Kids' cartoons
GI Joe, Transformers, Muppet Babies, He-Man, Inspector Gadget, Danger Mouse, TMNT, Scooby-Doo
I legitimately cannot stand to have modern kids' cartoons on the TV. They do not function at all as entertainment as far as I can tell, just flash and color and chaos, and it's like the nature of the flash and color is as annoying and hyperstimulating as you could possibly imagine. It's as if someone had deliberately set out to on purpose make the kids as discombobulated and craving stimulation as possible, so they'd have as strong as possible a susceptibility to the advertising that comes alongside the shows.
Hey wait a minute
(Edit: Oh I completely missed that this was a UK thing. Well there you go, as far as my US childhood.)
Apart from GI Joe we had all the same stuff here.
...but, I hate to break it to you...
Twenty years ago was 2004. Those were all 80s and 90s shows.
1990 was 10 years ago and you can't tell me otherwise!
TMNT was definitely still around in the early 2000s, although I don’t know how that version compares to earlier ones.
And the GI Joe movies count… right? :p
Gummy Bears is available to stream on Disney+!
