Top 10 Shows That Never Ended

Hello there, guess what I decided to make another top 10 list but before we can start counting down I just want to explain some thing about television. We all watch tv don't we and there's always a show we watch that becomes apart of our past time, so it's such an inconvinience  when a certain show ends too early. As there are shows that bid the viewers farwell there are some shows that just end without warning or a big season finale, there are even those shows that end on cliffhangers. I have had a grudge with this sort of problem for a long time now which is why I'm counting down the top 10 shows that were left unfinished. Oh BTW I'm not counting Dexter's Laboratory because that show actually had a series finale and a movie; it just that it had 2 seasons afterwards that took place before the finale.

10. Santo Bugito

For those who don't know, Santo Bugito was a cartoon series about a Mexican town filled of talking insects, it revolved around these 2 married bugs called Paco and Carmen. The show was extremley under-rated and only lasted 13 episodes, to be truthful it's a very good show but I can see why it only lasted a few episodes but anyway it's still a forgotten gem worth checking out.

9.Stupid!

Just to let you know this show was from the UK which is where I'm from, so some of you would probably be baffled. The show took place in this mythical world where emotions are controlled by a different monarchs; in this case the main characters were the King of Stupidy himself and his annoying gremlin butler Goober.
The premise of this show was about how King Stupid would control the actions of innocent people using his advance computer system to make them do utterly idioctic things which cut to a series of sketches of the unfortunate victims. For example there would be a girl who think she's a lawer, or a boy who thought he could turn invisable, there was also one were a Scout Master who would make his campers get back at his ex-wife's new boyfriend (or Fancy man as the scout master calls him) and who could forget the Devil Finger sketch where a 11 year old boy thinks his finger is pocessed by the forces of evil. The sketches were either recurring or minor.

This show wasn't really one of my favourites so it doesn't hold up for me but it did have some funny moments right? So why is it on the list? The most controversal episode in my opinion was the last epsiode.
When a young girl actually makes a discovery of king Stupid, the king become concerned so he makes her act silly just to keep everyone from believing her. Later King Stupid transports her to his universe where she records everything that King Stupid does with her phone; with that she tries to mail the data to the news crew but King Stupid fights for the phone and the episode ends with the data being sent to the media leaving the viewers to wait for the next episode. Unfortunetly the show was cancelled after that making this the last episode; what's really annoying about this show is that it ended on a cliff hanger which is another reason why I don't like this show that much. Anyway for a show that lived up to it's name, Stupid was just a show that ended way too soon.

8. Robotboy
  Now I'll be honest this show didn't really leave much an impact on me but when it first aired,it was good to watch right? For some reason not many people liked this show but like I said before it was good when it first aired so it wasn't exactley bad. It was about 10 year old Tommy Turnball who is given the invention of famous scienctist Professor Moshino, RobotBoy to keep safe from the evil scienctist Dr Kamikazi who wants the robot to take over the world (Bison: OF COURSE!)
So it's up to Robotboy to save the world from Kamikazi's crutches.

Now the show's last episode wasn't much of a finale because it was just about Kamikazi seeing his grandma nothing special really; I mean couldn't they've had a big series finale like in Dexter's Lab. But I digress this show didn't last that long and it shows really.

7.Clone High

I've only started checking out this series on You Tube more recently and I got to say it's quite good. The show was about a high school of teens who are genetic clones of famous people in history like Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc and so forth. The series was basically an animated sicom for more older and more mature viewers. It was made by the same duo who would later make the film adaption to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The reason why it's on the list is because it only lasted for one season and it ended on a cliffhanger but that doesn't mean it's gaining a cult following. In case you're wondering why it's so low on the list well like I said I only started seeing it recently and although it's not one I would sink my teeth into; needless to say Clone High is an experiment which would have lasted longer and actually worth looking at.

6.Sonic the Hedgehog (AKA Sonic SatAM)

Unlike the wacky and surreal Sonic cartoon, Sonic SatAM was an edgy gripping cartoon series that put everyone's favourite hedgehog in a more darker post-apocalyptic setting with lots of action to boot. One of the problems this show had was that it too ended too soon on a cliffhanger. I think this sort of thing that happens to most cartoons based on video games but it would later spawn new shows revolving Sonic (although most people don't like the later shows as much) So anyway Sonic SatAM is a show worth checking out even for those who are not Sonic fans.

