And yet that generation grew up to be completely respectful, normal, unbiased members of society. It's today's cartoons that are the problem, all the potential creativity completely caved in by regulations on what *might* be inappropriate for kids to see.
Yep. I don't know about the US, but I think Looney Tunes is completely banned from Kids TV programs in the UK now - because it's too violent and often has references which are "too dangerous" for today's standards (eg. generic advert boards saying "SMOKE", people smoking, the "Sucker" and "Jackass" jokes they occasionally used, violence etc)
But I used to love those 5 minute slots where they put in Looney Tunes. They showed semi-modern shows, but still shown these things, such as Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry etc. They didn't show any Disney on CBBC (children's BBC), probably because of the cost. They occasionally shown them on ITV though (another non-digital channel that was available).
That was the other thing which used to annoy me a little - We never got digital TV until they announced that you needed to get it. No cable, no satellite. But, doesn't bother me that much.
I loved watching these when I was a kid and then they ruined television for me when they decided to turn our children into pacifists who can't do anything fun because their feeling might get hurt or someone could get a scuffed up knee.
