'Smart' is relevant, my friend. I don't think Billy & Mandy is a 'smart' show. You can argue that Jeopardy is a smart show, but to some it's just filler. Personally, I think Maximum Exposure is "smart." “Smart?”

Foster's and Adult Swim are great. Children's shows, at least the good ones, tend to be ones which are intelligent and have crossover appeal to adults which this did not. MUCH better than 'Gym Partner's a Monkey' or 'Camp Lazlo' [which, unlike this, have no crossover appeal whatsoever], but Plastic Man always remained strong based also on the world around it, not just on the character who can become anything. Here the world seems like PPG mixed with Ren and Stimpy with a touch of Bob Clampett and Frank Tashlin. Baker did something interesting by giving him a new original world, while this seems like a world from a Keystone Kops reel. Its a good pilot, which will probably result in ultimately a good series, hopefully with more of the Plastic Man mythos and feelings of psychosexual metaphor and feelings of loss, irony and fantasy, and not merely a stretchy fellow.

It could use a little work, but I could easily see it becoming a solid show. I really hope it gets a second chance. (Also, as a guy who runs a website devoted to superhero fashion, I gotta say the small mods to Plastic Man's outfit were EXCELLENT.) Totally awesome.

Of course, when compared with the actual series, most pilots don't tend to stand up to snuff. IIts fun though... but could use some better timing.

Perhaps also it was commissioned for Cartoon Network proper and targeted as a kids show, for which much of the action and jokes account for. I'm sure it would have been very different if for Adult swim. I thought it was pretty high quality for a pilot.

Man, I wish freakazoid. could work as a kids cartoon, but not intelligent enough to have the carry over appeal that both of those had. Makes me think of Freakazoid merged with Ren & Stimpy.
