Old Cartoons vs. New Cartoons

As the years go on by people watch cartoons; but what cartoons do people watch? Do they turn to their favorite football head and watch Doug soar in his Quailman costume, or do they watch Phineas and Ferb battle it out with their sister Candace? Well the answer I found out while interviewing my family and friends is that most people enjoy the cartoons of the 90s and early 2000s than the cartoons of today.

 City Tech student/cousin Brian Lucien said, “90s cartoons rock all day”. Then best friend Dinesh Medard said, “I’d rather watch “The Proud Family and/or Invader Zim than Sanjay and Greg and The Amazing World of Gumball. I mean what’s that show about anyways”? Most people enjoy old school cartoons because it’s what people grew up with and the quality was better back then. Also, the humor in the old cartoons was hilarious. Florala.net states that almost 89% of civilians prefer old cartoons than new cartoons.

 To me, old school cartoons are way outstanding than cartoons of today because of the nostalgia they provide and it reveals stress. Back in 7^th grade, a Jamaican ELA teacher named Ms. Nesbitt gave me a 30 page packet to do over the spring break. That packet had 40 multiple choice questions and 5 essays to write. I was so stressed out that I needed a break. So, I went to turn on the television and saw that Cartoon Network was giving an all day marathon of “Courage the Cowardly Dog”. I was so happy to see my favorite childhood show on television again. After watching 5 episodes of “Courage”, I went right back to working on the packet Ms. Nesbitt gave me and I was stress free.

 Modern shows that we have now don’t make any sense. The humor lacks, they try too hard to be funny, the storyboard is raucous and the title is ridiculous. They’re some modern shows that are alright like “MAD”, “The Looney Tunes Show”, “Regular Show” and “Teen Titans Go” but the oldies always take the cake. Shows like “Uncle Grandpa”, “Sanjay and Greg” and “Clarence” are horrendous.  

In conclusion, cartoons from the 90s and early 2000s are EXTREMELY better than cartoons we have now. Cartoons from back in the day are what you call the Golden Age of television. I say this because television was very fun to watch back then but now a days they don’t give shows like “The Proud Family”, “Invader Zim” and “Ed Edd n Eddy” anymore so if we want to watch shows like those, we can go on our IPods and Laptops to watch them.
