When I first saw the commercial this morning, I was like, "Aw, sweet! Ben 10 is back!" But then the exposition and title appeared. And then I was like, "Please be better than TTG. Please be better than TTG..."

TS;CR: An pair of aliens grants an quartet of middle-schoolers superpowers to fight an interplanetary virus...What's with the show's title, you ask? Well, the kids barely have any idea how to control their powers, so one of the aliens calls them "Supernoobs."

...It airs next Monday on CN.

The name alone worries me. I rarely if ever hear anyone say the word "noob" anymore.

I don't really have high hopes. I hadn't heard of this show till now and it's a Canadian cartoon getting exported to CN. At most it'll probably just be So very OK that it's forgettable(Like a lot of Canadian cartoon exports to CN)

I'm worried I'm getting a Johnny Test-ish vibe from this. Wh knows maybe it'll be good. Or at least meh-worthy.

We can only hope this cuts off one or two showings of TTG a day. I leave CN on as background noise most of the time but I've noticed they show TTG at least 6 times a day when not on Adult Swim hours.

Don't get me wrong, I hate TTG as much as the next person and I'm well aware of Johnny Test, but how can this show be worse than the aforementioned cartoons?

I doubt it will be as bad or as hated as though shows.

It'll probably end up like Sidekicks or Scardey Squirrel, a cartoon a few people liked and a few people hated, but at the end of the day it's usually seen as mediocre, not worth talking about, and/or forgotten about.

[up] ... And you took the words right out of my mouth - but how will people react if it goes on for more than 1 season, likely because the kids might fall in love with it? Emphasis on "might", as in it does do well in ratings to justify keeping it on (despite the premiere time and likely maltreatment by CN of it.)?

I doubt their will be enough kids to keep this show running for even another season. Either they just won't care/like it or they'll never really know about it.

IFF (If and only if) kids hated Johnny Test enough... I think you're right and we can feel safer knowing something like this will never challenge the actually good shows on CN right now.

This doesn't look capable of doing so at all to me.

The show's airing in Cartoon Network Uk and so far has an So Okay, It's Average reception.

Also, prepare for some Idiosyncratic Episode Naming with the word "Noob".

That idea sounds fun but the trailer looks dumb. I'll give a more informed opinion after I see an actual episode.

Did Cartoon Network not do a countdown for this show? That's a worrying sign, if not.

Well, that was a little better than I thought it would be. It had a few funny jokes. I'm not sure it's a show with much longevity to it though.

I'm hoping for some Mistaken for Gay gags with the aliens, since they're disguised as two humans living together.

So, it's not too bad... Just average (despite that animation / art design leaving a lot to be desired...). *Sigh* Got it. I want to watch this for myself, but I'm just not convinced I should. *Sigh*

EDIT: Okay, I've (JUST NOW) seen one full episode (2 segments total) so far, and... Yeah. Not as bad as Johnny Test - but still lacking what it truly takes to be good, in my opinion. Not to mention, it has a lot of people attached to it who have written some really bad Canadian fare that only encourages my negative attitude towards this. *Sigh*

Watched Episode 2, and it's still going strong with its blandness.

So I've watched today's episode, and it turns out to be somewhat entertaining and interesting at times, but it ultimately is average as far as the plot goes.

So did CN cancel this show or what? Because one month it was on an regular schedule. But now, it feels that it went the way of the dodo.

I heard the show was canned with only one season in.

Which given the creator of the show, doesn't surprise me much... :v

has a clue, but it's usually not the correct one 0.55% of the time
