What Happened to Good T.V?

  I've realized that one of my favorite things to rant about is how sucky T.V has become. I mean seriously, what happened? What has become of our beloved cartoons?

   I used to be one of those kids who would feel a crushing weight of disappointment if I missed even one of my Saturday morning cartoons. I bonded with my brother watching "Static Shock", "Kirby Right Back at You" and "TMNT". You know, the one from the early 2000s? Not whatever they have on Nickelodeon now. I find it extremely saddening when I talk to kids who wouldn't dream of getting up at around eight in the morning just to watch cartoons.

   Has anyone else realized that Disney stopped showing Cartoons? I know that Disney never showed just cartoons all the time, in the eighties they showed the Mickey Mouse Club (Whatever that was) and I loved watching Lizzie McGuire and That So Raven, but there were a lot more cartoons. My favorite was Kim Possible then it was Timon and Pumba then after that, maybe the Buzz on Maggie. Now there's Ant Farm and Life With Boys. I'm just glad they got rid of Good Luck Charlie. I don't really think that it was a show for little kids is all.

    On Nickelodeon I remember watching Rugrats and As Told By Ginger with my mom. I loved just being able to spend time together watching our favorite shows. Of course there was also SpongeBob, but it’s the only show that actually still comes on. So at least there's that. Now there's Rabbids and God knows what else. Quite frankly after I saw Fanboy and Chumchum I gave up.

    I would have to say that after Disney, Cartoon Network is the most disappointing. There was Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Courage the Cowardly Dog and many others. I could spend hours watching all of my favorite shows. Now whenever I get the urge to watch the Power Puff Girls or Jonny Bravo I have to go on Netflix.

   The point is dear reader, T.V sucks major donkey and with an exception of a couple cartoons here and there like Adventure Time, the Penguins of Madagascar and some other third one... it's only going to get worse. Maybe one day they'll just say screw it and just do away with cartoons all together.

    Now don't get me wrong, my more mature side loves shows like Once Upon a Time, the Vampire Diaries, Sherlock and My Strange Addiction. But like most people do, I miss what I took for granted. I miss cartoons dang it!!... So which ones do you miss?
