looney Tunes Show. I don't like how boring it is as a generic sitcom that turns Bugs Freakin' Bunny into a surly straight man, but I can see just enough elements of the classic humor to give me some hope for the next seasons.

This happens to you with any show you have ever worked on! It's compulsory to back up your own cred anyway.

I'll throw Kick Buttowski out there. This, I'm sure, is something that is easy to push hate on, despite ANY positive moments it has in it...

Johnny Test. I was an avid fan of it from the moment it started airing on CN and I've only recently noticed its many flaws, but you couldn't pay me to hate it.

The Wacky World Of Tex Avery, fullstop. But I must say a lot of my enjoyment of it came from the excellent Mexican dub.

The Amazing World Of Gumball I just love how cute Gumball looks and it probably is a well written and enjoyable show...but the grotesque Live action stuff is offputting.

[up]By stuff, I assume you mean the backgrounds. No live-action actors are featured in the show at all. The backgrounds aren't even filmed- they're just still image files Photoshopped in some way.

[up][up] Ok, not "Live Action". But there is this "teacher" that is...something, done in a blend of Live Action.

The only character I can think of isn't a teacher, but one of the students. The "chin-face" one. And she's got like...less than a minute of screentime total.

[up][up]The teacher is in CG. Who, by the way, is one of my favorite characters, just by the way she's designed.

I may be stingent about the live-action thing. I get very picky when it comes to film terms.

[up]Chin face is too "Chowder" and does not belong. The whole dumb dad bit has been done to death though from the Simpsons, The family guy, to South Park. Give it a rest Gumball

I'm seconding The Problem Solvers. I do see the problems that everyone has with it, but the writing is passable.

I'd also like to put Jimmy Two-Shoes out there. I like the show, but I do acknowledge all of its stupidity and erroneous results due to it being stupid.

Guys, keep it on topic and don't try to derail this into a discussion about The Amazing World of Gumball's animation style, ok? ~OP

[up]It's okay to bump this, right? I have something.

The New Pound Puppies series. Though I actually enjoy its simplicitiy and sense of both intelligence/effort more than the "original" series for the 60's (What a piece of shit that was).

Though I do know if the writing and stories involved were more up to snuff, people wouldn't treat it like Fi M's retarded couisins, as I've heard it called in some places. It's just too simple. But I do see it breaking away from the concept it started out with which made it seem boring.

So, yeah, it's a good start, meaning I'm enjoying something people openly hate and I don't truly see why. One person on Toonzone did point out one good reason- It feels like a Recess clone at worst when the whole "adopt a puppy" plot(s) don't get in the way.

Yeah it's by the same creators of Recess. I like the protagonists and sometimes the stories are amusing. But I can't bring myself to watch it because the Flash animation is so mediocre. I think MLP:FiM really spoiled us.
