- Yes. We should not assume that "cartoon" = "comedy" or
- "cartoon" = "bad". Batman: The Animated Series is most definitely not
- a comedy. There is not much humor in it, just well-done detective
- stories with action. It is very dark. I think that it is one of the
- best television shows on today.
-
- Also, it is meant for adults, because it is on in prime time.
