I watch when my husband tunes in.....but I rarely ever tune in purposely on my own. But.....yep! They are still funny. I was never a toon kid though.

You obviously haven't seen Invader Zim, man. Pure comedic platinum.

Still do enjoy some of them, far better than the crap that is on tv now days.

Booger 06-01-2003 07:07 PM

one thing you have to remeber a lot of the old cartoons were made for adults

Uncle Silky 06-01-2003 08:32 PM

And the humor in nearly all the new ones is, too.

Cartoons are wonderful (granted I am biased since it may be the business I am getting into hehe), but what makes certains great, is they appeal to everyone, no matter what age you were. They are simplistic in what they do, and it is the way they do it...I won't go into a whole disertation on animation lol, but a lot has to do with staging, timing, ect. I miss watching cartoons, especially the old Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, for some reason Cartoon Network is NOT part of my basic cable package :( *cry*

When's it on? What channel?

Scarlett 06-03-2003 08:12 AM

Invader Zim rocks! That's one of my favorite new cartoons.
It comes on Nickelodeon but I don't think it has a set time. I used to see it on Friday nights, but haven't seen it in awhile.

Uncle Silky 06-03-2003 11:09 AM

Zim's been cancelled, but Nickelodeon still airs reruns on the weekends. Not sure what time. In the afternoons at some point.

dicksbro 06-03-2003 11:31 AM

Thanks, Uncle Silky ... I'll be on the lookout for it!

Scarlett 06-03-2003 02:37 PM

I wonder why it was cancelled?

Uncle Silky 06-03-2003 03:40 PM

The humor was too obscure for kids, and the animation was deemed too 'dark and moody' for Nickelodeon. If Cartoon Network's smart, they'll snatch that muthafucker up and plop it right in the middle of Adult Swim. And if they don't, well... I still got all the episodes on DVD. Jhonen Vasquez is the mack's mack.

Tom & Jerry is my all time favorite cartoon, every time I watch them I die laughing. I also watch bugs bunny, daffy duck, and all those older cartoons. The more I look back at those old cartoons, they were really violent, and racist to a point. The new ones are good, but they are done by computers and not hand-drawn by people.

Uncle Silky 06-03-2003 05:03 PM

Not all of em, Ranger. Quite a few are still hand-drawn. And those that aren't are just as artistically sound as those that are. It's all art, just with a different execution and delivery.

I liked a lot of the Disney cartoons, but now (at least here) you have to order a special Disney cartoon channel in order to watch them (they don't even run any on the regular Disney channel). Much as I enjoyed them, They're not worth the extra money. Our kids are grown now and so ... well, they'll just have to do without me.

I used to like Duck Tales when it was available.
