Jesus middle school was fucking relentless, so much so that I decked a kid in the face one day during P.E. and uppercut a kid afterschool for the same reason.

The whole “Doug traumatizing Doug because its his name” thing hits home. Being named Patrick while growing up in the late 90’s- early 00’s came with a fuck ton of Patrick Star jokes lol
At least Patrick is funny and age-appropriate. Imaging being in grade school when Thomas the Tank Engine was still fairly popular. About the only thing I can imaging being worse is being called Barney (pre-HIMYM, at least).
He even shows that it's a shirt in one episode. I don't remember the name of the episode, sorry. I believe he's talking to Rhonda and she questions it so Arnold pulls up the first shirt to show the plaid shirt and says that it's actually his shirt.
Try growing up with the name Kyle at the height of South Park's early seasons' popularity. Whatever insult Cartman threw at Kyle that week id be sure to hear it.
Worse. Kenny. What is even worse, I had an orange jacket with hood, BEFORE South Park aired... Needless to say, I kept my second name silent, as the last thing I wanted was another reason to get bullied. Now I am damned proud of having the name Kenny though. I always come back.
@@PrincessofPower84 I mean to be honest. Rockos modern life is a lot different from ren and stimpy. I've watched a few episodes of it. And I can't really say I liked it or disliked it. I can see why people would like it but I think ren and stimpy is way better.
I feel like if Doug ever sat down and gave Hey Arnold a chance he would like it a lot. Its got all the qualities of a good show he's always talking about good character development, the jokes are funny, even the most insignificant of side characters are memorable can hit on all of your emotions, and anyone can relate it to their childhood in some way, sure it might have gotten a little too preachy at times but not in a way that beat you over the head with their message like others do sometimes.
The reason why I like Arnold growing up was because he was the Straight Guy who's also the Good Guy and is always there to help you, if you ask (and sometimes when you don't). He's the sage of their class, despite him being brought up by his senile grandma, crazy granpa and eccentric tenants.
+J. Louie Dinorog Hey now don't talking smack about Steely Phil. He single handedly defeated the Nazi's at the Battle of the Bulge and is world championship Chinese checkers master lol.
I agree. I think he'd like Hey Arnold if he just sat down and watched it. I think for a while he hadn't watched Avatar the Last Airbender either and when he did watch it, he very much enjoyed it.
Hey Arnold was an amazing show. That show spoke about psychological trauma, abandonment, moral values, and lots of other issues that we can relate to, even up until today. The characters were not perfect but I'm glad I grew up watching the show.
being born in the 2000's, rugrats ended when i was young, and every time i hear the theme i get extremely nostalgic and feel like a little kid again. Rock on old Nickelodeon, you shaped our past.
I've been watching Rugrats with my now 5yo son, and it's been a joy. The first three seasons are really, really, really well written. Tons of jokes clearly meant for adults.
I was watching Nick at Nite, and I saw my first episode of Hey Arnold, as I've never seen it before. In that episode, Arnold took off his sweater and showed the plaid shirt. I didn't know people saw that as a mystery.
Yeah, it was one of those "kids being kids and doing everyday things" shows that showed up everywhere in the late 90s and early 2000s. What Hey Arnold did was tackle mature themes in a way that kids could understand. And even then, it still manages to have some good jokes. I wish he'd chosen to go for a later episode, though. Season 1 was very much the experimental season, figuring out what worked and what didn't. It had some amazing episodes, but also more clunkers than later seasons. After that, the show started leveling out with consistently good episodes, although there were several holdovers in Season 2. But once Season 3 hit, it was one gem after another. And of course, Season 4 had the legendary Helga On The Couch, one of the best character explorations I've ever seen in a cartoon. I was doing a course in Psychology in college when I saw this episode, and we talked about a lot of things like defense mechanisms and development of the brain. You can see from this episode how Helga uses defense mechanisms, and the fact that her feelings towards Arnold are unhealthy (due to her dependence on them) but understandable (because he was the only person she could look to for emotional support).
Rugrats actually had some really complex stories, like when Chucky learned about how his mother died, and wen Angelica had to realize that her bratty behavior had repercussions. Sure it has its duds where it was like "durr we're babies watch us baby talk", but it was and still is one of my favorite Nick shows.
