I will third that one. But only the old school uncut/unrated Looney Tunes. Totally un-PC and totally hilarious!

Invader Zim, Dave the Barbarian, Phineas and Ferb (sometimes. Most of the time it is pretty formulic), and Avatar are all good. Unfortunatly, most of those are cancelled or finished.

Yeah, maybe the end for the kids. But a decent portion of my DVR recording is stuff from Adult Swim, or otherwise on Comedy Central. But for the old school stuff like G.I. Joe and Gargoyles? Yeah, I haven't seen stuff like that for kids in a long time.

Oh my god! Someone else who saw Gargoyles! I always thought i was the only one.

I miss Ahh! Real Monsters, The Angry Beavers, and Invader Zim (though that was relatively modern and I watched it because I read JTHM...). The stuff out now is... disheartening, for the most part. There are some gems (Avatar), but otherwise it's really sad.

Except I DO like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends... And ChalkZone, a few years back, tickled me a bit.

I don't count the more "mature" cartoons, like Futurama, Family Guy, etc in this category...

edit: Gargoyles! Oh man! Saturday mornings with that, Spider-Man, and X-Men... oh, to be young...

Yes Gargoyles rocked. And had a lot of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation doing the voices.

Gargoyles was great. Angela used to be my hero~

Biker Mice From Mars was another one I loved. Hilariously bad.

Odds are I'm going to be beaten to death for asking this but what was Gargoyles about? I never did see it as a kid, too busy watching something else at the time.

There is actually a Biker Mice From Mars DS game.

I wondered how the hell they managed to do that.

I went ahead and just got the plot off Wikipedia, mostly because I'm sleepy. All that matters, though, it is was amazing.

You may as well just YouTube it. I'm sure it's on there, and watching it would do a 1000% better job of explaining the plot.

well...there are certain exceptions like avatar but pitfuly are exception not the rule.

Going to have to agree with broadband and say that there are some good shows out there, but they seem to be few and far between. Although, all in all, I think its a hard call to make as expectations seem to rise with age. So much of what I thought of as /AMAZING/ as a kid, is terribly, terribly cheesy when revisited as an adult. But Avatar did seem to bridge the gap of being well done and accessible for a large audience.

I honestly stood in the game store for about 20 minutes, just holding the box, and boggling how and why they made a new game on a system that wasn't even a figment of its creators imagination when the series the game is based on ended.

I don't think that cartoons are dying, it's just that your mentality has changed from when you were a kid. That said, while it may be arguable that childrens cartoons are going by the wayside, I still find a lot of adult cartoons to be positively hilarious.

If you watch some of the older cartoons with an adult eye...you can see a lot more than was previously there...

Like when Bubbles offers Professor X 'a certain something' on his date in Mommy Fearest.
