Do you know why cartoons are bad, because you are not a child anymore.

Hi no Seijin

Nonsense.  It's a matter of taste.  Some of us don't like the crude humor behind many of the new cartoon shows coming out.

The thing is you are saying, how cartoons have gone down hill recently, but the thing is that was when you were younger. And those cartoons you did watch were aimed at younger audiences. Thats why it seems like the cartoons are rubbish now. Because you are older and those cartoons dont have the same appeal.
There are still good ones aimed at older audiences though.

I know that's not true. I still like some cartoons like Xiaolin Showdown, Avatar and Danny Phantom. And even cartoons for little kids can still be interesting. My problem is the lack of originality and the wrong message that gets send into the world. All cartoons nowadays seem to be about high school, spies or are the worst kind of (promotional) anime out there. Or a cheap "wannabe remake" of an old show. And they all are the same. I also dislike a show like Pucca because if you like that show, you are either someone with a twisted mind or a sexist. That show is so wrong. Yet I know parents won't mind their children watching it. Parents are fooled with cute graphics, while the messages broadcasted are terrible.

About two years ago, I started to search for info about these old shows. I cried when I found retrojunk.com and other sites dedicated to preserving the memories. I still could sing along most intro songs. ^^ I'm aware that some shows, like the Super Mario Bros show, would nowadays not make it to my fav list. But tell me, are there still shows out there with the quality of Teddy Ruxpin, Samurai Pizza Cats, Doctor Snuggles, Transformers, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Alfred J. Quack, David the Gnome etc? Yes, but only a very  very  very few. The quantity quality is gone. And I hate it. Especially because someone has that tapes and could bring them back on tv.......DVDs are good, but I think the current generation will not be aware of the jewels out there unless they have older brothers or sisters.

Ok, sorry.
I see what you mean, but take something you watched when you were 5 I doubt you would still be interested, thats all I am saying.
Of course some cartoons are timeless, and for all ages but some just aren't.

I personally dont like them at all.

Me and my brother like altering cartoons (we had to watch them with our cousin).
Franklin the turtle became. Franklin the chainsaw brandishing turtle.
It was Hilarious.

But no, when i am ill, I watch baby cartoons, they make me cheer up. Except one where a dog got trapped in a bus :'(

Nabooru

Oh yes I do that, but if they are crappy I go back to my music videos  :)

I never liked Looney toons.

But I have to admit, I watched this thing called "Timothy goes to school" and thought it was the damn cutest thing ever.

Anyway, Soon a reality show called Shipwrecked starts, that programme is weird, but I like it.

Nabooru

When I'm ill I also watch things like Trisha. It makes my life seem awesome.