The music was beautiful to listen to and the scenery was beautiful to look at. In fact you can see from my profile picture just how much I appreciated the scenery. I colored that from the Nichelodeon SPLAT Coloring Book
@@GBmovieluv Growing up in the 1990's two hours south of New York City, I loved "Hey, Arnold!" because of the jazz soundtrack, the background, and the fact that it made living on the East Coast feel as charming, quirky, and cool.

Arnold is wearing a plaid shirt were its unbuttoned at the bottom. I always thought it was a kilt until one episode were he said he hated kilts and would never want to wear one.

Unfortunately, i grew up when Nick was just starting to go down hill. I mostly watched Nickelodeon's sit coms, such as Drake & Josh, and i also watched George Lopez as a kid. Most of the cartoons i grew up with were on Cartoon Network and Disney channel. I stopped watching Nick after Spongebob changed writers. Never looked back since.
I watched George Lopez too, but I probably grew up at the same time you did, and Nick had good cartoons back then: CatDog, Rugrats, Invader Zim, Chalkzone, SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, Avatar: The Last Airbender, etc.

Plus there's a scene he in a episode where it's proven as an undershirt when he did one of the classic childhood mistakes of putting one's shirt on backwards

Ah yes, I too remember the great Australian Stereotype War. The name-calling of 'Bloody Drongos' and "Fakkin' Dickheads". Dingos eating babies. Boomerangs flying towards the fields of battle only to turn around and come back. Cats and dogs living together. All the while, a sole Kookaburra looked upon the the battlefield, upon the bloodshed and stubbies... and laughed his fakkin' arse off.
But I thought male cows were called "steers" if they were neutered. Wasn't there that infamous scene where Heffer has a little too much fun with a milking machine? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does still have his testicles, which would mean he's a bull.

***** Oh shut up. You really think I don't know that this is from 2009? How old do you think I am? Fucking 10? *smh* Merely pointing out a coincidence, with the presidential elections and all.
Rocko is a wallaby. Not a kangaroo. Also, there was an actual episode where a character brought up Arnold's skirt, and he declared, "It's my shirt!" And lifted up his outer layer to show the under shirt.
I have issues with the Doug theme too. My second high school choir teacher used to hear it in the morning as his theme song when he woke up in the morning.
Hey Arnold, just for the colour palette and music alone, it is so beautiful Jim Lang is a credit to that show, the music makes you feel like your there, in the streets with Arnold and the gang it is s hard to explain
I feel like Doug didn't give a proper review of Hey Arnold and only skimmed through the first episodes of season 1. If he had watched some episodes from the later seasons, he would see that this show has good moral values, interesting well-rounded characters, great humor that doesn't dumb down to little kids, and has some of the most emotional moments in an animated series. All those qualities make the show hold up to this day by its ever-growing popularity, and the fact that Nickelodeon and its creator Craig Bartlett are making a TV movie that will serve as its long-awaited closure to the series that ended on a cliffhanger years ago. Walter Banasiak gave a much better review on his Top 5 Best 90s Nicktoons video, and you can guess which came at number one.
Boy do I love Nick Toons! I remember seeing Rugrats at one time and I really love the Nickelodeon commercials and the rap from the 90's. I really wish those were back on!
1. I think you are a little too strict on doug. it kinda about the awkwardness of teenage years and how everything small is a HUGE deal. 2. The grumble has a dog's pecker for a nose and I thought that when I was a kid too. 3. You really need to watch Hey Arnold man. Its pretty entertaining even though it looks bland on the outside. One of my favorites is where the kids go looking for a ghost train arnold's grandpa tells them about. But the secret to the show is in the characters and just how shockingly adult they are. Helga's mom is a drunk, her dad is likely abusive, both Arnold's parents are dead... I mean none of it is officially stated but damn I see this stuff when I go back and watch it.
someone reall needs to compile a list of the best episodes of the show. while I have mad nostalgia for it, there are a fair share of them that are better skipped (the boat race episode comes to mind, and anything else that heavily relied on a sitcom trope) But when the show got it right, holy shit did it get it right and I hate to think that the bland kept better who otherwise would appriciate it from enjoying it.
