Once archive sites for Deviantart, Twitter, YouTube and other sites are finally made and when Warner Brothers finally releases all of their other Cartoon Network shows and movies that haven't been released yet, I will be.
Do you have an opinion on that "MeTV" animation streaming/channel thing coming out? I am curious.
I might see myself watching that someday. Sounds cool!

I've been listening to some Weird Al lately that I wish I knew existed back then. You can thank ModWalletGuy for bringing me into listening to more of his music than the 4 songs I knew him for(Everything You Know Is Wrong, Can't Watch This, Hardware Store, Albuquerque):
I've also been listening to Rush, which is a band I wish I knew existed back in my childhood as well.
PRE-EDIT: Ahhh, they're a Canadian rock band! Glad to know that I have knowledge that Canadian music is more than just Justin Bieber!

We actually got our first Weird Al Yankovic CD as a family in Christmas...2006 maybe? Many great memories even if I barely knew the songs it was referencing. Ebay was the family favorite I think. Also Weird Al's Constipated in a World of Warcraft animation style was among the first videos I EVER watched on Youtube

As far as I know, it looks like they're trying to do Boomerang again, but with more variety.
One of the kids in my second grade class watched the block too. But, he watched the way more questionable things on there. He also bullied me for watching age appropriate stuff.
Yeah in my case, at my school, people found ways to get around "prudish adults" fairly easily by just "sharing and caring." Not though the internet, it was mostly too early for that, but like getting that "one kid" to get that R rated DVD or M rated game or controversial young adult book or "parental guidance" CD and letting it make naturally make its rounds around the school, hidden away in the backs of lockers, under jackets, hidden under schoolbooks and in pouches, in other CD or DVD cases, etc. I guess people were just REALLY good at hiding their tracks because I was at that school for years and I don't recall a single person actually getting in trouble for that.
Oddly enough too, my parent would chastise me for watching to watch a PG-13/R comedy BUT also not let me watch something like The Piglet Movie or Hamtaro. And no teen dramas or more mature adult dramas, because those were also too inappropriate! Like, I don't know what they expected me to watch. I could only watch our family movie DVDs so many times before I wanted new stuff.
My quite strict family banned me from crap tons of TV shows, movies, etc. and when they didn't, we didn't have physical access. Having (mostly) only 2 network TVs (no cable) and barely any internet access (outside of a dial up family computer) into the late 00s was something else. We did rent and get movies from the library, but obviously parents had the final say and they often said NO. AND that is why, me, someone in their 30s, is watching Drake and Josh and ICarly for the first time on Netflix LOL
EDIT And guys I am low key ugly crying at the ICarly finale now
Wasn't ICarly one of those abuse shows owned by Dan Schneider??
Not exactly an abuse show, Dan was known for having a temper at times but AFAIK nobody on the set ever got sexually harassed or anything like that. If that was the case Jeanette would've definitely said something in her book about it.

But still either way iCarly had nowhere near a squeaky clean,picture perfect production.Same with Zoey101.

Can't verify for sure (since I wasn't there of course), but I personally know someone who has worked in media many, many years at this point (and happened to score a spot on a Disney show set for a while) and she claimed that the sets for Disney kids shows are an absolute nightmare-the biggest thing was the adults just nonstop SCREAMING and YELLING at the kids constantly. For hours upon hours upon HOURS a day. She said she understood why so many of them "go crazy later."

Yeah I can see why Demi Lovato ended up the way she did(still bummed Sonny with a Chance had to end early nevertheless)
Anyways speaking of Disney I finally finished the Lilo and Stitch series today, I watched that show at my grandmothers house back in the day but was never able to see all the episodes. I started a couple of years ago but kinda got sidetracked with other stuff so I finally finished it tonight and overall i'd say the show still holds up, hell I actually like it even more now and it actually has me excited for that live-action remake of the film as unlike most Disney movies there's actually quite a bit of room in the narrative for the remake to expand upon(Lilo's parents for example)so i'm looking forward to seeing that later this year as soon as it drops on Plus.

They had foot fetish stuff of kids in it.
Kids do like weird stuff like feet though so I don't necessarily think the presence of them in a show inherently makes it sexual or inappropriate(just like the presence of LGBTQ people period does not automatically make something sexual) and I will say if you're going based on that Quiet on the Set doc that many people involved in that have since criticized Discovery and that documentary as a whole for taking things they said out of context:
Not defending Dan by any means, I just feel like too often when discussions of these shows come up people tend to needlessly fixate on the foot stuff as opposed to Dan having a short fuse and taking out it out on the cast and crew which for me is a way bigger concern then a few close-ups of feet, just my two cents. Even some of the people that were involved in Dan's shows think people are making too big of a deal about the foot thing and I agree with them, for me foot stuff isn't anywhere near on the same level as what say Drake Bell went through at the hands of Peck and I feel unsettled by people equating the two(Which Quiet on the Set seems to love doing).
Don't get me wrong I get why some people have an issue with that sort of thing, I just don't think the presence of feet automatically makes something an abuse show, I think that's a bit much personally.

Honestly I should consider rerewatching this show at some point:
The theme song is annoying, but I remember the actual show itself being... decent? It wasn't GOOD per se, but it wasn't terrible either. I think I only saw like, 9 episodes of this show. Netflix didn't even have season 3 when I did rewatch it after only seeing it ONCE on Cartoon Network(which also didn't air the 3rd season, this was a YTV import & not a co-production with Cartoon Network unlike other Canadian cartoons such as the Total Drama series & Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy). The title character wasn't too bad of a character, but I swear, his skunk sidekick(ok, lemme look this up: his name is Dave) was such a nuisance. I feel like I will sympathize with Nestor once I do rerewatch this show.
EDIT: You know what, f*** it, I will definitely be rerewatching it. There exists some playlists on YouTube with the episodes in like... airing order? production order? IDK, I guess the former.

Oh goodness, this looks like one of those mid 00s-early 2010s shows that would air only at like 1 or 2 PM on a weekday afternoon! I was always curious about these kinds of shows (Secret Saturdays, Yakkity Yak, this one apparently) that I would see on the schedule/TV guide but never got around to watching them. No idea that this one was Canadian.
And yeah streaming gets...weird. I guess I kind of get the concept of putting "preview" seasons on Netflix, and hosting/ownership rights do get weird, but it still gets me ornery to have to get another streaming service JUST to properly finish a show. Ugh.
And yeah, always worth giving it a shot to see if it "holds up", or even if you end up liking it better. Sometimes shows grow on you once you rewatch them at an older age and with more perspective.
