I think if is a shame that Looney Tunes are not aired anywhere on television. They were back on Cartoon Network for a few weeks but then they were taken out. Many people had to have missed that they were back. It is a shame that these classic cartoons are not aired on television. There is an entire generation of children who are missing out on Looney Tunes due to them not being aired on television. So how about you? Do you think that there are any cartoons that it's a shame that are not on television and thus children these days are missing out on them? Looking forward to reading your responses.

There was a whole list of cartons that I got up on Saturday morning to watch as a kid. Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Smurfs,Strawberry Shortcake, Scooby Doo, just to name a few. Kids today miss out on so many of the great classics that they have taken off the air. I think it would be great for kids today to have these shows and not so many of the violent things they watch.

That is true, there are so many great cartons that aired. In fact, getting up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons is pretty much a thing of the past. Saturday morning cartoons is a thing of the past as with many of the classics. The only cartoon these days that I think will be named up there with the classics that aired in recent years would be Spongebob. Others would be lost in history, like I am sure so many others. I don't even think there is any Scooby Doo on Cartoon Network anymore and very little Tom and Jerry. Which is such a shame. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and contributed to this topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Aww. I loved Inspector Gadget. Had almost forgotten about how funny the carton was. Especailly after the movie came out. Didn't care much for the movie, the carton was much better.

Inspector Gadget ruled. Plus it did have one of the catchiest theme songs for cartoon. You could get that thing stuck in your head for days on end. I remember like when I was in the first or second grade, it was on right when I got home from school, so it was the first thing that was on right when I got out of the door. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Other than cartoons such as Batman The Animated Series which only had a few seasons and Justice League, I think every other cartoon on today is crap, I think Spongebob is crap too, it's like they are dumbing down our kids, I mean the new batman cartoon "The Batman" that is a complete joke, but if your really stressed that Looney Tunes aren't on anymore people can always buy them on dvd somewhere I'm guessing...but I do long for the cartoons of the 1980's and early 1990's, I miss Jem, and Teen Wolf, and the Gummy Bears, and lots of other ones.

I believe a fair bit of Looney Tunes are on DVD but it would be nicer if they were on television. Still, these days, cartoons that are going to be remembered, whether it be for good or otherwise are really a dime a dozen. I mean, can you really see much today being remembered fondly or otherwise? I am sure there is some decent moments but there is just a lot of the cut by the numbers. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, some pretty good cartoons. If only half of the cartoons were half of the quality these days. Perhaps it is because I am outside the target audience these days but still when I do see the old stuff, it holds up. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well.

Yes, I think we always look more fondly of our childhoods but still the point stands. It is a shame that so many children will not get to watch this animation classics. Unless they get the DVDs, but that can be a costly process to acquire those and many cartoons are taking forever to get everything. I'm still waiting for the last season of Darkwing Duck to come out on DVD, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic as well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I vaguely remember that one as well. Can't recall how much I liked it, but I remember watching it. Then again, there were a lot of cartoons that were on during that era that I watched and I am sure I forgot about at least half of them. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
