Most of the episodes of this show were shit. If they lacked Slade, Mad Mod, Control Freak's minuscule appearances, etc. they were shit. The best individual filler episodes were from Season 3. So yeah most of the show is honestly unwatchable uninteresting trash.

And Raven is the single worst character ever created. So annoyingly overrated especially given how over spammed she is on /co/ for the last what was it? 10 years. And I hate Tara Strong the blowjob queen of voice acting who is everywhere (most recently in Hotel Traynsylvania 3 as Frankenstein's cousin). Hope she develops pancreatic cancer. It's far too obvious this whore does blowjobs and sexual shit to get her jobs.

Definitely nostalgia on my part. I tried watching it again earlier this year and kept feeling like the art style had aged badly and the writing wasn't as good as I remember.

I did enjoy it the first time around.

Yeah, blind nostalgia is something that dominates this board. Teen Titans had great moments, but is buried in the legacy of it's precesessors (George Perez's comic)
Teen Titans has a connection to people in a way Bats and Supes don't. People generally want their Titans to be like the 2003 show so bad. The 2006 Johns comic is a flop when it comes to that and the average joe who grew up with the 2003 series will refuse to see Young Justice. Cyborg is a snore in the Justice league movie, because Geoff Johns loves the comics version of Cyborg unlike the majority of people who recognize Cyborg who see the 2003 version as a superior version

The new TITANS series is getting laughed at because it isn't the 2003 series, anything different or trying to warp the preexisting narritive is deemed bad. But all retreads are seen as great.

Nostalgia makes Teen Titans worse than it actually is

This, but also I feel like it was a big step forward in characterization for the Titans. And made a lot of non-Justice League DC heroes more mainstream, and shook up the roster of most popular DC characters in other media.
And that other DC media has followed its lead, often for the better.
I heard Toonfire was why Miss Martian was created.
The popularity of this show’s serious moments and serial plots surely helped bring about Young Justice.
And the LOSH cartoon seemed to be following this show’s example, which seems to have its fans.

I was never a huge fan but I'd watch it if it was on. It's hardly perfect but not awful either. On the good side of average.

Though I really liked the Terra and Trigon arcs, but I also haven't watched either of those in years.

At its best when it went dark, funnily enough. Slade and Robin's relationship was great. Contrary to what people ITT are saying I thought the anime influence was pretty good and matched the style of humor they were going for.
It's not at the level of the original DCAU with BTAS-JLU, but it's still a cut above nearly every other animated superhero series out there.

If you compare it to stuff like the 90's Batman cartoon, it seems pretty weak and dumbed down in comparison. But its also a lot better than most of the shit on tv nowadays. The show was a little too silly at times, but it definitly had it's strengths. Good artstyle (I don't care that its anime inspired), decent action, good character dynamic, and it was rarely boring. The story arcs were good, even if the endings were copouts.

I have said before that if there were a real revival, then I would just want it to be a little more serious in tone, and and acknowledge the characters have lives outside the costumes. Maybe get Paul Dini to help write.

The action and characters are where it primarily shined through. The narratives on the other hand had major issues. Aside from Season 1 and 4, every other Arc was littered with plot-holes, first comes to mind is the especially egregious deus-ex-machina at the end of Season 3 (lol Cyborg is literally Jesus) or Jinx joining the good guys for no reason over than muh vagina. It's still enjoyable as a junk food show, but it's not SSS+ tier like twitter likes to meme.

Only thing good about this show: ASS and Cyborg. Other than that, it's a shitty excuse for a DC cartoon. "Slade" is certainly no Deathstroke. Although in hindsight, it was cool to see The Brain and The Doom Patrol

I'd say it varied in quality. It was very jarring to have serious episodes followed by wacky ones and back to serious.

My opinion on it is that when it was bad or trying to be "anime funny", it was pretty bad but when it was good, it was truly amazing. I still remember all of the season finales pretty well

Its quite telling that outside NTT its the most beloved iteration of the characters given how it managed to be successful in two different eras and how the comics has tried so desperately to capture that same appeal but always failed. I would say that the show is good and holds up well upon rewatching it last year, the artstyle is very much "of its time", the tone is all over the place and it also suffered from the government manfated "lesson of the week" structure but man when the show was allowed to do its thing and juggle the comedy with the drama it was some good shit especially the 4th season where it was the writers essentially taking what worked andvwhat didn't work in the previous seasons and putting it together in a well done package. In the mist of this you get some really solid character writing and big reason why people harken back to these iterations of the characters is for how well done they were even Dick which hardcore Robinfags have mixed feelings for. I dunno, /co/ used to love this show back in the day but the fallout of TTG that brought out the worst of the fandom just made people have stronger voices against it.

Teen Titans was fine but it was particularly notable at the time for having season arching stories, character archs and continuity between episodes. Characteristics like that made it stand out more than it would today.
The visual designs were great though, the action scenes were decent, the characters likeable with interesting powers, for the most part.
I also liked the slower pace they had going, and they made effective use of their wide range of villains. I do think the big league of evil toward the tail end of the show wasnt great.

In a lot of ways the characters were re-invented in a way that was much more appealing to people over what the comics did with them, at least to people who got into them via the cartoon. Cape comics have a habit of injecting all kinds of unnecessary shit and over dramatic or convoluted stories that make it very inaccessible to people not already familiar with the comic fluff. Im sure im very unoriginal when I say Raven was my favorite character, but im very fond of the rest too, in particular Robin. Now im not big into cape comics but I havent seen a version of Robin I liked as much as the Teen Titans cartoon version. And im sure the same applies to a lot of people and their attachment to these characters.

It is a lot of nostalgia, but to be honest a show that had arcs, drama, action, romance, etc. were just very rare at the time, especially among the disjointed episodic comedies.

It doesn't compare to even the worst teen titans comic runs, it's just too childish and the anime influence is very dated, and it's irrevocably damaged every adaptation of the titans since, though that wasn't necessarily its fault. It's not exactly watchable by today's standards but for the time it was a decent show.

NNT was the best selling title from DC during the 80s. The 2003 series was a huge success and was the longest running DC animated series scoring higher ratings than both JL and JLU. TTG is DCs most successful animated property currently running and the first DC TV property to get a theatrical release since fucking BTAS. And despite all that the comics are still fucking shit and nobody cares. Titans will probably flop due to all the negative feedback and they'll be back to square one.

First of all. Show statistics. You're making a broad claim as if you can speak for an entire group of people, or as if anyone can.
Second, some people not liking something is fucking irrelevant to majority opinion

http://www.warnermediagroup.com/newsroom/press-releases/2003/08/05/teen-titans-continues-to-score-double-digit-delivery-ratings
Since its impressive July 19 premiere, Cartoon Network's newest original series, Teen Titans (Saturday, 9 p.m.), added a third week to its current streak of delivery and ratings gains across all target audience demos, according to Nielsen Media Research. The high-octane action-comedy program once again earned double-digit delivery and ratings gains among kids 6-11 and 2-11. Highlights of the animated series' performance vs. the same time period last year include the following:
* Kids 6-11 delivery (753,000) increased by 76% and ratings (3.1) by 82%.
* Boys 6-11 delivery (613,000) improved by 87% and ratings (4.9) by 88%.
* Girls 6-11 delivery (141,000) expanded by 38% and ratings (1.2) by 50%.
* Kids 2-11 delivery (994,000) grew by 17% and ratings (2.5) by 19%.
* Boys 2-11 delivery (746,000) rose by 22% and ratings (3.6) by 24%.
