Most of Australian television. Seriously, all of our talented people go overseas...

You can take Mel Gibson back if you want.

Not necessarily. To my knowledge Chris Lilley is still around.

Quite frankly, take all of the kid's shows that are condescending, punt them into the sun, and then replace them with quality entertainment that all can enjoy.  Not the shitty stuff where everyone overenunciates, stares at the screen, and waits like 2 seconds for the person responds.  Nor the stuff where everyone makes joke about monkey butt and plots are increasingly simplistic and shallower than the kiddie pool... no, stuff where the characters are interesting, the interactions more or less realistic, and stuff actually happens that has real consequences as opposed to "everyone laughs, the end"
The only "kids" shows I've found that match most of those criteria are Avatar and Young Justice.

The new My Little Pony is better about this than most.  It may be a 30-minute toy commercial, but at least it teaches proper social interaction through realistic character development and behavior.

three cheers for TV Tropes, eh Night?

Actually, I don't go to TV tropes... I got my information from the extra features on the dvd's, and from Greg Weisman's own personal Q&A section on his website. You could ask me any question at all about Gargoyles and I'd probably be able to answer it (unless it involves specifics about the comics, which I have, sadly, been unable to find up here).

Gargoyles was my favorite show when it was on, until the third season when they fired all the writers and the show took a steep downward plunge.

The Goliath Chronicles *vomit* The only episode from the third season considered cannon by the fans of the show is the first episode which introduces the Quarryment. That was the last episode the series creator Greg Weisman worked on.

But if you look around, Greg Weisman continued the series through comic books.

Also, as a bit of little known trivia... did you know that Lexington is actually gay? Greg Weisman didn't dare put it in the show because it was too controversial, but I believe he is incorporating it into his comics.
I read the comics for a little while. They sort of picked up at the beginning of the third season, as if most of that season never happened.

Yeah, I knew about Lex being gay. The story goes, a fan asked about it at a convention panel and Greg said yes, he's gay, then the actor who did Lexington's voice yelled "I knew it!" i.e. No one had told him, but like the fans, he had suspected it.

I haven't seen Bob's Burgers, but the commercials didn't exactly give me any incentive to watch it.

Also, What Not To Wear seriously pissed me off (my sister used to watch it). The hosts will take someone who has their own unique, comfortable style, and force them to switch to the current fashion trends. God forbid someone dress in a manner that the professionals don't approve of.

Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

It's a series based on the film, with god damn Charlie Sheen.
