- I don't really see how any one can truly put down a classic cartoon.

- Back when cartoons were simple and non-commercial, it was enjoyable to wake up
- on saturday mornings. I could watch "The Harlem Globetrotters" or "Hong Kong
- Phooey" and just laugh at the fact that they were merely cartoons. Nowadays
- they have "The Care Bears", "My Little Pony", and even "The Teenage Mutant
- Ninja Turtles", which are all commercial products. One of the main aspects
- of these cartoons is to sell more merchandise. If the cartoon can do it on
- saturday morning then the kid should be able to do it if he spends $XX.XX on
- the toy. If you want to talk about "Dumb" cartoons just mention any of the
- commercial ones and I'd have to agree, but please refrain from insulting the
- cartoons that were meant for simple purposes... being funny. :-)
