Boomerang is pretty good too, but I wish they'd keep to more of a schedule- it seems to change week to week. Boomeraction is good though, Thundarr, the original Jonny Quest, good stuff!

Jeez... Two words: Cartoon Network. Two more words: Samurai Jack!!!

Seven more words: JLA Season 2, Teen Titans and anime.

The anime on CN's Adult Swim, Toonami and Saturday night line-up for the most part has been excellent, except for SD Gundam.

Season 1 of JLA was okay, But Season 2 of JLA has been rock solid great (plot, action, character development, script, one liners) through out the season (of two and three parters). For example, the show has had no problem being linear, like for example, Shade (minor villian) saying in his third team up with a group of super villian he says, "I have done this before, TWICE! And it don't work either time before." Same episode they brought back Clayface from the original Batman Animated Series.

Also in the episode "Twilight", Superman finally has it out with Darksied dealing with what he did to Superman in the last two episodes of the Superman Animated Series. Thoughout that episode, Superman is playing loose cannon, and Batman has be the voice of reason. Also, the final battle is brutal and good.

Also, other episodes of S2 JLA come to mind, "Beyond Terror", which pits the JLA versus an amry creatures from H. P. Lovecraft.

"Here After", "A Better World" and last nights episode "Wild Cards' was excellent, Mark Hamill can still voice act a excellent Joker.

Also Teen Titans has been much better than expected. Three episodes of it's 13 episodes I highly recommend, first is Mad Mod, which is basic Teen Titan vs. a Austin Powers type villian name Mad Mod (voice acted by Malcolm McDowell) in an acid trip world, it has an extremely funny episode. And Apprentice Parts I and II, a darker episode(s) with an lot of action and plot twists, very goo episode.

By the way, unlike the DC Comics, the PC factor on JLA and Teen Titans is nearly zero.

It's a sad day when you can honestly say that some of the best stuff on TV is mostly anime and cartoon. By the way, I think the people producing JLA and TT, not a raise, they are doing an excellent job.