5. Dungeons and Dragons

I think alot of people remember this show it was about a group of kids who get sucked into the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons by taking a ride on an amusement roller coaster. So it's up to the kids to find their way back to the real world by fighting mystical creatures and going through dangerous quests. The show wasn't much to me but alot people liked it though. The biggest upset to this show is that the children never went back to the real world they just stayed in the realm forever; though there was originally gonna be a forth season and prehaps a big season finale but unfortunetly the show got canned so pretty much the kids got screwed.



4.Hihi Puffy Ami Yumi

 What can I say about this show, it was retro, it was colourful and it was alot of fun. Based on Puffy Ami Yumi the real japenese rock/pop group this show had a variety of style and stories to keep us entertained which made it one of the last good shows on Cartoon Network. However the show was canned after only 3 seasons, there were final episodes made but they never aired them. Despite this Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi was a good show that faced the music too soon.

3.Sheep in the Big City

Sheep in the Big City was about a sheep simply named Sheep for runs away from his home on the farm to live in the surburban city street. While there he faces strange episodes as he tries to hide from the milatary, a little girl and Lady Richinton. This show was filled lots of hilarious gags and was an homage to tthe Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Although the show never had a great season finale to let the series go off with a bang Sheep in The Big City will always be one of the baaaest cartoons of the 2000s, which would have had a better ending.  


2. The Cramp Twins

Again I'm putting the Cramp Twins on my top 10 list but I'm a Cramp Twins fanboy so there shouldn't be any complaining. I already mentioned why I like this show a few times in my blog so it shows. But if theres any thing that ticks me off about this show was that it didn't last very long, there was no season finale to explain any of the aspects that we wanted to know which makes me wonder why shows like this get cancelled so quickly. I quess originally there was originally going to be a finale called "Goodbye to Lucien and Wayne" (or something like that) which would have been a epic episode but nooooooooo! Alike all these other shows Cramp Twins was a show that deserved more respect from the network which resulted in it being layed to rest. I hope people will remember this show for what it was; maybe someday someone will be inspired to create a reamke of this.

And the #1 that was yet to end is.....................................................................................................

 1.Samurai Jack

 Now everyone watched this show at one point in their childhood and enjoyed it and so did I. Filled with action packed thrills, timeless animation, a catchy theme song and a great main character Samurai Jack was simply a show you wouldn't want to missed. Looking back at this show it was top-notch for it's time but if theres anything that this show didn't have; it was a big series finale. When the show got cancelled we never saw Jack return to the past so the fans had to figure that one out on their own. However with a Samurai Jack movie coming out there might be a chance to see the epic conclusion we've been waiting for.

So there you have it, all ten tv shows that were either cancelled in the middle of a climax or just were just canned for no apparent reason. Now I dont think low ratings were the reason for these show ending so soon, I guess it wasprobably due to complications. While I do say out all these shows Stupid, Dungeons & Dragons and Robotboy were my least favourites but even the least likable shows needed a finale or something to set the record straight. Lets hope in the future a show will not end on a cliff hanger or something like that and instead let it end on something to remember.

Happy Aniversery Cramp Twins

A year ago I posted this video on You Tube, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cramp Twins, considering Cartoon Network wouldn't anyway. This video shows some background history on the show and how much it means to me and other CT fans. Let I said, it's also available to watch on my You Tube channel (check link below) hope you'll enjoy it.

Support the Development of The Vaughan Boys

You know during the late 2000s, animation hasn't really been at it's strongest, with more CGI features and tv cartoons being either mostly juvenile or just boring and descent animators careers being crudely over shadowed, theres really no helping them. However things have turned around for the better with such animated features like Disney's The Princess and the Frog, The Adventures of Tintin, Rango and Fantastic Mr Fox; we've even seen more great animated projects like Adventure Time, the debut of talented new animators, the improvement of the my little pony francise and the return of the Looney Tunes, Beavis and Butthead and Gorillaz. But what I really want to talk about today is a certain british cartoon that is probadly under development right now, that cartoon is called The Vaughan Boys.

