August 21, 200719 yr I have finally found children's programming that is WORSE than the Doodlebops (which is not allowed in my household). Welcome, Yo Gabba Gabba http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggrOcBWqHiU So when do you put the downfall of cartoon programming? I personally blame The Smurfs.
August 21, 200719 yr Are you just picking on the Smurfs because they are blue, that is discrimination, Smurfs are people to.......Wait a minute I'm not in the PR. Personally, I like the older cartoons, and my children grew up with the same cartoons that I grew up with, and those cartoons are ageless. My children loved the Buggs Bunny/Elmer Fudd, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, and Fog Horn Leg Horn cartoons. By the way I used to love the Smurfs. I personally think that the beginning of the end was Rin and Stimpy. That was the first one that I remember that crossed the line. Then the Simpson's (an adult cartoon that many believed was a children's cartoon), then came Bevis and Butthead (which was wrong), and finally the granddaddy of all bad cartoons - South Park. These, I believe was the down fall of modern cartoons. Many people think that if it's a cartoon, it is ok for kids. Now many of these cartoons are adult cartoons.
August 21, 200719 yr There are some messed up cartoons out there right now, and this one just looks ridiculous. They've been playing previews for the past month or so. Saturday morning cartoons used to be the best, but the shows they play in the morning now are horrible. There are only a few cartoons out there that I can really stand to sit and watch with my daughter.

I loved getting up on Saturdays as a kid and watching Popeye, Bugs, Daffy and the gang. I don't know when cartoons started being just for adults but think that it's sad that kids now days miss out.

August 21, 200719 yr Punky Brewster was a cartoon? For a short time, yes. We all know how bad the actual show sucked so you can imagine the cartoon.

Kids now days don't know what a real cartoon is do they?
August 21, 200719 yr I loved Courage the Cowardly Dog and they took it off a few years ago although reruns have been on recently. Most of the rest of them are so bad that my son and I watch the old ones.
August 21, 200719 yr Kids now days don't know what a real cartoon is do they? My kids love the older cartoons, we quote cartoon lines back and forth, they are amased that I know the lines to the cartoons that they like to watch. Our favorite set of lines to quote back and forth is: rabbit season, duck season, shoot him now shoot him now, no bullets left. That cartoon we can quote almost all the entire cartoon.

I completely agree with the bolded parts. There just aren't as many good cartoons out there these days. Hearsay, try Avatar: The Last Airbender....I personally haven't found it terrible, and the kids really like it. Of course, this is coming from a former Smurfs fan.......
August 21, 200719 yr And we wonder why kids are going out and shooting places up these days. It aint from playing Grand Theft Auto, it's from watching this crap. When I was younger I watched I Love Lucy, Happy Days, The Wonder Years and Westerns. Those shows don't even come on anymore I don't think.

Agree with all of that, with the exception of the Smurf thing, I hated the Smurfs.
