Shows You're Surprised Were Made

-Alienators: Evolution Continues
I never saw this, except for some commercials, but I'm surprised they made a TV show based on the movie, Evolution, since it was a financial flop. They probably started production before the movie came out.

-Laverne And Shirley In The Army
This is just another really weird idea for a cartoon. Also, their sargent is a talking pig.

-12 oz. Mouse
Adult Swim has always been known for cheap, bizarre cartoons, but this one is probably the weirdest. Imagine a David Lynch show, drawn by 5-year-olds, and you pretty much get 12 oz. Mouse.

I didn't even know this show exsisted untile three years ago and it surprises me they made it.

Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain. Funny as a one time bit, but just sad as a full season.

What Ever Happened to Robot Jones. When the pilot aired back when Cartoonnetwork was allowing kids to pick thier next new shows, I didn't like it. Out of the three they let kids pick it was Robot, Billy and Mandy, and some other show I think died during it's advertisements. Obviously Billy and Mandy won the contest but a couple of years later Robot Jones got it's own show. I started to like this show after while because it had such an old school style. It surprised me that they desided to bring the show back up, and it surprised me that they redubed all the voices to have that annoying child sounding voice instead of the original robot voice.



I totally forgot how well animated that show was. I watched it as a kid and what I remember was that it was pretty choppy, but they must spent all thier budget on this title show.
 
"Freak Show" that aired on Comedy Central. I did not care for any of the characters, hated most of them, the humor wasn't my palette. Seriously, I thought that this was the worse thing that CC has aired, I enjoy Lil Bush over that steaming pile.
 
Well, I can say Loonatics Unleashed, but on a good way. WB actually takes advantage of their mascot and make something new, instead of degrading him into educational preschool shows like *coughDisneycough*. Folks like Bugs (Ace in this case) are made to be stretched out and such. That Woiks!
 
I do believe that you're thinking about Baby Looney Tunes, as Tiny Toons was nothing like Jim Henson's Muppet Babies. The former was a babyfication (a hypothetical flashback with the established characters as little kids), while the latter was a next gen series (a series focusing on the offspring/apprentices/next generation of established cartoon characters). Muppet Babies' spiritual doppelganger was Baby Looney Tunes, not Tiny Toon Adventures.
 
Da Boom Crew.

Really, any time I even slightly remember this show, I shake my head in disgust. It's like they created a generic ripoff of Digimon using an animation style similar to The Proud Family while also trying to "appeal" to the "street" demographic, except twenty times worse than that. The fact that it had one of the shortest runs in Kids WB history says LEAGUES about the quality of the program (sure, Calamity Jane had a shorter run, but I'm pretty sure that was just an acquisition; this was a show they funded themselves).

...Except, apparently, it somehow did well over in the UK.
 
A recent example for me is The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

Considering how sanitized and run of the mill the rest of CN's output had been at that point, I was surprised by the lengths Flapjack went to. The series just runs on creepiness and nightmare fuel at this point, and some of the humor seems straight out of an early 90s cartoon.

Then I heard it had been in development hell for eight years or so, and that explained a lot.
 
Mighty Ducks (1996) - A group of hockey playing, crime fighting, alien ducks from "puckworld" have to battle a maniacal reptilian race called the Saurians? Um, OK....
 
Assy McGee - Nuff' said. Well not really. I'm just shocked that they actually thought it would work.

Digimon Data Squad - I thought Digimon was over with.

Fanboy & Chum Chum - From what I've seen I don't really see how they embody super fans or fanboys. I guess I need to watch more.

The Cleavland Show - I didn't think FOX was greedy enough to try but they did it. They made Family Guy Clone #2.



There's a street demographic?



Why would you think that? What definitive source said that none shall come after Batman TAS?
 
The Pink Panther and Pals.
It's pretty surprising to see a show like that in this day and age.

Every "-insert 70s-80s cartoon here- Kids" spinoff.
I mean, of course, they wanted to give their old franchises a fresh look and feel, but turning the characters into kids is just... Really odd.

The Regular Show
I'm just surprised that they actually did use something from Cartoonstitute.
 
I liked Adventure season 1 and 2. Only anime series I ever really followed. I lost interest starting with Tamers. I gave it an honest shot, but it was too late.
