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

*surreal humour, maybe. If there’s a difference?

Anyway, I can’t wait to see that anime about the princely girl and the rose queen.

Really digging Gravity Falls now, Mabel is my hero, and the theme song is definitely making my ballot.

when ppl talk about voting for R&S itt seems reasonable to assume they are voting solely based on the first season and a half, which really are amazing cartoons.

oh shit, the deadline is coming up. will hastily assemble a list

can theme songs only come from nominated series?

wanna vote for that catdog theme

ren and stimpy is a tough call because the cartoons (the early, good ones) do hold up beautifully, and a lot of non-awful ppl were involved in their making. but the fact that their creator used them to groom his victims makes it hard for me to vote for it.

i watched some of john k's later cartoons before he was outed as a predator, and they are probably some of the worst cartoons i've ever seen -- not funny, weird timing, incredibly inappropriate adult humor. i saw about 30 seconds of his R&S revival and that was more than enough for me.

as with series themselves, theme songs can be from unnominated works but you risk your vote being discounted if I can't figure out what you mean.

I believe I have 5 ballots so far! Surely there's at least 20 of you floating around waiting to vote.

i'm doing due diligence and finally watching eva this week before i vote

i've been watching stuff too as if my potential ballot needed to be any longer. eventually i'm going to have to prune 40 show down to 25. (it was hard enough getting the list down to 40)

btw if I end up being the only Homestar Runner voter you're all fired

do u like happy tree friends too? i nom'd it but it won't make my list unfortunately i'd love to vote for them all if i could

nah I never got into that

xp i wouldn't worry about that

I wish I had time to watch a bunch of stuff before I made my own ballot but it's probably not happening.

I voted. For this poll, I checked out 10 series I hadn't seen before, and 5 of them ended up in my ballot. I'm glad that Steven Universe and Bee and Puppycat are now in my life.

August 25th is a soft deadline, need confirmation on the actual deadline

Was David The Gnome actually good? How about the original TMNT? X-Men? Etc... I will vote some of these because of nostalgia but I have at least 10 shows from the past decade that I know are good so I don’t really care. I probably will even put Garfield And Friends on my list (I haven’t started).

Oh hey, David The Gnome wasn’t even on the nom list. I’m voting for it anyways.

The hard deadline will come with an unknown amount of warning sometime between Sunday evening and the end of the end of time.

It’s entirely #valid to vote for Garfield and Friends just to honor the inimitable Lorenzo Music

garfield and friends was good

Secret fact: I know G&F was good and own a few seasons on DVD

it features garfield's famous catchphrase, "they should be dragged out into the street and shot"

Damn that's cold, Garfield

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.
