Okay, now as anyone will tell you who's been around to remember 1990-2004 or so... Cartoon network has been a mainstay of lazy saturday afternoons and that hour or so before catching the bus for school. The shows were enjoyable enough, and while the writers weren't perfect, they didn't take themselves so seriously. Well.... here we have Johnny Test. An obvious gender swap/role reversal ripoff of Dexter's lab. I have no problem with "black box" Science (as in they never explain the near magic that goes on due to their experiments), but the fact is they TRY explaining it, feigning intelligence and teaching impressionable kids things they'd actually believe. There goes whatever biology class they may have been taking.
As well.... I understand the point of a catchphrase, it's a mainstay of these shows for a laugh or two... but good god how many times can you hear "didn't see that coming" and think to yourself, how are his sisters geniuses at all? Common sense is a large part of the scientific process, or did the writers forget that in lieu of "plot"?
The biggest annoyance though... is that for all the continuity they TRY to enforce, and all of the writing they TRY to make cohesive, their animation is so bad. I mean, if this were some high schooler's project with flash and after effects, sure I could see it. We all start somewhere, but how many times are they going to just resize a hand to substitute movement of the fingers? Or animate snow with a badly done flash particle? This is a perfect example of why technology is ruining entertainment, and that people are slowly accepting less and less as writing. I await being an old man watching his grandchildren laugh at grunting 3D Cubes for 2 minutes, because a whole 12 minute episode can't keep their attention long enough.
