just stop trying to make it 3dish make it 2dish people
I understand what you're saying... I've just never bothered myself too much over the artwork although Laurie is correct about Connie's awful pose in "Out of Control." That makes me sick.Jonathan wrote:Just some thoughts. Keep in mind, I still hold the show in very high regard, and probably always will. I also hold in high regard the men and women who work on it. I just fear it's losing some of it's timelessness.
Indeed. It's losing the timeless quality.Me wrote:I must concur with Jonathan. The artwork almost seems like an attempt to appeal only to little kids. I would even go so far as to say 4 year olds. In trying to be "cool," the show is losing part of its greatness.
But if it is baroque, by all means fix it! Or get rid of it completely.Eugene Blackgaard wrote:Therefore, it it's not baroque, don't fix it.
In my post I also talked a little about recent eps. In the last two years or so, the show has failed to make a deep impression with all ages like it did for most of the 90's.Chandler wrote:I understand what you're saying...

I fear the loss of timelessness too but I center my attention on the shows themselves. I'm not a huge fan of the artwork but I guess I've never seen them produce anything that I really loved (except for album 18) so I don't see it as terribly lost. Though I guess the old stuff (2-9?) at least looked a little more realistic even though the style isn't my favorite.
In total agreement with you Jonathan. There are still some good shows but others are just... lacking... I was pleasantly surprised with "No Way Out" however. When I sat down a listened to the album I realized I liked a lot of the shows, even "Called On In Class" which I wasn't sure about when it first aired.Jonathan wrote:In my post I also talked a little about recent eps.

To which people do you refer? I understood the joke.Eugene Kendall wrote: shhh EB these people do not know about classic music eras
I think the general feel (and this is how I see it too) is that while the awfuul style is still here, it is better then the last 3 or 4 preceding it.jessicado wrote:That and--how can you people like 44? I mean, it is better that the later ones, by Eugene looks like he is 5!
Interesting idea. Someone else's designs might be alot better than what we are getting now.The Top Crusader wrote:Perhaps we should call for a "design the Odyssey characters" contest...
