Cartoons
Cartoons just don't age well. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dangermouse, Biker Mice from Mars, Sonic the Hedghehog, Transformers, Thundercats, these shows used to rock my Saturday mornings after my overly sugary cereal fix. Watch them today though and the cracks start to show, the ideals are fuzzy, the voice acting completely ludicrous and the animation completely laughable.
Of course there are a few examples that still work somehow, like Duckula, Batman the Animated Series, tonnes of old anime shows, Johnny Bravo and most of the Cartoon Network releases, they're old as shit these days but still as watchable as they were back then.

I think it's very very important at this point to say this.
'THUNDERCATS' WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE SHIT.

You furry cunts.

Why did he choose to look like an operation Yewtree suspect when he could turn himself into a gay bodybuilder?

That would explain why he thinks making a critical judgement on 20/30 year old cartoons is a normal and adult thing to do.

How could you!
Bananaman was amazing, still is. Also Super Ted, an old episode of which I stumbled across on YouTube recently, was always great.

And Henry's Cat. I bought the box set DVD of that to show to my children one day. When I have some.
