One of my favorite past times as a child was to sit in front of my television on Saturday morning and watch the classic cartoons of my generation; Rugrats, Tom and Jerry,Looney Tunes and The Power Puff Girls. Now I would much rather watch the daily news because the cartoons of today just seem to have lost my attention. Not only was I able to find the humor of my "classic" cartoons so clever, but almost that my parents could sit and enjoy the shows with me. But today it seems like cartoons have transformed into this annoying and silly time block on television networks losing all a good portion of it's viewers.
Cartoons from my early childhood were full of comedy and excitement, with recognizable characters and catch phrases. I remember being able to predict what each character would say or react to a situation, but still being able to always get a good laugh to their response. What ever happened during that 25 minute episode was always better and more creative than the last episode.The cartoons from back in the day continued to amuse me even with the re-run epi sodes. They all had their own unique originality that made the show more memorable than any other more modern cartoon.
Now-a-days there are barely any comical cartoons to watch and pass the time that can actually hold my attention. Most cartoons don't appeal to all audiences besides people under the age of Imaybe ten. Th plot never seems to be as well executed or planned out, so the cartoonist just fills the show with nonsense. The networks Nickolodean and Cartoonnetwork have really let the clever substance go and filled it with idiotic preservatives to make up their network's entertainment.
I can always remember getting excited when my favorite cartoon was coming on that Saturday morning or right after I got home from school. The cartoons of generations will continue to change as everything else continues to do.
Very creative title! This was an excellent choice of topic. I think that you were able to distinguish a clear change of outlook upon reflection of this topic. You were able to cite many concrete reasons for this change of heart. I would recommend inserting a few descriptive anecdotes that will help support your points about the differences between modern day cartoons and the cartoons of your generation. This change in pace keeps the reader engaged because it allows them to visualize your points more vividly. Great work, overall.
