Why is CatDog hated in recent years?
I hated it since the beginning. Dog is so fucking annoying
Go watch the show
snowflakes hate for being "meanspirited"
>recent yearsIt was always a meh cartoon with lukewarm reception. One could go even further and say the same for half the nicktoons of that decade.
>>150349288Learn to spell
>>150349303no
>>150349070I used to watch it. It was alright, not one of my favorites, but it didn't make me change the channel.
>>150349070Compared to other Nicktoons from around the time like Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, or Spongebob (although that came out later), CatDog doesn't really have much going for it. The writing was okay, but compared to the other three, it was just boring.
>>150349070>NowMy understanding was that it was always considered middling at best, it just got a lot of attention because the executives thought it was going to be a hit.I remember reading somewhere that they had issues with production because the people who worked on Catdog were upset they didn't get to work on Spongebob.
>>150349070>in recent years?I literally never knew a kid growing up that liked it.
>One fine day with a woof and a purr..>oh boy here's the setup for a Johnny Test episode>Now they're beating up cat butt>Now they're in a soviet cartoon>Now here's some gore>Fin>Coming up next, Angry Beavers! Only on Nick
>>150349320Faggot
>>150349303>Learn to spell
>>150349303That's really more a grammar problem than a spelling one
>>150349070How do they even urinate and defecate when they lack a genital and anus?
>>150349948Each other's mouths
>>150349070wall to wall great performances, but it just wasn't funny. Just like Spongebob.also, as good as the song is, it rhymes words with themselves a lot.
>>150349070I hate these "remind you how all your childhood shows are now old and you're old you old piece of shit old person dusty old bones full of green dust piece of shit" threads.
solito en el mundo vive el pobre catdog
>>150349948Your mom
>>150349070there was no fucking reason to post the tweet with this question. the person isn't even aware of if the show is good or not, they're not saying it isn't>actually i needed to post the tweet to express that the show is 27 years old nowbecause you couldn't just grab a poster off google, put catdog is 27 years old today in the header, and then ask the fucking question?why is this shit even allowed? when it's this obviously forcing someone's tweet onto the board for literally no reason
>>150351982The OP tweet wasn't even old to watch the show, I hate zoomers so much trying to rewrite history.
Zoomers are trying to rewrite Catdog as good or bad instead of being meh. We cannot let this travesty continue.
>>150349070Even as a kid I didn’t like it. It’s too mean for kids and too juvenile for teens and adults.
>>150351874Your mom is how they urinate and defecate? Are their internal organs magically linked with your mom's internal organs, thus allowing urine and feces to transfer over? You show probably get yourself check out if your mom have this condition, it might be heredity.
>>150349070I didn't like it as a kid. I just found everyone too annoyingly meanspirited.Yes I know that's become a gay buzzword in recent years. Take it up with 8 year old me. I hated almost everyone in the show, and mostly just watched it if something I wanted to see afterwards was coming on.
>>150352080Zoomers are trying to take a side, this can't stand. The fence must endure
Didn't like it when it was airing. It wasn't funny or adventurous or really anything. It was about two misfits who hated each other (although one was too dumb to fully realize it), and a town full of people who hated them.Compare Invader Zim, which was also extremely "meanspirited" and misanthropic, but it was at least funny and things happened in it. I can't think of anything that ever happened in Catdog worth mentioning.
I liked it, especially the songs, but the CatDogabuse got old.
>>150349288No one besides mrenter uses that word, quit kidding around
Its only real legacy is this image right here...
>>150349070I loved it as a kid, because of the concept
>>150349070> in recent yearsI hated it when it aired too.
There actually was some subtle plot build over seasons, and learning about their origins/parents was a fun mystery to keep you coming back (albeit the actual origin was disappointing) Some rather smart writing and visual gags, life lessons ect were presentedAnd also, cats extra ghosts lives episode is memorable
I remember only liking the intro theme. That's it. The show was pretty meh.
>>150352080>>150352411Read >>150354691 because I'm a zoomer, I barley remember this show.
>>150349070it had its moments but overall it was honestly too miserable for its own good
>>150351874>>150352368
https://youtu.be/MLgxyu7qPUs
>>150349116At least Cat is there, I feel so bad for him dealing with everything that’s annoying from Dog
>>150349070My favorite episode is the Monster Truck one.
