Total Drama Wikipedia Article
Total Drama is a Canadian animated comedy television series which is an homage to and parody of common conventions from reality television. The show and its sequel seasons are collectively referred to as the Total Drama series. It premiered on the Canadian cable television specialty channel Teletoon in Canada on July 8, 2007, and on the American cable television channel Cartoon Network in the United States on June 5, 2008. All of the contestants have distinct personalities that serve as main plot points with the characters consisting of the eponymous fictional reality series and the contestants therein. The style of this series is similar to that of Survivor. Total Drama was met with critical acclaim upon release and has developed a cult following.

This topic is for the following shows only: which include, “Total Drama” “Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race” and “Total DramaRama”.
You can discuss anything about those here!

Total Drama Island, Revenge of the Island, and The Ridonculous Race are the only good ones.

All the other ones are just kinda eh.

World Tour was the best in my opinion, Action was kinda boring. The Ridonculus Race was good but had way too many non elimination rounds.

I actually really don't like Revenge of the Island as I think it's boring and generic. The new characters aren't very good either.

In my opinion World Tour was the best normal season. Island was good but it was sometimes annoying because of continuity issues. I agree with Frosty that Action was boring. All Stars was trash, Pakhitew Island was worse, and I just don't have a lot of love for those later seasons.

HOWEVER - the Ridonculous Race is honestly one of the best shows to ever exist on TV ever. It has great plotlines, great characters, and maintains the original Total Drama feel, with a twist. Although I agree with Frosty that there were way too many non elimination rounds.

Also, contrary to popular opinions I actually like Total Dramarama. It's fun and unique and there really isn't anything else like it.






(how did i get here lol)

Honestly World Tour doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I don't understand why only two new characters were added; and, arguably, both of them were annoying. I also wasn't a fan of the song in every episode.

(On second thought now, they added a third new character, I think, but not until halfway through the season???)

Which is all a shame, as the “fly around the world” idea could work well (as seen in The Ridonculous Race) but the two points above somewhat ruined World Tour for me (also, the old cast was getting kind of stale anyway).

I think I really liked Revenge of the Island because it was the first one I watched. I actually did like the characters in that season. Mike getting eliminated is the clip that got me into the series.

Action was my favorite. IT kept all the good characters from season 1, and then put them in a whole new batch of creative challenges. The drama was great. I also loved all the character love drama, really put some spice on TD.

also can we please get a season 8 and not this stupid baby knockoff where all the character development is gone and basically all the good characters are gone and now its just “HEY LETS TAKE CHARACTERS 5 YEAR OLDS DONT EVEN KNOW, AND MAKE THEM CRY, OVER AND OVER AND OVER!” seriously! In season 5, Gwen was focusing on becoming courtney's friend, and trying to become a “hero”. In baby show, Gwen is a “monstrous demon”. I do appreciate the cameos of characters such as the police cadet, at least they didn't ruin her.


Seriously, the only character whos entire development wasn't thrown to the dirt is Owen, O W E N.

The original total drama was doing good at appealing to 10–15 year olds, but the person behind the camera went like: what if we turned teens into babies because money?


Honestly, TD helped teens connect to the virtual people and sympathise, while in dramarama, NOBODY CAN RELATE TO THAT DUMPSTERFIRE.

One more rant: I hate the american censorship.

I was so glad when netflix put the canadian version on American netflix, but they changed it back to being censored for no ABSOBLUTE REASON!
(other than the HD cartoon network footage, but netflix decided they would censor cartoon networks version, EVEN MORE!)

The part when Lindsay lashes out on heather? All she did was say a bunch of adjectives, nothing INAPPROPRIATE, YET AMERICA DECIDES TO CNESORE ITR?!

They censor the stupidest words like “suck”, and they supposedly removed the scene where heather was locked in the freezer for a bit.

They censored much stupider words but when the word “heck” (thats the alternative word to the word im referring to) comes in they leave it untouched.

(btw this is netflixes censorship, not CN)

I don't know what the uncensored version is like, but the censored version is probably better because the bleeps are extremely long and that's kinda funny.

Agreed. Why did they turn it into a show for 5 year olds? Total DramaRama isn’t that good tbh. It’s still fun to watch but I would prefer a new season of the original Total Drama.

Actually I heard that it’s CN’s censorship. I even saw an article saying that CN censored suck 42 times once.

Whoa this thing still exists.

World Tour actually makes sense. They actually made a special before World Tour. It was a reunion and they had 3 new characters.

Alejandro, Sierra, and Blaineley. Alejandro was part of Chris’s new show Total Drama dirtbags which ended up being a lie, Sierra was just that crazy obsessed fan attending the reunion, Blaineley was the host of the reunion.

The rest is kinda complicated. If you want to know how they ended up adding three new characters you’ll have to watch the World tour aftermaths and the special.

I agree with everything except the Total DramaRama part. I mean in the middle of season 1 they randomly went on hiatus for 5 months and plus they took out the good characters like Heather and Lindsay I would love to see them on the show! They turned Gwen into a complete goth like ThatOneWeirdDude said. In the original show she wasn’t nearly as creepy. The show also started targeting 5 year olds, with stuff that you know 5 year olds would enjoy watching. Total Drama was originally for older kids anyway. The show shouldn’t end but they should at least add stuff that the total drama watchers want.

im still triggered rn:

netflix still hasnt added back 3 and 4

if anybody knows a country with 3 and 4 on netflix, let me know cus il fire up my VPN and finnaly be able to binge watch 3 and 4 without pirating it on youtube/

They took CN's censorship, and then added their own censorship.

I also think it's safe to say most of the cast died lol. In the end of season 5, most of the characters float off in bean bubbles. Now if the bubbles popped and they didnt die to the sun, then that would explain why everyone believe S8 was gonna be in space.

I remember watching this about 8-9 years ago and I've forgotten almost everything about it since then

Actually, I believe the creators confirmed they were alive.

Though, I would actually like a season with the characters in space.
