Sketch’s Top 12 Animated Action Series

All this talk about the Geek Cast Radio Network’s Top 100 cartoons of all time list got me thinking about which cartoons I consider to be the best of all time but rather than even attempt to do top 100 at this time I thought I’d narrow it down to one genre and under 15. [...]

Sketch Muses: Re-Learing to Share

Life After Toonami

Not too long ago I stumbled upon an interesting show on The History Channel called Life After People. It used scientific findings to predict what life “after people” would be like for planet earth.

Not Another Old Cartoon Podcast – Episode 2 – Don’t Hate Life, It Has Good Things Like Robotomy

  In this episode we pay tribute to the late great Robotomy. I meant to get this episode up before the last episode aired on Cartoon Network but unfortunately I was not able to do that. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago so the news is a bit out-dated but if you haven’t [...]

Not Another Old Cartoon Podcast – Episode 1 – SPOILER ALERT: Batman is Bruce Wayne!!!

After weeks in the works we are proud to introduce you to Not Another Old Cartoon Podcast, the podcast about new and current cartoons because after all there’s enough podcasts caught up in the “good ‘ol days” of animation.

Sketch’s 2010 Cartoon Round-Up

I contemplated making a top 5 or top 10 for the year but I felt like I wouldn’t be giving some shows their due if I just did that so rather than make a list I decided to give a micro-review and some personal thoughts on the cartoons of 2010 that I was able to [...]
