The Fall of Descent T.V. As We Know It?

[The Badguy]

Jesus... I don't even know where to start with this... Okay here's my main issue on this topic: We used to have great shows... Wonderful shows... we watched em all the time... It was the golden age of "Saturday Morning Cartoons" and "Lovable sitcoms after school." So... What the hell has happened to those days? I swear these days every new cartoon looks crapier and crapier. Meanwhile all the good shows are sacked and replaced with second rate crap. Meanwhile that show only ever appears, if ever again, at a prepostrous time on a channal hardly anyone watches... where the hell is the justice!?

Take WB 62 and UPN for instance... Oh my god, I can't count the days I spent watching the following shows from these two

Gargoyles
Aladin
Bonkers
X-Men
Spider-man
I think Sonic was on at one point
The Hulk
MegaMan
The Super Mario Bros Show
The ORIGINAL Power Rangers
Batman
Batman: Beyond
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

And oh so many more...

Then, suddenly as if by magic..they started disappearing!!! It started a little bit at first... Before I knew it... I hardly saw any of my favs anymore! Suddenly this total crap starts appearing... Pepper Ann... Project Zeta... Static Shock... Hysteria was alright, but ultimately a 2nd rate copy of Ren and Stimpy for me...Mucha Lucha? WTF. X-Men evolution? Some one give me a bag, I'm gonna barf.

And speaking of which... What happened to Nickolodeon? They had some good stuff! Doug was pretty good until some station stupified it into a piece of crap... Rocko's Modern Life was cool... and the little game shows they had were cool too! But then... Wait, what's that? Oh it's the sound of every single descent show on Nickolodeon making way for Nick Jr., Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, and sports galore! ugh... If I want sports I'll watch ESPN... If I wanna watch a crazy ass show, I'll (well I used to anyway) turn to Nick.

Now let's take a look at Cartoon Network. It was good at the start... Some pretty good spinoff's came and went. Then came the "Cartoon Cartoon's" as they call them, and Cartoon Network forgot all about the good ones. Sure Johnny Bravo and Dexter's lab are good to a degree, but not in dose's of 6 hours non-stop... That's just retarded... Family Guy came, and I was happy about that, but cartoon's that came up just began getting stupider(Totally Spies) and stupider(Mucha Lucha came) and stupider(Atomic Betty). I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come on Cartoon Network and I was delerious, I thought it was the originals. I watched it and told myself... WTF is this? No, that ain't right... THEY'VE MADE AN X-MEN EVOLUTION OF TMNT!!! NOOOOO!!!

Yesterday I was flipping through channals and on some random new channal I'd never heard of Spider Man was on at 3:00 AM in the morning with X-Men... It brought a tear to my eye... Not that they'd come back on... That no kid after me would be able to enjoy the good days of animation like I and I'm sure a few of you did.

I could say the same for Marvel cartoons. Spider-Man Unlimited, Avengers,
MTV's Spider-Man wasn't that good either...*Sigh*

i agree too. those were some good cartoons. i would watch all of the cartoons on the list and i loved them i couldn't get enough of them. but yeah noww as said by badguy it's just all gone to crap! why don't they have just one channel with just all good cartoons and show and nothing but those.ah but i guess thats not gonna happen so atleast we still had good shows and cartoons.


R.I.P
here lies all of the good shows and cartoon we once had.
may they rest in peace.
and lets hope they come up with some good new one or bring back the old ones.

*sigh*

i miss all those good shows, Rocko's modern life was GREAT i can still remember some of those episodes!!!
well, theres nothing that hasnt alreadt been said, but, the ONE good this that came out of this crapification of american TV..............is that it made me discover anime, sweet, sweet anime


other than that, these new shows make me want to throw my remote at my TV, so the screen'll break so i cant be stupified by this crap...........now, i'm gunna go wait for mail call to come on the history channel so i can regain some lost knowledge ^__^

The second had an awesome 80's rock intro though. And MUCH better animation.

[chaos unleashed]

[jjjynx]

I'm not trying to prove anything....but don't you guys thing we're going a little too Retro here? Man I thought we're all watching totaly different things from Sonic and Megaman already!?

[chaos unleashed]

well if it wasn't for Retro, we wont have the modern, so as a tribute to the Retro era, I listen to Retro Game Music to remind myself of the good ol' Atari, Sega, SNES days
