scottobearIs it me, or has the Simpsons not all that funny anymore? I've been watching it a little recently... and the last three Sunday night shows have been *really* weak. Either I've grown too far from it's humor, or the humor it had just isn't there anymore. The writing seems very weak to me...
On a similar note... can we go back to one cartoon network? Or, can I get both? I like power puff girls just fine, but I Want to see some Herculoids, classic speed racer... All the cartoon network ever seems to show is its own hubbub. Has anyone come out with a 'Hong Kong action' network yet? I think it'd fit well with the 'romance' 'western' 'mystery' 'sci fi' themes... Sometimes I just want to see some guys hopping around muttering..."You killed the master, Drunken Tiger scorpion style!!" Hyah!

Favorite Cartoons
Date: 2001-02-15 10:39 am (UTC)I've seen all of the other classic cartoons like Bugs, and Daffy, Sylvester and Tweetie, etc. but The Gummi Bears was the richest artwork and story line by far.

Date: 2001-02-15 10:46 am (UTC)I did enjoy the gummies too... I think I lean to the old max fleischer superman cartoons though.. very nostalgic for me, even though they were made decades before I was born.

Date: 2001-02-15 11:07 am (UTC)"The Simpsons" used to be the epicenter of my Sunday evening. I always raced through dinner and the dishes so that I could devote 30 minutes of my undivided attention to the show.
These days, I don't even bother to watch it.....well, maybe the syndicated reruns (but I've seen 'em all so many times, I get bored with those too). Most Sundays I consciously think "Hmmm, Simpsons is on....Naaaaaah!"
I think I gave up on them because they sorta lost their edge. The humor isn't as sarcastic as it used to be...the dialogue isn't as clever. Instead, they seem to be falling back on celebrity guest voices and sappy story-lines.
It's really sad to see something great fizzle...
(Incidentally, I added you to my "Friends" list. I see you hanging 'round DarkTrain so much, you must be a good guy! Welcome.)

Thanks, Missy!
Date: 2001-02-15 11:18 am (UTC)on a happy note, welcome to my LJ! :) Always a pleasure to have someone new on board, and if you come by way of DT, then I'm sure you're good people!
Don't mind if I rummage through your journal too, I hope!
