Anyone remember this show that used to be on Cartoon Network a couple years ago? It's about a Samurai warrior who gets thrown into a portal in time and is trying to find a way back home to his own time so he can defeat the evil shape shifting wizard Aku. The show had a lot of good action scenes and was quite humorous at sometimes. Not to mention the artwork seemed pretty original. I remember this show when it was brand new and I was finishing up middle school. Then somewhere in high school, the show was canceled. Does anyone know if they actually completed the story to Samurai Jack?

I remember watching this show a lot. I don't know if the story was completed or why it got canceled. It really was a great show. I hope it comes out on DVD.

I do remember this show. It was awesome. My sister still likes it, I haven't really watched it in ages though.

I brought up the topic because I noticed it on the Boomerang channel the other day. The latest episode I can remember is the one where Jack has to fight the guardian to access the portal but loses though the guardian spares his life because of a future vision he sees of jack in the portal. I'm pretty sure that all 4 seasons are out on dvd though.

I remember watching that show. It used be hot back in the days. I think it still runs on Boomerang, but I don't know the time.

I was a fan of this show 8D I used to watch it a lot, I knew every episode xD but now it's gone D:

Samurai Jack's an awesome show!

However, due to it getting axed, the story wasn't ever really concluded. But, the last I checked, there's been talk of a Samurai Jack movie. Hopefully, that will give the show the closure it needs.

Where did you hear about this?

(you'll need an Imdb PRO account for this one. According to the page, it's slated for a 2011 release)

If/When they begin work, my question is who will they get to voice Aku? The guy who voiced him (Mako) died a few years ago and did a phenomenal job with Aku; whoever gets hired has some big shoes to fill.

Samurai Jack was a really awesome show! XD They did run it again on cartoon network for some time, but then they removed it again... I didn't know it played on Boomerang, so I guess I'd better check it out. But I do remember one episode where there were some little kids and one was playing Samurai Jack. Then Aku tried to tell them a story, but then the kids told a story instead. ^^ I love the boy's immitation!!! XD

Anyway, I do hope that they bring it back. >< The only samurai action goodness that I can get around here is Samurai 7...

Hahaha, yea I remember that episode. I thought it was funny how they did a parody of The Shining mixed with the 3 little pigs. "I'll huff...and I'll puff...AND I'M COMING IN!!!" "Here's Jackie!"

Samurai Jack is great, best episode was the one with the Scot

"Ack! Ye treeryin teh get a look up mah kilt?"
or something said to that effect, havent seen Samurai jack in yrs but it was a great show. Only post 90's cartoon show that used any real cool action fights along with moving storylines, was a good idea replacing enemies with robots so blood and guts were essentially just wires and gears ;P

I used to watch it along time ago, I thought it was intresting.
