    not sure... it seems like the only good ones that have come out recently are for adults... as far as kid shows, it doesn't look good:(

        By 2011, cartoons for kids will become awesome again. So says Negrodamus.

          I really hope so, but I'll be 20 at the time:( Plus I doubt it. But I really hope you're right.

            Hey, I'll be 20 also, but lots of Retrojunkers in their 20's today still watch cartoons. It takes about a decade for cartoons to get better and the declline was around 2001.

                this is one of the many reasons i'm gonna work in animation
                when i'm older. Because I have alot of good ideas in my skull.

                  There will be no next decade 0_0. Ask the Mayans.

                  Seriously though...
                  I dunno. This decade hasn't given us many memorable cartoons. Maybe it'll get better next decade, maybe not. Only time will tell.

                      I want cartoons like animaniacs, the tick, rocko's mdern life, and freakazoid...things that really did me no good mentally....what's wrong with pure entertainment for our children?

                        I don't really mind educational kids shows. As long as they...oh, i dunno....TEACH SOMETHING!

                        Cartoon Network has shows EXACTLY like those!
                        Except that they all suck. :-/

                          key word is "entertainment" there....it's either educational or midless dribble that is crap/ You think with all the technical advances we've made since 1997 that we could have some pretty awesome cartoons but instead ppl decided that cartoons also had to get all politically correct, punchin cheap jokes, and they all prcatically have the same story line. I thing the main area that has caused cartoons to go down hill is the scripts. There's no good writing in cartoons anymore. They've dumbed all the "entertainment shows" down and educationalized all the early childhood shows up

                            There lies the problem. Cartoon Makers just put in all the technical advances they can to distract kids from noticing the lack of entertainment. They just put in a bunch of CGI and have a whole lotta crap go on and call it a show (i.e. every Jetix show)
                            And the politcal correctness has skyrocketed and isn't going away anytime soon.

                            So to now answer my own question before...I do NOT think cartoons will get any better anytime soon. We'll just have to avoid TV and refuge here.

                              I think there will always be a few really good cartoons. I don't know if there will be another animation explosion like the 80's and 90's. I wish scripts for cartoons were better. I miss the writing in Gargoyles. Each episode could stand alone or was somehow linked to a bigger story.

                                LOL, I'm 20 now, and I still watch cartoons (certain ones). You're never really too old to watch cartoons.

                                      I personally stopped checking for new cartoons when I turned 13 or 14. So I really don't know since I haven't checked for a new cartoon in a good while. I just stick to the older ones (the 80s and before)

                                      But these type of topics have been beaten to the ground already, geez.

                                        the kind of stuff that comes out in a decade may not even fit in the word *cartoon*
