  1. Fantastic Four: The animated series by BobWeiner · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A Fantastic Four animated cartoon would be great -- tho no doubt the powers at be at Marvel will some how bastardize the TV version. Still, it's better to see the focus on characters other than the X-Men and Spiderman.

    Forget the whales, and bring back Power Man and Iron Fist!

    Wait a minute. You're complaining because TMNT looks all chopped up, and you think you're getting old?

    Christ. About 6 years ago, MTV started showing Speed Racer re-runs, and I thought: "Cool! I can relive part of my past by watching Speed Racer again! But, Pops, I know I can win the transcontinental race!"

    After trying to watch an episode, I realized that:

    1) There is no coherent plot to a Speed Racer episode; it's just a bunch of random clips all spliced together.
    2) I still didn't know if Trixie was Speed's sister, cousin, lover, whatever. And what was her relationship to Spike, the mechanic?
    3) Somehow I tolerated Chim-chim and the little brother (can't recall the name just now), but I don't know for the life of me how.
    4) You just can't go back.

    So, I know I'm getting old & crusty, but I think that if you watched TMNT as a kid, you're probably still too young to gripe about it. Sorry.
