There is a Clone Wars (Genndy version) fan edit that eliminates the more ridiculous aspects of the cartoon. I understand it was a very good edit. Point being, those very aspects that you despise about could mostly likely be cut.
Just stating that it does grant you some needed filler information such as a Grevious entrance, and a Palpy kidnapping. However, who knows... Maybe the new show will fill in those gaps soon enough. One thing you have to say though, Genndy's Grevious is far more menacing than the one we got in ROTS or even the new series.
