Dave the Barbarian
(2004)

Has its moments but not many
I just viewed 4 episodes of this show by catching the end a marathon and I gotta say I was shocked. I caught jokes on masturbation(quote: "ever touched a monkey? it's addicting"), Laying waste(meant to mean destruction but taken out of context to mean relieving yourself in public) and even a penis joke(in the episode about slaying dave's pet dragon). I'm not conservative about my humor (something about mary anyone?) but these kinds of jokes have a time and place, of which just isn't on a network marketing itself to wholesome family programming. I guess Disney has done away with its old standards to appeal to a different demographic. There were some decent jokes, and the potty humor would go right over the heads of younger kids so we'll see how it does.

Gotta Kick It Up!
(2002)

total crap!(contains spoilers if you actually care)
This is by far the worst attempt to identify with the latin population and kids in particular. Right about the moment the main character started dancing (practically out of no where!) her friend started chanting "go daisy go daisy" or what ever the heck her name was. The plot is so stupid, the main character wants to make something out of herself by dancing in high school competitions. The team's motto is "si su puede" which means "yes I can" in spanish, I suppose they thought it would mean more if it wasn't in english. Did disney really think that high school dancing would make that dramatic of a story. So she overcomes stress with family and friends and predictibly becomes a successful dancer, boring boring boring. As a latin myself this movie insults me greatly to portray them as such self absorbed idiots. Don't watch this movie if you want a serious drama (this is disney after all) or an intelligent movie. (Grade= o *'s out of 10).

Dragon Ball
(1995)

really strange
contrary to what some may believe this show actually did air in america before dragon ball z. I remember watching it on a local channel and wasn't really interested since it only aired once a week. Much different from dragon ball z as it makes even less sense and goku is kind of annoying.
