My longtime avatar reminds me of a more structured time (in my teens) when I enjoyed a big bowl of Tricolor Radiatore every Thursday night. Since this is the one surviving account I have from my teenage years, I don't ever intent to change it. Sadly, it's not as easy to find that pasta in my...

The Great Grape Ape debuted in 1975, and that was one of the best cartoons ever! My perpetual joke. I agree with the OP that cartoons took a turn for the worse following the end of the classic theatrical era. I add that the poor animation of the 1970s even rivaled early CGI work, but were the...

Furthermore, the finale wrapped it up rather neatly, at least regarding Beef Tobin. The Northern Lights coming down to the Lower 48 during the finale was pretty special too and a good farewell to the show. I'd rather not know what Wolf and Ham would get up to in a hypothetical Season 6.

A modern CGI Underdog? Say it ain't so!

If the critics hate it, then it will probably be good.

Michigan J. Frog was boring, more like a one-hit blunder than a one-hit wonder. Everyone seemed to think he was so great, not me.

Be vewy vewy quiet. We're hunting Elmers

I knew Aaron from his "I Want Candy" remake he did at like 13. He's been subjected to so many death rumors over the years that it's hard for me to believe he's really dead.

"Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" by Expose "Amnesia" by 5 Seconds of Summer "Hard Days" by Brantley Gilbert

"Taylor's Version" re-recordings are artist-sanctioned destruction of some of the 21st century's best music.

Definitely the 1990s. I would say humanity peaked then. Technology was adequate but not everywhere and over-done like it is now. Music was great across all genres, for once. And of course, Pokémon & Digimon premiered. If only time could have stood still in the late '90s...

The classic Roadrunner & Wile E. Coyote series was the greatest cartoons ever made. I have always believed that and always will. I always felt like they got the short end of the stick relative to the eternally popular Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety & Sylvester, and even the relatively unfunny...

Ren & Stimpy. I can't believe I found that funny when I was little. Also Rugrats. Was cool as a little child, would annoy me so much now.

I think it's part of a larger pattern on TV in general. In this era of "binge watching" - a trend that never really resonated with me - most people want to see the same shows over and over. Variety is no longer valued.

In Pokemon, Ash would not have let Butterfree go in season 1 and would have kept Butterfree for at least a few seasons. I cried my eyes out when I saw the episode where that happened.
