There haven't been any good cartoons since the 70'-80's on Saturdays.
We used to watch the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show for hours and then the "Orbots" were on and then the "Super Friends".
Nowadays it's all these ugly little half this and that creatures yelling and punching things in space with horrible voices and no heart. And now this? My poor daughter.

I agree. saturday Mornings were a ritual at my house. Bowl Of Cookie Crisp a glass of juice and I was all set.
I attempted to watch sat. morning cartoons a few months back it was just plain dreadful.
Looking back and some of the stuff that I "Learned" watchung bugs and Co. is just amazing. About the world at that time, history, music etc etc etc.

I agree that todays cartoons blow. I put on Boomarang for my kids. It's always a fun trip down memory lane to see the same cartoons that I grew up with.

Heh. Those quotes are even funnier if you've met Ned.

Actually, Fox during most of the nineties kicked butt - Tiny Toons, Taz-Mania, The Tick, Eek! The Cat, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot.
Anyway, as to this, here's a horrifying picture. The very sight of it fills me with dread, but for all I know, kids will eat it up, and it is just one publicity still probably designed to shock.
Still... yikes.
Jay's Movie Blog - A movie-viewing diary.
Transplanted Life: Sci-fi soap opera about a man placed in a new body, updated two or three times a week.
Trading Post Inn - Another gender-bending soap, with different collaborators writing different points of view.
"What? Since when was this an energy ball movie?" - Overheard during a screening of Takashi Miike's Dead Or Alive
"What the hell religion are you people?" - Overheard during the Captain Marvel serial at SF/29
"If I feel even one bullet hit me, I will rip your lungs out through your nostrils!" - Ron Silver as himself, "Heat Vision And Jack"

at my house too. My dad would make us fried eggs on toast and we'd all watch the cartoons. "School House Rock" was a plethora of info, that helped me pass my SAT's
It's all lost. Gone are the days of innocent humor and simplicity.
Hey does anybody remember "Quisp" cereal? It had the pic of the martian kid with the propeller hat? Do they still sell that? |

Quisp! Loved that stuff. I could have sworn I saw it not long ago, but it's most likely off the market.
Although it looks like you can buy Quisp merchandise:

There have been plenty of cool cartoons in the last 10 years or so, some of them even from WB.
Specifically, I'm thinking of Animaniacs that ran in the 90s and was almost too smart for its own good. Recently, WB put forward Teen Titans on the Cartoon Network. If you haven't seen TT yet, don't condemn WB until you do, it might be the best new cartoon out there.
It's easy to look back on Sat mornings with rose colored glasses, but 90% of what we watched back then was crap too. I dare you to watch and seriously enjoy an episode of Thundarr the Barbarian or Monchi-chis (sp?). There are always cartoons that suck and ones that are great, today really is no different from then - they just come on all day instead of just Sat mornings.
But this Loonatics thing looks like a disaster in the wings. Good luck WB, you'll need it.
