It's not like computers are going to evaporate at any point in the near future. By that logic any show with a TV set in it is awful.
ETA: Wasn't 'Silly Sally' based around Cyberbullying?

Unless it's actually a guy in a suit, it's impossible for a rabbit to say 'What's up, Doc!', Bugs Bunny.
An infamous fandom where MrEnter is only the tip of the iceberg. MLP will likely be remembered, but not for the reasons people would expect. Things like this are hard to forget.
That was one of the most retarded bronies I ever saw. None of the adult SpongeBob fans back when the show was good ever complained about those terrible joke books with horrible puns or SpongeBob's coloring books.

Listen, I never understood the term "dated". People talk about shows or movies being products of their time, but of course they are! A movie or TV show from the 1990s is probably going to reference popular culture from that era. The slang may be outdated, sure, but a movie from the 1970s can't peer into the future to ensure that audiences from the 2010s will get it. For fuck's sake, is Arsenic and Old Lace dated because "old lace" has fallen out of use? Is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington dated because newsboys don't exist anymore? No, they'll always be classics.
An episode of Tom and Jerry involved Tom getting a zoot suit to impress a chick he liked. Zoot suits have been out of fashion since the 1940s, but the episode is timeless. Why? Because people will always want to be cool, to be in style, especially if they're trying to impress someone. If someone's getting hung up on something being "dated", I think it's because they don't have much else to say.
As for Rocket Power, what's so bad about it? I remember watching as a kid, and I didn't really find anything to write home about. It was a good way to spend thirty minutes after school. It was mediocre at worst, in my opinion.

The problem is that the show was trying too hard to be hip and cool. It was nothing more than a way to pander to 90's kids (although this show actually lived mostly in the 2000's) that loved extreme sports.
Wow, a cartoon reviewer that doesn't make you feel like a basement dweller for watching cartoons.
But back on-topic, doesn't Enter know this is a cartoon? Not real life logic? The only times he knows that is when he's reviewing things he likes or writing GA.
Another Easy Target and nothing else - Rocket Power is ass, overall, as it is - I don't need Entard (or anyone else who has no understanding of ANYTHING, especially the subject matter they claim to be smart about, like kid's shows!) telling me that one.
@Headbanger General: I'm with you there. I never understood how something can be "dated" because it references the culture it was made. The Critic is full of pop culture references, some of which date it considerably to the mid-90s, yet it's one of the best adult cartoons ever made. Same with the WB cartoons of the 90s.
(Of course, then you have cartoons that are so heavily trying to get on a trend of the moment that they wind up genuinely dated. But those are few and far between.)

In my opinion, Rocket Power is in this camp. It just tries too hard at being everything that was considered cool in the 90s, and it wears thin before long.
To some extent, though, the stuff it's based around is still in the culture, so it's not as dated as, say, a cartoon from the 70s that features disco or CB radios prominently.
is it weird i dont remember this episode of rocket power? it may just be that they all blended together after a while
and the hole dated debate some shows look dated now a days but they were cool back in the day (star trek old doctor who) pop culture reference can be done right (like @Steamboat_Bill said the critic tom and jerry) but some seriously date the show (rocket power most 90's show that try to be "hip and cool")

http://www.bustle.com/articles/3089...de-down-leaving-riders-terrifyingly-suspended One of the first google results for 'coaster stuck in loop.' Enter needs to do research on the things he talks about.
Exept by Growing Around.
The logical problems aren't there in any shape or form.
Any cliche Enter doesn't like is a bad one, for sure
I like how the fucking thumbnail was from Spongebob before he changed it, 'cause Enter can't shut the fuck up about it for more than a video at a time.

Loved his review! It's short but what more is there to really say?
Though I have to disagree that references make a show dated later on (he's right about the slang though), worked out just fine for Animaniacs.

Power could go out, the track could be fucked up due to wear and tear, a blackout could happen. A roller coaster getting stuck isn't an impossible task. Hell there is a website dedicated to the fact that amusement park rides fuck up all the time.

It can't be duck season AND rabbit season.
