I ended up falling asleep during both showings. The little bit I did see reminded me too much of Family Guy.

Weak first episode. As you said, way too much like Family Guy. The German goldfish is flat-out unamusing. The alien, however, was much to my liking. MUCH TO MY LIKING, INDEED.

I don't see how it's going to run side-by-side with FG. Will Seth pick and choose which show gets which jokes? It just seems awkward as hell.

I thought it was pretty amusing when Stan put the fish food in the bowl and the fish went "HAPPY HOUR!"

Extra Zero · « **Reply #3 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:17:53 AM »

No it wasn't.

Shame Seth couldn't have come up with a different setting for the show... Or atleast had all the characters as animals or some shit.

Man, I hope that's a sarcastic reference to NBC's failed Father of the Pride and not a legitimate suggestion. Talking animals belong in Disney movies and nowhere else. Ever.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #5 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:34:15 AM »

Haha, yeah Father of the Pride was the biggest waste of 30 minutes since Transformers Armada.

Dude, what about Energon? They didn't even bother to finish airing that steaming turd. Does anyone have the rights to Galaxy Force or whatever it's being called over here? I've got money on it not being Cartoon Network. Amen.

Take that back!

blanktoe · « **Reply #8 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:41:03 AM »

yes, it will be on Cartoon Network.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #9 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:42:47 AM »

From what I understand Paramount has the rights. From what I've heard, Galaxy Force was done by Studio Gonzo, the same people that did Blue Submarine No 6... As for the writing, I'm unsure. I'm even more unsure as to WHY they're continuing the horrible Armada storyline...

Will Transformers ever be cool again?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:45:18 AM »

If someone decent gets to write for it, then yes. However the movie is looking awfully promising.

blanktoe · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:45:27 AM »

Yes on the toys.
No on the cartoon.

Like an animated movie or a live-action sorta deal?

Extra Zero · « **Reply #14 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:47:10 AM »

It's a live action movie with an obsecene budget. Speilberg is actually rumored to be the producer.

Awfully promising or promisingly awful?

B E C K · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:48:25 AM »

So like AI with a truck then. Let's throw in a dinosaur too, and no, I don't mean Indiana Jones.

I think it all depends on who they get to direct it.

It's gotta be better than House of the Dead... And it'll atleast have Peter Cullen as Prime.

Not unless he dies. Whoops, there's a heart attack!

James Earl Jones should be PRIME!

I'm gonna go off on a tangent here, but man, Gonzo's done a hell of a lot more recent good stuff that you could be lauding them for, but don't let that bolster your anticipation for Galaxy Force. It's Energon with slightly nicer CG. That's it. And the fact that every TF series since Beast Wars has aired on TV Tokyo and now all of a sudden GF is on a different station is a kind of a tip-off as well. See, the Japanese are just as averse to watching garbage as we are.

blanktoe · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:58:22 AM »

I like Galaxy Force but that might be because I dont know what they're saying.

B E C K · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 12:59:18 AM »

They're saying "we no likey toe".

blanktoe · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 01:00:58 AM »

you're just trying to hurt my feelings.

B E C K · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 01:04:49 AM »

It's not me, it's the transformers! I think the one that turns into an ass bead is upset at you for some reason.

The goldfish was better as a Nazi. Somehow the televised version has him as an olympic skiier. >.<

joe · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 01:20:40 AM »

Yeah... yeah... and there was something about that Jack in the Box gag. There was no Jack in the Box in the original version.

Extra Zero · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 01:21:30 AM »

Well, the original was only like 7 minute long.

Evil Monkey-Tom · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 15, 2005, 01:22:55 AM »

I don't like how the mom is drawn either. Seth usually makes some hawties for characters, but the mom looks like cheap net fanart.
