No, seriously.

They've rebooted Tom and Jerry several times now, with Tom and Jerry Tales being the most recent iteration. It was a decent effort.

[irvine_11]

Hmmm... I can't really think of any serious answers.

I guess Mission Hill could use a reboot? It only lasted 13 episodes and it looked like it had great potential to further develop and become an incredible series. But I think everyone pretty much forgot about that show by now.

Larry & Steve

just a pilot

If they do reboot it, it needs to be like this:

just a pilot

Of what?

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Of what?

Family Guy kinda.

[Homer I Am]

Not really, I mean it was pretty... different compared to Family Guy. If they revived Larry & Steve and was exactly the way it was in the pilot, it'd be much better than Family Guy.

Tom and Jerry Tales was like that. It featured two-three short cartoons in a half hour episode with plenty of the classic Tom and Jerry chases and slapstick. I'm not sure what you're looking for here.

i don't think any of us are sure.

he wants the animation style of the first season

You're never going to see another mainstream cartoon that is animated in the same style as cartoons in the 1940s. The sooner you accept that the better. For one thing, animating cels is too expensive for anyone to do it and make money from it anymore.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Where's the thumbs down option when I need it...

[zach]

The sooner you accept that the better.

yeah.

How exactly is it "better"?

yeah.

He's on my ignore list.

ditto.

Personally, Beast Wars. Or at least give it a suitable sequel!

If that happened I would watch every episode in a day and I'm serious! I bloody love that show and I learned to appreciate and understand it more as I grew older. (This makes me want to watch season 2 on YouTube again damnit!) @cinco would obviously agree with me.

[Dark Homer]

why is this forum so obsessed with larry & steve?

[Homer I Am]

Because people are amazed Seth use to make good cartoons?

I've only mentioned it 2 or 3 times, don't know about the other members.

It would be better for all of us because you would leave your little world of delusion and join us in good ol' reality land. The weather's quite nice over here actually.

I agree about Larry and Steve. It had the few things I like about Family Guy (I've always thought Brian's character was the most likeable in the series and I enjoy Seth's voice acting) but it had other things like good animation and decent designs. The gags were mostly character based and slapstick, not shock value. If not a reboot, maybe I'd like Seth to do another cartoon that has this kind of designs and it's aimed to children. I mean, they are giving the guy all kind of projects, so I would like some of them to be good.

Anyway, I would obviously say Mission Hill and Clone High.

Also, there was only a pilot, but I'd have liked to see Peter Bagge's Hate in animated form. Or any other Peter Bagge character for that matter. He did a flash series entitled Rock and Roll Dad, but I'd like to see a Bagge's show on television.

Not a reboot either, but I'd really like to see John K's George Liquor finally in his own television series, but I'd really want it to be a little more like classic Ren and Stimpy and less like Ren and Stimpy APC.

What are you talking about?

[Jesse Pinkman]

you apparently want animation like the old tom and jerry for a tom and jerry reboot, and that's not going to happen because cartoons aren't animated like that anymore.

[zach]

pfff, he knows exactly what he was talking about.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

sigh

I used to love The Critic, but I've since realized it has a lot of cheesy humor that sometimes misses. Still, I felt like ripping on movies is one of those things that could have been done for more than 23 episodes, and a reboot today when animation is so popular could possibly fare better than in the mid-90s. It probably wouldn't be too far off from "Zombie Simpsons" though since both are Al Jean efforts.

And Space Ghost Coast to Coast could use some new episodes. I can't decide whether that was a cheap show to make because of all the stock footage or an expensive one because of all the celebrities?

[zach]

i couldn't even sit through an episode of The Critic.