>>150350556White shirt, white shirt, how'd you get your shirt so white, white shirt?
>>150349755It apparently got beat in ratings by Wild Thornberrys, and they aired at the same time. CatDog was just... there.
>>150349070why do you always start threads with really obvious simple autistic questions
>>150356986
>>150352728Is it though?When was the last time Shad did anything of note?
>>150349070When CatDog first came out (it first aired on April 4th, but didn't officially begin until October 5th), it's competition was Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon NetworkI am not joking
>>150358337He didn't say it was a strong legacy.
>>150349070So where is the hate? Why not post a twitter comment that is hateful if that is the topic you want to talk about?
what's catdog's iconic catchphrase?
>>150349070I know grossout humour is a thing but I still found it grotesque.
>>150358704>Hi Ho Diggety!God, what useless knowledge.
Catdog just didn't have an interesting enough premise. Oh, so it's about a Cat/Dog hybrid creature with two heads? What do they do? What do you mean 'just normal stuff'? It was just a boring show to me as a kid. I remember watching it, but it didn't leave much of an impression.
>>150349070The only episode I remember is the one where they think the world is going to end.
bump
>>150349070>in recent years?They had it set up for a run of 100 episodes and had to pull the plug halfway because its ratings were so bad. People always hated it. If anything they hated it way more back then than they do now.
>>150349070Still better than Cow and Chicken.
>>150349070IMO, it wasnt outright terrible. But Angry Beavers was always my preferred show of the two.
>>150349070I dunno, there were some neat episodes, but I haven't watched it since I was a child and so I have no idea if they were actually neat or if that was my undeveloped taste.
>15034971It feels like they just coasted on the gimmick of the two most prominent characters being conjoined twins and foils.
>>150352728Winslow was also the only character I remember being halfway entertaining. Like the Strongbad to Homestar Runner, but not as funny.
>>150349070>Order 100 CatDog episodes >Order 6 SpongeBob episodes initially >CatDog flopped so hard they didn't do 100 episodes >SpongeBob is at over 300 episodes nowHow did executives miss the mark so badly?
>>150352462From what I've seen on /co/ over the years there are basically three episodes that people broadly like and remember>The monster truck episode where CatDog actually got to beat the shit out of everyone in a blind rage>The end of the world episode where the characters all legitimately thought the apocalypse was about to happen>The 1920s-styled prohibition parody where CatDog runs an underground speakeasy for dog treats
>>150349070I never loved CatDog. I'd watch it occasionally when it was on, but always thought of it as one of the weaker Nicktoons. The theme song is cool though yeah
>>150349070Being a meanie weenie-spirited, hateful poop cartoon as opposed to Maxwell Atoms' fartoon.
>>150352728That and giving us the Lola Caricola thirster guy who was so obsessed with wanting to see his waifu he spammed Toonzone so much over "JERKOLODEON" and got banned.Whenever you see a fan of Lola these days, they can never operate on his level.
>>150349070I liked the art direction.
>>150360902The episode where Catdog and friends play hockey against the greassers was also good.
>>150349070It was a massively inferior imitator to Angry Beavers, which did the same formula, but in funnier and more creative ways.
>>150349070MrEnter and its consequences
>>150362540CatDog was not well liked when it aired and it wasn't fondly remembered after it was gone. MrEnter has nothing to do with it.
>>150362902>>150362902Proof? It got video games, comic strips, theatrical short, game show cameos, merch, toys and VHS. Objectively speaking it was more popular than Courage the Cowardly Dog, which did not have all these.
>>150349070I found it boring as a kid I only watched through it for something better to come on. Don't like it, don't despise it. It’s eh. The greasers annoy me, though. Always have. I hate them. >>150352728This
>>150363835Nickelodeon was aggressively marketing it as a major hit, that has nothing to do with popularity. You have multiple people ITT mentioning that it was never particularly liked, some autistic youtuber has bugger all to do with that.
>>150362540You people that constantly cite Mr. Enter as the birth of all modern internet opinions regarding cartoons must somehow be even more autistic than him. I can't even imagine believing that some random person on the internet is the origin point of all commonly-held opinions.
