Bring back the show "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack."


Bring back the show "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack."
The Issue
This show had absolutely nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Look on Mtv or vh1 or dirty cartoons and look at what they do to the children and teenagers. They learn of a culture of sex, materialism, and good looks. They take on that money runs the world, sex is a great thing that should happen all the time- and if it's done wrong I can just star on "Teen Mom,"- and I need to look absolutely THIS certain way or else I'm an ugly wreck who is going to die sad and lonely with seventeen and a half cats; BUT amongst the wreckage WAS a show called "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack," featuring a young cabin boy and a sailor that "guides," him as he grows up. This show had little to no innuendos and its popularity could be matched up to the now prominent "Adventure Time," and the classic "Spongebob Squarepants." The few innuendos this show did have included Captain K'nuckles who drank syrup and often passed out due to a sugar rush. Many parents can conclude that this relates to alcohol, but in no way shape or form did the Captain ever benefit from doing so. Usually this would leave our main character Flapjack in a bind, in which he would learn a quite valuable lesson and go on to teach it to the Captain, who would then receive a just punishment that was based on the episode because of his poor choice. It would also show how the syrup did NOT benefit anyone in anyway and the caretaker of both of these characters "Bubbie the Whale," often informed the Captain that what he was doing was hurting himself, others, and that no good can come of it. From this you can see that the show would be in fact teaching kids the harms of alcohol in an indirect way and pushing them away from it so they may learn otherwise, but not making it too obvious to ruin their innocence. The show teaches children a lot about common social behaviors to avoid, or how to deal with them as well. It featured one episode about bullies, which is an ever-growing issue today, and how to deal with them the right way and what both the victim and the bully can learn from their deeds. It taught children how to deal with those tough decisions so they don't end up on the news channel tonight at 11 (if you know what I mean). Flapjack was full of lessons of this sort, and many teenagers such as myself and my friends and countless others only ever hope that they might restore this show to it's former glory again. With the popularity of "Adventure Time," some might say this show will be useless and ignored, or that it can't match up when in fact Flapjack's story lines match up to Adventure Time's frequently. Both shows are similar in a way, but also drastically different in a way that they could both equally co-exist on Cartoon Network and help bring in more viewers every showing. Please consider restoring it, and hopefully writing new episodes.
