There and back again~
Dr.Pepper said:Actually, television has always been 90% garbage, just look at all of the crappy low-budget cartoons from the 60's, I won't say what shows they are because there are so many of them and it might offend the members here that liked some of them.
I thought that low-budget was the norm back then. People probably like them for nostalgic purposes or just because the cheesiness caused by the low budget is amusing enough to make it worth watching.
Dr.Pepper said:I hate it when they have to resort to bathroom humor excessively, because it is so heavily abused.
I actually won't watch a show that uses bathroom humor to a certain extent. If its a few isolated instances and its actually funny without being too offensive I don't mind as much but overall its really not that funny. Partly because the comedy aspect is so cheap in cartoons and because of this, I've never really watched very many cartoons at all outside the classics. (Mickey, Bugs Bunny, etc.)
On the subject of Scooby Doo, I think that series lasted longer than it should have. I liked Scrappy Doo in the Boo Brothers but I can see how he would get annoying, and the point where they decided it would be more interesting if the monsters were real was something I resented. The Live-action movies were something that should never have happened...
And concerning Tom and Jerry, I actually don't think I would be very startled by the amount of violence used in it. Its all slapstick, and never bothered me... and there really wasn't any blood and most of the time the injuries were shown in the form of a half-bald Tom with a black eye if memory serves me correctly.