Now normally I wouldn't be hyped or that supportive over this sort of thing but while I looking through the web recently and I found this picture out of curiosity and was suprised to know that this was a product developed by Brian Wood and Andrew Brenner, the same people behind the Cramp Twins. Now I have praised the Cramp Twins in my previous blog posts and I've talked about Brian Wood and his previous works.
According to Brenner's website it's suppose to be about a family of mostly brothers which sounds pretty promisng to be honest. I've only just found this on Andrew Brenners website and must say it doesn't really look like Wood's style (for the moment) but I'm sure they will make it more like Cramp Twins; after all this picture is just a rough prototype right.

I have two reasons why this show should be put into development and why it should be greenlighted

1. It has been years since cartoonist Brian Wood has made another product. I think of this show to be the perfect opportunity for Wood to return to animation as he has disapered for a long time.

2. The Vaughan Boys could possibly be the revival of Cartoon Network's co-european production line as Angelo Rules wasn't that good a show. It would also be the thing that CN UK needs to redeem themselves.

So here are my reasons on why I think The Vaughan Boys should be greenlighted or put into development, Andrew Brenner has stated that Cartoon Network UK has considered making a pilot of it. Personally I dont care if it's good or bad or if they just make one episode i just want to see Brian Wood make a comeback as it's been so long since we've seen a recent product by him.

The Top 5 Most Irritating Little Kiddie Shows Ever Made

Hey Kids! do you like all those shows aimed at kids aged 0-6? Well do you wanna know my top 5 worst little kid shows which I've hate so much. Well lets go! YAAAY!! But first lets remind ourselves of what little kiddie's shows are, Okay! of we gooooooooooooooo!

Sorry guys, felt like I nearly lost my intelligence there, anyway lets just cut to the chase. There are many genres for tv shows out there but the one we're gonna cover today is the little kiddie's genre, we all have a show we've watched in our childhood and the kiddie genre was the perfect way to introduce us to television itself.

We've all watched a kiddie show during our past time as littlins did we (me especially) they educated us, they amused us and they talked us the great values of life (despite how cruel it can be in reality) in any generation you were born in. Now as the millenium changed, the kiddie show genre has become watered down exposing new generations of toddlers to programmes that lacked character, creativity and any important morals or values and are just made to make fun of your kid's intelligence than just expand it. Shows that are so toned down that they wouldn't even mention "butt checks". now I don't watch little kiddie shows as much as I used to but when I'm flicking through the channels and when i come across a kiddie show or even see one second of one I think "my God!" I mean what happened to the genre, it was so entertaining back than now they just make you make you want to hit the tv screen and complain all day!

Now join me boys and girls as we count down the top 5 most horrifying, idiotic little kiddie shows that you should keep your kids or younger siblings from watching. So ado you want to count with meeee! YAYYY!! Okay leeettts gooooo! YAY!

5. Dora the Explorer

My god do we love to hate this little brat do we, it's about this spanish 5 year old who hangs out with a talking monkey and a talking bag pack, the weirdness doesn't start here people; and she goes out on these adventures without any adult supervision whats so ever, proving to little kids that even they can go out on big responsible adventures, good message there.
Now apart from being too colourful and  annoying everything is all wrong like the music numbers, the forth wall breakers, the characters, Everything! ITS ALL TOO MUCH!! and on top of that it has probably the most annoying villian of all time; Swiper, dun dun duhh! All he is just a fox that tries to ruin Dora's mission by trying to snatch the thing she's looking for, and all it takes to stop him is to shout "Swiper No Swipping" and he just goes away, wow what a way to teach kids how to keep themselves from being nit picked hohoho, STUPID! and also Swiper is the worst villian ever! dont you agree I thought so.

4. Little Einsteins 

Personally I never watched a full episode of this show but from I can tell from the previews and the first and I mean the first 5 seconds of this show it sucks. the animation is too colourful the characters are as wooden as puppets and the songs are boring. And the way this show exploits different cultures and subjects is just as badly as Victorious does (wow if a show is as bad as Victorious than thats a new time low) Anyway Little Einsteins is just another crappy little kiddie's cartoon by disney that you should avoid at all costs.


