Mysterious Cities of Gold: Season 2!

[Crispy]

OMG! They've made all-new MCOG and it's a direct continuation of the old story. Looks like they're going to China (they did fly West from S.America at the end of the original show). French production but the English dub is underway, apparently.

i can't afford the time to get hooked on that again, didn't it last for about 2 years non stop every week? like the old breaking bad.

 

[The Octagon]

I'm not sure if I want to watch it.

I've been hurt before.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I, for shame, never really got into MCOG, but friends since have often raved about it. Maybe when (if!) I have kids I'll work my way through it during sleepless nights

 

[Badgers]

Oh. My. Darwin.

39 episodes. It's been renewed for three new seasons of 26 episodes each.

Here's some more

I know! It's not even "inspired by" or "homage to" - it's the real thing, with exactly the same characters and theme song. Mental

 

[fractionMan]

I'm gonna get lil fraction on this.

 

[Lord Camomile]

theme song

Which has been stuck in my head since I read this thread

 

[Jeff Robinson]

I watched this when I was about 5 and have the vaguest of recollections about it. My dad used to watch it too, I think he was a bigger fan than me

 

[joustmaster]

How did the first series end?
Wasn't it some sort of old alien or magic or something?

 

[Crispy]

They've even got the little 3 minute documentaries after each episode giving you the facts about the places & history.

I just tried typing a summary, but it got too long. Atlantis/Mu. Ancient technology. Mutant bad guys. Nuclear reactor. It takes 30-odd episodes to get there, but it's fucking mental

I watched it was obsessed by it as a kid and when I got older convinced myself I'd imagined it as nobody in Glasgow seemed to know of it. Praise be to the Crispy and urbanz for bringing it up in random conversation at one point and restoring a little sanity

Heh, I used to feel like that about Once Upon A Time... (late 70s/early 80s animated educational series). In any conversations I've ever had about kids TV, people used to look at me puzzled when I mentioned it and I convinced myself I must have imagined it too Then one day, I finally discovered that it did indeed exist and put a name to it

Mysterious Cities of Gold.... yeah!!!

 

[magneze]

Brilliant. Need to watch the old ones again now!

 

[Crispy]

Brilliant. Need to watch the old ones again now!

It was restored and reissued on DVD. The quality is excellent
The show itself holds up ok. The slapstick characters are annoying and the writing really could be better (although that might be the english dub's fault). The first 15-20 episodes are great. The middle drags. The last ten are mental.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Surely longest gap between two seasons ever! Makes Duke Nukem Forever look positively speedy!

I guess the advantage of cartoons is it doesn't matter that much, as animations don't have to age. I wonder if they used the same voice actors in the French version, and use the same voices for the English dub?

Golden Condom flies again

they don't have you but boy has the art styled they used in the original aged.

i see they aren't teaming up with the Japanese studio again.

i guess they are too busy making money hand over fist with naruto

I was like that with Ned's Atomic Dustbin for ages.

 

[xslavearcx]

[xslavearcx]

Straight continuation.
I imagine the first episode has a "Previously, on MCOG" opening.

 

[scifisam]

I'm both excited and scared about this. I was obsessed with MCoG as a kid, and rewatched the entire thing a couple of years ago with my daughter, who also lived it. This better be good!
