Talking about Rocket Power (I know that this show has a lot of haters), one of the girls is adept enough to win a surf competition, but then later has average surfing skills. fORget that girl, what about sammy? The guy has one of the worst surfing skills at the beggining of the series, then the hawaiian guy gaves him his surfboard and he became a semigod in the waves, the next episode he has the new board, but he has horrible surfing skills again Or that episode where Sammy has a new Skateboard, and he became the best skater in the town, then otto soles it, but then he recovers it, and is never mentioned again I know that nicktoons never had continuity or episodes related to each other, but boy, rocket power went too far with this

I have another quiestion, although only one of them ever had a cartoon.
Have the Addams Family or The Munsters (let's toss in the Groovy Ghoulies and any other cartoon where the cast consists of monsters) ever killed people? If you listen to the jokes they'll make references to maybe being killers, but of course we never see it. After all, vampires need blood, Frankenstein's are made of dead body parts, etc.

Why did Dexter have an accent when no one else in his family does?

The dark age of comic books. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. It's an idiotic concept considering Watchmen and The Dark Knight, which started it, weren't dark to be cool. They were dark because it worked within the confines of a standalone story. And even then they were structured in such a way that hope won out in the end. Then someone decided Daredevil should be dark, and twenty years later the character has been battered almost beyond repair because people forget the concept of BALANCE. It's not like I want the silver age back. It's just that I miss the days when comic-book characters got a break and to have some fun. Why'd characters always have to be on the verge of manic-depressive suicide? This has driven me up the wall as well. I gave up on a lot of comics because of it. I have nothing against a dark story if the story warrants it but in the 90s it seemed they tried to make everything grim. Even characters that have no business being grim were made that way: Spider-Man, Superman, etc. It was really annoying. You can have a serious story without it being "dark". A good example is "The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man". It's a great story. Spider-man goes to visit a child who is dying. It's a very serious story but it's handled really well. Edit: It was getting to the point where even reading comics was depressing.