Arnold's parents aren't dead. They're just lost in the jungles of San Lorenzo with no way to form communication between the local Green Eye natives and their son's urbanized city of Hillwood, which is an amalgam of Portland, Seattle, and Brooklyn. That's why the class of P.S.118 win a trip to some exotic location and, strangely as well as coincidentally enough, it ends up being San Lorenzo, where Arnold's parents and the Green Eye natives are the mercy of the villainous La Sombra, your typical jungle jewel-thieving baddie.
It's okay, Doug. My name is Pat, so people would always call me Patty Mayonnaise. (Also, Patty o'Furniture, fat Pat, it's Pat from SNL, and more recently, starfish.)
I know people pick on NC now and days, but these earlier episodes have such perfect comedic timing, great memorable bits, and funny jokes. These will never get old for me.
"Cool Party" is the episode. Arnold: My unique sense of style? Rhonda: Yeah, like that weird skirt thingy you always wear. It's cool. Arnold: It's my shirt. (Pulls up his sweater to prove it) Rhonda: Like that, the way you call it a shirt, is so cool. Um, Rhonda, he was only telling the truth. It doesn't make him any cooler than anyone else. Not that cool should matter - how many other fourth-grade kids at PS118 cared about what was cool?
I think you should do a Muppet month some time. For every day a month you could review a different Muppet project. There are so many to choose from; The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet Treasure Island Muppets From Space, Muppets’ Wizard of Oz, etc. You could even review Muppet TV shows like The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Muppets Tonight, maybe even the new Muppet show they had on ABC.
14:48 oh really? The drama I remember the show dealt with are childhood neglect, alcoholism, environmentalism, and coping with missing parents. Clearly the Nostalgia Critic didn’t watch the show as he claimed he did. Also that’s not a plaid shirt. That is a plaid shirt underneath Arnold’s sweater, and they didn’t live in the Bronx. They lived in a fictional city.
Fun fact: I didn't watch that Doug cartoon because *first grade me* thought the multi-color skins made them look stupid. I hated the Simpsons at first for the same reason.
doug's hate of doug is like my hate of Thomas the tank engine.... lets just say its for the exact same reason... getting mocked because my name is exactly the same as the main character =w= *tries to prevent psychotic meltdown from the mention of it* :D

Harvey Beaks doesn't even air that much from where i'm from which is sad because it's the best show Nick's had in nearly 8 years. Loud House is also good.
Shiny Sneasel It's actually pretty good. It's colorful, funny, and simple. But this show does so many things right and it's definitely more worth while to watch than Spongebob (Today).
Along with Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Star vs The Forces of Evil, Legend of Korra, Wonder Over Yonder, Adventure Time, Rick and Morty, The Amazing world of Gumball, We Bare Bears, etc. There are plenty of good cartoons on these days that are just as good, if not, better then the shows of the 90's and early 2000's if you just look around a bit.

Is there anyone here who actually enjoyed watching Doug, named Doug, and possibly tortured by Doug (Walker).
Does anyone remember Oh, Yeah Cartoons! and Kablam! ?
Yes, Prometheus and Bob is a classic series I watch sometimes on RUclips.
Oh yeah.
Oh you know yeah, Kablam! was only my favorite show.
OMG yes!
Action League Now and Life with Loopy were my favorites.
that HAVE SOME CANDY and strikeing pile of candy afterwards along with the sound of it always gets me lmao
That was me as a kid. I loved candy.
Nickelodeon then: Now, on Nicktoons...
Nickelodeon now: Now, on The Spongebob Channel...
15:38 thats his under shirt if you look it matches his collar
Plus there's a scene he in a episode where it's proven as an undershirt when he did one of the classic childhood mistakes of putting one's shirt on backwards
1996: Good Shows like Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Hey Arnold etc,
2006: Good Shows like Danny Phantom, Jimmy Newtron, Invader Zim, SpongeBob etc,
2016: ALvIn anD ThE CHImPMunKs
What About The Backyardigans?
@@jesusfuentes6820 I don't think they're counting Nick Jr. shows.
@@isobelmiller7464 It's Beacuse Danny Phantom And The Backyardigans Debuted The Same Year As Drake And Josh
@@jesusfuentes6820 Well, once again, they probably aren't counting Nick Jr. shows.
Alvin existed before this
For Doug, the characters were actually in fifth grade when the show was on Nickelodeon and sixth grade when on Disney.
