This is for animated series I feel like at least mentioning that I've seen, but which I'd give a tek's rating of... less than one smiley. Or for shows I don't remember very well, and don't care that much about not remembering well. (Though some of them I would have given at least one smiley when they were originally airing.)

Angela Anaconda, FOX Family
IMDb; official website; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

Never watched too much of this and don't remember it well, but I watched a bit of it. It was pretty weird. But I kinda liked it, I guess. It was sort of amusing. Angela was kind of cool I guess. Certainly she had an interesting imagination, and stuff. And she had some friends, Gina Lash, Johnna Abatti, and Gordy Rhinehart, though I don't think I cared much about any of them. And there was this annoying, snobby girl named Nanette Manoir who was like Angela's worst enemy, and who was the teacher's pet, and stuff. So I suppose the title character was pretty much my only reason for watching at all. Dunno what else to say.

Back to the Future, CBS
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

Well, I dunno how well I remember this, but I know I did kinda like it (at the time, I definitely would've rated it higher than "meh"). Anyway, it's based on the live-action movie trilogy of the same name, of course. It takes place sometime after the third movie. Doc Brown is married to Clara, and they have sons named Jules and Verne, and Marty is still around, of course. And Einstein, the dog. And Biff, and Jennifer. And they have the DeLorean as well as Doc's train, so there's plenty of time travel. And... I don't really know what to say. It was amusing enough, or whatever. And I still sometimes say "oucha magoucha!" like Doc often did in this cartoon. So... I may not remember the show well, but at least I remember it fondly enough. Oh yeah, and Christopher Lloyd did some live-action segments where he did simple science experiments. So it's odd, if he was working on the show, that he didn't actually voice Doc Brown in the cartoon. But whatever....

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures, CBS
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; Wikipedia

I remember this a little bit. Not very well, but I think it was okay. It was based, of course, on the live-action Bill & Ted movies. So... Bill & Ted did some time travelling, in a phone booth, and Rufus was in the show, and the princess babes, who I don't remember well. Nope, don't remember anything very well about the show. But someday I should be able to see it again. I think there are at least a couple episodes in the DVD box set of the two movies, so that should remind me of the series a bit... if I ever get it, which I intend to... someday....

Celebrity Deathmatch (claymation), MTV
IMDb; MTV2; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

This was kinda cool when it started, but I think it got to be kind of boring and stupid, so I eventually stopped watching. Anyway, crude clay versions of celebrities battle to the death on this show hosted by these other crude clay guys, Nick Diamond and Johnny Gomez. Dunno what else to say, but hey, if you're into extreme claymated violence, this is definitely the show for you....

Cro, ABC
IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

I don't remember this very well, but it was alright. There was this scientist, like a paleontologist or whatever, named Dr. C (who we kinda liked). She and this kid named Mike discovered a woolly mammoth named Phil, who had been frozen in a glacier since the Ice Age. So, they thawed him out, and he would tell the two of them stories about stuff that happened in his own time. The central character in these stories was a friend of Phil's, a Cro-Magnon boy called Cro, who lived with Neanderthals. Of course he was much smarter than they were. And the stories also included Phil and his fellow mammoths. Not much else to say.

Cubix: Robots for Everyone (CG), WB
IMDb; official website; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

Well, yeah. This... was a computer generated cartoon... kind of seemed sort of like anime, but not really. And um, I dunno. I wasn't that into it, but I watched it for awhile. This kid named Connor and his dad moved to Bubble Town, where there were a lot of robots. Some of them just seemed to have jobs, and some of them were like friends to people around town. Mainly kids. Connor became friends with a group of kids, including a girl named Abby (who we kinda liked, but felt real weird about that), plus Chip and Mong. And they hung out and worked at a robot repair shop called the Botties Pit, which was run by a mechanic named Hela (who I guess we also kinda liked), who was also sort of a friend to the kids. Anyway, Connor fixed up a robot named Cubix, who became his friend. And he could turn into lots of different forms, and helped battle the evil robots of a mad scientist named Dr. K. And aside from that, I don't really remember much. And I didn't really care that much about the show, but still I sort of felt it was worth mentioning.... Oh yeah, and the show had some of the same VAs as Pokemon characters, like Dr. K sounded like Meowth, Hela sounded like Jessie, and apparently Abby had the same VA as Ash and May, though I'm afraid I don't really remember what she sounded like....

