As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? Or do you only watch mature shows?

    Yes. I watch the Spiderman cartoons from the late 60’s, Spongebob Squarepants and Rik and Morty (although I suspect that is more for adults).

    For nostalgic reasons mostly. Recently, I decided to watch C.O.P.S. again. Cool music but not as entertaining as I remembered.

    I have VLC streaming Toonami Aftermath on my second monitor at work, pretty much 24/7. It’s always fun to look over and see the weird shit that is playing. I’ve seen commercials for PS1 games, toys that don’t exist anymore, etc… And if I work late, they usually play DBZ Abridged on Wednesday evenings. That was a particularly funny discovery, because my coworker saw DBZ on my monitor, and mentioned that they never got into it. I turned the volume up just in time for us to hear Vegeta complain about getting hit in the dick.

    As an adult, it’s only sad dramas and dreary procedurals for me. No time for fun what with taxes, job, and housework. I’m afraid it’s all very serious, adulting. I’m gonna sing the doom song.

    There is a terrible misconception that there must be a point at which you stop enjoying things because it is improper, but at a certain point fuck the haters and enjoy the ride because none of us get out alive.

      I have kids, but I would absolutely watch bluey even if I didn’t. I own several bluey shirts.

        You know how much Blippi, Wiggles, Brain rot Minecraft/Roblox, Ryan’s World I had to go through before we finally watched some Bluey?

        Oh my goodness, Bluey is actually good too, it’s wild.

    Sure. All the stuff the kids watched. Pixar, Dreamworks, and others. Not so much the episodic cartoons, but I’ve seen quite a few of those, too.

    Not sure. I often hear Bluey and Phineas & Ferb referred to as kids cartoons, but I find the humor surprisingly mature.

      the best ones usually do sneak a little something in for the grown-ups “stuck” watching them.

    My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.

    My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol
