The GOOD 'OL or 'why cartoons now blow'
Ummon:
Recently, I went back and watched the suite of George of the Jungle/Tom Slick/Super Chicken suite and, especially with George of the Jungle, was kind of impressed, and certainly enjoyed the 'adult' humor. These seem to have a class that doesn't fade with the times. (Of course all the Bullwinkle Show cartoons are in the same class.)
SavannahLion:
You mean like how G.I. Joe went to Hell?
Couldn't bring myself to watch any classic cartoons after that. I wanted to keep those rose colored glasses on as long as possible.
shmokes:
Yeah, Transformers, Smurfs, Thundercats, etc . . . Most of the cartoons we watched as kids were seriously horrible. And cartoons today are still good. You just have to watch the good ones. Like Spongebob Squarepants, for example.
shardian:
Spongebob can be quite hilarious. I wish I could see it more. Dexter's Labratory and Jimmy Neutron are 2 other 'good' newer cartoons. Occasionally I turn on the tube on Saturday mornings - sans cable. The network channels seem to have all but abandoned cartoons!
I remember watching Rugrats BITD, along with the other good Nick cartoons of the 90's. Somehow we ended up with the 2 Rugrats movies on VHS. My 2 year old LOVES them. "Yay! Baby movie!" :laugh2:
Anyways, it is as good or better than I remember it being. The 90's was a very good era for cartoons with an adult spin.
javeryh:
I don't know... Looney Tunes are classics that never get old but some of the stuff we grew up on are unwatchable now (even Transformers much to my disappointment since that was my favorite show). There are some pretty good "modern" cartoons that are going to be classics (The Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, etc.) and even some kids ones that are great - The Mighty B is brand new and it is awesome and like others have said, Spongebob Squarepants is hilarious.
