Cartoons back in the day were awesome.

i'm talking about tom and jerry, popeye, bugs bunny, etc. they were so violent and awesome. elmer fudd shooting daffy duck point blank with a double barrel shotgun, popeye giving bluto a whacking while high on spinach, tom and jerry bashing each others craniums with mallets... imagine the uproar if squidward shot spongebob with a revolver like quick draw mcgraw?

90's cartoons were great, haven't seen anything as good since then.

Well to be honest i don't watch cartoons anymore however i've seen the odd show like Spongebob etc.

I don't watch anime either as i'm not familiar with the different shows and unsure how to access it as the channels i have don't broadcast anime.

Is it actually that they were better? (not saying they weren't) or was it just we were younger then?

I was filpping threw the channels the other dayand saw top and jerry. I was like I hasn't seen this stuff in over 20 something years. I was watching and I couldn't belive how violent cartoons were back then. People would flip now adays if they showed that stuff. And at the end of the show jerry the little mouse lit up a cigarette. My jaw hit the ground. Could you imagine the uproar if a kidscartoondid that now?

It makes you wonder are we going backwards in society?

You mean the one with the recycled opening that's going to focus entirely on a character that already had a huge arc in the first 26 episodes? Thus essentially overstaying her welcome?

A lot of the older cartoons were bad, we were just younger and have fond memories of them. Probably the only old stuff that holds up are the Looney Tunes shorts.DJ_Lae

I miss the old cartoons. I love those Sonic and Mario shows. :(ArmoredCore55

well, I can say Tom & Jerry hasn't been the same without the mammylamprey263

While there are some shows I enjoy now like Chowder, and Adventure time, and spongebob. They all shameless steal from Ren & Stimpy.

2:30 am until 6 am on certain days of the week on channel 122 I'm up watching Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, CatDog, Action League NOW, Hey Arnold (on dvd). The stuff they got away with in those shows would put them in jail today. I loved it all.

Overall the new cartoons are pretty crappy. I am not saying that there are not a couple of good ones mixed in, but for the most part they just suck. I personally hate all the political correctness in the new cartoons. I will take the older cartoons over the new stuff any day.

yeah lol.. Which is weird if you think about it I mean there can do so much more on TV now then they could back in the day in terms of sex, violence etc. But cartoons you cant even do 1/3 of the things cartoons used to do which is very very weird lol. I mean even in The Animaniacs, some jokes they did were sooo dirty lol

A lot of them were horrible and i'm glad no one remembers them, i could say that about every generation of cartoons and still be right.killyou060606

I think nostalgia is a reason why people remember them, i miss being a kid.

Pfft. Actually I think that saying Looney Tunes is funny is a bit of a stretch.

The only ones that are any good are Daffy Duck and to an extent Bugs Bunny shorts.

Tom and Jerry on the other hand... I know that in Capitalist America that show has been milked to death but over here all we see, in my 20 years of existence, is the classic, excellent cartoons by Fred Quimby, and to an extent Chuck Jones.

The Maxxlamprey263

That Chuck Jones stuff is awesome, and so were 90s cartoons like Ren and Stimpy and Rocco's Modern Life. I think somewhere in between cartoons lost their edge. Hanna Barbera, I don't see how people can sit through that.

I loved cartoons in the 90's, so cheesy they were great. :D

When the century started like 95% of all cartoons were lame. Pinky and the Brain were awesome. Also the Looney Tunes and the batman, x-men and superman shows

People who think that all cartoons after 90's are bad are just plain wrong. There's Flapjack, Samurai Jack, Avatar, Courage, and Invader Zim. There may be far less good ones, but there's still a few.
