More interviews from the creators (which I couldn't post before because TV Tropes wouldn't allow me).

Bump

I've been watching some of the new episodes aired on Saturdays and it's really a decent time-wasting. Some amusing facial expressions and animation like I've mentioned before. Despite the times of annoyance, I think it's safe to say that this is an..Alright show. My younger siblings also enjoyed the show when they watch it once and while.

This cartoon probably won't get as big as the cn shows.

P.s. I heard this show has some animators who worked on Rocko. That's pretty cool.

Sure, I'll keep watching it, but I'm still waiting however many weeks it takes for the official site's free episode to cycle around to a new one so I don't tempt the wrath of Viacom.

People have been uploading all the episodes on You Tube shockingly o.O

Speaking of Rocko, the creator of this show apparently took animation classes from Joe Murray.

I wonder if he's proud of what his student has become? If he is, well, I know some people won't be happy...

Definitely. With the backlash this show receives daily, I too wonder what Murray thinks. Considering that he created two shows that are generally well received by everyone..

Well, everyone hated Camp Lazlo when it was out.

Some people might even change their opinion of Rockos Modern Life if that ever happens. I can't wait for people to start saying that Rocko "hasn't aged well" and is "filled with mean-spirited, gross out humor."

Of course, people who hated the Nicktoons of the late 90s and early 2000s probably don't want to acknowledge that Joe Murray is friends with Peter Hannan. (This I know is true. He said it on Reddit.) So history repeats itself?

People consider Camp Lalzo apart of CN's "golden age" now

if this was to ever happen to Rocko, I imagine people also criticizing the innuendos and sex jokes.

So.. pretty much. Yesterday's trash is Today's treasure! Or the other way around.

Yep, they'll criticize the sex jokes and ignore the sex jokes on, say, Animaniacs...

There are some things everybody always knows are good.

There are some things that are unjustly viewed as trash, and it takes a while for it to be seen as good.

There are some things that are and always have been trash.

(Technically that doesn't work the other way around.)

Well, It kinda does. Cat Dog had positive reception when it originally aired, but seems to be considered the first bad nicktoon nowadays.

Same can be said for Cow and Chicken..sorta. Though I don't know what people thought about it in the beginning, it's rare to see people praise it without nostalgia.

No, in fact it's the other way around; Cat Dog wasn't well liked among the TV Tropes equivalents of yesterday and neither was Cow And Chicken.

There were lots of legitimate fans and the general public liked them, and they have better reputations today even, but in the grand scheme of things they just don't matter.

Really?? People really see Camp Lazlo as the Golden Age now?? When did that come out? 5 years ago? Get a grip, kids!

9, actually. How time flies...

9? Well that's a bit more, and nearly a decade, but that's still a short time ago when looking at network history!

I've watched a lot of recent episodes as well. I Really nothing against it, but it's hard to enjoy a series that relies heavily on "brotastic" subjects every 12 seconds. But it's still a step higher than Rabbids.

Yeah. All the rapping and slang irritates me, but everything else is okay.

I hope I don't end up being the only poster who posts in here a lot lol

I just watched the Halloween special. Pretty good. A lot better than most episodes even. Still has the annoying slang and etc, but was nice nonetheless.

It's also did a decent job at stretching out their typically 11 minute format to a half hour (or 22 min)

I like that special a lot. It's in the top five if you ask me.

Agree. It was easily the most entertaining and amusing episode. I think even people who dislike the cartoon may like it.

I watched it too, but only small clipets. I say they want to try, but are still mixed with Totally Radical and Trying Too Hard.

Same here, I watched the zombie episode (which I assume is the Halloween Special) and while it was okay initially (I actually was amused by how the zombies chased the 2 main protagonists by bundling up into a minecart, reminded me abit of El Tigre's brand of humour...) but the thriller gag annoyed the hell out of me due to how predictable it was. The 2 main guys also still get on my nerves at certain points usually due to the unnecessary emphasis on slang but then again I was never in to that.....

Um, slang, sure, as I was saying before, you can't just make up any meaning for the word "bap"!

But now my favorite saying is "YEAHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYYY"

I admit that's probably the best "catchphrase". I can imagine people saying it irl.

The thriller gag was a bit cute, I like the faces that were made during the beginning of the dance

And, i don't know why, but I'm going to try and keep up with the news for this cartoon. I.e air dates and such. Same with Sanjay and Craig.

Speaking of which, The S&C Special was way more weirder than Regular Show 's Creepy tales. Not scarry, but weird as fuck.

agree. Very strange episode.

If anyone cares, there won't be new episodes for Breadwinners and S&C this coming Saturday for a obvious reason. We'll have to wait til Nov 1 for both.
