it's kind of weird how much of a cultural shift there has been from like the mid 1990s until now due to cable and the internet/streaming vs you probably watched the same cartoons that your parents watched
Yeah but cultural osmosis smooths it out for the most part
>>150270535It's fucking bullshit. More channels than ever before, but not ONE to play the cartoons that are pop culture staples seen by entire generations of kids? Why couldn't WB/CW stations play, say, half an hour of Looney Tunes and half an hour of (good) HB cartoons/Popeye/etc. while other stations were playing the evening news? I swear it's all a divide-and-conquer conspiracy.
>>150270909Isn't there like MeTvTroons or something?
>>150270535Desu I don't really miss cable at all
>>150270535Children are watching the same shows that their parents watched
>>150270909It is divide and conquer and dumbifying since 2008. They want everyone to not know who Fred Flinstone is.>>150272122Zoomers watch Youtube. Gen-alphas watch TikTok.
>>150270535When I was a kid there were always good Looney Tunes on TV. Never liked Hannah Barbera that much and if you watch them enough you realize how lazy and recycled it all is. In the 70s people just accepted that cartoons were supposed to be trash.
>>150272614TikTok is better than YouTube just for not disabling comments on cartoons for no reason
>>150270535I mean the same thing applies to basically all media OP, ask someone who grew up in the 90s if they also heard stuff like The Beatles or Pink Floyd or watched movies like Rocky or The Great Escape and you'll get an almost universal "yes". The internet's really atomized society in ways that I don't think most people even consciously realize anymore.
>>150270535i know what you mean in Canada until Teletoon Retro shuttered, we had the old Looney Tunes shorts on practically every day.
>>150271423Yeah, I guess it's my fault for not watching MeTV toons in 2006. Oh wait.
