I still watch the Gummi Bears' adventures and Disney movies all the time. TMNT was on TV the other day, and that was exciting; I wish I owned it on VHS, at least! I'd still watch the old TMNT series and the different Mario series, if I was able to!

Another is Beast Wars,(Which I'm currently downloading at a painstakingly slow rate.)
Rat Trap is singly my favorite Transformer ever.
I spend a lot of time looking up video games, movies and TV shows from my youth that I usually can barely remember the names of. I wonder sometimes if I'm becoming a manchild.
I have some TMNT on VHS!Quote:

It annoys me how every kids show from way back is now churned out crap. For instance, early 90's TMNT was engaging when I was small and still is now. When I look at the new stuff i'm thinking that the guy's who make the new ones over elaborate on any weakness or strenght because they think thats how to make the show better, when really its that that makes it the same as every other kids stuff out there. The shows in the old days had personality, the new ones don't IMO.
Anyway, rant over. I'd still watch TMNT if its on, other than that nothing much really. :spin:

What they should do is like many/most anime do: tell the story and then finish. Leave the viewer wanting more, rather than driving them to the point where they just want it to end, to leave a positive lasting impression. And it just spoils it when you become a loving fan of something like that and yet it eventually you have to stop watching because it's the same rubbish over and over and you can't stand it any more. You care about the characters but have to let them go without seeing any kind of ending etc.
Sure, if the cartoons had an end to them, then the brand name fades away and they won't sell the same merchandise for centuries to come, but then it paves the pay for new material and gives the producers a reputation of producing high quality stories that stick in your mind forever.
Star Trek and Pokemon are both examples of things that got dragged out to the extreme of milking the brand. I fear that our favourite Square Enix 'brand' is starting to get that way (FFVII comes to mind)
EVERY DAY IS A GOOD OLD DAY
I still watch all kinds of cartoons. Some of them I enjoy more now than I used to, actually :) I'm a big kid, and proud of it.
We already did this in the football thread a couple of weeks ago.
a few months ago i watched the first 50 episodes of digimon over a weeks time. also i enjoy the old pokemon sometimes including the 1st movie which me and my friend watched like a month ago.
i still love playing SNES and NES.
also every so often i bust out the legos and work on my ffVII airship that got destroyed years ago.
