Oh really? Because all I see is overrated tripe that panders to a specific group of people instead of all audiences like a good cartoon should.

>like a good cartoon should
Can you tell me where it is written the rules that say that a cartoon should appeal to everyone and every public always? Who wrotte it?
>>83743999
No one wrote it. It's an unwritten rule of animation. Appealing to a certain demographic just because it's huge doesn't work to a show's advantage because it increases the odds of it becoming very dated

Where the hell are you taking it from? This is kit how entertainment works.
what show is the rock from
I like two of those showsone of them more than I shouldand I still think you're dead wrong. Animation as art(at least on TV) is dying, what you see are simply its death throes, a dying medium's last stand.
>>83743869
You may think so now but just wait ten years and see if these shows still hold up.

>Barely any action cartoons.
>Flash-animation, dull CGI, and Calarts everywhere.
>Mediocre by-the-numbers CGI flicks everywhere.
>Zombie Simpsons and Zombie Spongebob still airing and showing no signs of stopping.
Sorry, give it at least 20-30 more years for a new "renaissance".
I dunno, putting plot ahead of you sales seems to be an effective means of making a program with long-term viability. Ditto for having a legitimate"ending" for a show. I'm quite happy with OtGW as a mini-series, and GF was overall much better than I had expected. I can admire SU for it's dedication to plot advancement and continuity, and it's gradual world building. Even if you think of any or all of these shows as "tumblr, the cartoon", you can't deny that they were heralds of a significant step up from "buy our toys, the show"

>You sales
"Toy sales", I can't even spellcheck.
