Shows You're Surprised Were Made

Outside of Scott Menville's annoying Shaggy knock off, the show's actually surprisingly good. Plus the show had a series finale, a first for a Scooby Doo show, meaning Shag and Scoob can rejoin the gang whenever WB decides to do a new show.

Another show I'm shocked got made: Beetlejuice. Don't get me wrong, I loved, loved, LOVED, this show and desperately want it on DVD, but looking at the movie, how did they see that as Saturday morning potential?
 
I was very surprised to see a new series of Biker Mice from Mars last year. Especially since it's at least 10 years since the first one and they kept the continuity.
 
I'm surprised about 95% of the cartoons these days. With the exception of Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, Danny Phantom, and Avatar most cartoons these days would have been cancelled within a month back in the `90s.
 
Ugh. Little Rosey.

Let's take a loud, arrogant, brash sitcom star and center her in a cutesy cartoon.

Little Shop made no sense at all. Audrey II was a man-eating plant who pretty much ate the entire human cast in the original Corman film and Broadway musical (the film had Seymore and Audrey alive at the end because test audiences didn't like the gloomy plant takes over the world ending).

But Attack of the Killer Tomatoes I liked. I even liked that the one live-action sequel actually incorporated some of the series elements in it.

You mean the new Biker Mice From Mars series is already made? And it's on the air?!? Dang E/I regulations killing real syndication . . .
 
Hulk Hogan's Rock 'N' Wrestling. What a nutty concept: Hulk Hogan and his WWF slam banging buddies as cartoon characters having wacky misadventures.

Not a cartoon, but nonetheless, an "out there" idea: Going Bananas: An orangutan named Roxanna Banana gets super powers after being zapped by a UFO. Even for 1980s Saturday morning, that premise was wacky.
 
Toxic Crusaders. Kid-friendly troma (though if they had cameos by sgt. kabukiman and tromie the nuclear squirell from class of nuke em high it would have been slightly better)?
 
:D lol...yeah, probably one of the best quotes from that show....and i just thought of another mind boggler -the free willy cartoon. in the show willy could now talk and had a little annoying dolphin sidekick. there was the standard arch villan with a big mechanical arm with a hook. he had a high-tech submarine and some slimy mutant like henchmen and was always out to harpoon poor willy....i only wish i was making this stuff up.
 
Yes. Disney has done this alot of times. Examples, "Atantlis" & "Lilo & Stitch". Now with Atantllis, some of the shows were done but the movie flopped. So Disney combine the currently done epiosdes into DVT called: Atantlis: Milo's Return. If the series was contunied, Milo & company would have encounter Demona from Gargoyles.
 
Not to mention the Saturday Morning Cartoon version of Rambo.

Rambo.

Freakin' RAMBO.


:eek:

Okay, hard-R rated movie franchise...yeah, that's going to make perfectly fine G-rated kiddie programming!
