“ST:Discovery”
It’s much easier to just call it by the abbreviation: STD.
There were some groups in the 80s (not sure if it was Tipper Gore’s PTC or something similar) that got regulations passed with the FCC that kids shows had to have some “educational” content in order to get played during certain time slots, like Saturday mornings.
That’s why you saw some moral or lesson get tacked on to every episode of those shows, because otherwise they couldn’t claim they were following the regulations.
Both of those were good cartoons.
Johnny Quest had a respectable body count.
POINT!
Has there ever lived a “critic” with an other-than-liberal mindset?
You are exactly right. A certain % of content had to have some sort of moral message. As terrible as it made those shows (lets all work together for great fun! or whatever) part of it was a reaction to the majority of the new cartoons being simply brain washing vehicles to sell massive toy lines to kids.

Yeah, good point, all those old shows were into the destruction and mayehm. The Herculoids were just a sci-fi pioneering family with sci-fi monsters killing each other basically.

Planet Of The Apes the cartoon tried to be serious and was watchable.
Never got to watch PotA or the old Star Trek cartoon, which supposedly had an episode based on Larry Niven sci-fi stories! I’ll look ‘em up on line someday, ha.

And then there were the CLASSICS from Warner Brothers Looney Tunes etc. Bugs, Daffy, Road Runner and all, capable of entertaining the kids with the action while the dialog kept the interest of the adults. From 1930 to their demise in 1969, we can pull out the DVDs and laugh like kids again.
I'd love to teach a high school physics class using the impossibilities of Wile E Coyote's eternal purchases from Acme (where oh where was Consumers Reports?) Then there was the utterly superlative and sublime Bugs & Elmer Opera Classics; "What's Opera, Doc?" & "The Rabbit of Seville"! Comparison of these to 99.9 ...% of what came after is depressing!
That’s because movie critics are nothing more than political thought police panning any movie that does not parrot the politically correct party line across all liberal issues. A film tha reveals even slightly the airhead nature of leftism in any of its cultural revetments will be rejected by critics conjuring up some lame aesthetic shortcoming or other.
The old ST cartoon was ok for its time.
Wheel of Morality turn, turn, turn; show us the lesson that we must learn!
The old Star Trek cartoons wee pretty neat.
Very complex for their day, and with moral/philosophical lessons.
But I think the Brady Kids cartoons was way neater. They had pandas named Yin and Yang! How rayciss is that?
He sued them, though! Coyote v. Acme
Two words ...... Speed Racer.
Too limited as being only Mr Coyote's complaint. Where is the counter? Where is the discovery? Actually, my personal belief in that Acme is a wholly owned subsidiary of Road Runner, Inc. and the court decision would be that the devices fulfilled their manufacturers ultimate intention of protecting the 'victim'!
Star Blazers for me.
