"still watch"? i never stopped.
That's what it means to still [do something]
And it's the top comment. I'm dying 😂🤣
There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.
Depends on the show...some of them, no it's not because it's improper it's because they are super annoying to watch as an adult. I'm thinking stuff like team Umizoomi, Dougie and such.
Stuff for early teens is typically ok, like Steven universe or teen titans or adventure time. But when you go down to shows for the under 7 crowd...yeah the shows are horrible.

Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.
the best ones usually do sneak a little something in for the grown-ups "stuck" watching them.
And there are episodes that are just beautiful works of art. The S3E18 episode of Bingo playing in the rain is just heartfelt to me.
BLUEY!
I have kids, but I would absolutely watch bluey even if I didn't. I own several bluey shirts.
You know how much Blippi, Wiggles, Brain rot Minecraft/Roblox, Ryan's World I had to go through before we finally watched some Bluey?
Oh my goodness, Bluey is actually good too, it's wild.

Best part of visiting families with kids is sneaking in a bluey episode without shame!

A good show is a good show. Doesn’t matter the style or the intended demographic.
Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.
But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.
If you haven't already I would also recommend the other kids shows in the same demographic as Star.
Gravity falls, Amphibia and the Owl House

I will forever love Looney Tunes. It's a classic.
Meep meep
I still watch/watched a few as an adult and really enjoyed them.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Legend of Korra
The Dragon Prince
She-Ra (the new one)
Tron: Identity
@Vader it's all we really watch... life is real enough....
there is a sprinkling in some cheap reality tv like chopped or bar rescue... oh and some comedies... but nothing super serious.
This answer is so relatable. 😓🩵
My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.
My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol
bruh, I'm currently adding all my favourites to my NAS, then watching them in order.
Saturday mornings have been clutch now
I watched The Owl House, if that counts! I feel I don't watch enough stuff to say what I do 'in general', lol
I definitely watch some content meant for children, because much of that content works with multiple age ranges. For example, Ponyo. That shit makes me cry like a bitch. Fantastic film.
Well, you'd have to define what a kids show is and what a mature show is.
Adventure Time and Avatar were good.
I watch plenty of animated stuff but not specifically kids stuff. Movies I would, shows not so much.
Books, though? Some of the best written and most interesting books I've read as an adult were labeled as YA books.
Never mind - looking through the comments at what is called kid cartoons, yes I do watch them.
I do like Spongebob!
Yup. I also watch Power Rangers and Super Sentai.
Oh yes, both.
I love Star Wars animated series in particular.
As an adult, it's only sad dramas and dreary procedurals for me. No time for fun what with taxes, job, and housework. I'm afraid it's all very serious, adulting. I'm gonna sing the doom song.
I miss you, cupcake.
Absolutely! Did you think I take the kids to Pixar movies because THEY want to see them?
I have kids, so yes, I watch kids' cartoons. Today it was DuckTales.
Without kids, I probably wouldn't watch any tv except what my wife wants to watch. I'd always rather be playing a video game.
As an adult with kids, yea. When I was single, no.
yes. i watched 4 or 5 episodes of Earthworm Jim yesterday. i rewatch Gravity Falls once a year or so. spongebob, pinky and the brain, and many others are all in my lineup

Hell yeah I do. In fact, I prefer them to live action. You can do more, and it looks nicer. Real life is fucking ugly and full of limitations. Cartoons are not.
Yes, but: I'm a parent.
Fuck yeah. You can pry my cartoons out of my cold, dead fingers.
I just watched several episodes of He-Man from the 80s today
Sure. All the stuff the kids watched. Pixar, Dreamworks, and others. Not so much the episodic cartoons, but I’ve seen quite a few of those, too.
I've tried but they* don't hit the way they used to. And they're a bit louder than I remember.
* The Real Ghostbusters & TMNT. Both from the 80s/90s.
I still rewatch some, from time to time. The latest and hottest: The Powerpuff Girls, Darkwing Duck, Dragonball and Sailor Moon.
Some dextrous love for Dexter's Lab?
The sequel series Dexter went in a really weird direction and ruined Dexter's Lab for me.
