I was thinking how crappy the Saturday morning cartoons are nowadays and how good they were in the past.  What are your thoughts?

There use to be cartoons on all the local channels on Saturday morning.

Old cartoons are much better.

Voltron
Speed Racer
He-Man
Rescue Rangers
Talespin
Scooby Doo
Ducktales
Inspector Gadget
Heathcliff
Garfield
Jetsons
Flinstones
Popeye
Ghostbusters
Bugs Bunny
Tom & Jerry
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Smurfs
Muppet Babies ( LOL )
ThunderCats
Alvin & the Chipmunks

I'm not sure all these were "Saturday" cartoons, But these were some that I watched all the time.

VOLTRON was awesome. Might be before some of you guys' time.

There was also a WWF cartoon. with Hulk Hogan, Junk Yard Dog, Rowdy Piper, and more. That was awesome too. Although I don't remember the name.

Old = Gold

New =...crap.

New stuff is mostly about kids being in school. Why the hell would a kid that goes to school 5 days a week want to watch a show about kids going to school 5 days a week?

I always watched Discovery/History/TLC while growing up.  I only watch cartoons now, but not the kid appropriate ones.

Bingo....cartoons on Saturday morning tend to lean more towards edutainment.  Although it seems like there are more cartoons on during the week than on the weekend.

Funny thing...I just overheard today people here and there where I live talking about those "vile" cartoons on TV...come to find out, their kids have been watching Robot Chicken and Adult Swim, which led to discussions about the good ol' days of cartoons.

I agree 100%.

I also remember when kids cartoons were actually funny not fighting based.

Hell yeah, all the cartoons from back in the 80's and early 90's rocked.  He-man, She-ra, Scooby Doo all rocked.  The shit on Saturday mornings is just that.  SHIT!!  I can't watch a single show.  The WWF show rocked, they had that zoo with the live puppets on and a bunch of cool shit.

My kids don't even like the stuff that's on now.  They would rather watch Scooby Doo or Tom & Jerry any day (those are about the only old school ones we can find on a regular basis)

Even the "Edutainment" stuff from before was way better, I loved School House Rock!  But it wasn't a whole show trying to teach a lesson just one song in between shows.  Hey I can still recite the preable to the Declaration of Independance just because of the song on about it.

Imo, they aren't as good as they used to be anymore, and it's not nostalgia talking.
