Aaaaw hell yeah! I nominate this thread to best thread this year!

I''ve also noticed how the cartoons have become much much better since the mid 90s! This trend must have started somewhere 2005 or something... the super hero cartoons became much better and that new transforms (animated it was called) was the best since G1 imho. Turtles also made a return.

Nowadays I'm a dedicated follower of both the new Transformers and the new Turtles!


Well RAfux, I did not want to take up the whole title area and put in a bunch of different words for what I meant, but that would count. The same would be for Family guy I think.

 

@ Danne

I am not saying that I am out looking for cartoons, but at least they are not horrible if my kids have to watch them like they were for a long while. It was spongebob or nothing IMO. Ed, Edd, and eddy? So dumb! Rugrats....meh. Whatever else? Blah! New Scooby doo, dora, etc. That was what happened. Dora and all those types of shows became big so they took up much of networks budgets. It was only until recently that networks and cable stations started to fund other shows again.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is this the comment that got you banned? The original Rugrats was brilliant! It was one of the original cartoons that was made and marketed for children, but had dialogue, imagery and subtext that a mature demographic could appreciate and enjoy. You can go back and watch those first couple of seasons and catch things that flew over your head as a kid, but would be funny to you now. It became a steaming pile of garbage when Nickelodeon decided to expand the franchise with movies, new writers and making the babies older.
