My favorite cartoon still is Chowder, mainly for the fact that its fun is entirely careless and it'll remain entirely timeless no matter what age you watch it as. The addition of many experimental jokes just adds to the unique humor of the whole show and makes watching more of an experience rather than just a story.
KO in itself feels like it's trying to be a show that lives in the 90's era while at the same time making an endless amount of references in an overly cartoon-like fashion. The issue is that this isn't like Regular Show where the time period matches its false-seriousness that it tries to portray. Instead the time is used more like a gag, like "Haha, this girl wears leg warmers"
This happens a lot honestly. There are many shows that come to pass and their staying power simply isn't great enough to hold on for too long. They flash for a short while, people may enjoy them, then they fizzle out as viewership drops and they return to the realm of forget just like many before it have. I suspect that this will be another victim of CN's habit of dropping things that aren't popular on delivery, but it's a real shame because KO gets really close to getting the 90's cartoon feeling right. It even has all the sounds down correct and some of its jokes feel like they could be straight from Dexter's Lab. It just needs to tone down the silliness just a bit, and start looking better. Funny faces are one thing, but these are honestly something else entirely.
It'd be good if it could be its own show too, I mean did they seriously have to make their character have the exact same voice as Kid Goku?
