The New Adventures of ILXor: The Animated Series Poll voting and campaigning thread

i nominated homestarrunner and will def be voting for it! tho wow this deadline is sneaking up and I am moving this weekend so uh

David the Gnome should be on the nom list because I nommed it! Just watch the last episode if you're unsure whether it's up to snuff.

I have never seen any of Garfield & Friends but I don't have any trouble imagining it's Evanier's third-best fictional work

xp and it's all on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKttx8SgnHA&list=PLrEuz9dJQmAkIYkhcB4iZpoOlUDnMNDif&index=26

My recollection of Garfield & Friends is that it was pretty much a proto-Gen X cartoon. About as sardonic and cynical and meta and edgy as a Saturday morning cartoon could've been at that time, and obviously a big promoter of slack life.

I was going to extend a vain hope that the G&F DVDs might get a reissue after Nickelodeon's recent acquisition of PAWS but I see that someone is rolling out cheap new sets right now.

Ok found it: World of David the Gnome, The

I picked a good episode to watch: Shadowless Stone EP 19

a problem with G&F is that the orson's farm sections were entirely forgettable, and they were half the show.

Yeah, they pushed U.S. Acres a little too hard.

Hell, the tenure of those animated segments far outlasted the comic strip they were based on.

The farm bit was good in its own way but suffered from being the opener to a highly anticipated 3rd act starring Garfield.

Any consideration for setting the ballot deadline after Labor Day?

I can probably give it an official bump back sure

I start a new job on September 9 (!) so no matter what happens I will be sending compiled results to Leee and Thermo to run a rollout before then.

Ah, cool that it's being bumped back, I was just coming on to say that I wouldn't be able to submit by tonight.

Old Lunch- Have you seen the GI Joe Animated Movie? I'm not really into GI Joe but that's honestly one of my favorite films, very funny and gross film. People might say I just like it because I was a kid when I saw it, but I still love this and mostly don't care about Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Power Rangers etc.

I think the Ghostbusters cartoon was often better than the films.

Might give Steven Universe and Inhumanoids a go someday but anything that looks like it taken less than a few months to make is a very hard sell for me now.

i could have agonized over this for another few weeks i'm sure but i doubt i'll ever be happy w/ my ballot so i just submitted it as is

thx Mordy :)

I will catch up with submitted ballots over the long weekend and issue a final deadline

Voted!

Here is the second best theme tune

RAG, I have seen GI Joe: the Movie and I loved it as a kid but haven't seen it since. But since I'm apparently only watching GI Joe (which remains surprisingly great, Transformers...much less so, unfortunately) in preparation for this poll I'm sure I'll get to it soon.

Imho the GI Joe movie does not stand up well at all.
Original animated Transformers movie, otoh, is still fantastic.

The last time I watched the GI Joe movie was in college, and it was as bonkers and awesome to me then as it was when I saw it as a kid. (Kid-meee also found it scary at times too.)

I've reached the last handful of episodes of Gravity Falls and, well, WOAH.

i'd never heard of roobarb but that is a pretty killer theme tune!

If you like synthesizers a lot, sure.

I just found this and I will vote.

The Jem theme song gets stuck in my head 2-3 times a year and idk I think it's pretty sick.

It's not nominated but I love "Tales From The Tour Bus"

For me, the Gi Joe film is the best squicky horror film and most hilariously quotable film ever. "Even their airforce is ugly!"

Most of this is from the series but very funny too. "C'mon Slaughter, kick his face in!"

submitted!

oh i submitted last week, ended up filling my ballot out with recent anime due to the threatened proration rule so it's impossible to say if it's good or not

How much time do I have? My hastily compiled ballot is ready, but could use some tweaking.

Just got back from my holiday, assumed I'd missed voting in this, but there's still time? I could throw together a ballot tonight if you'll allow it Silby!

There’s still time, I might allow the remainder of the week. I’m still hoping a few Brits who have been participating in the threads will get ballots in. Also, people who are not men are heartily encouraged to submit ballots, especially if you are just lurking. If you’re reading this and have an ilx account you are an eligible voter!

Very cool, will get to work.

Ballot update! So far I have 16 ballots, voting for at least 166 different shows.

Waiting on ballots from quite a few who have been active in the threads! Trayce, imago, TT, mh, Brad, DJP: be part of history

deadline

I shall be tabulating final results and communicating them to rollout associates Leee and Thermo at an unspecified time over this upcoming weekend. Ballots received after Friday 9/6 Anywhere on Earth (https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth) may not make it in, so consider that your deadline.

just submitted a very 90s baby ballot

Mine was 2010/80s baby split

is "TT" me? because i sent mine in a while back.

oh you send me an email! nm!

tt not TT

Yes lol sorry

worry not, we'll be there!

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron
I'm not sure how my all time favorite animated show missed the nomination list but I'll be voting it #1 in show and theme song.

Despite not being important enough to get a shout out in the "ballots, please" list, I'll try to get something in by tomorrow.

emil.y you are absolutely important enough I just ran out of steam typing people's names I feel badly for excluding you

Aw, sorry for making you feel bad, I'm just already in a wallowing-in-self-pity mood today. Need to console myself with some '80s kids toons or something.

Half thought about doing this but I'm not sure if just typing out The Raccoons 30 times would be helpful

Crap sorry I forgot. I have a list done just not sorted, will try and finish it today.
