I never watched it once the Indigo thing started. So I probably missed their bastardizations

I did enjoy the show, as corny as it was. And I wouldn't be ashamed to still watch it. But that's part of who I am. I thrive on nostalgia sometimes

I'm 26 too. And I'm one of the advocates that "They just don't make shows like they used to". The 80s was seriously the best time for cartoons. There are no kids shows that can compete with Voltron or TMNT and the like

And considering that its always the older the better. Old Pokemon > New Pokemon. Old Power Rangers > New Power Rangers. There's always been a slow delcine in quality of shows. Even newer shows fall down this path. I don't know what the execs and producers eventually get up their ass but they need to pull it out asap
