Beyblade was awesome 5-6 years ago.

They should just bring back older cartoons, my cousin is 10 is i gave him the whole DB, DBZ colection and he friggin loves it more than anything on crappy TV these days.

I remember my saturday morning as a child, wake up watch DBZ, then pokemon and then some Power Rangers.

It's sad when you use Dragonball Z as the standard to which today's cartoons should aspire. How about some cartoons from the late 80's and early 90's?

it was Ninja Turtles for me. The old 80's one, not that lame TMNT

Technically DBZ was around during the late 80's and early 90's. But yeah it seems whenever these arguments come up someone always mentions DBZ as the best of it.

There are some good shows on, but most of them are pretty bad.

I'm about to blow your mind here.

When you were a kid there were a few good shows, but most of them were pretty bad too. It's all the same, just different shows.

--
Woof!

DBZ, Pokemon, Ahh Real Monsters, Rugrats, Mighty Ducks, Angry Beavers, Batman, Biker Mice from Mars, Catdog, Rockos Modern Life, Cow and Chicken, Dexters Lab, Digimon, Earthworm Jim, Gargoyles, Johnny Bravo, Ren and Stimpy, Southpark, The Simpsons, Street Sharks, Super Mario Cartoon, Captain Planet....

...I could go on for hours, it was awesome growing up in the early 90s.

Well, saturday morning has one good program and that's pokemon. Can't blame you for not liking Beyblade, Bakugan and Redekai, they're all bad.

Oh god another one of these 90s are awesome topics.

Does ANYONE ever figure that you think the 90s are awesome because you filtered out all the CRAP that was in the 90s? Memory isn't as accurate as you think it is.

I mean, what makes your statement that 90s=awesome/today=crap anymore or less idiotic then older generations who thought the 90s were crap?

Oh god another one of these, every generation is as good as every other generation. Cut the crap dude, there was alot of terrible things in the 90s, but there were also more quality things too. There was a lot less of the teeny bopper crap. Teeny boppers in the 90s enjoyed the same things that adults enjoyed. There was no beiber.

Where did I said that one generation was better than another? Oh right, I didn't.

I was talking about nostalgia tainted with rose-colored glasses.

And really, you think there was no teeny bopper crap in the 90s? I didn't know Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera didn't exist. lol

Adults enjoyed the Backstreet Boys and their ilk?

I'm not speaking for any boy band's quality here, but you're delusional if you think 14 year old girls and their parents have even remotely similar tastes in music.

This has always confused me, growing up half of the cartoons on tv were reruns of the great 80s shows.

Even more annoying than those who are blinded by nostalgia, are those who counteractively shut their eyes to any notion that something in the past WAS, in fact, better than it is now.

You cannot TELL me today's cartoons are just as good, or rather, as plentiful in quality as they were in the 80's and 90's. The 80's were the renaissance of animation. I know that, and I wasn't even old enough to experience them when they were on. As for the 90's, make a comparative list of all the quality cartoons from the 90's, then one for the present. Then put them on a teeter totter and watch as the side with the 90's stack is so much heavier that it slams down so hard that it pierces through the Earth's crust, sending tremors that make the Great Wall of China quiver in its boots. And the Great Wall doesn't even usually wear boots; the tremors would convince it to PUT BOOTS ON just so it could quiver in them.

Reasons the 90s were awesome.

A ridiculously good amount of Action Movies.
Playstation
Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, IX and tactics.
TES: Daggerfall
Dance Music was actually fun.
The Cartoon as I stated in an earlier post.
Flanny Shirts
Music was music, it wasn't all about sex.
PRO freakin WRESTLING. Attitude Era baby!
The original Razor scooters.
AFL ( for the aussies only, the game was a hell of a lot better in the 90s)

Also, I Am Weasel was bad and Avatar is great.

The problem with 90s cartoons is that so many of them were either extreme neon versions of 80s shows, or way too serious to be entertaining.

This is funny because DBZ is a late 80's cartoon. The fact it is still relevant today says a lot actually.

....how on earth have animaniacs, pinky and the brain, chip 'n dale, tale spin, darkwing duck, reboot, and freakazoid not been mentioned. hell, batman returns also needs a mention in there.

those were some of the best cartoons of the 90s, easily that appealed to all ages.


and anime has gotten so much ridiculously better overall that it's crazy to take almost any of 'em because the art's very dated in a lot of them. some hold up still, many don't. it's gotten so much bigger too that it's one of the most diverse mediums you'll find too, and all while staying as cartoons. kids are fine in that regard.

US shows are the ones who've been dropping the ball, but occasionally a gem is found. Spectacular Spider-Man was far as i'm concerned the best comic book superhero cartoon ever made. it had all the charm that the good cartoons have had, but had so much better action scenes in it, and humor that rivaled the best of 'em. flat out best in that category. Justice League Unlimited didn't end THAT long ago, but the replacements have been disappointing.

like yeah, saturday morning cartoons have generally sucked for a lot of the past 6-8 years or so, but there are definite gems in there. we've just sadly moved to a weaker style of animation since it's cheaper. some can still make good stuff with it (i occasionally enjoy Johnny when i turn TV on that early in the morning), but a lot suck at it (everything related to Legion, but then again the source material is horrible so they could only do so much). i also heard that if you could get past the art style that the newer Batman series had (has?) there was a legitimately good show in there too. i never could however, and its fight scenes weren't enough to wow me like Spidey did.

Too serious? How were 90s cartoons too serious?

SuperNiceDog hasn't won yet.

I'm usually one of those "your generation was better to you because you lived it" people, but when it comes to cartoons, I consider it factual that the late 80s-90s was a golden age. BTAS, Gargoyles, Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, TMNT, etc.

Also, if I ever had children (lol) I would just buy DVDs of the above shows for my kids and never turn on the crap they have now. Problem solved.

I meant, like, in America. Japanese things that imported like 15 years later, and take 15 more years to complete an entire story arc don't count.


Also, are we talking about strictly Saturday morning cartoons, or cartoons in general?

Uh, yeah, I Am Weasel was a damn great show.
