[@MisterXenomorph]

Alot of it is because of his ability to say some of the most ridiculous shit with such a dead pan tone

[@MSTe98]

I remember a single episode, the Halloween episode, and it's left an impression to this day. The artificial intelligence that basically *is* their home gets corrupted and begins behaving like a poltergeist, going so far as to subsume and turn members of the family into mindless zombies. Actually a pretty good premise; when spies gadgets are turned against them. The ending though is what sticks with me the most. The only one left is the boy. He discovers that intense emotional memories can snap his family members back to autonomy, but can't think of anything heartwarming to use on his sister. He ends up needing to threaten distributing his sister's diary to the entire school if she doesn't snap back. And the indignant rage actually works! Solid Halloween episode, at least.

[@prastarkeepers]

To be honest, every time I hear about this show, I have to take a second to remind myself that this isn't The Venture Bros. or The Secret Saturdays. Man, there are a lot of shows that came out around this time with a "family dynamic in an action setting" premise.

[@mes0gots0its]

The Incredibles can be largely blamed for that, for better or worse

[@eatatjoe]

@@mes0gots0its Hell, this thing is so much like the Incredibles that it's the first thing that popped into my head when I watched it because of the art deco style--which does NOT work for this show at all. It's creepy in motion and in stills it's terrifying.

[@miticaBEP07]

Disney Channel also had My Spy Family. It was a live action comedy about a male American spy and his female Russian rival falling in love and starting a family, with three children: a teenage boy who wants to follow his parents’ footsteps, a teenage girl who just wants to be normal and an overtly violent kid brother. It wasn’t one of the greats, and a bit of a blatant Wizards of Waverly Place ripoff with mostly stock characters (the father especially was a very typical bumbling, enthusiastic father), but I always remember it implementing a lot of spy elements.

[@arthas640]

idk, i think it has more to do with getting pigeon holed. Patrick Warburton did a great job as Brock Samson and that's the polar opposite of the bumbling boob Kronk and Joe from family guy

[@catholiccontriversy]

I think it's just your episodes. I remember other episodes did more with the whole "spies" thing. Like, one episode has Tuesday X hosting a sleep over and the family has to go on a mission in space, and Tuesday has to hide/explain away the fact that out the window is a space battle. There's another episode where Truman wants to get a pet because the family is always tied up with missions to do things with him, and a puppy would give him a play mate, and that puppy ends up being a henchman of the villain of the episode that wants to make pets the dominant species on earth. They also do a "kids and parents swap places because the grass is always greener" plot, and mix in some spy things like "the reason they swapped responsibilities is because their governing body was angry at how they handled the mission, so their direction was to switch places because of that," and "Trudy's hair style isn't just her preference, it's actually regulation style that all female agents at her rank must have, something Tuesday reluctantly had to take when they switched." Sure, they went with more "normal family problems" than "spy problems," but from what I remember it wasn't "the spy thing is literally just a gimmick that adds nothing to the actual plot of the episode."

[@fightingmedialounge519]

To be fair, the episodes he listed did actually do stuff with the spy aspect. His complaint more that said interesting premise is filtered through a mundane lense.

[@desmondwashington7057]

I remember the x's but only a handful like the sleepover the bully and when the boy made his own little house.

[@slashtheporcupine6746]

I remember always watching this one episode where the father is obsessed with following this random spy manual he had to the letter, to the point where the son and the rest of the family start writing in the book to get the father to do what they want.

I actually remember this show and I remember liking it. It was pretty interesting and the art style reminds me of Mirror's Edge. I remember always watching this when it was on. I think my favorite episode was when the Dad tried too hard to be a stereotypical one and destroying the house. There was also an episode where the dad became psychotically obsessed with being a mailman because he was unsatisfied with how small the spy manual was compared to the mailman manual. Yes that happened. Although, looking back on it I have to say, it's not as good as I remember.

And while, in a perfect world, it would be better for everyone if directors could help their VAs give more unique performances every time...

There are like two things I remember from this show for some reason, In one of them, The Xs win some sort of contest from a grocery store and become rich and famous because of it. This is a bad thing because they're spies, and one of the most important aspects of being a spy is keeping your life secret. So, they go by the "Eggsalads" during this time, and they somehow become so popular that even their main bad guy loves them! ... As the Eggsalads that is. I think he had a Butler or henchmen or something, who tried to point out that they were the same people, but he was convinced that they were two completely separate families. The other episode I remember for some reason is the little boy gets into a fight with his family, and so they pull the whole "my house my rules" card, along with the "if you want to go by your own rules, you can move out" card. And so he does. He builds a miniature and honestly better version of their house and just, lives there. Like, it's legitimately awesome, and made me jealous that he could just do that. I even remember that he had his own version of their computer Butler! Then, I think he moves back in because he realized he missed them or something, and that's about all I remember from this show. That's it.

this is one of those cases where your choices are 500 pirated streaming sites or nothing, I did a quick search and couldnt find any DVD's for sale or any official streaming sites. I also think that you can usually find higher quality versions for obscure shows than dowloadable torrents of the same show, probably due to people compressing the files before uploading or torrent sites compressing them before you download.

[@lloydlandrum3040]

@@arthas640 Yeah I get that but the line Mr. Enter used seemed to imply he looked everywhere on any place he came across and couldn't find any other episodes other then what he mentioned was why I brought up the matter that my quick searcher had brought up results for the whole series in a complete format .. Just not in a preferred method and Mr. Enter has in these Nick-o-rama video's admitted he has got other series in a similar fashion from them not being able to be found on official releases

[@juliosombereo184]

@Arthas Menethil [phone] call shout factory to make dvds of these two nicktoons catscratch and the x's please

[@Dan-bz2nh]

I was so obsessed with this show as a kid.

