Compare that to what I watched like TMNT, Defenders of the Earth, He-Man, Dungeons and Dragons, Grange Hill et al and they used to say exactly what you're saying. That my fav kids shows were rubbish and theirs taught them lessons and meant something.

I think those are way more awesome, no matter what.
The 80's kids had cooler cartoons (not to mention the theme songs), action figures, and the best children/phantasy films of all...I don't think it was about the message, c'mon, when prince adam started talking at the end, you turned that shit off. Voltron...HAD no message.
The era just rocked.
...and I maintain, the shit I've seen since has been on a downward slope, why?
Because I can still watch, and prefer the aforementioned shows to anything today.
I mean c'mon..
Beyblade? Pokemon? Card Captor? Every Nicktoon that looks just like the last one?
The two most acceptable cartoons I've seen come out in ages are the current spider-man and x-men ones...but even THEY had better versions, back in the 90's...which wasnt BAD for cartoons, when you take invader zim into account, but still the beginning of a downward spiral.
and the younger kids, what theyre showing them nowadays on tv is like something I'd expect in a special ed class.
