Ah yes, now I see. Mr. Enter's Australian fans specifically brought that to his attention. It really is a big waste of space, to take a timeslot where almost no one tunes in. I only saw it because it was one of my rare day offs, and wanted to watch something while I was eating. Every other channel was full of boring crap as well, so I just had a look at what it is. Usually the episodes are just boring and uninteresting, but the episode he reviewed is one of the rarer ones that does have implications. The voice acting is also so terrible, it's like there's just two people who can't even act just doing different tones of their voices really badly. Australia's really short on decent voice actors. Mr. Enter also said it was a Fairly Odd Parents ripoff, which is pretty much spot on. Only difference is here the girl actually treats her genie like a slave, while Timmy Turner cares about his Fairy God Parents. I didn't realize Fairly Odd Parents was considered to be bad as well, I actually watched it as a kid.

It really is 100% kid oriented, if you see those previews on CN they actually have accompaniments of real life kids saying "Teen Titans Go! is funny" or "I love Teen Titans Go!" Using kids to sucker in more kids.

Well Cartoon Network certainly isn't running out of stupid shows like that. There's our other good friend Johnny Test, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Amazing World of Gumball, Uncle Grandpa. Seriously, did they advertise: "now looking for stupid, unentertaining crap". Btw, you'll probably be dismayed to hear, TTG has been nominated for "Kids Choice Awards", and judging from all the crap it's up against, it actually has a chance of winning. Also a third season is in the works.

The voice acting is one of the only things that's actually done well. Really sad to see the best VAs in the world ending up on this abysmal crap. I think Tara and Greg don't mind because they're used to voicing silly characters like that. Scott is a different story though. Speaking of which, remember a while back I mentioned he actually expressed some doubt over this portrayal of Robin. Well here's the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDrE0Vkn5DM (skip to 0:32) He made emphasis at least three times to the writers in saying "Are you sure?" before finally accepting it. Another thing with Tara, I saw a number of times she said she just loved being back with the whole team, which was like a family to her. The Teen Titans voice team is one of the closest groups for any show.

I wish it were so. Sadly it's just one of the many atrocities that's currently staining cartoon network, like the list I mentioned above. Only thing special about this one is, it's getting the most amount of hype and attention in comparison. Little kids attracted to colorful things with lots of fun and music. That show is basically visual crack, and it's reeling so many of them in. We will get another Teen Titans at some point, I just don't know how long that'll be. How long it'll take for someone who will buy the right for Teen Titans, who is willing to invest the actual effort to restore it to it's former glory.

Interesting. Personally in comparison to the rest of the Titans, I cut Beast Boy some slack because he's mostly a flanderized existing personality, rather than a complete nonsensical portrayal, and he can sometimes have a "nice" moment. His jerkass moments can be really irritating though. In the Teen Titans episode "Forces of Nature" he tries to make it up to Starfire and gradually learns to take blame, but in the TTG remake of that episode "Ghostboy" he just laughs at the other Titans when they all die and turn into ghosts. Speaking of Michaelangelo, he has the same VA as Beast Boy, I think that's Greg Cipes' trademark character archetype. I cannot stand Robin, he is just excruciatingly painful to watch and I do not find him the slightest bit funny. I am convinced his portrayal is a genuine depiction of real life psychotic disorders, basically in the same boat as Mike. I really feel he's a blatant insult to the original Robin.

So how would you rank the TTG Titans then? For me going from worst to least worst (not best, just least worst) it would be:
 * 1) Robin - WTF were they thinking even coming up with a psycho with an inferiority complex? He's as insulting to mental disorders as Mike is.
 * 2) Cyborg - Unlike Beast Boy who jumps from being a jerk to nice to idiot, Cyborg is either a jerk or an idiot with nothing inbetween.
 * 3) Beast Boy/Starfire (depending on the episode) - Both are dumber and more ignorant than in Teen Titans, but they're mostly exaggerated versions of existing personalities, so I'm more tolerable.
 * 4) Raven - The only one who doesn't actively enrage me, and is the least wrecked out of all the Titans.''

Seriously, who would come up with an idea as stupid as repeating the same f***ing word for 11 minutes straight? The only explanations I can come up with are: severely running out of ideas, substance abuse, or they suffered recent brain damage/trauma. And what's stupidest of all is BB and Cy never even want freaking waffles to begin with. Thankfully unlike Mr. Enter, that episode didn't wreck the original Teen Titans one for me, but that was still probably the worst episode he's ever reviewed (even though it doesn't come close to the worst episode in the series). Cabbages? Am I missing something? Some reference only Avatar fans would get?

Okay had one final thorough read of it. One more suggestion. In paragraph 6, I'd switch the word "moot" for "pointless" as it seems more stronger. Other than that, can't nitpick any other problems. It will certainly make an impact, I just hope the impact isn't too overwhelming. But what needs to be said, needs to be said. So let's see how it goes.
