Translation: Anyone else trying to cope being 30+?

Every one of these shows were better and gave more of a fuck than any show made nowadays, let alone the stuff aimed at kids.

Counter point, you are no longer the target demographic for kids shows so modern shows naturally will not appeal.

Coco Mellon and paw patrol are glorified babysitters and absolutely are brain rot for children.

Cat-Dog, Ren and Stimpy and Jonny Bravo alone prove that kids shows don’t need to be slop and can hold up for audiences of all ages.

Those are aimed at very different age demographics.

Also, Sarah & Duck.

How different are kids today? I'm never around them so have no clue

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It’s not that kids are fundamentally different, it’s that we are no longer kids.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

100% agree. What was your favourite?

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Very difficult question. Cat-Dog, Dexters Laboratory, Ahh Real Monsters and Rockos Modern world are all classics. But honestly so are the rest 😝

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 month ago

They really are! I loved Johnny bravo and Doug

Too much yelling and screaming in some of these.

I’m glad modern stuff seems to yell and scream less.

Also has no thought process and is mind numbing

Watched these via NTL in the late 90s. Some of these were also shown when there used to be kids TV before and after school. Good times.

Also - Ed, Edd n Eddy.

[–] lokiprime@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Man, I loved most of these. Good times.
