I loved courage, it was great. Good example of how kids actually like horror shows.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I got a bit nostalgic for some old Cartoon Network cartoons recently, such as The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I also like the miss the old Simpsons.

I wish there were more cartoons like the Animals of Farthing Wood or Avatar. TV shows that could be both entertaining for kids, but tell interesting and unique stories.

Whenever people mention old cartoons, I tend to think about shows such as Scooby Doo, the Flintstones, Tom & Jerry and the classic Looney Tunes.

Those are also great, even if I got bored of Scooby Doo.

I remember watching shows like The Powerpuff Girls, Courage, Dexter's Lab, and Camp Lazlo. Now we got shitty shows on Cartoon Network. Sure, Steven Universe is pretty good, as well as Adventure Time and The Amazing World of Gumball, but everything else sucks. And when they ended Regular Show, that's when I knew my love for the show died.

I stopped watching cartoons years ago.

One of the biggest problems animations face is the fact that nobody working on it treats it like the film medium it is, and instead just uses it as a means to either lure children, get away with an agenda, both, or tell some lame story that ends up being pretentious because of how unrealistic it gets, yet still wants to be taken seriously.

Regular Show wasn't canceled, the creators got tired of working on it and decided to end it.

And good for them, the show was getting progressively worse anyway.

I know that, I said end it. But they won't even do re-runs!

Over the Garden Wall is the best new Cartoon Network show and I also thought Long Live the Royals also seemed alright. They both happen to be miniseries which are now over though. Maybe CN should focus on miniseries more instead of Uncle Grandpa or whatever.

I honestly didn't like either of those, but I have heard of them.

I kind of miss the original Tom & Jerry.

Even though they were technically before my time, I still grew up on reruns of them.
