In order for it to be a replacement, Johnny Test would have to die first...

Heh. I like the show, and that does sound like a plot they'd do.

I almost feel like googling to make sure you actually did make that plot up yourself. Seriously that plot fits the show's sense of humour so well I find it hard to believe they didn't do it already... pretty sad actually.

I thought you were recounting an actual episode! Damn you got this show's number. The comparison to McDonald's is actually kinda profound
I did it for the art.

I find this insulting to Johnny Test.

Johnny Test's New Replacement
When I thought there was going to be a new Teen Titans show, I was thrilled. Even if the premise was purely comedy, I was happy to see one of my favorite shows as a kid being reinterpreted to a new audience. Then I watched a few episodes and got more depressed with each subsequent viewing. I feel the best comparison for the show is the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Hannibal peels a man's face off and wears it as a mask. From afar it may seem secure and convincing but up close you can see the gristly details.
The show is ugly as sin. Many of the backgrounds lack detail and other parts are clearly penciled in. When action or emotion scenes are conveyed the background shifts to one of several pure colors for no reason. I advise you never to watch this show in the early morning AS PRACTICALLY EVERY CONVERSATION INVOLVES YELLING, BECAUSE THE WRITERS THINK LOUD IS FUNNY! As if to reinforce its connection to Johnny Test the music consists of generic repetitive guitar riffs. The action scenes are surprisingly few considering this is superhero show, but what few there are seem to consist of rapid fire jump cuts that even me with my ADD fueled brain would wish they slow down.
Writing comedy isn't very hard when you aren't trying for quality. I'm not a paid writer and I could easily write a whole season for this show. Beast Boy says his senses including eye sight are superior to Starfire's. Starfire gets angry, shooting eye beams at Beast Boy, hitting a mirror and blinding her. Beast Boy guides her around causing her to crash into every obstacle she comes across. Starfire gets a rocket planning to go to Tamaran because her blindness impairs her duties as a Titan. Beast Boy stops her but inadvertently causes the rocket to launch into the sun blowing it up and enshrouding everything in darkness. Everyone gets hit by traffic but Starfire because of her superior senses. It took me two minutes to think and write that outline and with another two thousand words I could write the plot and dialogue. Any person can take five characters, exaggerate their personalities, and put them in random situations and its even easier here since they were already created and drawn by a much better studio.
Cartoon Network loves this show because its cheap and easy. They can churn out a new episode every week with little effort. Its basically McDonald's, stale and repetitive
