They should stop that 3/4 stuff. I agree with Fluffturf373, I don't think they should put a stop to the couple altogether. Just... limit the hints. |

I agree... The cuteness has reduced, but if they just stopped 3/4 all together, then it would leave this huge hole in some peoples' heads, making them wonder, "What the heck happened to Numbuh 4's crush on Numbuh 3???"
I still think they're cute together, but there were too many hints this season! I hope that season 5 doesn't have as many hints, but at the same time having enough to see that Mr. W. didn't give up on the couple and lazily killed it from the show.

I think the 3/4 hints should stay, but just be limited that's all.
And we really shouldn't entire yell at fanfiction writers (I always try to add a little 3/4 and 2/5 into all my fics). Yes, some of these people can't write but if that's so, why don't you give them tips on making it better. I hate it when all the review I get are "Update!" and "Good Job." I do that all the time but I'm gonna stop that.
Okay, off topic there. Back on.

I miss some of season 2 and 1 hint kinds. They may you think about the hidden proof. That way 3/4 haters don't need to see it but at the same time 3/4 fans (Like me) notice them and keep them to ourselves. (Or not.)  |

Unless you mean a friendship relationship, CN would have fired Mr. Warburton and sentenced him to 2 years of standing on his head with corn cobs in his ears and holding a sign saying "I have sinned" if he'd hint to homosexual relationships in a children's show. Actually, I think CN would be rather light on that sort of thing. You're talking about a channel that has Adult Swim, and that is easily watchable to any youngster who stays up. Plus this is cable, and cable isn't as strict. Oh, and where did Yogirl say anything about homosexuality in her quote? I don't see it, unless you misunderstood the "season 2 and 1" sentence or just want to be a jerk. |

I can see where people think 3/4 is being overdone, but some read way too much into what can be considered proof. "They're standing together" doesn't cut it IMO, and in SNOWING 3 saving 4 could just be the "leave no man behind" attitude that they as friends and teammates would have. Personally, I think 3/4 is cute, but don't obsess on it, or any other couple, one way or the other (I didn't even plan to ever post in this section except for my joke post about 4/Ms. Thompson). I agree this last season was a little heavy on displaying it, but it didn't compromise the show as a whole, and I rather like the idea of The Kid as competition for Wally.
As for there being no homosexual couples, is there nobody else who sees Wink & Fibb? Think about these:
-They live together (both their names are on the mailbox), as middle-aged men who presumably have jobs, rather than college students needing to share rent.
-They spend a lot of time together on the same couch.
-They like Rainbow Monkeys, girls' toys with the theme of rainbows.
-They are based on James Bond villains Wint and Kidd, who were officially gay.
Mr. Warburton is obviously not going to have them officially come out (and CN surely wouldn't let him do this, or at least the Y7 rating would be significantly ratcheted up), but he leaves us to draw our own conclusions.

I agree on the fact that CN wouldn't let Mr. Warburton have homosexuality on the show (unless it's only very small hints).
I may be all for it, and I'm sure many people agree. But I don't think that our society is quite ready to have homosexuality in children's TV shows just yet. But who knows what'll happen in the future....
I'm getting off-topic again. ^^;

No, you're right. Homosexuality is starting to become a big part of our society so maybe in the future, even kids will understand and it will be part of children shows as much as adult shows. You never know...

You never know... Yeah. I think that this time next decade, many children's TV shows will have open homosexuality in them. |

Hm... it depends on what the network itself thinks about homosexuality. Being that they have Adult Swim on CN, I would assume easily that they don't really worry about it. However, they could be concerned about all the people (right wing fundamentalists) who'll complain about "an innocent children's show showing the 'perverted' lifestyle of the fag." Even CN would easily buck under the pressure and withdraw any episode that even hints of homosexuality.
However, I can assure you before we hit 2010, there WILL be a children's show that discusses homosexuality, even lightly. Our culture is about at that stage for remarkable things to happen. Look at all the shows featuring, or are hosted by, gay people. Being that gayness is becoming a well-known topic, kids are going to wonder about it sooner or later.

Mm? From just recently seperating myself from the fandom and KND itself.. I watched it just yesterday and fell in love with it again. The only thing that ruined it was the constant 3/4-ness.
Season One: Cute and Not totally there
Season Two: ADORABLE, and there!
Season Three: Eh. Constantly there
Season Four: *dies from overload of 3/4-ness*
And so on and so forth. Yeah, Mr. W wants to please half of his fans.. but what about the other half? The reaosn why I left the fandom was mainly BECAUSE of the old, same plot, basically. But yeah. 3/4 has its moments, but must they have every moment in every episode?

Although 4 doesn't really like 3 in all ways. 4 does hate the fact she likes rainbow monkies.

And the subtle hints were simply adorable. But now it's like... "yeah, so Wally likes Kuki. So what?". It's... sad really. How boring and plain the couple has become... |
