Glad to know I'm not alone!
I didn't mean to raise this topic again on a family board like this, (because of the content) but it just must made me SO ANGRY that this show is on the air and that the no-good "expletives" who made it are getting even more money from DVD sales. There are kids who look like they're five years old acting on this show.
(BTW they orignally, NOT KIDDING, wanted to air this on Basic Cable--TBS I think--(EDIT: It was USA)who of course rejected it. The writers/producers only chose MTV 2 because they had to.)
I'm not crazy about DT to put it mildly, but I don't loathe it like I do this show. I just think it's gross sometimes and kinda pointless, but I can understand why some people like the "acid trip" humor and that sometimes I have laughed while watching it...although it's just not my thing, usually.
But Wonder Showzen is about one million times worse than DT combined with everything else on Adult Swim, then squared by infinity.
I don't know, I guess I only brought it up in hopes of making others aware.

You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Its ok though, I'm glad you brought this topic up again, since I wasn't around when it was created
I second what you said! I'm mad that the show is still ON, what is on its third season .
Its not bad enough that the show gets good ratings, but to be a best seller, amongst greater shows, such a pity
really? I didn't know that. With the way the show is, do they honestly think its basic cable friendly enoughShyViolet wrote: (BTW they orignally, NOT KIDDING, wanted to air this on Basic Cable--TBS I think--who of course rejected it. The writers/producers only chose MTV 2 because they had to.)
Not crazy? don't worry I won't hold it against youShyViolet wrote: I'm not crazy about DT to put it mildly, but I don't loathe it like I do this show.

But I guess it is just for me.... Although I wish they cut back on some stuff. Otherwise its one of my favorite shows. And even better, It has two spoofs of some of my favorite shows Spongbob and Pokemon! Hoot.....
Or in Drawn Together terms: Ling Ling, and Wooldoor.
I completly agree! Its so much worse than all that, its not even funny.ShyViolet wrote:

Well, you've made me aware. And hopefully other lurkers..... But just in case '
Don't watch! Do you want more KIDS to be featured next to these disgusting puppets?

I've seen ads for it, though I've never watched an episode, and it does look rather interesting...But it'll be hard to top Robot Chicken and Venture Bros.I was surprised at how much I got out of Drawn Together. I didn't watch it avidly - only an episode here and there - but it was much better than I was expecting from it.

Circumstances and timing.
DVR Ben..... Its a god sent!
I've seen both those shows, and IMO it outdoes them both, and more.Meg wrote:I've seen ads for it, though I've never watched an episode, and it does look rather interesting...But it'll be hard to top Robot Chicken and Venture Bros.
More funny, and more gross. Don't know if that's a good thing for you, but for me it is
Be cautioned though, if you ever do get to watch it.
The things they get away with should be illegal!

Very well said Dan. Fortunately, I think it might not be picked up for another season. Not 100% sure though. Still it's on DVD.Don't watch! Do you want more KIDS to be featured next to these disgusting puppets?

Oh, and here's one of the kids who act on the show:

I know it says "Slaves" on the picture--very dark humor--don't ask. (Commentary on Slavery, but done in a really tactless and off-putting way.)

I don't mean to draw more attention to this show by commenting further on it, just wanted to illustrate more clearly why I think it's reprehensible--but I know some people like some of the jokes, so no offense to them--just voicing my opinion.

Lets hope that's true Vi! dvd is small compared to knowing its finally off the air, well not really, but no more new episodes!ShyViolet wrote:Very well said Dan. Fortunately, I think it might not be picked up for another season. Not 100% sure though. Still it's on DVD.
Its ok, Vi I kind of enjoy hearing why you don't like it and whatnot.ShyViolet wrote:

I still stand by my statement, that the show is wrong on many levels. Why so many enjoy this humor (with little kids involved) is beyond me. The humor for the most part is ok, its just the way its interpeted that I find unpleasing. Well, that's just my opinion as well

By the way, Entertainment Weekly is totally for his show.
They gave it great reviews and did a whole feature on it, including an interview with the "creators."
Apparently, half the parents of all those kid actors don't even know what kind of show this is.
It's just so sickening....

To much to comment on
Ok, first its not coming back? YES! We finally won Vi!!
Second, yay other people think like us! I completly agree with those reviewers.
Third, funny, I don't remember any articles about the show I remember once in a while it was on their tv guide, but not articles. Guess I forgot
So, are you happy Vi? I know how much you disliked the humor
What a nice early Christmas present!

Yes, I'm very happy about this Dan! It's the best thing that could have happened...other than the creators going to jail as well. (which I still feel they deserve.)
Yeah, EW reviewed it positively and had an interview with the creators. They have no shame and don't show any caution or regret about the fact that they use kids.
But it's not just EW--WS was reviewed positively by many reviewers. They are either sick themselves, or have no backbone.
But still, I"m really glad WS was cancled!!
Plus, I don't know if it's possible--could Henson's family (or Disney I guess) sue them for copying Sesame Street and defiling it like that? I hope Disney goes after them BAD....
(Oh wait, Disney doesn't own Sesame Street anyway. )
*Sigh* Oh well, I guess you can't have everything....
