[QUOTE="Scott, post: 44491, member: 148"] I grew up after the Saturday morning cartoons ritual era of the 70s on so I tuned in to them on satellite where they had "classics", running the old schedule. There were the Superfriends and the Legion of Doom, Josey and the Pussycats, Scooby Doo (like a little taste of Halloween every weekend) and many others. Then during the week after school it was Hanna Barbera everything (those two guys must have been working 24/7, as they were behind everything) Flintstones, Magilla Gorilla, etc.. all that shit. So it's not an age thing when I truly viewed the more modern stuff as shit compared to the good old-school stuff before we had a million channels of cable/sat to choose from. I guess in the previous Saturday Morning cartoon era with only about, what.. 7 channels to choose from, that raised the bar as to quality, hence Scooby Dooby Doo and all the rest. I agree on MTV too, and the same seems to go for all channels where they abandon their original mission. It seems inevitable that when something isn't broken, some hyper creative asshole in charge of programming will break it with new ideas and fuck up the whole thing. TLC, Discovery and National Geographic used to play documentaries, but no... they all got dumbed down and started churning out fake reality bullshit to appeal to the 15 minute attention span of the modern idiot generation that'll turn the dial if the tempo slows down for a moment.
