I'd personally be in no hurry to see a Camp Lazlo reboot without the series creator being involved in it's production. Lazlo was never as good as Rocko was anyway.Goldstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846460632113045285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-29186642681819216202017-06-28T15:40:52.512-04:002017-06-28T15:40:52.512-04:00@hobbyfan: There was indeed.

I saw it; it was fun, the Nick producers treated the '87 characters with a lot more respect and reverence than 4Kids did in their crossover with the 2003 Turtles, "Turtles Forever". My main nitpick with "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" is that it seemed a tad rushed; probably should've been a 2-parter or an hour special.<br /><br />And yeah, the lack of the creator's involvement should be a HUGE red flag when a reboot is announced.Silverstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280038939450999273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-67161491969036732532017-06-28T13:49:22.920-04:002017-06-28T13:49:22.920-04:00@Silverstar: I think there was a crossover that br...@Silverstar: I think there was a crossover that brought the current TMNT incarnation together with the 1987 version recently. Shows the respect that the producers have for the franchise. Too bad the same cannot be said for CN.<br /><br />@Steven: If recently history is any barometer in re: the pending relaunch of Camp Lazlo, and if the original creator isn't involved, expect to be disappointed again.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-8490430208708613562017-06-28T09:56:01.169-04:002017-06-28T09:56:01.169-04:00If CN is going to make a reboot of an old show, th...If CN is going to make a reboot of an old show, then they need to make it live up to the original.

If you change anything about the show, then you incur the wrath of the nostalgic older fans, and if the kiddos don't gravitate toward the show, then it's Game Over, Man, and the whole venture was for naught.<br /><br />While some producers can find that sweet spot where the reboot appeals to both old and new fans alike, many more can't, and CN seems to fall into the latter category. Honestly, some of CN's concepts wouldn't be so bad if they didn't feel the need to pander so much. Teen Titans GO!'s premise actually has potential (a purely comedic take on the 2003 TT series focusing on the superheroes' down time), but the network chose to handle the show in very sloppy, ADHD manner, caring little for the characters or genuine humor. What I've seen of PPG 2016 seems to be running along that same average. I haven't seen this new Ben 10 show, as that show was never really my jam, so I can't comment on that.Silverstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280038939450999273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-18873172580836676322017-06-27T22:29:01.268-04:002017-06-27T22:29:01.268-04:00As I said, I'm disappointed, and I should be u...As I said, I'm disappointed, and I should be used to that, considering that CN has insisted on dumbing down their product of late, thinking their target audience has a short attention span. I've read of negative comments about the Powerpuff Girls' reboot, almost as much haterizing as for Teen Titans Go, and it's sad.<br /><br />Steven is just miserable with all reboots.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-17455775359175394072017-06-27T21:32:15.713-04:002017-06-27T21:32:15.713-04:00Steven, you've mentioned before that you'r...Steven, you've mentioned before that you're not a fan of these CN reboots, we get it. So just don't watch them; if you're old enough to remember the original Ben 10 series, then this reboot wasn't made for you in the first place. If you prefer the original shows, then just watch the originals. Just don't watch the reboot if it's not to your liking. It's not drugs; it's pretty easy to quit.Silverstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280038939450999273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-87600182361337780322017-06-27T19:19:22.723-04:002017-06-27T19:19:22.723-04:00I've only looked at the one episode.
