Shows I'd like to see Chuck review

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

At the top of my list is Steven Universe. I think Chuck can get a lot of humor mileage from various characters and bits (and, like the MLP reviews, jokes about the musical element) while having a lot to talk about with the show's themes and arcs.

Also, another vote for Centurions.

Not sure WWD meets the science fiction or fantasy requirement. I guess the dinosaurs are a little bit anthropomorphized at times.

Hi, I've been watching for years, but this is my first post.

Firstly, gotta throw another Lexx voice out there. It was so..........unique.

Secondly, I think I may be the first to suggest this.....Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. J. Michael Straczynski's first real effort at a long story arc on a tv show. It only made it one season, so it would likely be a simple overview, if doable at all. Who knows if it could even be aquired.

I'd especially love to see hear his pain when he gets to the horror that is Transformers: Energon. :twisted:

As for Beast Wars episodes, I'd love to see him do the episodes dealing with the Vok. We've already seen him do "Other Voices," but it would be interesting to see reviews on "Chain of Command," the two-part "The Trigger," "Law of the Jungle" (which doesn't feature the Vok but does mention them), the two-part "Other Visits," and "Other Victories." In fact, I'm kind of surprised that he didn't do "Chain of Command" and "The Trigger" before "Other Voices," as first two lead up to the S1 finale.
Chuck tends to do things in the order they're requested. He'll sometimes break request sequence if there's important context from another episode that's been requested from around the same time and it makes more sense to put them together, but otherwise.... He's good enough about trying to stick to the order things came in that he'll often do one episode, and then a week or two later, do the episode that immediately came before it. Even though it would obviously make sense to do them in sequence, he still does them in request order, or in a way they fit the theme and flow better.

In BW's case I'm pretty sure someone specifically requested all the major Dinobot episodes to lead up to Code of Hero, and then one or two others to establish new characters and the spark concept. Requesting the Vox related stuff is, as you noted, a whole mess of other episodes and a different plot arc to follow entirely. (especially considering we never really got resolution on what they even actually were...)

As a speculative science documentary (dated, to be sure), it might stretch the requirements a bit.

The Jurassic Park films, on the other hand...

Considering the head writers couldn't agree on what they were, plus interference from Hasbro... yeah.

The team who made WWD later made a two-part docudrama entitled 'Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets' that I've always wanted Chuck to review.

So I stumped up the $100 last year and it's in the queue. :-D

Since he's done anime and toy-line series, it might be interesting to see him do any of the four Zoids series (Chaotic Century, New Century Zero, Fuzors, and Genesis).
