Older Cartoon Network commercial that I happened to record. Pay attention when Scrappy says "...they're the kings and queens of this network." Ha

A Complete Classic. If Scrappy saw all the newer cartoon star's of today like "Regular Show", 'Adventure Time, and Gumball the Cat, he'll really be tick off.

10 years later, Dexter replaces scrappy and does the same exact rant XD

@TherealRNO I agree with the first sentence, but not the second. Yes there are shows that do this and the number increased in the beginning of the decade. But it is an overstatement how bad things are. My Little Pony gets an award as much for being on a new channel with no past to haunt them as its writing and crisp animation. Sure it has a 90s cartoon writer, But so did Mighty Bee, times ten; the show got exactly what Spongebob lost so many years ago. But generational bais doesn't help her.

@TherealRNO I will not disaggre with Jim henson's being a genius at all. What I say is his sense of humor was and has well inspired, character driven, pun-littered, self referencial, and sometimes even purposefully cheesy humor is a ostensible comparison. which makes sense being that the muppet show was aired on disney channel after abc (both Disney), and the eventual buying of the muppet name. it implies that they liked what the muppets had and didn't want it to die with that one generation.

"And for the record, some of the jokes are enjoyable, and are akin to the backstage of the muppets show."

You're utterly blind if you can compare the great genius of Jim Henson's homage to the vaudeville style of comedy to the poorly-written Family Guy style of insulting drivel that dare passes for humor these days.

It's not mere nostalgia & you know it. It's a lull in quality, where children's shows talk down to their audience (which old Disney, anything by Jim Henson, self-aware shows like Animaniacs, etc. never did), most cartoons lack quality writing or are drawn crudely (or both)--with the only good ones being reinventions of former series (ex: the new MLP show)--live action being superficial, brain-numbing, previous generation-insulting BS done simply to whore out performers for easy cash.

@DukeTravers: Nick has the 90s Are All That, which airs their classics from 10 pm to 2 am every night on TeenNick & also uploads material to the block's website. In the same way, CN airs the Cartoon Cartoons on Boomerang & will have an entire block dedicated to DC Comics' material--complete with a new Batman series, a new Green Lantern series, & the return of the Teen Titans--come later this year on its main station. Code Lyoko is also set to have its fifth season this year, too.

@TherealRNO I am posting a second reply due to comment restrictions, if you haven't read the other (previous) reply, please do so before cont.

So it may seem like teen pop watev now, but Disney is always been that way. Disney was first from the first to do this, 70s can give a HUGE nod right now and Disney did it better than that them. And for the record, some of the jokes are enjoyable, and are akin to the backstage of the muppets show. H/S Cliques? I've seen worst in Scooby doo.

@TherealRNO Take a closer look, EVERYBODY is denying their legecy (Nick is more, in my view; ask me and I'll tell you what). But everybody is also rose-tinting their childhood shows. What I mean to say is for us to complain that all new shows are automatically pitiful attempts at comedy is like our previous generation complaining about today's "laserbeam" violence and mature reference, w/out seeing Tom attacking Jerry with a firemans axe after smokeing a thick cigar that gave him a black face.

@DukeTravers: Well, the mouse house is denying fans the treasure of its legacy, leaving the DVDs & theme parks to carry on the tradition alone, whilst the TV station backs that mindless teen-pop BS that no one will remember in a couple of years. But I too am a lover of the classics, both cartoon & live-action.

@TherealRNO I know Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. I just didn't recognize the acronym. No, I wasn't guessing your age with the parenthsis in my last reply. It was a joke. the people I have this discussion with are kids from the late 90's and '00 who bag on Disney for being utterly devoid of creativity. Although, I too grown in the 90's, I actually grew up in the 90's, the 70's, and the golden age in cartooning (Popeye, Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse). I am labeled, 'cartoon lovin' freak' by teenage peers.