>>150363835>Proof? It got video games, comic strips, theatrical short, game show cameos, merch, toys and VHS. Objectively speaking it was more popular than Courage the Cowardly Dog, which did not have all these.see it's funny you'd say this: not only did Nickelodeon's execs and marketing teams cramming CatDog down everyone's throats as much as they could turn out to be one of the reasons people disliked it, but the lack of all that bullshit for Courage is a reason it's still held in high esteem today. Courage didn't need to be forced.
Nielsen ratings are God and the TV industry has ignored this God for too long. They'd draw a guy in a suit obsessed with ratings and laugh at him, call him an out of touch manager, and cartoonists said "I know better, I don't need the ratings to tell me what the kiddos want", and where did that get us? Middlemost post, Tig n Seek, Future Worm.
>>150364063I always forget how fucking popular Rugrats used to be.
>>150363958>>150364012Cope, you lost. Courage had 52 episodes while all the other Cartoon Cartoons lasted longer and had movies/specials.
>>150364242>QuantityfagPost, opinion, and life discarded
Rancid Rabbit sucked.
>>150361879I'd go to bat for any episode where Lola joins the fun, because it's usually a bit different than "Catdog gets tortured by the locals for 11 minutes."Also the Adios Slowpoke episode.
>>150364007Trying to downplay all the damage Mr. Enter and his millenial cronies have done to online cartoon discourse is one of the scummiest things you can do. It was him and his ilk that turned everyone against Adventure Time, TTG, and Thundercats Roar and directly led to death threats being sent against the creators of those shows.
>>150349288It is meanspirited. They're so fucking horrible to Cat and it bothers me
>>150349070>back thenAbsolute dogshit>right nowAbsolute dogshit.Its an ugly cartoon, its settings are bleak shitholes, its jokes are unfunny and every single fucking character is a humongous asshole to each other without pause, juxtaposed in a bad way when they are trying to be serious, so its not even funny cartoon violence, just baffling and completely tone deaf. Its plots are also bad clichés or just outright boring.Add that it was airing right next to some of the best cartoons ever made, sometimes even competing for the same timeslot and you can see why it was such a dumpster fire.
>>150365906>Trying to downplay all the damage Mr. Enter and his millenial cronies have done to online cartoon discourse is one of the scummiest things you can do.There are far scummier things you could be doing on the internet. Things we could all be doing.
>>150349070It felt like another desperate attempt by Nickelodeon to recapture the success of Ren & Stimpy but don't exactly know what made Ren & Stimpy a good show in the first place. Also here's a fun fact Nickelodeon ordered 100 episodes of that over SpongeBob which at the time was only ordered 10 episodes for the first season
>>150349070What made Rocko a better show than CatDog? Both shows had a premise of the main character/characters struggling in a messed up worldHonestly, of the Nicktoons, I always thought of Rocko as the closest one to CatDog because the basic premise of struggling remind me of one another
>>150349070Extraordinarily unmemorable with 'humor' much more focused on beating characters (especially Cat) down with little payoff rather than clever writing. A shame, because I think a show centered around conjoined twins could be a genuinely interesting premise, just not in the way they went about it.
>>150366303>What made Rocko a better show than CatDog?Visually appealing. Genuinely likable characters. Actually funny. The list goes on. You have to be retarded to even compare the two in quality.
>>150349070I noticed when CatDog is brought up online, nobody has anything to say about Eddie the SquirrelIs there anything noteworthy about him?
>>150363835And they all sucked and then the show got cancelled. What's your point?
>>150349070>recent years>implying
>>150364007I could understand if he was some massively popular e-celeb whose videos were racking up tens of millions of views, but Enter has never been that popular. Even now his stuff that's been out for a decade struggles to clear 100k views while his new stuff struggles to clear 25k. He was only ever remotely successful when he was infamously spergy and he didn't even talk about Catdog at that time.
>>150349070CatDog seems to be one of the more popular 90s Nicktoons if Nick airing it for years on that late 90s nostalgia block Teennick had is any indication (for a time, it aired every night), plus CatDog was on all the nostalgia shirts Nick released and they even released some nostalgia plush of CatDog in recent years
>>150367399Yeah the Enter stuff on this board is really fucking weird, dude was C-list at his absolute peak. This isn't like Pewdiepie or some shit.
