And there is some funny ass dialogue in this cartoon :lol :lol :lol

any fans out there?




Yeah I've seen it on ABC's Saturday morning show. It is a pretty good show. I like the one with some Hispanic Romeo transferrs into school and everytime he shows up they start playing marachi (sp) music.

The Proud Family is TERRIBLE.

I agree.

Aside from the hilariously racist premise (Which is another WTF inducer, how did Disney approve this?), it's just a terrible show overall.

Oh god, I hate the Net Jackster episode.

Especially when, what'sherface got arrested by the FBI for sharing music. Then her family, who'd probably otherwise clueless about the program(aside from the mystery of how it was coded by one kid in, I guess, middle school and then widely distributed) got mad at her for stealing music.

All-in-all, it was one of those start young premices. Instill fear in the children, and they won't steal music from you. Or something.

I was going to say something along the lines of that but I figured nobody had seen the episode anyways. Start 'em young indeed! Never too early for some propaganda!

I am so glad to see there are some Proud Family fans here on this forum. Normally when this show is brought it's always someone just pointing out it as racist and stereotypical. I love this show, been watching it for years now. Out of all the cartoons I've seen that are about black people(rare!) this, and "C-bear and Jamal"(remember that?) are the best I've ever seen. I was never a big fan of PJ's.

Gotta ask though to all the people out there saying this kind of stuff, what's so racist/stereotypical about the show? Even better, please explain to me how a good pc cartoon featuring blacks should be? When I watch the show all I see is a funny, eccentric, down to earth black family not too much different than my own actually. Show me an episode where Oscar is smoking crack and beating Trudy and Penny is waiting for her baby daddy to roll by on an undersized BMX bike with some diapers and milk, then we can talk about stereotypes.

and for the record, even though that EZ Jackster ep was some pretty lame propaganda, I still thought it was a pretty entertaining ep, one of my all-time favorites.

I know "My Brother and Me" wasn't a cartoon, but it was the best cartoon about black people ever.

:lol Damn I forgot all about that show, it was awesome back in the day. I would kill to see some reruns of that show again.
