Anyone else feel that cartoons (English, I mean) have taken a sharp decline and in fact seem to have regressed over the past few years?

Think about it. Every single year, or half year, new kiddy shows pop up and shows like Blues Clues go on strong, even actually making it into at least 4 half hour time slots. Dora the Explorer goes on for about half the morning, and nothing really good ever pops out until way after 2 o'clock when presumably all the babies are fast asleep in their cribs dreaming of finding clues in a cartoon house.

Anyone also notice how even once proud and decent cartoon shows have turned around 180 degrees and are now catering more and more to the toddler and less to the teens that helped make networks like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network popular?
I dunno about you, but I certainly classify the Spongebob of 3 years ago higher than the Spongebob of today. Yes, Spongebob was actually pretty decent compared to the moronic runs of the show that the producers have come up with these past few and horrifying seasons.

Opinions? Pl0x?
 
Yes, i agree with you, i have totally gone off cartoons coz they have become really stupid and childish, i hate it. I can't stand to watch them, and know i find myself watching Documentaries, but i guess that it is just us growing up and realising that they are stupid, i don't know. but stupidity levels of cartoons have gone up
 
No, actually, I think that if cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life or the other great cartoons of the day were still here, I'd still be watching them and maybe a lot of other people who grew up with the shows probably will be too.

Well, at least I think. And you're right, they've become too stupid, starting with the voice actors. To destroy Spongebob, I'll say that the voice animation is crappy, and it seems that the creators want to instill in the minds of young children the reality of...well...gheyness. If you've ever watched the current show, that is.
