Title: The Secret Saturdays

The Secret Saturdays (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyGNzi30B-4)
Anybody who watches at least an hour of CN a day knows that there's a new series coming. I saw the commercials, read Animation Insider's article (http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=1820) about it and it looks decent. The style kind of looks like an old 80's comic, which isn't bad, and the animation looks kinda slick. Will it work or suck?

i'm guessing it's gonna have horrible dialogue just like ben 10

"easy as pie....












anybody know how to make pie?"

It reminds me of venture brothers but with 100% more gay.

I like Venture Bros. but I hate Ben10, I hope to God it doesn't turn out like that.

I've only watched the first episode of the new season on the internet since its not out yet in Canada.
It seemed okay.

secret saturdays was going to be so great

and then cartoon network execs took it, turned it around, bent it over, and stuck their big ol dicks right in it.

looks like one of those shows that tries a little TOO hard to appeal to a kid audience

Yeah. Why does every cartoon nowadays have to star a 10 year old boy, too? I seem to remember some of the best cartoons being the ones with adult characters like X-men (the original, not jank ass 'evolution')

i think it started during the batman animated series when WB execs started pestering paul dini and the others to "add more robin" because they thought kids liked robin.

but they didnt.

noone really likes robin. not even starfire.

Hopefully kids will hate the shit out of it and they will learn their lesson.

I have to admit it too, especially since I love Venture Bros.
Not enough laughs this season, but it was good story wise I guess...

Also: Secret Saturdays is ewewew
Ben 10 is better than this shit

I'm not the type to label it before I've even seen the whole thing.

When the first episode of Avatar came out, I thought it was an over-cliched piece of fake anime crap (Not that I was one to judge at that time) But regardless, it turned out to be something enjoyable in the 2nd and 3rd seasons at least.
