Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Not that bad of a review, but he keeps reusing footage.
Hm, I can't help but find the thing that sticks out to me being the re-visitation of "It's for kids not being a valid excuse" argument he's so fond of.
Who was it on the cast that retorted that one complaint or another about GA wasn't valid because it was just a kids show?
In any case, I vaguely remember the show, but not this particular episode. I'm just relieved it didn't devolve into a rant against the educational system after he got into his problem with the moral.

Come on, kids... let's say it again: "Easy target."
As I mentioned in the other thread, Hey Arnold also did the same plot of characters who play hooky getting the worst of it, while the people who stayed at school enjoy themselves to an absurd extent. Will he be claiming that as an atrocity, since he claimed "it ruins the realism"?

Besides asshole being one of his crutch words, the review isn't too bad to sit through.
He specifically mentions the Hey Arnold one. Saying "So when one [Nineties cartoon] fails, they all fail."
"I don't like asshole characters, so that's the norm!Everyone hates them!"
And in the little captions, he says spongebob rarely shows a computer because Karen doesn't exist apparently.This also explains why he complains about Computers in his cliches list,he thinks it dates the show.
He rants about the Rollercoaster, yet complains when someone finds a logical flaw in his precious project
He complains about pandering to kids, again, yet he doesn't seem to understand that many shows he likes, are pandering to manchildren(I would say adults, but that would be lying)
But overall, it was an easy target.

@Anchuent Dictata: What the hell?
@Someone: The man not only doesn't understand the concept of an asshole character who can be funny, but also a character who has assholish traits but is still sympathetic.
Computers are pretty much not likely to go away, so I don't think they'll date the show that much.
It's hard for a show not to be dated, really; maybe next he'll rant about how Looney Tunes features all these references to celebrities he's never heard of. (Or Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, etc.)

And it all comes back to Enter's hypocrisy again, he really thinks only the shows he hates will be dated, while the ones he likes he calls them timeless, when some of then even had fucking MEME references in them, outdated ones even by their time.
To be fair, nowadays, making reference jokes is actually really dificult, because it may not be relevant a week for now.
I don't think it will be overly hated and loved like it is now. Its reception will become the equivalent to what the Magic School Bus is like today. It will be a forgettable and average cartoon that not many will talk about. The bronies might be referenced in the future due to how bad their fanbase is.
Eh, there are worse fanbases than the bronies. Much, much worse.
You mean like Enterbots. That one is definitely one of the worst.

Well
This is a show that had a "Grumpy Cat" reference, yet Enter thinks it'll be remenbered dearly
@ZSponge: The Magic School Bus had Lily Tomlin, though. What does My Little Pony have?
@Sczylak Madgar: I know. We're on a forum about one.
@Someone: To be fair, Animaniacs and The Critic both did references that were extremely topical at times, but they're still beloved.

If your talking about in terms of famous actors who played various roles, MLP has a person from Star Trek who voiced Q who plays a minor reoccurring character known as Discord, Tara Strong who played voices in various well known childhood cartoons like Scooby Doo and she plays the main character of the show, and Werid Al played a character who appeared in the episode. Even though the characters are played by famous voice actors, a better question is will their roles be memorable?

Well, you could say he tried that in his episode "Silly Sally", with the whole mercy vs. revenge thing.
