Comments on: Whatever Happened To Good Cartoons Like Loony Tunes? http://www.swollenthumb.com/2009/12/whatever-happened-to-good-cartoons-like-loony-tunes/ Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:30:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Trey Baird http://www.swollenthumb.com/2009/12/whatever-happened-to-good-cartoons-like-loony-tunes/#comment-7910 Trey Baird Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:29:14 +0000 http://www.swollenthumb.com/?p=1574#comment-7910 Believe me, J. I can do an entire set of articles on the classic years of Nickelodeon. I thought Rocko's Modern Life was 100 times better than Spongebob, but just because Spongebob had a catchy theme song, it caught on and Rocko didn't. Ren & Stimpy was a great show too, and was a revival of the type of cartoon that Looney Tunes was... for about a year before Nickelodeon started to tame it. And Doug was really good too. It was mediocre for it's time, but it can stand toe to toe with anything they're putting out now. Thanks for commenting. Believe me, J.

I agree that it is sad that a lot of this generation has missed out on Looney Tunes. At least a lot of the parents have the DVDs and such, so they can show their children what good cartoons are. I assume that you mean Anime, as opposed to "Manga cartoons". As far as anime goes, the popularity of it goes up and down. I remember cartoons like "Noozles" and "Adventures of The Little Koala" from my childhood. Those were anime. Then Dragonball Z made anime cool for a later generation. And this generation has ADD out the ass and doesn't even know what they like. :-) Hi Turning Winds. I agree that it is sad that a lot of this generation has missed out on Looney Tunes.

Through my thoughts I think it is slowly deteriorating with regards to the new cartoons like the Manga cartoons. It really hit teens and children and even of all ages. I was been a viewer of Looney Tunes before and now it is time to say "That's all folks!" It is sad to say that Looney Tunes has been out on this generation.

I accidentally posted this article before it was finished. I agree with you though, most toons suck nowadays. @ Mitch Yeah, I've seen the banned ones. I'm not into politically correct things, but I do think we should respect all people, races, and lifestyles. But to pretend that previous generations didn't disrespect others and to try to erase the art that they created is backwards. For example, what if we pretended that the Holocaust never happened? Or what if we pretended that slavery never existed? How can we expect to right the wrongs of the past if we try to hide them from future generations? Thanks for the praise! @ Extreme John
