are you like 10 or what
I've been thinking. Do we only think the newer shows suck because we grew up with the older shows? Did we only like the shows we liked because we were young? Did older people think the same thing we think? Or have cultural changes and/or progressively worsening writers' material made the shows generally worse?
I feel like the newer shows are a lot less inspired than the likes of older Spongebobs and other shows like it. Sometimes I'll see a clip of a joke from an old episode and I'll still think it was funny, or I'll see an old episode and think it was legitimately interesting. Maybe I'm just old and bitter (although I like to think I'm not) but what I've seen of the newer shows, and even newer episodes of previously good shows to seem have a lot less depth. It's gag after gag after gag and that's usually it.
What I think the issue is that the long running shows are out of ideas. An old spongebob episodes might have been about what happened when an underwater creature experienced dry land, and a new one might be spongebob annoying squidward while he moves furniture. It's just gotten dry.
The new shows focus too hard on appealing to kids when they should be focusing on making them interesting. Avatar was so good because it had something for everyone, it was funny, sad, mature, and childish all at once. An interesting show would, ideally, appeal to everyone instead of just kids.