Detention, WB
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

There were a bunch of middle school kids. I don't remember it well, but Shareena Wickett was cool, slightly goth, and Emmitt Roswell was interesting I guess, into like conspiracy theories. Wish I could say something about the show, but it wasn't great anyway. At least I wanted an entry here to mention that I remember it. Vaguely.

Duckman, USA
IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

I thought this show was pretty stupid and annoying a lot of the time. But it had a good cast and it could be funny. Duckman was this detective, who was, of course, a duck. He was pretty stupid and also thought very highly of himself and very lowly of pretty much everyone else. Very self-centered and irresponsible and sexist and stuff. His partner was a smart, polite, Dragnet sort of pig named Cornfed. Duckman was a widower with some weird kids, and they lived with his sister-in-law or whatever. Also a pair of really annoyingly cheerful little teddy bear things, named Fluffy and Uranus, worked for Duckman. I dunno what else to say. I didn't watch a lot of the show and didn't like it much. Usually.

Fievel's American Tails, CBS
IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

This was set sometime after the movie Fievel Goes West which itself was a sequel to An Americal Tail. Basically, toward the end of the 19th century, a young mouse named Fievel Mousekewitz and his family emigrated from Russia to America. The first movie was set in New York, but in the sequel, they moved to the Wild West. And basically, the series is about Fievel's further adventures, there. There's a villain named Cat R. Waul. And um... I don't really remember the series well enough to tell you anything more about it, but I do remember enjoying it when it was on. I'm sure I would've given it at least one smiley, and if I ever saw the series again, I might well move my review to its own page.

Gary the Rat, Spike
IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

This was part of TNN's new animation lineup for adults, around the time the network's name changed to Spike TV. Anyway, it's about this sleazy lawyer named Gary Andrews, who turned into a giant rat (voice of Kelsey Grammer). There's an exterminator named Johnny who has been hired by Gary's landlord to kill Gary, though he always ends up killing somebody else by mistake. Johnny has a cat named Boots, who is his best friend. Gary has a boss named Mr. Harrison. I can't think of anything else to tell you, but it's all reasonably amusing. I wished it woulda lasted longer. But now I don't remember it well, and looking back I don't miss it that much.

Johnny Bravo, Cartoon Network (reruns on Boomerang)
IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

Not a great show, but it's okay at times. It can be rather amusing I guess. This guy Johnny is just kinda dumb and self-involved and vain. He wants to get a girl, but no girls are ever interested in him. He um, works out alot and studies karate and takes great care of his hair and talks kinda like Elvis (and lives in Aron City, with his mama). There's some other characters in the show who think of Johnny as a friend, but he doesn't seem to like them much. Dunno what else to say, it can be a kinda stupid show most of the time, but sometimes funny. But I haven't watched it for awhile. Still, I'm torn about including it on this page... I'd very nearly rate it one smiley instead of "meh," but... whatever.

The Real Ghostbusters
DVD site; IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

Based on the live-action Ghostbusters movies, which I should rewatch someday and write reviews of. Anyway, there was some other cartoon called Ghostbusters which had nothing to do with the movies or anything, and I never saw it, but it was out first, so this show needed to add "Real" to its title. Uh, I guess it was later renamed Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters, but it's basically the same thing. There was also a sequel called "Extreme Ghostbusters," which I'm not sure I ever saw. Anyway, I don't remember this show very well, though I know I enjoyed it while it was on. If I watched it now, I'd probably find it a bit too cheesy, though.

Rude Dog and the Dweebs, CBS
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

This didn't last long and wasn't really great, but it was okay. Rude Dog himself was cool, but I don't recall caring for the dweebs (who were just these dumb dogs) that much. Rude Dog tried to look after them and instruct them in being cool, though. I don't remember it well, but I liked the theme song and I used to have a sweatshirt with Rude Dog on it...

