So here's how it works: a while back, Marty26 started a thread asking if he was the only one who hates the "Overture, This Is It" theme from The Bugs Bunny Show. Now, it's time for all GAC-ers to ask if they are the "only ones" about anything cartoon-related. The next replier will anser whether or not they are the only one. Then, the replierk an other question for the next replier to answer. So on and so forth.

I'll start.

Am I the only one who thinks that John K. commentaries are hilarious?:D (On Ren and Stimpy, Popeye, and LTGC)

Eh, they're not good, but not horrible. So, I somewhat agree with you.

Am I the only one who think that the seasons Mike Scully showran for the Simpsons weren't THAT bad?

Am I the only one who likes the Nicktoon My Life as a Teenage Robot (okay, it wasn't that good of a show, but I have fond memories of it, as well as the fact that I love the character designs)?

No, not at all! Not the best Nicktoon, but it was enjoyable!

Am I the only one who REALLY enjoys Sailor Moon to the extent of learning more about it (NOT the English version, the original Japanese version)?

I have vague memories of watching Sailor Moon when living in Japan, but I was more of a Dragon Ball fan (not anymore, but when I was 6, I did).

Am I the only one who finds "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack" creepy but enjoyable?

Do you remember what episodes/moments you saw? I'm curious to know. And yeah, I was in the DBZ bandwagon. "Those were the days..."

Anyways, no, you're not the only one. One of the bright spot in the dark ages of Cartoon Network '09.

Am I the only one who thinks Donald and Goofy (especially Goofy) are WAY better than Mickey?

I don't care for it, but its oddness at least makes it stand out from the other garbage on CN.
Am I the only one who is a fan of the Simpsons, but can only sit through two episodes apiece before having to shut it off (even seasons 1-6)?

Am I the only one who can't stand the Nostagic Critic? He just too obnoxious to be funny.

Yeah, it is true that Donald and Goofy stand out more than Mickey espically when the studio had trouble trying to figure out what to do with the mouse once he gain alot of popularty and try to be a good role model to kids like Roy Rogers.

Yes. I personally find him enjoyable, even on reviews of movies/shows that I've never even seen.

Am I the only one who don't see what the big deal "SpongeBob" is? I mean, there are enjoyable episodes here and there, but I can name other made-for-TV cartoons that I'd rather watch.

I too was never fond of Spongebob-I do like at least five episodes but most of the time I find it really stupid.

I don't care for it, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

...huh, I just realized that both this and "SpongeBob" are created by former Rocko directors (Jeff "Swampy" Marsh & Dan Povenmire, Steve Hillenburg). That's pretty...ironic.

Am I the only one who's upset that "Chowder" may come to an end (http://nerdarmada.blogspot.com/2009/05/chowder-grows-up.html) this year?

No, I'd be upset too, Chowder is awesome IMO.

Am I the only one who thinks that CGI animation, when used properly, can be just as good as "traditional animation?"

(PS I like Flapjack too, particularly episodes written/storyboarded by Mike Roth & "Pen" Ward)

No. While my heart is always in hand-drawn animation, CGI can be as good if done in the right hands.

Being very familer with Mo Williams designs (he used to work on "Sesame Street"), I say you're not the only one.

I'd say yes. Not even I can do that until I see the credits.

Nope. I can do the same with most MGM, Lantz and Disney cartoons, (sadly :o).
Am I the only one who loves Twisted Tales of Felix? I know it's an acquired taste for some, but it has some of the most insane ideas for storylines I've ever seen for a cartoon of the time period.

I saw a rough cut of an episode on Youtube a few years ago, and it had some pretty good animation.

Am I the only one who thought some episodes of Loonatics Unleashed were watchable?

Am I the only one who feels bad for Kali Fontecchio, who despite not be any real authority on animation history, is a great artist (seriously, check out her stuff here (http://kalikazoo.blogspot.com/)), attractive, and apparently a sweet and nice person.

Even though she has the wrong influence, she is a talented artist on her own.

Nah-the original Scooby Doo episodes were fun-although the most memorable may be the "Scooby Doo Where Are You?" episodes. I also actually like "The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo" because, although Scrappy is in it-he's a lot more subdued and easier to handle because he doesn't take over the entire show.

Some of the newer direct to videos weren't bad either-Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost comes easily to mind. I can't get myself into the new stuff like "What's New Scooby Doo" and I definately dislike the episodes with only Scrappy,Scooby,and SHaggy-gets rid of the mystery.

I dunno, but I don't have a perticular liking for that character. It would be nice to see Tom chase Jerry in a new scenery instead of just around the house (or in the Mouseketeer cartoons' case, England). At least the dogs added a bit of conflict later (but not a whole lot).

I'm, shall we say, inbetween with that question. I can understand why people revile the post-golden age so much, but I can still greatly enjoy Rocko's Modern Life, the first two seasons of Ren & Stimpy, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Dexter's Lab, and Powerpuff Girls. But I can still understand the contempt (with the exception of Rocko and Dexter, it's really nostalgia that makes me enjoy these shows).
