Clip from Catscratch - An oldie but a goldie
This overlooked cartoon from the noughties has turned 21 years old now (it's now legally allowed to drink, imagine that), so I thought I would be kind enough to share one of the most brilliant moments from the show to you cheeky rascals.
Moments like this one really do show how cartoons from that time period very truly beat the shitey toy marketing-riddled eras before it.

I suspect there's a reason why I overlooked this kid's show which was on TV when I was in my 30s...

On a scale of 1 to 10,
how upset are you that I've replied to this post?

10, then.
Mods, I think someone bypassed his own ignore button by replying to my reply, which he can't see because he ignored me.

"Moments like these really do show..." No they don't, did AI write this?
Animation production values have been falling since the 50s.
I'm nostalgic for the cartoons of my youth but I wouldn't seriously argue that the era I feel nostalgia for is objectively better than the one you feel for.
The clip you showed is hardly better than any madcap scene from Loony Tunes. The humour is hardly unique to the characters, who are not particularly unique or memorable.
Warner and Disney make money on cartoon merch because there's a massive popular demand for it. Catscratch doesn't sell any toys because there isn't.
Commercial failure is not an indicator of superior quality.
