I enjoyed it all the way up until the "new" episodes of Squarepants came straggling out and they kept advertising SPECIAL AFTER SPECIAL. The good old days of My Life as a Teenage Robot, old Spongebob, Rocket Power, The X's, Catdog, Jimmy Neutron, etc...

I hear that sort of thing a lot here...especially from the younger members---saying that cartoons just aren't what they used to be.
 
I think what's really happening is that you're all just not what you used to be, and maybe you've simply outgrown cartoons.  I remember that happening to me.  One year, I thought Jonny Quest was great; the next year I couldn't figure out why I ever even watched it.

They're not. Actually, other than little scraps of animation and "undead cartoons" like Family Guy, most of the stuff on TV nowadays is reality shows and live-action. God help you if you don't have a DVR to record reruns or Nicktoons Network/Boomerang/whathaveyou.

Hahahaha I love how everyone (or every generation for that matter) is always griping about "cartoons these days", simply put most of what Nick and CN have target demographic as Thor mentioned earlier is 6-12, so don't expect much unless you're tuning in [adultswim]. You're best bet is to hunt for a good stream/download site and finding your favourite shows, or find new ones.

If you want something more your age, there's a wide spectrum of shows that just don't get much airplay. Thank goodness for the internet. USE IT! for example:



One of the main reason for poor cartoons are that many studios are looking for something quick and cheap to make, but sells, and kids are an easier target for merchandising and etc because most kids will practically watch anything. Like most companies and what not: It's all about the Benjamins baby

I swear, Dora the Explorer sucks these days.  Barney, too, not to mention Teletubbies.  They used to be so much better back in the olden days.  I can barely stand to watch them anymore.  Angry

I hate Dora the Explorer now. The colors are brighter and the framing device of "her being in a computer-game" died out, her voice is now high and squealy, and the stupidity skyrocketed in the show. Map has become the most irritating character (for me) on the show now.
