Go back and watch any of the cartoons we grew up with like Thundercats, Transformers, G.I. Joe or He-man and I garuntee you will find nothing but garbage.

The same regurgitated plots, stupid one-liners, one-dimensional villians and utterly worthless "moral of the story" dialouge at the end of every episode.

We were all idiots and our childish brains had no way of knowing we were watching pure trash back then, but our adult brains should readily recognize this. Stop pretending that cartoons were any better back then. They were just as devoid of intelligence then as they are now.

Of all the cartoons I watched as a kid, the one I still love and can still go back and watch is the Bug's Bunny and Tweety Show. So, not all of it was shite.

As most of you, I grew up on Nickelodeon, and I'm glad that someone else has heard of Pinwheel since no one in my area seems to have heard of it.

On my cable system there are 2 Nickelodeon spin-off channels, Nick GAS (Games and Sports) which shows almost all of the Nick gameshows (Legends of the Hidden Temple is on as I type this), and Nicktoons which shows most of the cartoons shown during the mid 90's to the early 2000's(none of the old stuff unfortunately). Neither of these channels show the old live-action shows, though.

Face it people, the VAST majority of shit from the 80's is fucking terrible now, and its only blind nostalgia that makes people claim that Thundercats, GI Joe and He-Man are actually good shows. With that said, it just goes to show you one thing: kids are stupid and they will watch ANYTHING. I gaurantee that when the kids of today grow up they will end up praising the shitty shows that they are watching today in the same way that 20+ year olds today swear that Inspector Gadget and all the other shows of the era were awesome.

Complete and total agreeance.

Um, that was just a compilation of Looney Tunes cartoons made in the 30's-60's. So if anything, saying that's all you can go back and watch hurts your argument for 80's cartoons.

The Tick needs to be out on DVD, dammit. Pinky and the Brain, too.

You should watch Max & Ruby if you think 80s shows were bad. Which is a new kid's show...

I don't normally watch shows created for preschoolers.

I know. And I wasn't arguing in favor of 80s cartoons.
