Good roundup of this season's Saturday morning cartoons. Before I had TiVo, this woulda been irrelevant, since I would have already discovered these on my own, but with TiVo, I find myself really needing these guides. The lifecycle of a Saturday morning cartoon for me now is that I ask my TiVo to capture all the episodes of some show that I'm already familiar with, then watch as the number of episodes captured per week dwindles as the networks start to phase out the show, until it disappears altogether for a year, reappearing then in rerun. If we all end up using PVRs, recommendation systems like this are going to be increasingly important.
"What's New Scooby-Doo?" (8:30 a.m.). Do we really need to describe this show? Honestly?
"Ozzy & Drix" (9:30 a.m.). A hungry mosquito ensures the continuing adventures of "Osmosis Jones" when it takes the white blood cell and his cold-pill partner Drix out of the disgusting, aged body of Frank and puts them into a healthy boy named Hector. There they, and the Farrelly brothers (who produce the show) find new action and gross-out jokes. Where the movie failed, the show succeeds: funny, fresh and vaguely educational.
