I want this on a t-shirt.  No, a billboard.

This wouldn't even be happening if the original characters were still on TV.  BTW, what the hell ever happened to Saturday morning cartoons?  They have decorating shows on Saturdays now.  Stupid yuppies and their crap...

There are still cartoons on Saturday mornings! The difference now is that you dont have to wake up at 6am to catch them because they're also on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.. trust me, I know from experience...RugRats is the stupidest cartoon on by the way! No, not just ON but EVER. Bah! Bring Back Bugs!!!

Kids these days! They are SO SPOILED!!!

From what I remember, cartoons would start around 8am and play on until 1pm, usually concluding with more live-action stuff, like Fat Albert and a thing called Jason From Star Command. I'm talking around 1979 or so.  The cartoon lineups used to get a full-page spread in the comic books of the day and sometimes even a primetime special on a Friday night to give kids a preview of what was debuting that season.  Of course, I might as well be talking about the scrap-iron drives and victory gardens my grandparents told me about, as the cartoon set ups of yesteryear are as obsolete as your Uncle Ronnie's Commodore 64...

And so what if they're on 24/7?  The cartoons sure don't feature anything I want to see.  Where the hell are the cartoon legends?!?  Bugs Bunny, Popeye and what the hell ever happened to Heckle and Jeckle?!? Or Mighty Mouse?!? Popeye, we hardly knew ye...

I have that new-fangled "Digital" cable and I can't find Bugs or even the sort-of-classic Johnny Bravo anymore.  Don't get Boomerang or whatever it's called, so I  guess I'd better go out and buy the DVDs.

Heckle and Jeckle!!!

I am just horrified at this!!!!!!!!  One of my most treasured memories is watching Sat. a.m. cartoons with my brother.  He knew most all of the lines to any of the Looney Tunes and would have me laughing like a lunatic.  I really wish Saturday mornings were like they used to be. 
Just can't believe that they're basing these stupid looking dark characters on our favorites.  It really made me mad when I saw Bugs dressed in baggy pants and a backwards baseball cap a few years ago (same happened w/ Mickey Mouse!), but this is just madness. 
I guess as a 30-something mother, I just don't get it!  Don't see why modern cartoons have to be either so dumbed down and stupid or very dark and evil looking....  Can't understand the appeal at all!  Thankfully, we do have Boomerang and can watch all of the old classics.

Well it could be worse - they could bring back Sid & Marty Kroft's WONDERBUG - the Schleprock dune buggy!

I signed the petition and will pass the link to all that I know!  I for one LOVE Boomerang, as the last place to watch the classics!
We buy them on DVD too! I have looney tunes as my wallpaper, and also an animated screen companion, and I have the little alien as my mouse too! VIVA Marvin!
