As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? Or do you only watch mature shows?

    I want children’s television shows sometimes because when I was a kid I was basically deprived of this joy. We didn’t have cable until I was basically already a teenager and even then my dad had this obnoxious habit of shaming me for it if I ever dared to watch the cable weed were literally paying for.

    There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.

      Depends on the show…some of them, no it’s not because it’s improper it’s because they are super annoying to watch as an adult. I’m thinking stuff like team Umizoomi, Dougie and such.

      Stuff for early teens is typically ok, like Steven universe or teen titans or adventure time. But when you go down to shows for the under 7 crowd…yeah the shows are horrible.

        And if someone still enjoys those “horrible” shows at 87, it’s okay for them to watch them. That’s the point.

    Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.

      the best ones usually do sneak a little something in for the grown-ups “stuck” watching them.

        And there are episodes that are just beautiful works of art. The S3E18 episode of Bingo playing in the rain is just heartfelt to me.

    Excluding anime (which I watch regularly) the newest cartoon I watched was Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking to get back into cartoons.

    But the best cartoon I’ve ever watched was avatar the last airbender. Not many rise to that level of quality so its unfair to set the bar there.

      If you haven’t already I would also recommend the other kids shows in the same demographic as Star.

      Gravity falls, Amphibia and the Owl House

        I’ve seen some gravity falls, really liked the characters.

        Haven’t watched the other two, how are they?

          Both great stories told in cartoon form.

          Owl house is my favourite of them, but Amphibia has a really good arc with great humour as well

      I’ve been wanting to rewatch Star vs. The Forces of Evil. I love that show. What do you think of it so far?

    My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.

    My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol

    @Vader it’s all we really watch… life is real enough…

    there is a sprinkling in some cheap reality tv like chopped or bar rescue… oh and some comedies… but nothing super serious.

      I rewatch adventure time all the time. Also the future episodes are good but too short. I also watch Fionna and Cake but that is basically made for the fans of the og show not really kids.
