I tend to be pretty bipolar when it comes to TV shows; if I don’t really like it, then I really hate it. Over the years, I have seen some pretty awful excuses for entertainment. Normally, the commercials drive me away or I only see less than a handful of episodes, but there are a few programs that I watched enough to feel like I shouldn't have watched them in the first place.
Chowder: A “cat/bear/rabbit” wants to become a chef, but has no talent or common sense. He is almost always responsible for the episodic conflict, but he is neither truly remorseful for his actions, nor capable of undoing them by the end of the episode. I also hated the show for its vulgar surrealism and how it couldn’t decide whether it was a cartoon, a claymation, or a puppet show.
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: A whale finds a ridiculously cheerful boy who has amnesia and a few screws loose, and she lets him live in his mouth. A mostly wooden pirate takes the boy on dangerous “adventures” that accomplish almost nothing. The art style was horrendous, and the secondary characters were crazy in a bad way.
Total Drama Island: Take 22 teenagers who are apathetic because they are moronic, insane, self-centered, or some combination of the three. Add a host with a big ego and no sympathy for anyone but himself. Let the host torture the teenagers by making them perform disgusting or unhealthy challenges for the sake of spoofing the reality show genre. I have nothing against Canadian animation as a whole, but this should have stayed north of the border.
Regular Show: It's about an immature adult child and his even less mature best friend. They want to avoid doing work because they're lazy. (I'm not the most productive person on the planet, but I at least try to do something with my life.) They go on madcap, bizarre adventures just because they can. The series features boatloads of 90's culture and over-the-top deaths in attempt to make itself look "HARDKORE"(tm). In short, Regular Show is anything but entertaining.
Venters gotta vent.
