How come there are 32 year olds who watched stuff like Camp Lazlo and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, yet never watched Adventure Time, Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball? I've even seen some who never watched Chowder or Flapjack or only watched a few episodes of them and yet watched Lazlo and Gym Partner and Puffy more. Why?
>>152342398It's a sliding scale of age for getting into things, they could have moved on or been too busy with life by then. Location also plays a part in it, as some countries didn't get those shows or had plans that dropped the channel. I know a coworker of mine grew up watching PPGZ on Cartoon Network and was amazed that it didn't air here.
>>152342499Wasn't Chowder in the same era as Camp Lazlo and My Gym Partner's a Monkey in terms of new episodes?Look at this promohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ELgsXVcCEtM&pp=ygUebmV3IHRodXJzZGF5IG5pZ2h0cyBhcHJpbCAyMDA4Lazlo and Chowder were clearly in that same era. Foster's too, yet there are people who are 32-33 and were born in 1993 who watched Foster's, but hardly watched Chowder, if it all.
>>152342547There were a couple years where Chowder didn't exist. It was a very rough time watching CN and I imagine some left over the quality. Eras are simply generalizations to help compartmentalize periods of time, but it's not like the shows came out at the exact same time or anything. Chowder was 2007, Flapjack was 2008. The rest came before that. I don't think the 32 year old thing matters much either since people who were older or younger could've dropped it around that same time, too. This again ignores other countries having different shows on
The Chowder/Flapjack era was kind of a dark age for Cartoon Network, I'm sure a lot of people gave up on the channel completely then.
>>152343933Wasn't Foster's Home also part of that era too though? That show didn't end until 2009.
>>152344280I definitely don't remember it that way. Looking it up, Foster's season 6 had a weird release schedule and all of the new episodes in 2009 were dumped on the same day.
>>152343933I feel like it was moreso the time right before it. Chowder and Flapjack were great and a couple years later, we would get Adventure Time, so it wasn't so bad. At least people still had Ben 10
>>152342547I fucking hated george of the jungle
>>152344380You couldn't go a single commercial break without seeing a promo for the Foster's marathon leading up to the final 5 episodes. They promoted it every commercial break the week before it premiered according to old Toonzone posts. Also, there was Destination Imagination that premiered months after Flapjack came out. Foster's absolutely was part of the Chowder/Flapjack era.
>>152342398Some people just ignored the early 10s and became too stuck on nostalgia that they made themselves believe that good cartoons only came from their generation and everything beyond their childhood is worthless.
>>152342398I'm 30 and I stopped watching TV religiously around the 2010s when those shows aired. I got my own laptop and spent more time online.
>>152342398Would you say Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Gumball were more aimed at girls than Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi? Those three shows had more romance in them, while Puffy despite having female protagonists didn't have much female stuff in it. It didn't do romance really.
>>152342398>How come there are 32 year olds who watched stuff like Camp Lazlo and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, yet never watched Adventure Time, Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball?A 32 year old would have been 17-18 when Adventure Time, Regular Show and Gumball came out
>>152346539Does this mean that there were no adults at all who watched Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Gumball? And no, parents do not count.
>>152346737There probably were, but late teens are peak "I'm too old for cartoons" ages.Until you realize adulthood is a scam and just do whatever you want.
>>152342398These things just happen sometimes idk
>>152342398Many people stop watching cartoons at like age 12 (or even before) as they start to feel them as "childish". As a 29 years old, I had classmates who switched to live actions while being very young, so they didn't even watch cartoons like Total Drama Island or Chowder.
>>152348613I was born in 1988 and I didn't watch any of the 2000s cartoons because they were childish to me and anime was having an incredible push thanks to the internetThen I started watching cartoons again when certain horse show appeared.
>>152344630same here
>>152343933I feel this was when Cartoon Network was trying to be Li'l Adult Swim.
