    Shows That Are Seen In A Better Light Nowadays

    While fans now regard Spongebob season 3 as the best season due to the number of classic episodes it spawned like The Idiot Box and The Camping Episode, back when it was airing, it was widely considered a downgrade from the first two seasons. The half-hour specials were particularly hated like...

    Things in animation that haven't aged well

    I know this is a little off-topic, but what aged badly about Quantum Leap? All I know about the show is that it was a sci-fi cult classic.

    I didn't get to post any updates about the comic here because the forums were down, but The Shapes #3 is available to purchase on my site and The Shapes #4 is accepting ad slot submissions:

    Is Nickelodeon deliberately getting new cartoons killed?

    Nickelodeon has even less of a reason to care about new cartoons now because most of them premiere on Paramount+, but it would be too costly for them to deliberately greenlight shows for the sake of canceling them. It's just poor corporate management more than anything.

    To My Surprise, Speedy Gonzales Is In The Rotation On The Bugs Bunny And Friends Show on MeTV.

    According to the CN Schedule Archive wiki, "Betwitched Bunny" was indeed the last Looney Tunes short to air in 2004, so you're not misremembering anything: https://cnas.fandom.com/wiki/October_3,_2004

    "Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm" Talkback (Spoilers) [11/8]

    I saw the movie premiere during New York Comic Con where there was also a panel with the show creators and cast preceding the feature. They mentioned they were planning on activating that phone number but ultimately decided against it, so viewers wouldn't use that as an opportunity to record the...

    Things in animation that haven't aged well

    That's one reason I don't find ageist jokes all that funny. Even though I'm still young, I know someday if I live long enough, I'll be the punchline and that thought terrifies me.

    Cartoon Network's (Upcoming) 30th Anniversary

    Happy 30th anniversary Cartoon Network! I tuned in to the livestream about 4 hours ago since I was too busy of school assignments earlier, and I'm surprised it's still going since I assumed it would only be a day-long thing. Glad to see CN care for its older viewers!

    Who else here is enjoying CN's 30th-anniversary live stream? I can say I'm glad they're showing a balanced mix of classic and newer favorites along with some of the old promos.

    Did you consider the 2004 rebrand the downfall of CN?

    Even if you looked at some of the older posts from the early 2000s when the Powerhouse era was still in swing, you'd find posts lamenting that Cartoon Network aired too many Cartoon Cartoons and anime and not enough classics as they did in the beginning. So I can safely say adult viewers at the...

    So how do you read comics?

    I'll usually wait for the trade paperback to come out but sometimes I'll buy single issues though most of the ones I've been collecting are anthologies and older alt/underground comics.

    @Zanneck Looniversity will be an HBO Max Original so I wouldn't be so sure about that. After all, quite a few Looney Tunes projects just got slashed.

    As terrible as 2020 was for the world in general, it was also a great year for animation, particularly streaming with shows like The Owl House, Close Enough, The Midnight Gospel, Helluva Boss, Solar Opposites, Looney Tunes Cartoons, etc. I could say the same for 2021 too so to see everything go...

    Sad thinking the last season will become another piece of unreleased lost media. I'm just hoping another Bee and Puppycat situation occurs where the entire last season is leaked just to flip off the executives.

    Cartoon Network shows pulled from HBO Max

    And here I was naively thinking The Boondocks reboot cancellation would be the only bad thing to come out of WarnerMedia this year. I got HBO Max only a few months ago but won't have time to enjoy it to its fullest until the end of week at least due to life stuff so I just feel like I've been...

    Things in animation that haven't aged well

    Billy and Mandy creator Maxwell Atoms actually named the Sperg character after a friend of his with a similar name so the slur reference was unintentional.

    The Shapes (webtoon/comic strip)

    I very much appreciate that present and your feedback. I was actually worried that the Kidz Suckz storyline leaned too heavily on the sentimental side in comparison to my other Shapes comics, so it brings me great comfort to hear you loved it. :)

    Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation)

    Is there any particular reason why though? Does it have anything to do with cuteness appeal similar to characters like Snoopy or Spongebob?

    It's Sam here, and I have been drawing comic strips since I was 12, but didn't start reworking my series The Shapes until the beginning of 2021. I was heavily influenced by various cartoons I grew up watching and especially comic strips such as Pearls Before Swine, Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes...

    Times you've seen cartoons playing on public TVs

    The doctor's office I regularly go to used to always have the television on Cartoon Network in the waiting room during the late 2000s before phasing out of cable by around 2010/2011 in favor of a monitor showing a loop of generic health-related slides and videos.

    Cartoons You Wish You Paid More Attention to as a Kid

Though I still followed the show for most of its run, I missed out on it during its height of popularity. Phineas and Ferb: I had been regularly watching it since its beginning, but...

    Why Can't Children's Animation Be More Explicit About LGBT?

    Western children's animation seems to now be in some transitional stage regarding LGBTQ+ representation where it's been more acceptable to show in comparison to even as recently as a decade ago but still feel restrained from explicitly mentioning it as they gradually dip their toes deeper into...
