You know, I wonder what ever happened to the good old days. The days of Hey Arnold, Catdog, Doug, Dexter's Laboratory, Rugrats, Johnny Bravo, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc. etc. The list could stretch until the post limit but no one seems to realize anymore. Ask a little kid these days and they'll list shows that drive you crazy because they were nothing compared to the shows of the 90s and early 00's.
Bring back the days of the classic cartoons. The days when cartoons were for 50% enjoyment, 25% humor, 20% adventure, and 5% educational. If you disagree with my grossly exaggerated statistics, try flipping through the cartoons kids watch these days and try to last more than 2 minutes without the main character trying to teach you something,
I miss the cartoons of the old days. Am I talking about the days of Backstreet Boys and N'Sync? No.
I'm talking about the days when ignorance truly was bliss. When candy meant yummy and money meant funny green paper. In fact, I'd love to just have a rerun marathon of the cartoons of the good ol' days going on all day for an entire month. You'd see me there.
Unfortunately, the rule of the more "brainless" cartoons has subsided and the reign of "educational" cartoons has usurped its throne. With utmost sorrow, I have to admit that I never would have thought I would see the day when a monkey in red Boots would teach us our alphabet.
Monkeys 1, Humans 0.
Tis' a sad sad day for humanity.

i agree the cartoons from back in the day were more adventurous, but i also have to say that times change and that there is a reason of why everything is becoming more educational, The reason is... matter of fact i also question myself wondering which one is that reason i still miss the ones that i used to watch Saint Seya, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball etc, hey im watching Avatar, the legend of Aang, you should watch it, its fun really fun.
ReplyDeleteI wonder as well! The disney channel and nick now are nothing compared to before! Everything now is grown, so much atitude and I see my little sister picking up the same habits. They completely cut out the stuff that was just good, where are the wild thorn berrys? Rugrats?Rocket Power? Out of the Box? I know I am still young but my eyes are open enough to see the changes.
