*goes through the list* Bear in mind, I don't HATE any episodes... Except the series final. That failed a little.
The Chaos Trilogy. Just coz I like a series that start with proper introductions. Man's Worst Enemy. Because it was FUN and a nice transitional ease into the series. The Nature of Things. A great episode which establishes Archie and Atlanta's relationship. With a good plot. And an emphasis on environmental issues. See You at the Crossroads. Another fun episode. Athena and cake? And Neil's "Bippity boppity boo" moment. So much lulz. Mazed and Confused. Probably one of my all time faves. Mostly because it was the first episode I ever watched, but also because there's a sort of even amount of screen time for most characters. Even though it's Theresa centric. And the plot is really good. Prisoner Campe. Herry's Granny. So many good times. (B Get Kraken. Another fun episode. Even though the Kraken was predominantly in Roman Mythology. But it's another episode with equal screen time for the seven kids. Bows and Eros. What lolz I had from this. ^__^ Labour Day. A great character building ep for Herry. And it didn't deter too much away from the other kids. Cronus Vanquished. Just coz it was almost a good plan. Poor Cronus. And the opening rocked. And Hades is made of love. Forget Me Not. Probably one of the funniest episodes next to 'Bows And Eros'. Oh Neil, how I adore thee. Pandemonium. Again, anothe rreally good plot. Altough Cronus really could have gone back in there and killed the tree again... QUICKLY this time. =T Cold Day in Hades. Yet another fun episode. Even though Atlanta and Neil pretty much did nothing in this episode. Mother Knows Best. Wow. Wowwowwow. Herry's finest episode. And Neil's wave. God. 8DDD Applet of Discord. A good plot, even though it pretty much followed a similar route to 'Bows And Eros', but that was a great eppie, so it's forgiveable. Bad Blood. Meeting Hermes' sone was good times. And everyone looking at Theresa like she was a wack-job was priceless. Breathtaking Beauty. A great Odie-centric episode. He needs more love. (B Recipe for Disaster. Probably THE most random and fun episode yet. Good times, those were good times. Cronus 2.0. An interesting plot, nice ending, great beginning, good character-building between Jay and Odie especially. Like a Rolling Stone. I really enjoyed watching the 7 being normal to begin with. :) Daedalus or Alive. A good, fun episode with a nice plot and a lot of good gags. The Deep End. Once again, it was nice to see the 7 behaving like kids. Finally some confirmation between Archie and Atlanta, with a good deal of Herry awesomeness in between. He's so clever when he wants to be. (B Golden Boy. God. Neil. ILU. The side plot of this one was meh to me, and could have been better, but Neil obtaining the golden touch was, well, gold!
That's all. (B

... Bad Blood because of HERMES, Golden Boy because it has a NEILxHERRY MOMENT +SQUEE+ ...and it makes me want to snuggle Neil so badly. ...Not to mention, I like watching my favorite characters suffer ANYWAY... Star Quality, because AGAIN it has a NeilxHerry moment AND...yeah. Forget Me Not because...because...everything. Mother Knows Best because Gaia is so freaking awesome. Phantom Rising part TWO because Hermes is like "FFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOCCCCKKKK DB" ...and he's very front-row and it's awesome.
...aaaand ANY and ALL other episodes with Hermes in them. 83
Even Get Kraken, even IF they kept changing the size of his nose. Ohhh the lulz.
My favourite episodes are The Nature of Things and Pandemonium...as I ADORE Pan! ^.^ Forget me Not was great cause I thought it was awesome that they got to meet their ancestors. And I loved Cold Day In Hades and Cronus Vanquished because I love the relationship between Hades and Persephone...it's just so cute lol
I have to say tho I LOVE Phantom Rising 1 and 2 the most...because there is SO MUCH character delvelopment with Theresa in those eps...more than she got in the whole series! They're just really amazing eps!

Theresa had tonnes of character development in the series. I think that's why I don't like Phantom Rising... I got used to her being the one who un-complicated things and all of a sudden, she's causing all the trouble.
They could have given us some warning.
It was like, "Hi! I'm Theresa! I'm having a vision! I'll help the team get to where they need to be, no questions asked! I take this very seriously! I wanna get better to help Jay and the others." and then all of a sudden, it was like, "I HATE EVERYTHING!!!"
):

I think that was the point...to not give us warning and have it happen suddenly so we all go WHOA WTF...also because the one you'd LEAST expect to go nuts was Jay or Theresa. I felt that it was a very good twist for the writers to take...cause you're going along watching the show oh yeah this is cool, characters are being all predictable... then all of a sudden you're thrown on a rollercoaster and it's like WHOA WAIT WHAT'S GOING ON OMG WTF WOW! The suddeness added to the shock value.

I guess. But the finale should have had more of the others too, seeing as it was the finale and everything. The first part was good for that, but the second part was very Theresa centric. With a bit of Jay and Neil.

