Same thing with the Powerpuff Girls. Also, Nickelodeon had its share of shows like that (shouldn't have been labeled a kids' show). Ren and Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life come to mind.

Pretty much all of 90's Nick was teen/adult but advertised as kids. TeenNick has been doing this "90's are All That" programming after midnight the last few years. They cycle through a lot of different shows. They've had Rugrats, Rocko, Keenan and Kel, Clarissa Explain's It All, Salute Your Shorts, Pete and Pete, Hey Arnold. Some they show more than others, but it's great to see some old shows, but sad at the same time because it makes you realize how bad the quality is for the modern cartoons.

Cartoon Network has some decent adult/kid cartoons. Regular Show has a lot of hidden jokes and I've heard Adventure Time is a good one too, though I've never watched.

Gordon Ramsay to end Kitchen Nightmares, both in the US and UK.

I've been making my way through the British series on Netflix (they took the US one off in the last year apparently) and it's downright funny how different the two are. British KN is almost like a documentary. US KN is the stereotypical Fox reality show with dramatic music and sound effects, and over polarization of personality.

Is Gordon an a-hole in the British version? Of course! But he's a nice a-hole. The way he's portrayed in the American version is just so over the top, coupled with the fact that Fox still used the bleeps even on Netflix, made it almost impossible to watch.

It's weird for me to see Keenan on SNL because I keep expecting them to cut to Lori Beth Denberg...

And Adventure Time is *ing weird. But Regular Show is funny.

Really enjoying the swashbuckling and delicious humor of The Musketeers on BBC America.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Ok I am over halfway through Season two of Orange...this season has almost none of the charm of season one. It is almost a chore to continue it. If the ending isnt amazing I wont be sticking around for season 3.

Rubette and one of her close friends have agreed that if the series ended after S2, they'd be fine with it, BUT if S3 (which I have been told is being made) was going to happen, it better be dam good.

The wife and I are late to the party and are binge-watching Veep on HBOGO. It's pretty enjoyable; like if House of Cards were reimagined as a comedy.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

The future looks bleak for Halt and Catch Fire. Over 1.1 million people tuned in to the premiere but that was down to just 575,000 last Sunday - the lowest rating AMC has ever gotten for a new episode of a Sunday night drama. Unless things turn around in a hurry, it won't see a second season.

Which is disappointing because it's actually pretty good. I've watched them all so far.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Finished Season 2 of OITNB...the last 3 episodes or so are good but the rest were total filler. The season stretched out the stories too long and past the point of interesting. I highly doubt I will watch a season 3 if there is one because at this point I dont really care about any of the characters or where their journey leads them anymore. Sad really, the first season was so awesome...

4 or 5 episodes in and I'm not yet impressed. Some of the background stories are fantastic, but a lot of it just seems silly to me.

I think you can apply the same thinking to how the characters are written. Some (the Nun, Nicky) are very well written and others (most of the COs, the guy who is somehow not engaged to a pie) are just really lazily written.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

The Nun's background story is lame. There was really no point to her entire origin which made me mad because I thought she was interesting. Piper got annoying in Season 2, Alex was worthless...outisde of Red and Nikki I am not sure whose character really evolved much.

I haven't seen her background yet (not yet halfway through S1). But her scenes with Sophia were very well written, and I like that she's not a caricature (unlike a lot of the other characters we've met in the prison so far... quite a few of them I'd be happy to see stay in the background).

Piper is already annoying, but I think it helps that she's seemingly intended to be an annoying, oversensitive, uber-WASP that's definitely a product of the hyper self-involved world she came from. She's clearly supposed to be that way and it makes her character interesting, which is more than I can say about Ugly Teeth Girl and quite a few of the ethnic characters (that are clearly there just to be bad stereotypes).
