I know I missed out on it for many, many years when it was either relocated to satellite channels, or put on at dodgy timeslots. I can&#8217;t remember. It&#8217;s fair enough, but it took a while to make a niche for itself, even if that niche is &#8220;the show that comes on when VIVA runs out of <i>Fresh Prince<\/i> repeats&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Having tie-in material made so early in a show&#8217;s lifespan is always a recipe for absurdity, especially if it&#8217;s a video game. I mean, <i>South Park<\/i>&#8216;s initial claim to fame was the novelty of cardboard children uttering obscenities. I&#8217;m not sure how they took that and made it about battling evil turkeys. Was there some one-off joke I missed out on, and the developers just latched onto it? See, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not a games designer. I&#8217;d probably have just invented Nega-Cartman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The solid 3D characters are miles better than the flat ones you get in the cartoon.&#8221; from N64 Magazine issue 23 (December 1998)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[37,74,20],"class_list":["post-561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onm-remembered","tag-onm","tag-preview","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
