You gotta be more specific: which of the Wedgies?

Any of them. Whether the idea of having little 5-minute cartoons as space
fillers in between shows is good or bad. Whether or not you think Mr. Bixby
is funny, or just stupid. Whatever you want to say about them.

Thumbs down. Great concept but they're trying way too hard to be funny
and coming up short.

But that's just it. They're *almost* funny. It's like they paid for 100%
funny but got 84.33% and said "That's fine, we need something to stick
in where we don't have enough commercials".

If you look back to their original programming like Johnny Bravo, The
Powerpuff Girls, or Samurai Jack and then compare that to the Wedgies
stuff, it's really a shame because they have done some great things in
the past and now seem to be resting on quickly withering laurels.

I really don't think that they deserve much more of a review than "thumbs
up" (I am almost certain if there is somebody out there that likes EEE,
there is someone that likes wedgies) or "thumbs down," but that being said,
I suppose there is a fine line between stupid and funny. In fact, I suppose
84.32% and less is stupid, and 84.36 % and more is funny, because Mr. Bixby
is closer to stupid than funny.

The one about the dogs chasing the frisbies polevaults over that like to
perhaps 50-some percent at best, and most of that is in the opening that is
a spoof of the old Mission Impossible opening.

I personally would have preferred that they did a fantasia like thing, where
they amimated classical or jazz pieces.

Thumbs up WHERE?

You are talking about interacting with the backside of some other human
being and now you're introducing "Thumbs Up" issues?
