Good Day fellow escapists, if you were born from 1990-1995 then you know what I'm talking about. You are an official child of the 90's because you actually remembered what happened. Like me you grew up watching re-runs of classic Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, 80s reruns of Ninja Turtles etc or waking up at 8 A.M. on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel (before they sold their soul to Pixar) were the leaders of our childhood memories and we shall never forget the nostalgia each network brings to our minds.
Sadly, watching my younger relatives one day, I caught a glimpse of the line-ups for the acclaimed 'Networks for kids' and what I saw was nothing. Nothing but terribly written cardboard sitcoms and 8 episode-before-cancelled reality shows.
Oh there were 'cartoons' on their line-ups too. They're just God-awful, its not because they're weird b/c we children of the 90s had Ren & Stimpy (THAT was weird, but clever too). Plus our sitcoms were ten times better than the ridiculous teenager pop-culture spouting materialistic nitwits that fester in at Nickelodeon OR the Cartoon Network's cartoons based on bland-personality teenagers in a mall or beach resort.
Puss-dripping boils on a back I say!
Go to Youtube type in any variation of cartoon shows or network names and you'll see nothing but videos made by people asking the same thing, WTF HAPPENED?
Mr. McDUH: "But what about Spongebob?" Spongebob is like Will Smith in 'I Am Legend,' fighting off hordes of pure brainless creatures that has no soul or thought (much like todays cartoons).
I KNOW I'm not the only one who thinks this is true. So I have decided to hold a funeral service for the good cartoons of our childhood.
THREAD: What is a cartoon that you would like to pay your respects and light a candle for in remembrance?
Please Note: This is a funeral so if you want to talk trash to me please send me a private message and I will be sure to get to it as soon as possible. Thank You.
I'll start, Good-bye Rugrats. You were funny, easy to relate to, and you touched the hearts of all children everywhere. Good-bye Tommy, Phil & Lil, Chucky, Angelica, Susie, Dill, and Kimmy. You are all missed.
