Perhaps the poor animation combined with the overwhelming PC nature of the new cartoon shows has driven discriminating children to other pastimes.

With the PC banning of the old cartoons, cartoons are no longer funny.

I remember reading when they were going to bring back Tom and Jerry, a few years ago. Instead of being enemies, Tom and Jerry were going to be "pals," and go on adventures together. I believe it died a quick death.

Also, they ruined Beetle Bailey, in the comic page, when they had him stop leering at Miss Buxley.

That is why I no longer watch Saturday Morning Cartoons.

I feel as though the lack in creative storylines, coupled with a boom in competition with up and coming new networks, finished off Saturday morning. The three major networks began to pump out the same bland genre of animation with little or no plot, character development, or story. I remember when in 1984 "Dungeons and Dragons" first started appearing Saturday mornings on CBS. I was immediately drawn to the plot and characters even at seven years old. Had the networks made more efforts to develop shows of this caliber, Saturdays may have been ruled by cartoons up to the present day.
