Default F*CK cartoons nowadays

I've suffered in silence for long enough.

Cartoons nowadays are SUCH mind numbing, painful, rubbish and if I knew the flotsam suckers in charge I'd punch them in the neck.

I'm not talking about Shrek, and the CG era of movies, nor the Simpsons / Family Guy etc, this is more a rant at kids cartoons.

When I was a child of 5-~11? I would set my little alarm clock to wake up an hour early or race home after school to watch whatever was available at the time, because it was worth it, they were the shit!

I'm a tad young (23) to recall the He-Man, Shera, Tigercats era but I can get on board with them! They're entertaining and reasonable!

I guess you could say Spongebob is good, but it's a little HERP for me, despite the dual audience writing.

The Smoggies, Duck Tales, Chip & Dale , The Raccoons, Batman, The Carebears, Gargoyles (underappreciated!)...the list goes on.

Personally I think our generation had the best children's programming ever!

I rest my case.

(ok I kind of cheated, it's a theatre release but I think I burned out our old VHS player watching this as a kid! the eurotrash bad guys are my favourite. the song at 34:30 still makes me wanna dance.)

I agree (i'm 24) but then i wonder if all people eventually come to realise that life sucks, and the rose-tinted glasses you look at your childhood with make you think the cartoons you watched were the best.

The raccoons was awesome ^.^

Alvin and the chipmunks, dungeons and dragons, heathcliff, the centurions, captain planet, eek the cat, pinky and the brain, rocko's modern life,
wacky races, flintstones jetsons (still classics)

I spent alot of my childhood watching cartoons [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My only real complaint with most modern cartoons, especially CN stuff, is how ADD they are.

I'm 27, and I think a lot of the stuff you listed sucks compared to what I watched when I was a kid. Although I would say your cartoons are better than what the kids watch now. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "our generation".

I end up stoned on the ouch a lot of Saturday mornings at around ten in the morning and let me tell you: He-Man and She-Ra are not as good as you remember them being. They're fucking awful. I watch 'em anyway, though.

I've considered the rose-coloured glasses argument.

Try watching Spliced on teletoon for 10 minutes and tell me you didn't walk away disgusted, and dumber for it.
