Ok, so all day today Cartoon Network has been running an Ed, Edd and Eddy marathon in preparation for the movie that will premier tomorrow. This show had me thinking again about how adult the shows we as Generation Y grew up on.
1. Ed, Edd and Eddy
2. Rocko's Modern Life
3. Ren & Stimpy
4. Angry Beaver's (not as visible)
5. CatDog
6. Kablaam!
7. Aaah! real Monsters
8. Captain Planet
These shows are just riddled with implied sexual content, implied profanity scamming, theft, bribery and other adult situations. Its amazing that our mental health is still generally good. Though I think we are the most fucked up generation but in a good way. But now parents these days think Harry Potter is gonna doom thier kid's souls. Yeah right. Let them watch cartoons from the 90's it will be a good learning experience for them.
These shows are what we grew up on and they made us the fun generation we are today. With our higher than expected tolerance of things that are new and different, our constant internet-ing and that third thing we are always doing.
For those of you that are wondering how Captain Planet had adult situations, it basically wanted us to be hippies. Now there is nothing wrong with that but that Wheeler kid was violent. Gaia was kind of a whore and Kwame was a bit too stereotypical.
These shows were so golden. I wish they would come back for like 10 years again. Most of these new shows suck. I mean, what the hell is a Scary Godmother. They also messed up Casper like nobody's business.
Now, I am gonna go do other stuff. That Carmen Sandiego charcter has been unfindable for like 20 years now or something. Her son Waldo is a joke. Anyway, I have to go find Carmen after my triple bypass surgery.