Yeah I completely agree with you there. I think it was because maybe they found out then that there wasn't going to be a third season so they had to wrap everything up quickly...and alas some development got left out :(

The reason it was cancelled is because they couldn't find a network in the States that would play it. So while the show was really popular and really well recieved within Canada...they weren't able to pitch it to the states...and Canada just wasn't enough viewers to keep the show running due to expenses, so Studio B felt it just wasn't worth continuing.
So if you wanna fight the people who cancelled it...fight the American Networks who refused to see the amazingness of this show.

I'm getting sick and tired of America soccer moms and their obsession with making cartoons suitable for no more than TODDLERS. I mean, they're even starting to attack Kid vs Kat! And that's the ONLY good show running right now! Oh, nooo. We can't have cartoon violence. That's...well, that's VIOLENT. OH NOOO we can't have BLOOD in our shows! CHILDREN AREN'T ALLOWED TO KNOW BLOOD EXIST. OHHHH, HECK NO. WE CAN'T HAVE CROSS-DRESSING. THAT'S SEXUAL IMPLICATIONS OH, THEY KISSED, DID THEY? WELL WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. CHILDREN SHOULDN'T KNOW WHAT A KISS IS, THAT'S A SEXUAL IMPLICATION.
I WOULD NEVER ALLOW MY CHILD TO WATCH ANYTHING WITH RELIGIOUS INFERENCE IN IT. I HAVE TO KEEP MY CHILD'S MIND CLEAN AND CHRISTIAN.
I HAVE TO PROTECT MY LITTLE BABY THINGS LIKE PAIN AND TRUTH AND CHOICE AND OTHER POISONED DEVILS AND THE LIKE BECAUSE MY CHILD HAS TO BE SAFE AND IGNORANT. IF I DON'T DO THIS MY CHILD WILL GROW UP TO BE DIRTY, ROTTEN ADULTS DRINKING AND DRIVING AND COMMITING CRIMES AND-- +Vein pops. Faints.+
Hermes: ... Um... SO. Episodes.

Dood it had nothing to do with what the show was about. Just none of the networks were interested in it. It wasn't even aired in the states...so soccer moms couldn't complain about it.

Well, it could be that they knew what the soccermom response would be. xD ...Maybe. 'Coz I just don't see any other reason, unless they felt the show wouldn't benefit their companies in any way, and that just makes no sense.
Considering how "PC" Studio B was and how much they censored the show to cover their asses to make sure there would be no complaints? It was most likely because the stations felt the show wouldn't benefit their companies.
Wish we had enough fans who would write into the networks and request one of them take on the show.
But worry not...me and my guy are going to write our own third season...and it will be supremely awesome! And when we have it up we'll let you know...so you can go and witness it's supreme awesomeness. (and he worked on the show so you know it's going to be awesome ^.~)

We're also planning on completely changing their outfits (as they'll be 18/19 in this one lol ^.~) and really have only come up with an idea for Atlanta...we're having trouble with the others.
Anyone have any ideas?

lol...uh....ummm....no...no I don't think there will be any sort of pimp suit...
...except perhaps on halloween. We've got Herry pegged for light khakhi pants, and sandals...but not sure what shirt he should wear...
the others we have no idea.

I was actually really impressed with Studio B's numerous choice of clothing for them. Other shows only shows characters with, like, two outfits. If THAT!
The CotT team has, like, a running outfit, a training outfit, a hiking outfit and their everyday outfit. Plus all those extra outfits like their stealth gear and diving gear and swimmers. *nods*

Well it would be REALLY hard to change their clothing every episode...but...I think I'll talk to him about maybe switching it up again mid season?

I have nothing to contribute here on-topic-like. But I wanted to say that I agree with Bir's statements about the soccermom. 83 Seriously, Teletoon Retro now has a warning before shows like Looney Toons and Pink Panther that the station 'does not promote violence or racism. This cartoon is based on the time period in which it was created'
B|
That too, annoys the flop outta me. I can't count how many good shows we've lost to the soccer moms. Loonatics Unleashed, CotT, and more that I can't think of names right now.
Flop, I'd much rather have my kids watch these shows than the crap that's on Disney Channel nowadays!
When I have kids, I'm getting DVD copies of LU, CotT, Recess, Weekenders, KP, and Lilo and Stitch. *srzbznod* Disney Channel will NOT be allowed in MY HOUSE. T____T
Well Invader Zim is also targeted towards an older audience...which is why it's played so late at night.

"There was a real nosy guy earlier. He was..he said he..he was looking for Jasper Gein. I said, 'I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...I'm...' and then he got...annoyed, and walked off." ~ Jasper Gein, Noisy Hill

Which is the episode where he's in the wrestling gear again?
I recognize the other two from Odie-sey and The Antikythera Device (YAY Scottie as Atlas ^.^)
Both of which are awesome episodes...
