I will say that American Dad seems to rely more on storytelling and writing rather than Family Guy's random pop culture references, but I still don't like either show.

On Cartoon Network, I did have respect for Ed, Edd, & Eddy, Courage, and KND, but I still didn't like them as much.  But no matter what, i can't stand Teen Titans.  Not even the new one.

My brother Jeff watched a lot of those Nick shows you mentioned, so I'm familiar with them.  Hey Arnold has a longer history than what you might think, and is related to The Simpsons.  I'm not a big fan of SpongeBob, but there are a couple of episodes I like (such as the one where they sell candy bars).

Kim Possible and Phineas and Ferb are good shows on Disney, I'll admit.  I just didn't get into them as much.  But i do have respect for them.

Steven Universe is just another variation of Adventure Time, really.

I loved The Jetsons as a kid, but now I can't stand it.  I think Top Cat was really sophisticated, though.

I never watched that show, but I know what you're talking about.

I had to read the instructions to figure out how to play Pressure Cooker, too.  But once you figure things out, man is it a fun game!

Instead of posting your own blogs, you can just post comments on mine!  :)  Nah, I'm just joking with you.  I really appreciate your feedback and comments.  Great stuff!

Have you ever watched Top Cat?  I always thought that show was sophisticated, too.

Yeah Garfield and Friends was doing humor you wouldn't see until Animaniacs came out years later.  But I already talked about how much I liked that show.

Yeah I used to watch all that stuff on Cartoon Network like O Canada and Toon Heads.  We didn't get Cartoon Network until I was already in college, so I missed a lot of the early stuff.

A couple of things I've noticed about The Simpsons.  Even though Bart is an awful kid, I've noticed that nearly every time he does something wrong, he DOES get punished for it.  And The Simpsons is a surprisingly religous family.  They all go to church, and most other sitcom families don't do that.

I just can't stand Family Guy.  I saw the crossover a while back and it was just awful.  Shows like Family Guy and South Park just cross the line for me.  I don't like Bob's Burgers, but the main character always makes me think of the coach from Home Movies (same voice actor).

I'm mildly interested in the Paddington Bear movie because I have an interest in children's books, and I used to watch the stop motion Paddington shorts as a kid.  But I'll just wait until the movie comes on Netflix.  Going to see that in the theater as an adult without a kid would be weird.

And don't apologize for the long comments!  I really appreciate everyone's comments and feedback.  --Cary

I think I liked the Peanuts cartoons more than the comic strip.  The movie looks neat.  Even though it's computer animated, they still gave it that flat, limited animation style.

While I do think the voice actors are very talented, I think they can be a bit too big for their britches sometimes.

My favorite Atari 2600 game is Pressure Cooker.  it's surprisingly deep for a 2600 game.  Check it out.

I actually played Super Mario Bros. in the arcade long before I played it on the NES.

I always thought Turbo looked really cool graphically as a kid. 

If you like point and click adventures, I highly recommend some of TellTale's stuff.  I'm not really into their newest offerings, but a few years ago I was enjoying their Sam & Max games, Tales of Monkey Island, and Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures.  I wish they still made whimsical stuff like that.  Now it's just all dark Walking Dead stuff.
