How many episodes have you watched today? xD

Immature, eh?  tell me more about how you made a successful sitcom that was actually mature.  last time they tried that (Arrested Development), the show got horrible ratings and was cancelled after only two and a half seasons.  Big Bang Theory is plenty funny with its own share of maturity and immaturity and some genuinely good writing.  

Today I've watched episodes 20-26. I think that's enough for today. I'll start the second season tomorrow

Off topic, but I liked the first season of BBT, it's just the sex jokes increased to the point where it wasn't worth watching.

I was using it as an example of a successful adult show whose content is sometimes handled more maturely by "children's" television.

I watch the show and I enjoy it for multiple reasons. I will not explain why but it definitely isn't because of "feminism" in me or being part of a certain type of group. I started watching it as a skeptic.
Besides, haven't you guys seen the references they make in the show. It's gold.

Replying to a post 1 month after the fact ftw, but

The 80s was a bad time for animation. The 70s was the real low-point, with most of it being mass-produced low-budget Hannah-Barbara cartoons and the Dark Age of Disney, but Disney was poor through most of the 80s as well, and the great 80s cartoons often don't stand on their own two feet (that is, are not good except through nostalgia-vision. Exceptions might be Thundarr the Barbarian and Thundercats). The 90s was where it was at for American animation, when Disney came roaring back (before they got stuck on the notion of CGing everything like everyone else who does animated movies now), and with Nickeolodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney, and Warner Brothers all producing at least a dozen classic series a piece, stuff that really was more timelessly good.

Then of course came the 2000s, when Disney and Nick switched focus to live action tweeny comedies, and Cartoon Network slumped (with the darkest days there being 2009 with CN Real, yikes).

Now it seems things are slowly healing.

Anyway, this post has no point.

lol, well I'd lock the thread for being a necro bump but I read through the whole thing so I'm not too mad that it was put on the front page. Thanks for randomly posting about 80's animation a month late ^^

Your very post shows you actually know the answer but you can't even dare directly suggesting it: ponies are used by pedogeeks as bait to lure their young victims and as trojan horses, er, actually trojan ponies, to infiltrate their communities.   

I found it on the way to looking for my Adventure Time thread.

I've seen the show and I have to say that the theory is that they're so deep in the trolling of watching the show that they're actually trolling themselves so that they believe they like it!

Insanely wild theory obviously, but it is what I think.