[@edwardmerriam6970]

I remember watching this with friends when this premiered and we all thought it was fucking trash, even in elementary school. That view hasn't changed much.

[@skinnyweenie8679]

Even Nick themselves thought the same too.

[@shenanigans96]

I have been trying to remember this show for YEARS. Good lord this relieves a tip of the tongue issue I’ve had since I was 10

[@pundertalefan4391]

These characters look horrifying. They look like they want to EAT ME.

Main villain was called Glowface. There were also other villains like Sasquatch, whose roars allows him to hypnotically control other animals

[@Goku14635]

I was able to find iTunes-quality rips of 14 episodes of this show just by going to some throwaway cartoon website. Could've asked other people for clip resources on this one. If this problem arises again for another show down the line, I would suggest reaching out to your fans on Twitter. KissCartoon is a lifesaver.

[@concreteman03]

The entire series was uploaded to Vimeo by the director. Idk how Enter didn’t find that.

[@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257]

I remember this show. But just barely. I remember the ads, where the villain talks about how he was taken into their family, but got hurt and turned evil, and how he tried to attack on christmas, and it ends horribly. And I thought the teen daughter was hot. That's pretty much all I remember.

[@PedroFelix456]

Eh... I liked it, I don't mind cliched characters if they are still good characters. And I wouldn't call The X's that hard to find, you do need to look for it in piracy sites, unfortunally, but you can find those there. Lately I've trying to find some shows I can't even find WITH piracy. And before you call me a content thief I did watched The X's on television when it was on. A lot of it actually, I remembering staying late up at night in order to be able to watch it, so I did my fair share

[@aquelgamermexicano]

I don't think people could call you a thief, since that would require that they have the content in the first place. If a company doesn't provide an official way to support the official release, then there shouldn't be an argument towards people trying to find it.

[@beta511ee4]

AquelGamerMexicano Somewhere behind the Nick vault lies a cabinet filled with the dozens of Nicktoons that, while technically still IPs of their own, got treated so badly that said cabinet was created to file them. Most only lasted no more than two seasons.

[@meowtherainbowx4163]

+Skeeter Mania I know this isn’t literally the case, but isn’t it interesting how little these companies care about their intellectual property? Now it shouldn’t be difficult to officially dump whatever you know you’re not doing anything with online, but instead, it’s all in copyright purgatory.

[@HerrBjork]

I think most US shows are available in some capacity, at least those that were created after VHS became popular

[@lloydlandrum3040]

@@HerrBjork Yep its true in that regard... Granted even then a lot are still currently at this time lost media ... Atleast the complete versions … Or none changed versions in a complete fashion For example there is tv specials that had to later be edited for they originally had to include product placements in the tv specials for money … While others are do to almost no one recorded them and either not getting uploaded to the net or when they do getting pulled down when the ones holding the IP find it .. Yet oddly the IP owners never release this or that movie or tv special or series even have claimed they can't find a copy despite they had pulled down a good Quality version from the net... Heck I can name a example off this My little pony G1 had atleast two tv specials that was later cut up to be episodes and content was lost do to this... which to this do its claimed that the owners of the IP has no copy of the complete original versions, Yet some people had upload the intact versions of the specials and they got pulled they even was of good quality .. I found it odd they couldn't have atleast used the copies uploaded or get ahold of who uploaded them to get copies they could remaster or something

[@insulttothehumanrace3807]

I just remember seeing lost of commercials for this show, but never actually getting around to see it.

[@Baileography]

Avatar should be coming up tomorrow, I'm pretty excited for that one. Not this though...this just looks like every other flash cartoon of the mid to late 2000s. 1. Hey Arnold 2. Invader Zim 3. Rocko's Modern Life 4. KaBlam! 5. My Life as a Teenage Robot 6. Aaahh! Real Monsters 7. Jimmy Neutron 8. Spongebob Squarepants 9. Danny Phantom 10. The Fairly Odd Parents 11. Ren & Stimpy 12. The Wild Thornberrys 13. The Angry Beavers 14. Rugrats 15. Mr. Meaty 16. Chalk Zone 17. As Told By Ginger 18. Doug 19. Action League Now 20. The X's 21. All Grown Up 22. Rocket Power 23. CatDog

[@beta511ee4]

Baileography Get ready to be dethroned, Hey Arnold!

[@weldin]

I’d put Spongebob and Danny Phantom up higher, but good list. Avatar is my fav, as it is for many.

[@beta511ee4]

Cinestar Productions I think this is supposed to be a theoretical top list for Enter, not the OP.

[@Baileography]

@@beta511ee4 Exactly. Simply a fan trying to analyze a ranking of the Nicktoons based on Enter's reviews- purely for kicks. Though, I'd love if Enter actually revealed his official ranking by the end of Nick-o-rama just so I can see how close I was.

[@weldin]

Oof yeah that makes sense.

[@Xyno76]

I always only remember this show with 2 specific lines... 1: "we're outta mayo" and 2: "we gotta do spyyyyy stuff "

[@jakobthomas1926]

Want the best Patrick Warburton performance? Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events. He plays an extremely serious, sad, intellectual and very tragic narrator.

[@princessdaisy9511]

Yeah, didn't even know it was him until I read the comments.

[@jbcatz5]

And his singing has a resigned sadness to it.

[@beta511ee4]

Jakob Thomas So only the most serious of performances can be the best?

[@alize0623]

Excuse me? BROCK FUCKIN SAMSON

[@Matkaizer08]

If I remember correctly the villain on this show (Sasquatch) was voiced by Macho Man Randy Savage

[@MrPoisonBee]

The best part about The X's was the fact that Sasquatch was voiced by "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

[@jacobs.9661]

I...vaguely...remember this one. Like it rings a very small christmas bell in the farthest part of my brain.