My friends: why don't you like to talk about Danny phantom, I thought you loved that show
Me: 6:27 - 6:45
My favorite is sponge bob

11:59
4:50 Somebody better pick up the phone because I FUCKING CALLED IT
Cooler
It was a telemarketer. :/
I did too.
Ah yes, I too remember the great Australian Stereotype War. The name-calling of 'Bloody Drongos' and "Fakkin' Dickheads". Dingos eating babies. Boomerangs flying towards the fields of battle only to turn around and come back. Cats and dogs living together. All the while, a sole Kookaburra looked upon the the battlefield, upon the bloodshed and stubbies... and laughed his fakkin' arse off.
I wish you had looked deeper into Hey Arnold. It got really dark and real for a kids show and was fantastic...
Shame he missed out on great shows like spongebob, fairly odd parents and invader Zim
Chalk Zone, Jimmy Neutron, and so many more
Well, when we become teens, we start thinking we're too old for the stuff we loved when we were much younger.
yes yes invader zim
At least he’s seen Avatar
But it took until 2013 for him to watch that show.
6:43 Finally someone gets it! I was called Zoey 101 all throughout grade school, and I didn't even watch the show!
"A cow named Heffer"
Steer!
But I thought male cows were called "steers" if they were neutered. Wasn't there that infamous scene where Heffer has a little too much fun with a milking machine? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he does still have his testicles, which would mean he's a bull.
Isobel Miller what's the difference?
@@bradyanderson6311 Between steers and bulls? If they've been neutered, they're steers. If they still have their testicles, they're bulls.
@@isobelmiller7464 just got close.
Who has a family of wolves.
6:54
I just realised. . .
Doug is dressed like a child version of Wallace.
Does he give Patty C H E E S E on Valentine’s Day 😂
At first I thought you meant Wallace from Pokémon... that gay dude.
12:50 - Dexter out of his laboratory? Where's Deedee?
Doug, you got the theme song to Doug. I got the Nicktoons theme following me around. I feel your pain, multiplied.
When he got to Angelica, who else immediately thought 'HILARY CLINTON!'
I thought of Miley Cyrus in the Hannah Montana era -_-
Paris Hilton.
satanica
sounds about right
yep
11:00, I couldn't stop laughing!
Ren Hoek from Adult Party Cartoon Resurrected why not normal ren
A talking foot is strange? No need to scream.
I Swear to Jack Helga From Hey Arnold!Has to be Bipolar
There's a difference between acting a certain way in front of others vs. letting your guard down when no one else is around. She's not bipolar. She's insecure.
@Bob Martin It’s When You Have Violent Mood Swings,Right?
@@neglectedprincessdaisy2814 ok
@Bob Martin ok,Thanks For Letting me Know
Who the fuck is Jack, and why lie to him?
Thank God my Name’s Jodee Because I Get Awesome TV Characters Like Sheriff/Hunter Jody Mills From Supernatural,I Love Supernatural,&,I Adore Jody Mills
A Hillary Clinton comparison :D Topical. *STILL* topical.
I predicted that...
Weird because this episode was made in 2009
Yeeeaaah. You really show your age, thinking this has any relativity to now. Nice try though.
its even easyer now .
***** Oh shut up. You really think I don't know that this is from 2009? How old do you think I am? Fucking 10? *smh* Merely pointing out a coincidence, with the presidential elections and all.
11:52 That won't stop him from using this bit again in the Willy Wonka review.
Hey Arnold!
The one time he didn't remember it and so I had to.
Jingwa Fohba Gold
He said he grew out of nickelodeon when that came out
Rocko is a wallaby. Not a kangaroo. Also, there was an actual episode where a character brought up Arnold's skirt, and he declared, "It's my shirt!" And lifted up his outer layer to show the under shirt.
Doug never saw CatDog?
Hey Arnold was on Nickelodeon before CatDog, so...yeah
That show was awesome.
How about "angry beavers"?
He Forgot SpongeBob!
He was out of the whole Nick thing by the time Hey Arnold came out (1996)
Nickelodeon Month is hands down my favorite thing NC ever did.
My favorite part of the video has to be the intro, where he made it look like he was in the promo!
