People always say that it's just because the shows aren't made for you anymore and that's actually the problem but not the way you think.
The shows are quite literally dumber. Cartoons used to have content for parents as well as the kids. Like sneaking in adult jokes that would fly right over a kids head. Now cartoons are just about capturing attention through flashy colors and constantly changing scenes.
Put on a cartoon made decades ago and the whole family can enjoy it. Put on a modern cartoon and anyone over 12 can't stand it
Bluey would like a word, sir.... :D
You mean shitty remakes made to capitalize on the parents that want to share their nostalgia with their kids, there are plenty of excellent shows for kids nowadays and frankly I'm jealous, there's plenty of variety of shows that don't treat you like you're dumb (there's still pepa pig style of crap tho).
It's like the marvel garbage, they make it for people who are addicted to their stuff and so will buy it regardless of quality and even buy more into it when they can complain about a brown character or something.
Edit: I wanted to add: shitty reboots don't magically make the originals disappear, yet people treat it like that. Find new stuff, don't be old man yelling at cloud.
Hey, don't go hating on Peppa Pig, that show is great!

Peppa pig is FILLED with jokes for the parents. It was one of the few shows I could watch with my toddlers because of all the jokes between the narrator and the parents. I wouldn't watch it now because the sentences and narratives are meant to match the life experience of kids up to about gr 1-2, but it was a great show.
Everyone loves when mr bull digs up the road zooms out to all the cars in the traffic jam honking.
I present Bluey as my defense.
They still have adult jokes
