cartoon references to arcades/video games

Yeah, I'm surprised that south park has held up pretty well though. I remember making sure to catch every episode of the Simpsons up to High School. So around 2001. Ten years and a movie later, and it's still around. Kids still like it though, so as long as they have an audience they have profit.

yeah family guy is old. I think Simpsons were pretty good at the beggining, then got really bad, then got better than really bad after they let go of the random stuff happening model that comes from fam guy. I haven't checked them out in a while.
I was searching to see if The Critic ever had a video game reference. I for some reason imagined him eating food like pac man. I swear, sometimes my friends and I would falsely remember scenes that never happened in the Simpsons. We'd all laugh though, because it fit.
Rusty Shackelford:
OFFTOPIC: The Critic was ace! Remember the dryer channel? Which became the clock channel in the Simpsons then Hypnotoad in Futarama.
SavannahLion:
I believe Groening is losing a little bit of his edge. He claimed that he wanted to quit working on Futurama because it wasn't interesting or some other ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- nonsense. The thing with Futurama is it allowed him to explore plots that simply would not be possible with the Simpsons. Then the moron flip-flops and changes his mind about producing more Futurama shows. I think he didn't realize quite what he had and the possibilities the series presented over the Simpsons.
In a nutshell, I think he's trapped. He doesn't know what else to do to make oodles of cash and he's tired of the work he's doing now.
According to Wikipedia, The Critic qualifies since Pikachu makes an appearance in S3E3. I didn't watch very many episodes of The Critic. I wanted to say it was because it conflicted with The PJ's (You see Thurgood in a Futurama episode and vice versa) but they aired about five years apart. Something else aired the same time as TC, I just can't remember what it was.