Santo Bugito, CBS
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; Wikipedia

This show was funny. It was about this town in like the Old West, Santo Bugito, inhabited by bugs. I don't remember it well, but I think I liked it. I'm sure while it was on I would have rated it higher than I do in retrospect, since I don't remember it very well, now.

Skeleton Warriors, CBS
IMDb; Retro Junk; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

I barely remember this. It didn't last long, anyway, but I liked it while it was on. It always kinda reminded me of The Outer Limits in a way, with this weird sort of silvery skull or something, hovering in space at like the start and end of each episode, voicing the moral of the episode's story. Anyway, I'll probably get it on DVD eventually, then I can write a proper review (and probably move it to its own page).

Superjail!, Cartoon Network
Adult Swim; IMDb; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

This is a really weird, trippy, crazy show full of extreme over-the-top violence. It's about this jail called Superjail, on a remote volcanic island. It was created by this crazy genius called the Warden, who's kinda like a cross between Elton John and Willy Wonka. On acid. In addition to creating Superjail and all its defenses and weapons and all kinds of weird stuff, he also created a robot called Jailbot, which doesn't talk but it can fly and has all kinds of internal weapons and whatnot. There's also a guy named Jared who is like the second in command of Superjail, but he doesn't get any respect from anyone, and he's constantly stressed out. And the chief of security is Alice, who's very violent and masculine. She thinks of herself as attractive though the only man who's interested in her is the Warden, but she's not interested in him. There's also lots of prisoners though the only one of consequence is Jacknife. He doesn't talk, but every episode starts with him committing some crime and then being apprehended by Jailbot, who flies him back to Superjail. (I have no idea how he keeps escaping.) There are also a pair of strange, mysterious twins, who seem to be aliens or something. They just observe everything that happens in Superjail for their own amusement, and sometimes instigate trouble, also for their amusement. And they, like, teleport away whenever they feel like it. Not really sure what else to say. Just lots of weirdness and violence and plots that don't appear to even try to make much sense. And for the most part I don't find it all that funny. Still, I keep watching it because it's sort of interesting, I guess. Or whatever.

Tom Goes to the Mayor, Cartoon Network
Adult Swim; IMDb; Timanderic.com; TV.com; TV Tropes; Wikipedia

The show had its amusing moments, but mostly I found it weird and kinda stupid (and not weird or stupid in particularly good ways, usually). The show is barely animated; the characters are like sketches that don't move much, drawn over a fully drawn and colored background. There's this guy named Tom Peters, who has ideas, and takes them to the Mayor of Jefferton, who is just nuts, and it seems like he just doesn't even listen to Tom, but gets Tom to think his own (the Mayor's) ideas were his (Tom's), and ropes him into presenting his idea to the town council. They seem a bit saner than the Mayor, but tend to go along with these insane ideas in the end. Well, sometimes Tom gets to do his own stuff, but it's usually only slightly less stupid than the Mayor's ideas. Anyway, Tom usually has a great deal of trouble getting things done, but somehow he does. Sort of. Whether working on his own ideas or the Mayor's, it never really works out very well. He's kind of lucky if it all doesn't end in a ton of deaths, actually.

I should also say that Tom is married to a woman named Joy, who has some kids from a previous marriage. She is really fat (practically bedridden) and ugly and has this really horrible, screechy voice and constantly nags and screams at Tom and orders him around and seems to completely hate him. Yet he seems to love her and tries to do whatever she says, for her and her kids (who also show him no respect). Honestly, I can see very little humor in any of this, and little reason to watch the show other than schadenfreude, which has never much appealed to me, anyway. Oh, I should also mention there are some live-action segments interspersed with the sketchy animation. Mostly this consists of a married TV news team, Jan and Wayne Skylar (played by Tim and Eric, who created the show and also voice Tom and the Mayor).

One thing I can say in the show's favor, it seems to make its humor both subtle and way over-the-top at the exact same time, which I think is rather a neat trick. Anyway, I feel a bit guilty about not liking the show more than I do. Though that may be because everyone at a board I go to thinks it's quite good. Not that we always agree on shows and stuff, anyway. Still, I don't totally dislike the show, or else I wouldn't keep watching it. Anyway, there's definitely worse stuff on Adult Swim. And, that's about all I can think to say.