>>150367717>CatDog seems to be one of the more popular 90s NicktoonsIt wasn't.
>>150349116>>150357094>>150365916Same. Maybe it's cause I've always been a cat person, but the show just gets on my nerves. Same way I never liked Tom and Jerry or the Itchy and Scratchy shorts in the Simpsons.
>>150349070>recentlol dumb nigga no one liked this show back then which is how the lesser known spongebob took over as the actual flagship show
I just watched CatDog to get to like...Angry Beavers or something.CatDog was middling at best. It's one of the few "the characters were mean" is a legit flaw, cuz no one was likable or even an entertaining jerk-ass.Rocko and The Angry Beavers did much better with similar concepts.
>>150349070I've mentioned it in previous threads before, but I have a distinct memory of the teacher wheeling the TV into class one day and turning on Nickelodeon during that "it's the end of the year and nobody gives a fuck anymore" part of the school year, and literally the entire classroom erupting into boos because CatDog was on. This shit ain't recent.
>>150349070I never hated CatDog
>>150360898You cant really predict whats going to be bigger,DW thought Prince of Egypt would be bigger than Shrek, Disney thought Pocahontas would be bigger than Lion King
>>150362540Ah yes the zoomer "everyone loved the prequels until Mr. Plinkett" revisionism.
>>150368844Do people actually think this? I remember watching those videos with some friends when they came out and our reaction was basically a collective "Holy fuck he's perfectly articulating WHY everyone hates the prequels".
>>150349070CatDog is not bad, but it's one of those shows from way back then that really made your younger self wish that something else you were more interested in was on at that moment, similar to The Wild Thornberrys, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and Hey Dude.
>>150369038>Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and Hey Dude.Wasn't that before Catdog existed.
>>150369083Reruns
>>150369038The Wild Thornberries was actually a lot of fun and I never got the hate. Nigel's a national treasure.
>>150349070fun fact in the japanese dub Cat is dubbed by Katsuyuki Konishi, yes Cat is voiced by Kamina and Diavolo.
It was amusing at times, though it kind of felt like an inferior Cow & Chicken, right down to how the rabbit dude was basically like the Red Guy, except not as gay and actually wearing clothes, but otherwise having the same general gimmick of "this fucker is everywhere"
>>150369139I don't think that the Wild Thornberries was "bad", but it definitely had bad qualities like it could get a little preachy.
>>150349070because like Rocko it depicted the world as an ugly disgusting dysgenic placeits the same premise, the main character is tortured by the world in absurd ways every episode
It's not even that the show is 'mean spirited' or ugly, or anything like thatPlenty of other shows had similar settings and premisesIt's that the humor was mediocre to the point it turned everything blandThere wasn't anything entertaining enough to justify wading through the shittiness of the world presented
>>150370120At least Rocko's entire premise was "main character is frustrated with modern life", which is something immediately relatable.
>>150370120>>150370201Also for what it's worth, Rocko regularly won out and managed to tell modern life to go fuck itself. CatDog won like, twice in the entire course of the show.
>>150370281Rocko never won. His life resets every episode in the same hell. Just like CatDog.
>>150368566I like both shows, but Norbert treated Daggett much worse that either Cat or Dog treated each other, the thing is that everyone else in the city fucking hates Cat for some reason
>>150370298The town are literal bigots. Of the "we don't cotton to freaks around here" type.It's really retarded. If they disliked Catdog because Cat is an autistic asshole, I'd understand, but they just hate Cat and Dog equally.
>>150367812More episodes than Rocko, Doug, Real Monsters, Kablam, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers,
>>150370346That only means executives liked it.
>>150360902I remember liking the surfing competition episode, the episode where Cat and Dog dreamed they were separate, and the TV movie where they reunited with their adopted parents.
i can't see catdog anymore without remembering the family guy scene where peter asks how catdog is supposed to shit
>>150370290You know what I mean, he wins in certain episodes. Don't be daft.
>>150370537Rocket Power had more episodes than all these, and it sucked harder.
>>150370614I don't remember that shit so it must have not been important. I remember him being tortured every episode.
>>150370624Rocket Power was one of the most artificial corporate shows ever to air on Nick, riding entirely off of the back of the 90's extreme sports fad. I'm surprised they didn't title it "Rocket Power X".
