I know when I was young I didn’t always watch shows that were exactly for kids but I survived. I knew that when I finally sat down to watch cartoons it would be in good fun. I would come out laughing smiling or whatever emotion it evoked, but I never came out feeling violent ready to hurt someone. OMG have you sat down and watched cartoons lately. I mean excluding South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons and the Boondocks because clearly those are cartoons for adults. I do not know if it is just me and feel free to argue but some cartoons are just stupid. lol I’m not saying there are not good cartoons out there but um.. the bad outweighs the good here. Can you remember watching Looney tunes, Tom and Jerry, Animaniacs? The list goes on and on...I used to love those cartoons. I can't remember my parents’ having to tell us which cartoons we could watch it was free game.
Nowaday
s parents have to decide which cartoons their children can and cannot watch. I always thought that Spongebob was a cartoon in good fun until someone told me that she doesn’t let her children watch it because Spongebob is very mean and degrading to his friends. I was like wow who would have known. Have you turned on the TV on an early Saturday morning lately? Where are the cartoons? When I put the TV on for my niece to watch all they show are re-runs and she is quick to tell me in a minute … “um aunty I saw this already” These days my cousins are watching the same shows that I am … that can’t be good. Maybe I’m just a big kid but I miss the old cartoons that used to be on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network etc.I know animation is becoming very popular but you have to draw the line somewhere. When I sit down and watch cartoons some of the references they make don’t even apply to children. I laugh and they’re like I don’t get it. If they keep making cartoons like that they’re going to make the children grow up before their time. The fact that it is a cartoon alone will attract the children but if you are including sexual content and mature situations, what message exactly are you sending to these kids? I am going to start a revolt lol BRING BACK THE GOOD CARTOONS!!! Join my campaign =D
i totally agree with you. we had the best cartoons when we were growing up. all the old school superhero cartoons and stuff like that. nowadays there are no more good cartoons on at all. i feel bad for kids these days because i remember when saturday mornings you would wake up early to watch all your favorite cartoons back to back. im definitely joining your campaign. BRING BACK GOOD CARTOONS!!
ReplyDeleteThere was a whole controversy with sponge bob being gay, I don’t remember the details but I’ve watched it and its really not for kids I find it to be stupid actually. I hate the fact they make so many things promoting sponge bob such as toys, candy, bed sets etc...Its really not even for children under a certain age, now Dora and Diego are that’s something for children anyway I definitely agree with you we did have the best cartoons growing up
ReplyDeleteSponge BOB is gay? Wait what?!? Lol
ReplyDeleteWith regards to cartoons nowadays, there are plenty of good cartoons out there, or children can watch reruns of old ones, there is nothing wrong with that.
Hey, Tom & Jerry been around for how long now? Since 1940s-50s...Several generations grew up on the same cartoon and it is still relevant...
lol thanks James and G....
ReplyDeletei rail about this all the time! cartoons are getting to be too adult. they are targeted to kids and adults but are really for adults. they're animated and everyone thinks they're okay. spongebob, when you sit down and listen to the dialogue is sooo inappropriate. i stop watching that years ago, even when i was a kid. remember nick jr? i loved the cartoons on there (like the busy world of richard scary and others). i also love rugrats, sailor moon, courage the cowardly dog ('cept that epi with the alien duck; that was kind of scary), old school stuff like boomerang...those were the good old days.
