Our cartoons and tv shows weren't that great...

I tried rewatching all the classic shows like a few episodes ofHey Arnold, Rugrats, Doug, Tiny Toons, Ahhh Real Monsters and Animaniacs. Honestly, they aren't that entertaining now since I'm much older. Everyone from my generation (late 80s-90s) keep going on about how our cartoons are better than the crap we have now (Fosters, Spongebob, Ben 10 etc) when really, they aren't that much different. If spongebob or fosters came out in the 80s/90s when we were still kids , everyone would be talking about how great they were too. People also say that shows like spongebob got worse over the years. Maybe it stayed the same, YOU JUST GOT OLDER!!

Dont let nostalgia cloud your judgement.

you're right

No, Spongebob seriously got worse. I can watch an older episode of Spongebob now and still laugh, while watching the newer episodes, I do not laugh.

Ducktales was and still is awesome. Some haven't aged well though (voltron, thundercats)Ontain

I'd rather watch Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends than Ducktales. If Ducktales came out this year instead of in the 90s, everyone would be hating on it and saying cartoons aren't what they used to be. It's just nostalgia thats making you remember the good times you had watching that show. You're all brainwashed I tell you!!

Its the hater inside you that clouds your judgement. Its like when I was watching an episode of spongebob with my friend a few weeks ago, and he started loling from a scene on the show and said, "man, the newer episodes arent this funny." I was like, "this episode is brand new..."

i agree.. you always think the stuff that was around when you were younger was the ---- and the stuff on today is rubbish.... same way you'll think music was awesome when you were young but sucks now that you're older..comp_atkins

You are right, but my generation of cartoons are the greatest; Bugs Bunny and Loony Toons.

though fosters is a good show too. I'm not one that says there are no good shows now. just that there are ones from the 80s and 90s that are still good today.

I used to love that song too, after I heard it on the Rugrats in Paris soundtrack. I even lip-synced to it with my "band" for a class presentation. I thought I was so cool:lol:

I gave the newer episodes as much of a chance as the older ones, and the newer ones failed to make me laugh.

I don't hate current cartoons because of nolstalgia or whatever, I do not like current cartoons because they simply fail to entertain me.

I still find Animaniacs, Freakazoid and Angry Beavers funny :(

I agree with you.

Gumby, Smurfs and Thunder Cats were cool shows. :P

I have Fraggle Rock and The Wizard of OZ (the anime) on DVD and they are still awesome!

The old Spongebob is still good, as are Rocko's Modern Life and Doug.

Have you forgotten the amazing and fabulous Sharky and George?

but nothing beats Dr. Katz, Duckman, Stressed Eric and The Maxx.

I Don't Like The Cartoons These Days On T.V None Of Them Can Compare To What I Use To Watch Back In The 90's. To Me One Of The Best Cartoons Was Rocko's Modern Life. I Use To Watch Duckman When I Was Little Living Back In Trinidad Then When Tele-Toon Brought It Back I Freaked That Was Such A Great Cartoon To.

And knowing is half the battle

ED, EDD AND EDDY FTW!!!

The only cartoon i ever liked was doug 8)

That's only half true.

Sorry, but no. I can still sit down and watch all the shows you mentioned and have a great time. Just last night I was watching Hey Arnold and Rocko's Modern Life and I was laughing non-stop.
