Saturday morning American broadcast TV was once animation's home field. Filling a cereal bowl with artificially colored sugar pebbles and staring at the tube was every kid's weekend plan. Not any more: For the first time in 50-plus years, you won't find a block of 100% animation on broadcast.
I am most sour about this. We need to change this heniousness. Come my Iwaku army! Rebel against this tyrannical broadcasting hegemony! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
Have you seen the shows they have nowadays? It may be for the best. It's not like the way it was in the 90s. <_<
Good point. The shows they have nowadays are just... ugh. There's no words. They're aweful. I miss the 90's. Wow.. did I just say that?
HAA HAA Y'ALL HAVE TO PLAY OUTSIDE LIKE III DIIID~ Oh wait. You can still watch episodes (re-runs anyway) of just about anything online, plus Videogames, personal computers, and cell phones are commonplace now. QUITCHER BITCHIN YA PRIVILEGED SNOTS >={
On terms of principles, how many kids aren't just watching CN, Nick, or Disney in the mornings nowadays, I'm pretty sure at least CN has super special saturday morning premiere cartoons.
Who on earth still has a childhood in this day and age? Seven year olds are too busy watching hardcore Dutch pornography and listening to gangsta rap to bother with cartoons any more.
Thing is, not every family in the US has access to cable or the internet. Yeah, the choices might sucked in recent years compared to our nostalgic views of the 1990s but the principle matters.
I felt this coming for a long time...I moved to netlfix and the internet for a reason.... FUCK TELEVISION IT'S ALL ON THE INTERNET.
While Saturday cartoons were around when I was a wee lad, I opted instead for MTV. 80s music was bad ass.
The thing that pisses me off more is the fact that kids don't have to run super fast to the TV to watch what they want. I HAD TO FUCKIN EAT MY CARROTS AS FAST AS I COULD SO I COULD WATCH ANOTHER EPISODE OF BEYBLADE. Now kids get whateeeeever they want, even the good stuff that shows up only during school hours. WHY COULDN'T THIS TECHNOLOGY BE INVENTED WHEN I WAS A CHILD???
