Topic: Next Cartoon Comeback Posted: July 13 2010 at 14:42
They've already brought Family Guy (unfortunately) and Futurama (hooray) back from the grave.
Which prematurely cancelled cartoon should be next?
note: no childrens cartoons
another note: if someone specifies "The Oblongs" I will personally drive to your house and bunch you in the brain
My vote goes to The Critic but Clerks wouldn't be too far behind. The Clerks cartoon was great because it didn't have that awful Kevin Smith stink all over it.
Time always wins.

I agree, Family Guy is puke, Futurama is great.
Anyways, I vote for The Critic. Didn't last very long, either. But it was great.

I've actually only seen Home Movies of those (that includes the Oblongs). Never did the Clerks toon even though I liked the movies.

Okay, I'm in the dark completely, here.
What's so funny about The Critic?

Idk, they work for me. Maybe you need to update flash or something?

Ren and Stimpy. The Adult Party cartoons were pretty good, but I missed Billy West doing Stimpy's voice.

The show ran for four years, or something like that. It's not like it didn't have a good run.
Besides, once John K was pushed out of the project, it would have ran out of steam, anwyay.

YES.
This one made me "vibrate" at the end of each episode, but I liked it.

It made me feel squiggly all over.
Plus having all his patients be played by actual stand up comics was neat.
