It has been a long time since a television show specifically based on the Mario series (such as The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!) has been run. Would you support a new official Mario television series being created?

No, I do not think that a new cartoon should be made, but I would watch it anyway since I am such a dedicated fan. 8.27% (469 votes)
No, and I would not watch it at all. Mario should stick only to video games... 12.98% (736 votes)