I have issues with the Doug theme too. My second high school choir teacher used to hear it in the morning as his theme song when he woke up in the morning.
The soundtrack from Doug reminds me of Seinfeld😂😂😂
Ren & Stimpy is a very demented cartoon. But, I still have good memories of it. So hilarious! 😂
You got it easy, my name is Thomas. Do you KNOW how many time I’ve had to put up with “Thomas the choo-choo train”?!
Or TOM from Toonami.
I miss the original Spongebob episodes seasons 1-3.
Same.
4:35 and that was answered in the abomination of a reboot, All Grown Up!
Desmond Magi Don't you mean continuation?
I loved All Grown Up! I had the GBA game, too. Well, I was 8 when it came out, so I might be looking back with nostalgia filter.
Hey Arnold, just for the colour palette and music alone, it is so beautiful Jim Lang is a credit to that show, the music makes you feel like your there, in the streets with Arnold and the gang it is s hard to explain
Rocco's a Wallaby, ya dingbat! XP
I feel like Doug didn't give a proper review of Hey Arnold and only skimmed through the first episodes of season 1. If he had watched some episodes from the later seasons, he would see that this show has good moral values, interesting well-rounded characters, great humor that doesn't dumb down to little kids, and has some of the most emotional moments in an animated series. All those qualities make the show hold up to this day by its ever-growing popularity, and the fact that Nickelodeon and its creator Craig Bartlett are making a TV movie that will serve as its long-awaited closure to the series that ended on a cliffhanger years ago.
Walter Banasiak gave a much better review on his Top 5 Best 90s Nicktoons video, and you can guess which came at number one.
Boy do I love Nick Toons! I remember seeing Rugrats at one time and I really love the Nickelodeon commercials and the rap from the 90's. I really wish those were back on!
1. I think you are a little too strict on doug. it kinda about the awkwardness of teenage years and how everything small is a HUGE deal.
2. The grumble has a dog's pecker for a nose and I thought that when I was a kid too.
3. You really need to watch Hey Arnold man. Its pretty entertaining even though it looks bland on the outside. One of my favorites is where the kids go looking for a ghost train arnold's grandpa tells them about. But the secret to the show is in the characters and just how shockingly adult they are. Helga's mom is a drunk, her dad is likely abusive, both Arnold's parents are dead... I mean none of it is officially stated but damn I see this stuff when I go back and watch it.
I agree. Hey Arnold was intense sometimes. It dealt with poverty, classism, body image, and much more. It's a great show.
someone reall needs to compile a list of the best episodes of the show. while I have mad nostalgia for it, there are a fair share of them that are better skipped (the boat race episode comes to mind, and anything else that heavily relied on a sitcom trope)
But when the show got it right, holy shit did it get it right and I hate to think that the bland kept better who otherwise would appriciate it from enjoying it.
Mostly because he (Doug Walker) was picked on about it as a kid.
Arnold's parents aren't dead. They're just lost in the jungles of San Lorenzo with no way to form communication between the local Green Eye natives and their son's urbanized city of Hillwood, which is an amalgam of Portland, Seattle, and Brooklyn. That's why the class of P.S.118 win a trip to some exotic location and, strangely as well as coincidentally enough, it ends up being San Lorenzo, where Arnold's parents and the Green Eye natives are the mercy of the villainous La Sombra, your typical jungle jewel-thieving baddie.
I actually learned a few things from Hey Arnold as a kid!
It's okay, Doug. My name is Pat, so people would always call me Patty Mayonnaise. (Also, Patty o'Furniture, fat Pat, it's Pat from SNL, and more recently, starfish.)
Nickelodeon is my childhood. I still watch these shows every day, because I now have them on DVD.
Am I the only one who thinks that Doug should do a Nickelodeon month part 2 where he looks at the present day Nick shows and the things in between?
How is Doug scary??? Wait that thing you said about Doug being scary is actually quite funnie
Siobhan Tobin It's because his name is Doug.
I know people pick on NC now and days, but these earlier episodes have such perfect comedic timing, great memorable bits, and funny jokes. These will never get old for me.
I still like him. Nowadays he's less frantic and more of a serious critic.
I never watched that episode that you talk about, but I thought Tongue instantly.
also, I still do not see the Daffy Duck inspiration.
