Hello, I am J0j2 and I am a trekkie. *Smiles brightly.*

Want me to Rant about a show? Suggest! 

Right now I'm going to talk about kids TV shows on cartoon network and nick.

Now I know that I'm still a kid, but honest to god, some of this stuff is just (dare I say the word,) crud. Too bad this forum has too many little kids on it for worse language.
Anyway, I think a lot of the new cartoons are in quite literal terms, idiotic and rather dumb. Dumb is a very non intellectual word, isn't it! Lol, just realizing this.

Here's some different kids shows which give me all the answers to the brain rotted children of the USA. 

Btw, feel free to argue, kids of America.

Adventure Time with Finn and Jake - An absolutely horrible show. The animation style is strange, (but animation isn't a good way to judge a show.). I find this show excruciatingly sexist in the way it displays girls as helpless objects needing to be saved by some kid who kills anything that's bent up. There's so much mindless, idiotic violence in this show I can't believe this is what kids are watching. A stretchable dog who is totally as sexist as the human with weird, screwed up messages. This supposed to be an 8 year old fairytale prince who wants to make out with someone and be a punk at the same time. What?!

Fanboy and ChumChum - What a terrible plot for a show and the episodes are absolutely hard to watch and immature. I can't describe how just the theme song seems to make my ears bleed. A hugely annoying combo of strange animation, uninteresting plot, and characters that really convey no interest to me makes this show rather unwatchable.

Dude, What would happen - Can I ask you something? What is this show?! Three idiots who like to do stupid stuff? This is the mythbusters for small wannabe children who wish they could skateboard and dream about cutting from their private suburban school. How can I even dare to compare this to mythbusters, I don't know. These teenagers say dude every other sentence which is irritating and the entire premise of the show makes me say, I'd rather be watching the Church Channel...and I'm a Jew.

Destroy - Build - Destroy - Once again, another terrible attempt at a reality show by cartoon network. I laugh at their incredible failure. From the bad actors to the consistent yelling of the obnoxious host, all they do is build something and blow it up. For anyone who finds this remotely interesting, I'm sure you'll also enjoy watching grass grow while people burn themselves with lighters.

Yugioh 5Gs - Okay, I used to watch the original yugioh series. I'll admit it, it was okay, I didn't really get most of the dueling, but I liked the characters and thought the animation was interesting (in that anime esque style). They stopped showing it and that was that. THEN they came out with all these other series! I get it, to sell the cards. Without the show, the cards don't go. But what is this new thing? Speed racing while dueling? Bring motor sports into anything and all the sudden its magic! Aren't monster trucks and playing cards a great combo?

Big Time Rush - Big time rush? This is a show about a band of 'super hot boys' who supposedly can sing. What kind of band name is Big Time Rush? These boys on the show are super full of themselves, not too bright and get themselves tangling in all sorts of stuff and the characters are so dull, you're first reaction is 'shut this crud off!'. The camera work is weird and the filming style seems very unprofessional and very childish. It's like 4 half grown up, uneducated, hormonally induced Justin Beibers! Auto Tunes and all, this show needs to stop being shown.

Totally Spies - I watched this show only a few times. What is this, three animated teenage girls who are...spies? Okay first of all, who had the idea to put three teen chicks in weird flare colored jumpsuits anyway? Then after, they're spies? What are they going to do at this age? Snitch on their best friend who's cheating on Danial Goldberg? No, they're saving the world from animated, Comic book villains. Totally Spies, Totally Plausible.

Brainsurge - More like Brain Splurge. This show is annoying and downright the biggest waste of 30 minutes of my life. Massive creepy stalker face? Fart chairs? Brain Drain? Appeal to your audience, Nick! There's nothing interesting about this show and ever episode is EXACTLY the same, no matter how many Nick celebs or boys/girls stuff you try to add, this show is a failure. This doesn't train the minds of youth, it turns it into that foamy mush you slide down at the end of the show. And after that, you're happy it's over, so you go take a shower to rinse off the crud you just watched.

iCarly - Aren't we exposed to enough technology already? The trying but failing mature idea of it isn't working, guys. iKissed a boy? iMeet a kid who's a bad boy? iFall in love with an actor child who is supposedly UBER hot to the stereotypical girl? Okay whatever. This is so boring and uninteresting. The actors are good, but the show? Every movie is starting with 'i'. So is iCarly actually another wing of apple? Doesn't Macintosh have this copyrighted?! All of the teenage stuff is disinteresting and has lost the interest of a vast majority of your viewers. At first it was okay, now stop doing love scenes! That's like adding a love interest to Tom and Jerry. Now try telling me that sounds right with a straight face.