>>150369139Thank you for bringing back this vintage /co/ legend
>>150370677the art wasn't the problem with klasky csupo cartoons the shit writing and nonexistent pacing were the problem
>>150370346And it still had lower viewership than literally every other show airing at the time.
With Catdog, the show basically teaches us to hate the main characters. Almost all of the characters hate Catdog for little reason. Dog is fucking annoying, Cat has to put up with it and is usually in the wrong for being against dogs antics. If everyone got their lumps fairly equally like ed, edd and eddy, it wouldn't get as much hate as it does. But it is just a below average nicktoon that somehow lasted as long as it did.
>>150370834Nice source faggot.
>>150370915Go and prove him wrong then, retard.
>>150370915>>150370924We're waiting.
>>150349070im surprised catdog doesn’t get any love for having the perfect example of a tomboy
>>150371213https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/catdog-ratings-6891/?BTFO, retarded zoomers.
>>150371282Zoomers destroyed >>150352080
>>150352080It was worse than 'meh'. I actively changed the channel whenever it was on.
>>150360898Because only 1 important exec liked CatDog while every other exec was excited for SpongeBob. The moment that executive left, it was over for SpongeBob.
Why is this show so forgotten? Is it just the weak concept?
>>150364280>le less is le better fagkys
>>150371609yeah all those kids back in the 90s said "too woke, change the channel!"
https://youtu.be/6qYdpOGTkYQ let's watch some catdog
>>150371628More episode than Courage.
https://youtu.be/-ho9qWwX6wo woooo cat dog
>>150364234For real, the first movie was made on a budget of 24mil, you wanna know how much it raked in at the end of its run? $140mil.
>>150364063Were ratings for adult networks that bad?
>>150368710You could start by just assuming anything with brown characters in it is going to flop. It works reasonably well as a barometer.
>>150371282To be fair, this is just fan ratings, not actual viewing ratings. But yeah, the idea that that Catdog was well-liked or a fan-favorite, or anything but a reliable slot filler isn't really supported.I've gone back to rewatch my old favorite childhood cartoons from this era and found a lot of them to still be good, but not Catdog. I doubt most of the people saying they remember loving the show have actually revisited it.
>>150349070It's a show where you want to punch everyone that isn't Catdog.
>>150371774Cartoon channels really were one of the top genres on cable until about 2014. Now they're all below the weather channel.
>>150349070Why were they Cat and Dog at the same time?
anti-spam bump
"guy who has a chip on his shoulder for years over everyone else not liking CatDog" is such a good bit I may have to steal it
>>150368330i think the comparison to tom and jerry is flimsy because in a lot of it Tom is an instigator and/or is just an asshole that makes it hard to root for him. Plus a lot of it is still exaggeratedly cartoonish slapstick. CatDog didn't quite feel cartoonish enough, there was some weird sense of groundedness and the overall sleazy cast made it worse.
>>150370647He did end up with a win at the end more often than not, and at least others were there to take the pies to the face too like Filburt and Ed Bighead. In CatDog, 80% of the time it's Cat and exclusively Cat getting fucked over
>>150370875Ok Mr enter....
>>150373266It's easily done for other shows too. Maybe I should try "umm guys Wacky World of Tex Avery doesn't deserve the hate it gets".
>>150370875>the show basically teaches us to hate the main characters.More like it teaches the viewer to be paranoid and pre-emptively distrust the people around them. Most of Catdog's suffering is caused by the almost universally dickish side characters who seem to shit on them whenever possible, like the asshole mouse, or the asshole greasers, or the asshole green rabbit. Even when Cat and Dog argue amongst themselves and take turns being dicks to each other it's usually because outside factors and shitty side characters pushed them to that point. That's how I remember it anyway.
Most comedy cartoons mainly coast off their premise to be remembered unless they have very memorable writing, the main thing someone thinks when they hear a cartoon's name is the "concept", when you hear Rugrats you think "the show about babies going on adventures from their childish points of view", when you hear Dexter's Laboratory you think of "the show about the genius kid who creates inventions and uses them to do stuff", when you hear CatDog you think "the show about two conjoined animals" but aside from that the premise is mostly normalCatDog was also competing in the crowed "zany urban animal cartoon" from the 90s and it just got overshadowed.
