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

    Not as much, mainly because there’s an unwritten rule with watching cartoons you grew up with. That being, don’t watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid. Because not all cartoons are going to land the same as an adult than it did as a kid. So, there’s some shows I avoid myself to not have that feeling. There’s others like the old Transformers stuff I’d watch because that was a little before my time and I heard it was good, as well as the other series.

    But revisiting things like old Nick cartoons or even a lot of Saturday morning level of cartoons because, I enjoyed those more as a kid than I probably do as an adult.

      I think the best shows are the ones that are just as good as an adult. Avatar the Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, Spongebob before the first movie, Owl House, Phineas and Ferb, and plenty others. If anything, rewatching them as an adult helps you get jokes that went over your head as a kid. Some of those I only watched as an adult, and they were still good.