Victorious - A show about a teen who goes to an artsy private school, okay, got it. What I don't get is the extreme range of people and friends in the school. So, her friend likes dolls and puppets, another seems to blank out on a moments notice, and one other...I haven't even watched the show to see what's wrong with him. The attempts of Nick trying to connect to youth with TV shows, (Like, OMG! Lol, that was like ttyl, omg!) by inserting various text language and internet sensations, it's going the wrong way and honestly, Come on nick, Victorious isn't a Victorious show.

Total Drama WORLD TOUR - First off, I'd like you to know, I don't hate this show. At all. I just have resent that they made 3 seasons of it, all of which, (after the first) seem to have totally dropped off the radar. The first season, the original Total Drama Island was hilarious, well thought out, animated in an okay fashion, and a good idea! But then they came out with Total drama Action. I would go home and watch TDI sometimes, wanting to see the latest episode. I had initially been excited about another series, but then I realized it was more of the same. And then MORE of the same! Cartoon network, Total Drama World Tour needs to stop touring immediately and finish in your studio.

Bakugan - We have Yugioh. We have Pokemon. We have Dragon Ball Z. Okay, we got it. Strange Japanese animation that doesn't quite cut it to be called anime. But then this? Children saving the world...with plastic spheres? Kids saving the world is a reoccuring theme, we've already got enough of it. Then with odd animation that is undeniably similar to both Yugioh and Pokemon and a kid with an oversized ego, this show is a pain to watch and seems to go on. And on. And on. Without end. There are already enough shows like this, the last thing we need is one more!

Skunk Fu! - One day one winter break I flip on the TV and there's this show with animation that seems like it's made for an audience of 3 years old. What's worse, it's like that kids show, the backyardagans, except the animation is totally flat without shading work. The plot revolves around a skunk who's what? 6? Okay, a six year old skunk and animals talking. That's okay, penguins of Madagascar had it, pretty good show. But Skunk - Fu is about not just a talking animal. It's about NINJA talking animals! Imagine a badly created Boots (from Dora the Explorer) with throwing knifes. This is not a substantial show, trust me, you'll karate chop the TV.

Suit Life of Zack and Cody - Two super rich white kids who manage to get themselves in massive loads of trouble. These kids (in the show) are uneducated, the camera work is bad, the script is worse, and the idea behind it is just terrible. The suit life on deck is worse because now they're on a cruiseliner! No one really ever liked this show, yet they make a bunch of remakes. And your actors are what? 16? 17 now? Give it up. They want to start growing a beard, not act on Disney channel. No one likes this show anymore, no one ever will, no matter how many things you spoof it to. Star trek for one of them, I thought that was a disgrace. This show terrible, and the suit life on deck? It makes me seasick.

Hero 108 - This is TV show...on cartoon network? Okay I get that this is a kids channel, but not a preschooler channel. This animation is WORSE than Skunk -Fu (hard to imagine, I know) and the plotline is of absolutely no interest and the characters are about as sense making as an ostrich eating a fried twinky while riding a unicycle. The humor (I dare call it Humor) is so raw and bad, the sad attempts make the show worse. Hero 108, 108? Way to pick the most random number out there, guys! Everything is bad and brain rotting idiocy about this show from the characters to the title, there's nothing heroic at all about this cartoon. If superman has mentally disturbed animal/delusional/badly animated children, this is their reality show!

True Jackson VP - How did I manage to forget True? This show is supposed to be a reality show, a teen girl with a job. But honestly, how did she get picked to be a VICE PRESIDENT of a Fashion company?! Doesn't it take years of college and design to get such a high ranking job? Not to mention the characters are random and the camera work is very difficult to watch. All the jokes they throw in there, there really aren't any that appeal to the older audience and the younger audience just doesn't get it. The script is terrible resulting in episodes that are hard to like and make you change the channel. Reading a lit. circles book is far more exciting than watching this show.

-----
I am a huge trekkie now, especially because Star Trek (original) explores a lot of interesting social and racial themes and is more thoughtful and interesting then these violent, brain rotting and annoying cartoons.

More coming very soon.
