I liked it. Kinda of a light show but it gets the job done.

Sent to die pretty much. It's like their trying to prove a point by killing action shows.

Its so frustrating that CN will get some actual good stuff and then just toss it.
I feel like an exec has an issue with action cartoons and wants to make a trend of them not working so he won't have to be bothered with them.
It might be also a hatred of third party shows (not called Teen Titans GO!) as that is actually becoming a huge problem for them, so much so that Pokemon jumped over to Disney XD.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
What's your definition of a third party show? Cartoon Network and DC/WB are owned by the same company.
I guess if you want the technical definition of that it would be second party show. Still, it is considered to be an external production because it is not overseen by Cartoon Network nor made by Cartoon Network Studios. This is important because Cartoon Network has been pushing shows like Mighty Magiswords or the Powerpuff Girls because they control the merchandising on that and really the everything unlike with DC Properties. I couldn't tell you why they have taken to shine to TTG though.

I can see that happening, kinda like the opposite of that one guy who kept pushing CN Real.
This was really fun.
The writers REALLY need to tighten up the writing though. I do not think they have quite mastered the pacing for the 11 minute chunks. 'Red Sun' has the economy needed, but fails to quite nail the lading.
My favorite thing so far: the subtle OG Wonder Woman jokes/references.

I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see even more people make cameos since I like seeing heroes and villains I have not seen much before. I liked that about JL and JLU.
I wonder if 7:30 AM is that bad a time for the intended demographic. I think the Sonic Boom numbers might have been pleasing at a similar time slot but who knows. I guess they feel like this doesn't like up with other stuff in their weekly slot. Hope it can do okay or get to a good slot to survive
Pokemon is going to Disney XD? Guessing that starts with the next series, right?

It sucks because seems like Europe and us are airing the episodes in whatever order

That was so damn cool. Loved the callback to Superman 2 with the S-wrap thing XD
How do you lose Pokemon wtf CN
Man I forgot that existed. Cn real ended my childhood love for cartoon network I was done with them.
If by next series you mean Sun and Moon which is airing there right now.
What?! I've been missing it. I saw that XYZ stuff is still on CN and figured that the US didn't get Sun and Moon yet. Aw dammit. lol. I wanted to check it out from the start. Guess I'll look for a couple episodes to check out regardless to see how it is. Thanks for the heads up

I like it so far. Really getting a Brave and the Bold feel except I'm not sure about the 15 minute format yet. My main beef is with the voice actors (not all bad though)
-Not sure how I feel about Master Shake voicing Plastic Man. Tom Kenny was the best!
-The OP says Todd Haberkorn is voicing Parasite, but it was actually Max Mittelman (sp?)
-Crispin Freeman is an interesting voice for J'onn. I've been watching a lot of Slayers recently where he voiced Zelgadis who is very much a similar "outcast" character
-I had to chuckle at giving Constantine a lollipop. It's 4Kids Sanji all over again!
-Watching it with my sister, she said she really can't stand Diana's hair.

What?
Its hot(as far as cartoons go) I want to see that on Wonder Woman in live action.
Her typical animated hair is so dang boring design wise.
New style makes a huge difference and gives her an entirely different vibe.
Just got done rewatching all the episodes out there, and the show improves on a 2nd viewing for a few episodes. There's a lot of great visual and auditory gags for the history of DC, and appreciate that.
I think the best episode for me is Under a Red Sun. It encompasses great story, good dynamic between Bats and Barda, and a solid A and B plot.

I think they just confused the two
Because yeah sounded like was sent into deep space
But apparently deep into the Earth's core?
So conflicted and want thread's feedback since this show is clearly airing in whatever order they care in different countries, what should be the rule on discussing certain episodeS?
Wanna share so many things from most recent episode, but only aired in the UK so far so would be spoilers for everyone else
I don't know if i'd describe it as "hot" personally, but I really do prefer her haircut in this to her boring vanilla haircut, this seems to fit her character in this show better.

Finally got around to watching my recording of this. Not sure how I feel yet, i'm not excited or hyped so I guess thats not a great sign. I'm not a fan of straddling humor and action in this way. I enjoyed the original Teen Titans mix because it was like one whole episode devoted to humor and vice versa and that worked but this is more like trying to make everyone Spider-Man with the humor all the time and its not working for me right now.
The episode that aired this morning was the first 10 minutes of last week's 1 hour special.
My favorite episodes so far...
Play Date - the Video Game Centric one. Both for being a love-letter to DC history, but also being video game related
Speed Demon - It was fun and different to see a possessed batmobile and Etrigan is usually always a treat
Under a Red Sun - Superman proving to be resourceful and cunning with or without powers. Also Barda/Bats have a fun dynamic
Time Share- Big BTAS fan... so of course not surprising

Agreed, I kept internally screaming "Stick with Lois!" or "Stick with Steve!" the whole time.
That's literally my only gripe with the show. Hell, they even referenced Static.
The show is so loose on continuity that I think an one-time episode isn't so bad. Can't imagine really gonna reference it again

So... are they airing episodes in the UK first or something? How are you guys watching all these episodes?

Man I was hating on this when it was announced but wow im legitimately loving it.
I had thought a full action based series was a worse idea than a Teen Titans comedy series.

I don't know if trying to push them, but does seem more intent on embracing the mystical side of the DCU.
Which makes sense since mostly untapped in the previous cartoons.
Ha, I wasn't keen on the runtime, but it does allow them time to develop a story and action beats. Granted, at the expensive of long-form storytelling and really a ton of char development, but it's fun.

Yeah the time was my main problem,
I absolutely didn't think 10 minutes with the Justice League was enough time to deliver anything.
Yeah, where the hell did this come from?
While i enjoy the show as it is, i wish the show is longer than 10 minutes.