>>150349070How much are you willing to bet that when CatDog premiered, more people watched Dragon Ball Z in the timeslot? Again, CatDog premiered in DBZ's timeslot back then and this was when DBZ had just started airing on Cartoon Network
>>150371609
Am I the only one who liked CatDog more than Angry Beavers? I thought the latter was kind of boring.
>>150349116all of the characters are annoying. rancid rabbit seemed like a poor attempt at ripping off cow and chicken's red guy. the only one I remember liking was Mr Sunshine.
>>150357184>hank had a bully.>and a weird one at that.
>>150350254>"That's some kind of living hell, Brian!"
>>150358752I mean there were a handful of episodes that were about how being connected was a problem for them, but it wasn't relevant in most episodes which made the entire premise kinda strange.
>>150375820Weird that Family Guy of all shows referenced this cartoon.
>>150376111I always like when they reference unpopular stuff that isn't just 80's movies.
>>150373266Sadly, most likely its a genuine autismo, possibly even that lolafag.
>>150349070Anyone find it an odd coincidence that this show and Bear in the Big Blue House are the only two shows with blue mice that live in the hole of the main characters house and they premiered a year apart from each other?
>>150375764Angry Beavers had a much stronger cast of characters, IMO.
>>150349288I mean, winslow found catdog being a baby and decided becoming a bully instead of a father, everybody is an asshole in the series but in a very boring way
Does anyone feel sad for Peter Hanna? This was his only cartoon and its widely regarded as one of the worst Nicktoons. He has no idea and constantly shills it on his Instagram.
>>150377202It just pushes viewers into apathy. What is the point if everyone is an asshole? The main characters are assholes, the supporting characters are all violent assholes, the recurring characters are assholes, the background characters are assholes, even the oneshot characters are assholes and every single interaction in the show is assholes being huge assholes to each other. Why would I care about anything if its just a wall of asshole behavior without pause or purpose. Its not even funny cartoon violence, nor there is a moment of positivity here and there. Just pure asshole, set in a bleak shithole hellscape. I have literally never met a single person ever since, even as a kid who liked it and I knew kids who liked the weirdest of bargain bin trash. Not a single one of them even said catdog was okay, everyone without a single exception univocally hated it. I rewatched it recently and its just insane how tone deaf it is, Ren and Stimpy comes off LESS assholes, because its atleast unhinged and funny. catdog has this undercurrent of strange realism, where they are just living in a town, hated by everyone, getting beaten up daily and getting bullied in even in their own home by assholes. Rocko made it funny and he friends who genuinely cared about him, he had wins and he was optimistic about the whole thing. catdog literally never wins once and it constantly gets rubbed in their face, they have no friends and no allies whatsoever. I could go on comparing it with other cartoons, but I think its obvious. Even in Angry Beavers, which people dislike for shitting on Daggett all the time, they still lived in a comfy ass home, liked each other, had friends and got wins all the time and Dag was not a victim who gets shat on all the time.>>150377211Absolutely not. Few people get shots as good as him. He failed his chance and he plateaued with a shitty cartoon.
>>150352080It was okT. Zillenial from 1999
>>150349755>>150349291These.Slightly different topic. Which show handled the sapient animals eating each other bit better?
>>150349116I like the show but concur, The dog was a fucking retard and ruined the cat's day for no reason all the time
>>150376638Unfortunately for him, this board doesn't support huge colored text so he can't go on his colorful rants about Jerk Babies, Jerk Arnold, etc.
>>150349070> recent yearsEveryone has always hated Catdog. even while it was airing.
>>150377318At least Dog had the excuse of being retarded and rarely escalating things. A lot of the characters in the show just fucking hated CatDog for literally no reason even when both of them were working together to try and make themselves come off as pleasant as possible. Like they could dress up in a suit and use the most polite language imaginable with no ulterior motives whatsoever and still end up getting tossed in a dumpster. "Mean-spirited" gets tossed around a lot these days but part of the reason the show didn't work is because 99% of the time the characters had zero reason to actually hate CatDog, other shows like EEnE at least have the main characters scamming kids to explain it, or Rocko's Modern Life has Rocko push back if he gets undo shit. CatDog is just "Watch CatDog get the tar beaten out of them for trying to be decent people".
