Last 'new' cartoon I really enjoyed was "The Tick".

Though Animaniacs was okay - Pinky and the Brain carried it.

"Batman - The Animated Series" was pretty good but fell off with Batman and Robin.

I buy old GI Joe cartoons for my boys to watch and have the entire Tick series on VCD. My brother has most of "Batman - The Animated Series" on VHS.

I've been pretty pleased with 'Justice League' on Cartoon Network; I like 'Samurai Jack' on there as well. Of course, 'The Simpsons' and 'South Park' rule...

You know, I'm not sure if its just the decline of Saturday Morning, but of cartoons in general.

When Transformers and Superfriends were on, they were pretty innocent, but now even the shows OBVIOUSLY aimed at 8 and 9 year olds are full of sarcastic jokes, cynical remarks and quasi-adult modes of humor. Watch Nickelodeon for a few minutes and you'll see what I mean.

Of course, Ghostbusters was SUPPOSED to have that quality, and it was one of the great animated series. It's just gone too far, Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, etc. I like to laugh but what happened to good ol' good vs. evil.

Power Rangers signalled the end of quality morality plays for children(males especially.) Where are this generation's Optimus Primes? I'll tell you, they can only find them on the big screen with a Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.

Too much Saved by the Bell, Guys Next Door garbage and not enough Wheeled Warriors, Visionaries and Thundercats.
