That was 90's Thomas.
This is the abomination it has become.
CGI ruins it completely.
It's important to note that children don't notice the same things we do. A child might find it creepy, but he wouldn't know why it was creepy.Tommy T. said:If I had kids, I'd never allow them to watch that shit. TBH I don't think a child would even want to watch that.Hazy said:Take another one, Courage the Cowardly Dog:
....CrashTestZombie said:Shows like The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Chowder have 1 or 2 good laughs but are mostly use juvenile jokes.
I second your sentiment.Bocaj2000 said:/threadWoodsey said:Maybe because you're not a kid anymore...
Kids been wanting stuff they've seen on Television since the dawn of commercials. You can't even blame that on today's shows. Blame it on good advertisement.creatiwe said:and i thought i was the only one who noticed. they seriously don't try to teach them anything these days. now it's all about selling as much merch as possible. my 9 year old niece won't stop badgering me about my girlfriend because she has watched waaaayy too much hannah montana.
bring back the muppets and sesame street

Airrazor (When seeing beaten up predacons) - Looks like the grunge look is making a return.

Also I remeber having this conversation with a girl from school a year or so ago. She had I agreed that modern kids shows sucked.
Holy crap. I seriously never realized how fucked up that show was.Hazy said:Completely and utterly this.

You could never, ever, EVER show this today.
The mixture of pedophilia/psychotic undertones today would make parents break out in a cold sweat.
Back in the 90's? They showed this shit all the time.

They took off Toonami because it was past it prime and all that. Also, all of the shows that were taken off and moved to Adult Swim because most of those kick-ass shows were not for kids. That is how we got good shows without all of the violence being edited out.Tdc2182 said:Anyone remember Toonami? It had my favorite shows like Yuyu Hakusho and DBZ. I think that had to take off the anime in an attempt to Americanize TV. That Anime was one of the reasons I watched TV. Oh yeah, and Ruroni Kenshin? That shit was the bomb. I miss the nineties-early 00's. America sucks.