3. Bobinogs
Oh my god I freaking hate this show!!! For those of you who haven't heard of this show (be thankfull you haven't) or have forgotten about it I'll tell you.

Bobinogs was a cartoon show about three friends named Ogi, Bobin and Nib who formed a band that consists of drums, keyboard and vocal, think of them as the band Keane but dumbed down of course. Now you may think it sounds promising, a little kid's show about a pop group that teaches it's viewers important life lessons as well as music, but trust me it's not good at all.
All this show offers is bland stories with dumbass characters that are as flat as their design, lessons that are taken from other shows like (i.e looking both ways before crossing the road and why sleep is important) HOW STUPID ARE THESE PEOPLE!! and songs that are so annoying, they make songs by Rebecca Black and other mainstream singers today sound amazing.

But wait it's worse than you can think, theres an utterly pointless running gag in this show where the talentless three look through a pair of talking binoculars called the "Bobinoculars" in which they look at toddlers doing stuff that they should have probably have known how to do by now. Did I forget to mention when you look through the "bobinoculars" everything turns live action, What is this? Ralph Bakshi meets the Teletubbies how low can you get!! Also the Bobinoculars serves no purpose to the show except to be totally annoying and to rip off other kiddies shows and it's character trait is the same equivalent to HAL 9000's bland cousin I mean they never explain it's origin, the other characters don't acknowledge it afterwards it's only used for showing it's viewers what other kids do in their like a freaking reality show, all I can say is..........

So overall the Bobinogs is a lame show filled with characters with no brains or personalities, flat animation, pointless filler and god awful songs and is about as insulting to indie rock than it is to the viewer's intelligence. I'm just thankful this piece of crap faced the music and ended before anyone of todays kids got to know it because is there any wonder no one remembers it for it was as much as fun as static radio.




 2. Tweenies 

Yeah now we're getting somewhere, I know I've dissed Bobinogs to the max but this show is the crap stopper of the count down.

Now like every other kid growing up in the 90s and 2000s I saw this show and didn't think it was really that bad until i got older. Well why cant I be annoyed by these 4, their voices are as irritating as well as their personalities and they look like rejected character designs from the Cramp Twins (did I forget to mention that Milo's design is a rip off Wayne Cramp)
It's the type of show that makes you feel dirty after watching it as well as a complete acid trip. I like to think grown ups were glad when this show ended so their kids could finally shut up i disliked this show and i'm sure you've grown to dislike it too.

And finally the number 1 worst little kiddie show is.............................................

                                                            1. Jungle Junction

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean this show is just pure genocide, even when you look at it you cant help but to throw up. It's about a race of genetically re-engenerred animals made to look like motor vehicles that live in a literal concrete jungle as their habitat, God the premise alone sounds drugged up. From what I heard at TV.com it basically teaches kids about  environmental issues now that wouldn't be a problem for me if the animals weren't freaking cars. The animation is just sickly awful, the message is mixed overall it's just a cheap looking cartoon made by stoners.
To all the people out there who are reading this, if you want to be good parents may I advise yourselves  to keep your kids away from this artificially plastic pile of animal feces as possible or they might end up like this.

So overall we live in a generation where children are exposed to such bland and forgettable shows that have terrible songs and characters that are insulting to the viewer's intelligence. I'm not saying these character's are bad role models to children but their personalities are so bland and the direction of these shows are so poorly done compared to other kid's shows from the past. Also shows like "Jungle Junction" make the current stuff from Dreamworks Animation and Blue Sky look like masterpieces.

 I may not know much about kiddie shows because I don't watch them but you can tell from the way I dissed these awful show why I don't watch them. There're the type of shows that will give kiddies the wrong impression of television and life. If yo're a grown person who actually enjoys these shows than you seriously need to get your brain checked.

So remember boys and girls, stay far away from these show as possible and never ever expose your children to this kind of rubbish. We had a lot of fun counting down the worst kids shows ever did we kids, but it's time to say bye bye 

Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
