I guess I must the only one who doesn't get hung up on whether a show holds to my superior adult sensibilities or is just a child's show.
it's a cartoon and I enjoy animated fare to one degree or other. but I can honestly say the stuff that i watched as a kid I still enjoy today regardless of what came after. it's like saying you can't enjoy playing the NES because you have an X-box now. *shrug*
Nah, I think it's more like that crappy LJN licensed game you liked as a kid is something you absolutely can't stand now, but Kirby's Adventure (if we're going for light kiddy stuff let's
go all the way) is still a great, fun game to play.
And I think most of us have SOME cartoons we still like as adults, and not even the ones that were meant for adults anyway like the Simpsons, but stuff like Rocko (see anyone citing THAT?) or Batman. It's mainly shit like the game licensed cartoons that are the bottom of the barrel to me, but then I never liked those as much as other cartoons even then most of the time, or disliked them in the first place. But that follows a general rule of licensed = crappy.
Also, it's fun reminiscing, even if what you loved as a child is kind of crappy as an adult. I'll always be more nostalgic for Transformers than not, even if it turns out the entire cartoon series was garbage. I'll definitely give it a spin again now that it's on Netflix streaming, or at least those last three episodes since I was a dumb toddler and
recorded over most of the climax of the final episode.
