No, that's just you being crazy. The simple fact that they haven't let Snarf talk yet makes the remake 150% better than the original. Us 90's kids have got to get rid of these nostalgia glasses. Either that or go back and watch pretty much any 90's cartoon that wasn't a. Batman the Animated series (and I'll still if only for lack of episodes in Btas call you one Batman the Brave and the Bold for similar quality and WAY more quantity) and b) you don't get to summon the Steven Speilberg toons. Other than that while yes you can find some gems I'll argue that kids today don't know how damn good they have it.
King of the Hill, mostly for the whole cast being stereotypical southerners. WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT.
Any reboot of a ten year old show that was crap even back then. Eg: Voltron Force, Thundercats.
SPONGEBOB. Nuff said
Misadventures of Flapjack. Just... just NO
Adventure Time. It's practically advertising crack.
Any Disney cartoon series. The live action ones can die in a hole as well.
I know its been said, but my little pony FIM. I've listed all of my reasons in different threads, hunt it down if you must.

Texans count as southerners!? ...Because according to any Texan I know they don't.Tommeh Brownleh said:
That's a bit harsh IMO. Sweeping generalization and all. I know it's your own opinion, but the new Thundercats seems pretty good. Have you given it a chance?Tommeh Brownleh said:
It does kind of rip the heart out of the show, but I bet it tens more cheaper to make and animate then the old school way.Soviet Heavy said:
I will say it is annoying seeing their faces animate most of all.
The new star wars cartoon. What they did to the battle droids is just horrible. And giving personlities to the clones? They are supposed to be faceless souless soldiers. Thats the whole point of a "Clone army"
To be fair, that's not entirely true. I've never seen Max and Ruby so I wouldn't know, but it is completely possible to think a cartoon for super young kids would be awesome so it stands to reason one could also suck.EClaris said:
For instance, 'Peep and the Big Wide World' is awesome!

UGH, SQUIDBILLIES. I actually don't like half the stuff on adult swim. It's just weird, and annoying. Nothing about it is interesting! Though I will say I like Superjail (ocassionally) and Venture Brothers.neonsword13-ops said:
Ahhh...What else? I don't like Fanboy and Chumchum either. That show is so STUPID.
There are a lot of live action shows I hate too, especially on the disney channel, some on cartoon network. But those don't count for this discussion. Hng.

Actually... I disagree with you on Symbionic Titan and Ben 10.
But I don't like the former on a conceptual level. And I don't like Ben 10 because it's crap compared to the original.
There are a lot of bad ones on tv right now, but if I had to pick one it would have to be that new version of looney toons. They have essentially taken all that the old cartoons were and turned them into a dull sitcomish show. They even change some of the characters into shadows of their former selves loosing the personallity that made people like them in the first place. And don't get me started on how ugly I think the cg work for the roadrunner and coyote segments are.
And right when I was about to post, this guy comes up and says everything I was going to say.Shoggoth2588 said:
People actively lose IQ while watching those shows. Seriously, do you have to use the whip cracking sound effect every time anyone moves at all?
The difference is that I've never seen a thread involving MLP that didn't end in a flame-war, and I don't place faith in people to not start another. I have no faith the detractors because it seems half of them go out of their way be as big of dicks about it as possible (take, for example, this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.308132-Worst-Cartoon-Currently-on-Air?page=8#12424760],) and I have no faith the fans because they can never let anything slide. If you're determined to see it as favouritism then I suppose that's your prerogative.Iwata said:
Isnt this the way cartoons go? When i was real young we had hr puff n stuff and other drug inspired fueled shows to scar our fragile child minds. But then we had speed racer, ultra man, the pink panther, the old school bugs bunny and friends, road runner.
Few years later we had thundercats, robotech, gi joe, and stuff.
College years we had batman the animated series, animaniacs, ren & stimpy, liquid television had some killer stuff, aeon flux, etc.
Few years later the grim adventures of billy & mandy, samurai jack, justice league, powder puff girls, courage the cowardly dog.
Either way we get highs and lows, all us "old school" peeps will recall the greats, some of which hold up better than others as the years go on, but there are peaks and valleys studios will churn out the lest common denominator to market to kids that will watch anything, then those few shows will stand out from the rest that do not pander and tweak them old school notions of what makes some cartoons great.

Well the earlier episodes like before 2004ish are really good but after that they just started milking the show for all it worth and its crap now. Really the show wasn't meant to last this long its just a shadow of its former slef at this point.ReservoirAngel said:
