Funko made vintage MOTU style Son of Zorn figures! And even though I'm not a huge fan of the show the toy is something right up my alley. #Funko #SonofZorn #Vintage #MOTU #80stoys

Just finished Son of Zorn and am kind of annoyed we won’t be getting any more of it

I’ll just get right into it. Son of Zorn isn’t anything phenomenal, but it was fun. It also seems to have failed for two reasons:

- It aired on Sundays

- It wasn’t really shooting for any Emmys

I can understand why FOX would want to put a show with any 2-D animation at all on their Sunday adult animation block, but this wasn’t an animated comedy. I think the people who still watch the Sunday block (which in itself isn’t what it once was) were aware of that too. 

It had a lot more heart than a conventional animated comedy too, taking more from the live-action family sitcom (which it really was) than the animated stuff which tends to rely on shock value and feature a whole cast of degenerate characters that never seem to grow, unlike Zorn who actually has some character development in the season.

The other issue is that we all want everything we watch to blow us away. That’s a horrible mind set to have, as it makes amazing less special. I intentionally watch silly, simple shows and read silly, simple comics more than half the time, so that the extra good stuff hits harder, but that’s not how most people consume media now, and it still wasn’t how most people consumed media in 2016 when Son of Zorn aired.

Viewers, readers, players: they all want something they’ve never seen before, that will surprise them enough to keep them enthralled. With so many shows on and off cable that are worthy of an Emmy, people don’t have time to watch entertainment that only wants to entertain, and that’s sad.

Son of Zorn is the type of show that would have found a cult following in the early 2000′s, but there’s too much TV now to try to save one of the fallen. Instead, those who enjoyed its run can hope that the creators cared about the idea enough to give it another shot, albeit with enough names and situations altered so that the networks don’t realize they’re trying to pitch them a similar show.
