So for years I've been languishing under the opinion that cartoons today sucked. I grew up in the golden age of Nickelodeon, with shows like Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers, etc. Whenever I turn on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon these days all I see is bullshit.
It's funny, I tend to agree with your about growing up during the golden age of cartoons, but I would have listed:
He-Man
Mask
Voltron
Thundercats
DuckTales
Batman TAS
X-Men TAS
Spider-Man TAS
etc...
But when I think of the crap cartoons that were coming out as I was getting out of cartoons, I think of Rugrats, and generally some of the other of that generation.
Funny how those things work, right?
And I know some other users here will think that my list of the "golden age"skews too young. Just the way that cookie tends to crumble.
Granted, I did say "golden age of Nickelodeon" and not "cartoons" in general, at the risk of sounding too presumptuous :P . I loved me some Ducktales and Batman TAS, but the rest never really caught on with me. Even as a kid I just never really cared for that made-on-the-cheap animation style that shows like He-Man and Thundercats had.
