Of course I loved cartoons when I was a kid but then I grew up. When I go over to a friends house and the adults are glued to the TV watching cartoons I am just dumbfounded. They seem to be just as mesmerized as the kids. I don't get it. Cartoons just don't hold my attention.

During the 1990s when reality programming took over live action TV and TLC and Discovery switched from traditional educational documentaries to freak shows, I found myself watching Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon: Space Ghost Coast to Coast, The Brak Show, Spongebob, Samauri Jack, Johnny Bravo, Invader Zim. I also loved Dr. Katz.

I have fond memories of watching Looney Tunes with my grandpa. He was a generally grumpy dude but loved Road Runner and Bugs.

You know.....Looney Tunes has this campy Gay undertone in some of the cartoons.... I started to wonder if Mel Blanc was Gay or something....giving him some sort of 'insight'........but no.....hetero family man... ...you have to admit that Bugs was pretty gender fluid...for 1950's

I love them. But not the modern ones, with the exception of Simpson, Family Guy and American Dad.
I mostly watch the old school Looney Tunes, Droopy, The Flintstones, Jetsons, and all the 70s mystery solving teens cartoons. Those are my faves.

Animation is just a medium. Saying you won't watch cartoons is just as stupid as saying you won't watch black & white TV shows or silent films.

Yes. Current/recent shows I love (mostly superhero shows):
Young Justice Outsiders Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir
I also need to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains on Pluto TV now that we’ve finally got the English. But I keep procrastinating. There are also a lot of other anime I’ve been meaning to get into but with the # of episodes I get overwhelmed lol. Also, I don’t have Netflix but there are some cartoons there I wanted to watch and never got around to.
I’m hoping they come out with a new X-Men animated series that includes my fave, Emma Frost!
My favorite older cartoons are Justice League Unlimited, Avatar The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, Kim Possible, Totally Spies and Yu-Gi-Oh! Also, Yuri on Ice.

I'm weird, but I prefer old school animation. I love watching the Flintstones and seeing the background repeat. It just makes me happy.

Looney Tunes will never get old. They were actually made for adults in the beginning and, yes, lots of gay subtext.

The classic Looney Tunes and early Disney films and shorts are wonderful. Carl Stalling was a genius. Daisy Duck is a hilarious portrait of the consummate hypocrite. How the Grinch Stole Christmas is just about perfect. The Pixar films are mixed, but Finding Nemo was brilliant. My Neighbor Totoro was charming as are similar films from Japan. The older Tom and Jerry cartoons and MGM shorts were also hilariously funny. Tex Avery was a lunatic.
I sort of see Scooby and the gang as culturally significant for several reasons, but I can't watch those things anymore. And the rest of that generation of animated shows always left me cold. Josie & the Pussycats? Jabber-Jaw? Top Cat? The animation wasn't good enough and neither was the writing - all you had were the characters and they were too often copycats or just plan annoying.
Rick and Morty is great. South Park and The Simpsons had their moments. The Oblongs is a weirdly likable little show, likewise Home Movies. Too much of the current stuff is too fake-zany for me.

I saw this ancient cartoon in reruns back in the 1980s. Courageous Cat and Mighty Mouse. I love the villain the Frog. Even the theme song is cool.

I watch the old school toons on MeTV+ on Toon In With Me. They show a lot of Loony Toons, Tom & Jerry, Droopy, Pink Panther and some really fun oldies. The show itself is a throwback to local cartoon shows from the 60s/70s. It’s on too early on MeTV, but they rerun it at 11 in MeTV+.

I watch the Flintstones sometimes. And King of the Hill when the mood strikes me.
Oh and how can I forget Tom and Jerry is still one of my favourites

I agree, R12. It's such an American thing to say "cartoons are for kids". We can thank Disney for that narrow mindset.
Japanese anime has produced many tv shows and films that have adult themes because it's for an adult audience. The Japanese recognize that it's just another way of telling a story.
Looney Toons, Family Guy, and South Park still make me laugh. For non-comedy, I like to revisit X-Men: The Animated Series and Dungeons & Dragons.

I will watch old Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry stuff. I hate the later, crappy looking Tom & Jerry though. I was a fan of the Simpsons up until about 10 years ago, then lost interest. The only cartoons I still like are South Park and The Venture Brothers. Japanese anime... it's too strange. Either it looks like a nightmare with giant robots, monsters and ghosts, or the characters are drawn like a five year old did it - a very simple face with big eyes and a mouth that moves like a puppet.

I bought some of the older cartoons I enjoyed on DVD for my nieces and nephews. They really liked "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop", "The Pink Panther Show" and "Johnny Quest". Obviously not a cartoon, but they didn't like "The Brady Bunch" at all, for some reason.
There are so many that I loved as a kid, like "The Groovie Ghoulies", "The Jetsons" and "Wally Gator", to name a few.
