What happened to good cartoons!?

Guys what ever happened to the good cartoons you know the ones that were on TV in the 90s and early 2000s?What ever happened to cartoonist who actually used to draw?! The only thing Disney shows these days is this crap:

Disneyand Nickelodeon was so good in the 90s and early 2000s and now all they have is these emo kids and wanna be singers.What ever happened to......

and

The only channel that shows good stuff now is Cartoon Network.Man the kids in this generation dont even know what good cartoons are.

i cant stand cartoon nerwork.

i also miss toonami:cry:

damn you CN!!1:x

i don't know but it's rather sad. People just aren't putting thought into them. and being creative anymore. They just make everything vector based. What happened to shows like Kablam?

Best show ever.

nothing beats Smurfs, Looney Tunes, Donald Duck, Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Jetsons...and all the other old cartoons

I'm 21 and still like them...those are awesome classics

Part of it is cartoon companies have dumbed the shows way down to entertain like 5 years olds now where as they used to have a lot of adult humor. The other is the cartoon companies don't have the money they once did because kids are into other shows how (probably because the current ones suck).

Ya, all the cartoons that are worth watching are dead.

Also, people liked Recess? I HATED Recess, that was my least favorite show growing up. :o

I miss my tiny toons and animaniacs. Bugs bunny was taken off the air because he wears dresses and kisses boys and replaced with violent cartoons from japan who look like michael Jackson. It's really sad. Kids today prefer the violent nature over quality cartoons, but thats a sign of the times. If you are a product of the now generation like you have some type of mental disease or are suicidal or would be with the slightest hint of something bad happening to you.

Man i remember the days when you could get into a fight with a bully at school and be playing baseball with him later that day, never worrying about him going insane and bringing a gun to school, or having you arrested because YOU FOUGHT BACK and hurt him.

Not all of them suck now but a big majority of them do. GrandJury

People realised kids have no taste and will pretty much watch anything you tell them to watch.kamikaze_pigmy

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]No they ALL suck now. At least all the ones on Cartoon Network and Nick. Thank God for Boomerang.

I realized the shows are even funnier when you re-watch them because you get the jokes that went over your head before.

[QUOTE="supa_badman"][QUOTE="Theokhoth"] Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't bad, but everything else. . .yeah.Theokhoth

I partially blame Family Guy. That show's success (back when people still watched it) made cartoon devs think totally random, stupid, dumbed down humor was the new funny. That fad died off some but the trend still continues today. Everything in the cartoons is super random and trying too hard to be funny.

You grew up. Today's cartoons don't appeal to you anymore, and the only thing that keeps you into in cartoons from the 90's is nostalgia.

All I can say is that I'm grateful that some of them are available on DVD.

Don't they have 'Retro' cartoon channels? I know there are some, I just don't have it on my T.V.

I don't think is just cartoons but anime as well imo. yea I haven't found a good anime that is mature as like cowboy bebop,samurai champloo, or Ghost in the Shell. Yea I hear a lot of anime fans talk about Death Note and I watch like the 5 first. Thought it was boring imo. Cmon Japan! Release more anime for a a mature audience. Haruhi Suzumiya anime. It looks really dumb and I don't like its design.

does this look a 17 year old to you?

It died, sadly...

The ancient days of CN and Nick were the best, compared to now.

if you turn on any kids' channel that used to air that kind of stuff, I can promise you you'll vomit in your mouth a little at what's on now. 3-D looking, shiny crap is the new 'in' thing. There's some show that seems to be always on that's a mix of anime, 3-D and what looks like dinosaur figurines. The standard has gone severely downhill.XilePrincess

Pirate speaks the truth, it's Family Guy's fault.

Nothing happened to them Something happened to you though, you grew up. Called nostalgia, those shows you used to watch sucked just as much as the ones you are complaining about now...you just remember how much you liked them when you were young enough that you didn't care about how lame those shows were. Darth-Caedus

This pretty much and I'm amused that every time starts one of these topics I just know they're going to mention a lot of really awful '90s cartoons and that the same complaints they're making against the modern cartoons are the same complaints that those that grew up in the '80s made against their favorite cartoons.

It's important to realize that even if it's crap you can still love it to death. I mean, I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Speed Racer to death and back but I would never tell somebody that it was good -- because it's not.

I totally agree. Nick and Disney have a lot of shows about real people rather than cartoons. I miss Courage the Cowardly Dog and a few other shows. I think the content of today's show are different. There aren't any cartoons that I feel adults could be entertained (Courage the Cowardly Dog) We now have Total Drama Island and other plain shows. :(

Current cartoons are perfect for children just like cartoons of the 90s were the perfect cartoons for most of us.

Guys what ever happened to the good cartoons you know the ones that were on TV in the 90s and early 2000s?What ever happened to cartoonist who actually used to draw?! The only thing Disney shows these days is this crap:

I only use CN for Adult Swim now. Sad, huh?. If Adult Swim wasn't there, it'd be dead. I miss old CN.

They discovered something that makes more money. Stereotypes political correctness and playing off of undeveloped hormones.

loved this show

Spongebob used to be good but now it's crap.