+kadindarklord you must be joking. He screams daffy
@Carl Bloke
How so?
It's not a skirt it's a button up that's under the shirt you see. They even make a reference to this confusion in the show if I remember correctly.
"Cool Party" is the episode.
Arnold: My unique sense of style?
Rhonda: Yeah, like that weird skirt thingy you always wear. It's cool.
Arnold: It's my shirt. (Pulls up his sweater to prove it)
Rhonda: Like that, the way you call it a shirt, is so cool.
Um, Rhonda, he was only telling the truth. It doesn't make him any cooler than anyone else. Not that cool should matter - how many other fourth-grade kids at PS118 cared about what was cool?
12:34
That joke didn't age too well, now did it, Doug?
Angelica turning into Hilary Clinton is the most accurate and hilarious thing I’ve ever heard.
YEP- IT WAS A TRIO THAT DEBUTED IN 1992...DOUG, RUG RATS & REN AND STIMPY
I think you should do a Muppet month some time. For every day a month you could review a different Muppet project. There are so many to choose from; The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, Muppet Treasure Island Muppets From Space, Muppets’ Wizard of Oz, etc. You could even review Muppet TV shows like The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Muppets Tonight, maybe even the new Muppet show they had on ABC.
10:26 And now that Bev's son is actually her daughter, this makes it either even funnier or even more uncomfortable.
*WALLABY*
dandeentremont
Thank you.
14:48 oh really? The drama I remember the show dealt with are childhood neglect, alcoholism, environmentalism, and coping with missing parents. Clearly the Nostalgia Critic didn’t watch the show as he claimed he did. Also that’s not a plaid shirt. That is a plaid shirt underneath Arnold’s sweater, and they didn’t live in the Bronx. They lived in a fictional city.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
He said he never watched the show.
Fun fact: Apparently, the cast of Doug was drawn with different colors so they could connect with any viewers regardless of race.
Fun fact: I didn't watch that Doug cartoon because *first grade me* thought the multi-color skins made them look stupid. I hated the Simpsons at first for the same reason.
doug's hate of doug is like my hate of Thomas the tank engine.... lets just say its for the exact same reason... getting mocked because my name is exactly the same as the main character =w= *tries to prevent psychotic meltdown from the mention of it* :D
most people kept forgetting the name of him so i didnt get teased by him, Tom is epic :)
How about Swayzak?
I wonder if Tom Hiddleston suffered the same ridicule because of Thomas the Tank Engine.
thekid20x6 If I went to school with you, I'd call you Tom Servo.
The scream at 11:04 to 11:13 is hilarious. As well as the one from 16:34
Doug owes us a newer Nicktoon video removed from his nostalgia goggles so he can give the later shows a fair and critical shot
He glowingly reviewed Avatar: The Last Airbender
8:33 what you said made me ROFL because I agree about roger
I was in school when That's So Raven came out..... I feel your pain.
Imagine if you were in school when Teen Titans came out!
Sadly I was called Indiana Jones
@@isobelmiller7464 All the Victors would get teased because Cyborg's real name is the same as theirs.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 Who are the Victors?
@@blameitonmillie5506 I've heard that when my Aunt Hilary (whose married name is Jones) was pregnant with my cousin Gwendolyn, someone suggested naming the baby Indiana, to which Aunt Hilary replied, "Great. Indiana Jones"
And today kids get... what...? Breadwinners? The shitty RUclips channel that had like 7 subscribers?
Nick actually cancelled Breadwinners if I'm correct. At least they have some pretty decent shows airing now, such as Harvey Beaks and The Loud House.
Harvey Beaks doesn't even air that much from where i'm from which is sad because it's the best show Nick's had in nearly 8 years. Loud House is also good.
Shiny Sneasel It's actually pretty good. It's colorful, funny, and simple. But this show does so many things right and it's definitely more worth while to watch than Spongebob (Today).
Adventure time Clarence Steven universe the amazing world of gumball regular show the loud house Harvey beaks teen titans go.
Along with Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Star vs The Forces of Evil, Legend of Korra, Wonder Over Yonder, Adventure Time, Rick and Morty, The Amazing world of Gumball, We Bare Bears, etc. There are plenty of good cartoons on these days that are just as good, if not, better then the shows of the 90's and early 2000's if you just look around a bit.
