I admit I took tom and jerry and all the Hanna&Barbera cartoons for granted... probably because I'm so young and not knowledgable about how much impact they had on the industry- still am actually. But I did enjoy them even if I'd usually flip the channel whenever one of those "old" cartoons came on. Now I call them rightfully (I hope) "classic" since I appreciate good old american animation more than the stupid pokemon stuff I got suckererd into wasting life watching.

note that I do love anime, the good stuff anyway.
