MODERATORS
Bear in mind that back then you had an underdeveloped brain. Literally.
People always say that it's just because the shows aren't made for you anymore and that's actually the problem but not the way you think.
The shows are quite literally dumber. Cartoons used to have content for parents as well as the kids. Like sneaking in adult jokes that would fly right over a kids head. Now cartoons are just about capturing attention through flashy colors and constantly changing scenes.
Put on a cartoon made decades ago and the whole family can enjoy it. Put on a modern cartoon and anyone over 12 can't stand it
Bluey would like a word, sir.... :D
I was generalizing I know there are some good cartoons out there. Gumball comes to mind. But generally the quality and witty ness have dropped
Listen old man, you're just forgetting the forgettable cartoons of your generation. Nothing has changed. If anything there is simply likely more art being made now, but in the same proportions of high-vs-low quality as before.
I mean you remember the the greats of the 80s and 90s, that's what makes them the greats! But how often do people talk about looks at Wikipedia The Little Lulu Show or Extreme Dinosaurs? As we go on, the good will be remembered and the rest will fade into obscurity.
Plus, kids have low standards. I remember begging my parents to take us to see Good Burger in theaters and I loved the hell out of it. Upon watching as an adult... yeah, it was terrible. That's not too say that shows shouldn't try to make good content for kids, but I do feel like a lot of adults don't realize how little it took to entertain them as a kid.
