If You Are A False Don't Entry
I can still look back at the early 2000s shows and appreciate them, they were pretty good. I watch a show like adventure time and it's plot line is akin to having a conversation with a rambling toddler. They seem to have adopted all of the same art styles for all of their shows. Regular show is just as shitty and I imagine that steven universe is just as horrible.

I hate to say it, but I guess they have geared all of their shows towards kids. If you think that cartoons have always been meant for kids then you're ignorant. In the very early days of cartoons they weren't designed for kids. Kids are just the ones that cartoons are designed for nowadays.

Better than what Nickelodeon is now. All of their new shows are sitcoms. Not like Drake and Josh shiz, like corny Disney shit. They are literally Disney channel now.

How would you know if Steven Universe is bad, if you've never seen it?

Kids shows today are fine. Hell, many of them are a lot better. They're often more clever, and more gutsy with their content (In a political-correctness sort of way). People are just blinded by nostalgia. Everybody forgets that their generation had an equal amount of "Shitty" shows on when they were younger, they just forgot about all of them and solely focus on the high-quality ones, which then lead them to believe that all shows they watched as kids were good.

I like hugs and making the world a better place. That and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Steven Universe is actually pretty good and so is that new show We Bare Bears. Everything else is shit though.

Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Rick and Morty are great.

I haven't really sat down and watched any of them but the one that appears to be the most retarded is that Uncle Grandpa show.

You have a good point. I remember tons of bad shows as a kids. I like the new generation of cartoons. They have a good themes that you couldnt get away with 10 years ago and keep a good time line. Thats what I didn't like about early 90s to 2000s cartoons. No story.

Chowder was the beginning of Cartoon Network's downfall.

Disney Channel turned to shit around the same time as Cartoon Network.

Nickelodeon lasted a little longer but now they're taking the Disney Channel route. I'll still watch the old episodes of Spongebob when they're on.

So you're actually looking for mature and deep content in cartoons? That's your first problem. Second, some cartoons still do have some more complex plot lines and mature references.
But why even care about cartoons? Most people stop watching CN when they turn 13 unless it's adult swim.

There have been a few gems which outshine the of stuff, but for the most part it's autistic drivel.

Regular television is getting better though.

It got worse around 2010 or 2009 in my opinion, but I'm not sure due to me not watching TV anymore :L

They're trying to step up their game. I went to a panel about this at DragonCon in Atlanta... You know where Cartoon Network originated...
SPOILERSSSS
They're bringing back Adult Swim, and doing an english dub of the anime Parasyte. It premieres October 3rd at 1am EST