"Recent"?

>>150349070Which is Cat and Which is Dog?
>>150349288It's very nasty, mean and ugly show without being funny, I hated it even at the time when I found early South Park the best shit ever
>>150377247Do you like Ranma or Early Dragonball? What about Ed, Edd and Eddy?Autismo much Jhon Enter?
At least the Latino theme stuckhttps://youtu.be/EjHjxuEJBrk?feature=shared
>>150364007THIS, the last time he was relevant was when people made fun of him over his turning red review 4 years ago, this board has him as a weird boogeyman when he's just a nobody who ragged on shitty cartoons a decade ago
>>150349070I remember thinking it was just ok. I never really intentionally sat down to watch it, but if it came on between shows I did want to watch I'd keep watching.

>>150349070It comes from a certain sort of "Artist" who emphasizes the I sound into a EE. For example, classic King of the Hill, bobby goes to clown community college, the professor he gets who hyperfixates tragedy and dismisses happiness as not artistically sound and convinces Bobby to do a character that's a dog being abused.It's no wonder that spongebob won.
>>150349070This show got picked up for a pilot literally because of its theme songIt was originally just a series of shorts, but the execs LOVED the theme song so much, they wanted a pilot for a TV series, rather than having it be shorts between shows. Peter Hannan hadn't done much progress on making the series during this time. The series never had a pitch bible
>>150381529What the fuck are you even rambling about, retard.
>>150382792So did they just pull shit out of their ass every episode?
>>150349070My mother hated this show and didnt want me to watch it as a kidI watched itWasnt that good
>MrEnter>MrEnter>MrEnter>MrEnterFaggots without opinions of their own seethe about imaginary people that only get their opinions from an eceleb no one fucking cares about
>>150383045And the shit they pulled out literally was just "other characters hate catdog and beat them up". Like, what the fuck else is even there? Their relationship is very rarely explained, most of the time they are just fucking each other over, they don't go on adventures, they don't strive to achieve anything, they have no goals, they are just there, like a sack of shit getting pummeled and shit talked, even in their own home. I genuinely don't know whats even the hook there, the fact that they are, y know a Catdog barely even comes up, there were only a handful episodes doing anything with it from the hundred.>>150383129Good parenting.>>150382792You'd think the HUNDRED FUCKING EPISODES would have been time enough to develop something, or react all the proverbial boos of the audience and make something of the show, take it some direction, develop a style, anything. Look at how much other cartoons wobble around during their first season, until they find their footing, the thing that works and how often later seasons are even more different and refined. Not Catdog though, it remained coherent like a laser from the first episode to the last, never changing anything. Its almost admirable in its fierce dedication to being dogshit. I don't know if it was the showrunner phoning in or the managers being so precise and consistent with their shitty demands, but I'd love to know the specifics of it going down, how could you make such an utterly charmless, boring and bleak cartoon. Look at Rocket Power from the same era. Despite being klaskyshit and the most hamfisted X-treme Kool Sportz 90s shit, it still manages to have some soul, have some artistic core somewhere, have some likable or memorable characters and even deliver a handful of entertainment. It was not good, but atleast it bled out on the ground actively trying out things, trying to adapt to demands.

The vore in the movie was hot.

>>150383400>picked up for a whopping 100 episodes right out of the gatelmao The retard in this thread bragging about how many episodes it got and it actually got less than they greenlit it for. Some executive gambled and lost hard on this one, getting them stuck making a stale turd of a show that only really ended because even the creator was sick of making it and left.
>>150349070https://catdog1st.tripod.com/CatDog_Petition.htmlApparently Peter Hannan was disappointed that Nick put an end to production on the show. He wanted to do more CatDog stories and still had plenty in his head
>>150383721I hate corporate morons like this. Some guy 30 years ago thinks of a dumb gimmick that played off well in a board room, some poor showrunner has to make it work, it doesn't, and here we are debating on whether it was good or not.

>>150349070This show had some great fat scenes
>>150349291I disagree
>>150352080It was very good though
>>150349070Why is Teeth for Two one of the most remembered episodes of CatDog? I've seen it pop up in a couple videos on YouTube, more than I can say for most other episodes of CatDog
