animation Get Em Tommy: New Cartoon Network mini-series

[TheMisterManGuy 344]

Cartoon Network recently has stealth premired a new mini-series on it's digital platforms called Get Em Tommy. The show is created by Victor Courtright and can be found on Cartoon Network's App and YouTube channel. The premise, stick with me here, is about a naivé pink-haired boy named Tommy, who uses different fighting moves by jamming VHS tapes into his head. If this sounds completely stupid, well... it is, but it's actually a charming kind of stupid. No, the show isn't "funny" per-se, rather it's got a distinctive charm that makes it quite amusing. As a web-series, I think it's okay. However, if this does get the Mighty Magiswords/O.K. K.O. Treatment, I feel it would need some heavy retooling. It just doesn't feel like anything that belongs on mainsteam Television, and it's even more apparent here than in Mighty Magiswords. Magiswords can work as a TV series, it just needs more even pacing, whereas this would need a near complete overhaul to make it more presentable. Still, it's worth a look if you're tired of Cartoon Network's recent barrage of lame reboots. It's still better than Teen Titans Go! But at this point... What isn't?

I'll be honest, I wasn't entertained.

Understandable, I see why people wouldn't want this style as a TV show, even Mighty Magiswords has better production values. Still, as a web series, I find it alright.
