You're a brave and awesome lad for sharing this with us...
Fortune Kooky: I bet this episode will be hit with a lot of Negative Continuity, as in, we'll never hear of the fortune, the butler or the brick ever again. (I particularly hated the latter.) Otherwise, just an OK episode.
Black is the New Pink: I was hoping that this would be the return of She-Zap, but no. Still, it was a nice Take That! to "taking comic books seriously" eg. calling them 'graphic novels' and making heroes "darker". Also the Koala Batman homage was fun. I guess this episode confirms the show takes place in Australia? Since they didn't have to travel far to find the koalas and wombats.

This... Indefinitely. Despite those hiccups, this show continues to grow on me (for now, anyway...).
The show *IS* funny. It's just that sometimes they overplay the jokes (the episode where Max becomes more popular than Shezow is the best example; they beat that joke to the ground) and oh yeah the puns, though there seemed to be fewer in the later episodes. My favorite parts are when they parody specific superhero cliches (like going all "grim and gritty".) And Max's always reinventing his identity keeps him from being boring.
Can't agree more - I just wish I had more to say, this show, while not spectacular overall, is good watchin' (so far)!

Thanks again!
S.I.C.K. Day: This seems like the introduction of Megamonkey (who is so obviously not ripped off from Mojo Jojo
) so I guess the episodes are not airing in order? Also, nice to finally see Guy do something to make his dad feel better over being overshadowed by Shezow.
Stuck Up: This episode was almost painful to watch. Guy may be a little vain, but not to the point of being a jerk, and he's been doing his job as a hero well enough, I don't think he deserved a full episode just to humiliate him about it! That his sister (Kelly?) took the opportunity to enslave him only made things worse. Another example of how the show can ruin a joke by taking it too far.
Say, should we work on an episode guide for the series?

Have to agree. The first segment of this latest episode was pretty good. The second segment, unfortunately, is an example of how there are times I find myself questing whether I should drop this show or not, due to how unfunny it came off as properly viewed AND in hindsight, due to its heavy-handed execution of what should've been a one-and-done joke. OH, and its ending resolved little-to-nothing (Here We Go Again! Endings are rarely ever funny, espeically unless they're done by classics like Looney Tunes or Tomand Jerry)!

This is where I, the Vampire Mistress, proudly reside: http://liberal.nationstates.net/nation=nova_nacioTo be absolutely honest, you should probably drop it, I'm not going to but it's not going to get any better for you. Even good cartoons suffer the occasional blow-up-a-minor-flaw into an episode when it really didn't need to. If one or two occasional bad segments are enough to ruin the show, it's best to stop watching.
Personally I think it's the fault of having more than one writer on the show (notice how they credit them at the start of each episode.) I haven't checked to make sure, But I suspect that these people have different ideas of how long to do a joke. This can happen to any show, even very good ones. The question then becomes, is it worth tolerating the bad episodes to see the good ones?

Very valid points, both of you (and thank you for not ignoring the even GOOD/VERY GOOD shows can be guilty of doing this, too!). The way I see it, with how episodes are being released so fast (you might even say faster than necessary), this series will probably/unfortunately be a one-and-done effort (Just like Pearlie and El Tigre were - to name examples)...
Damn shame - I bet it would last at least two seasons if the writing had been tightened, as I'm sure the consensus for this show in its native country isn't all that warm right now...

This is where I, the Vampire Mistress, proudly reside: http://liberal.nationstates.net/nation=nova_nacioIf they did cancel it, there would be news about it, honestly...
Also, as much as I was starting to warm up to it, I'm sure it wasn't well recieved in its native country. Even if it was, I couldn't see this as anything more than a one-and-done (One season than gone) effort, anyway, due to its overall shoddy execution.
Other than that, I need a link to find out if this is all true...

Damn Straight! I'd rather this show go out like Pearlie & El Tigre, for example, and finish its run, just to see if it gets any better, because if this is true, this is sad news. However, like I said about the shoddy overall execution of everything... Maybe it's for the best we leave this kind of concepts to anime (and I wish someone from the West had the cajones to do something like this without being offensive...).

Assuming we have no data on new eps. That's a big given... Damn shame if it is!

Did anyone use You Tube downloader or otherwise preserve the other episodes before they got pulled? (Looking at you, Truteal.) Because this seems like it will soon get a serious case of Keep Circulating the Tapes.
