Title says "four animated series".
Blurb says "an animated series".
Maybe they'll go completely out on a limb and use Iceman or Spider-Woman.
It'd be even better if Stan Lee did the narration.
Boy, I can't wait!
I wonder will the Fantastic Car be the same flying bathtub I remember from the old Fantasitc Four animated series. Anyone remember that? Gawd it was lame!

Maybe if Fox picks it up, we'll see Ralphie on the Simpsons douse himself with lighter fluid...
Ralphie: "Look! I'm The Human Torch! Ha Ha Ha!"
Chief Wiggum: "Hu hu hu! That's cute, Ralphie, now drop the book of matches. Ha ha ha! Ralphie, drop the matches.."
Ralphie: "Whee!" *scritch* FOOM!
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Bring back Herbie the Robot!!!
I still didn't know if Trixie was Speed's sister, cousin, lover, whatever.
Maybe it was all of the above?

they don't 'baby-ize' it like that godawful teen titans series.
Honestly, I take umbrage at that piece of crap. The comic I remember from back in the 80s was dark and ominous-- not cute and cuddly.
Allegedly real newspaper headline from 1998:
Man Struck by Lightning Faces Battery Charge
Anyone else except me ever wonder about Mr. Fantastic and many ways his stretching power can be applied in sexual ways?
I can't fucking believe you people. Free speech is DEAD now that Indymedia has been raided and you guys want to talk about the Fantastic Four? For God's sake, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!!
No you have it all wrong. It's times like this when the Fantastic Four are needed more than ever to protect our liberty! At last a returning glimmer of hope on the horizon! Onward our brave superheros - Onward to freedom!

...an "animated TV series" used to be abbreviated as "cartoon?" Those were the days.
Tell your Tivo to grab "Spiderman and His Amazing Friends", the old cartoon series that (I believe) Fox Family is re-running. It's awesome. I don't mean awesome in that it's a good show; I mean awesome in an MST3K-type way.
Basically, Spiderman has 2 friends/ roommates. Firestarter is this hot chick that turns into a fireball at a moment's notice and burns everything in her path. As an added bonus, she has a permanent cameltoe.
Then there's Iceman, the other roommate who can (you guessed it) turn into a frozen bald guy that looks strikingly like Silver Surfer, and freeze everything in his path.
The best part about this show (besides the aforementioned cameltoe) is the shoestring budget it must have had. The voice of Iceman is the same dude that voiced Fred in the Scooby Doo cartoon. But what's funny is that he's also the voice of virtually every erroneous character in the show. He doesn't even try to mask it. New bad guy? Give him Iceman's voice. Shopkeeper at the local store? Iceman.
The show is great fun to watch, especially while drinking. I highly recommend it to everyone. Let's hope that this F4 cartoon is slightly higher quality... or if it sucks, let's hope it's the same level of sucktitude that envelops Spidey and his amazing friends. Either way, we win.

That's FireSTAR, you philistine!

Lets take a look.
You have a man who can stretch any part of his body
A man who is rock hard
and a man who is rather flaming
And none of the team can see the only woman because she is invisible.
Totally gay...
