Just a little market research:
What drove you crazy when you watched Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Was there anything cartoons did that you found especially patronizing, or disappointing, or off-putting back then? Is there anything you'd wish they'd do, that they never did? Were there any cliches that you noticed even back then?
@zebratron2084 one thing that is particular to me is that dragons were always presented either as evil or goofy or both.
I mostly hated the "episodic" nature of the shows--how no matter what happened in any episode, everything would get completely reset to "normal" (usually with a little "laughing-with-the-Scrappy" moment in the last 20 seconds, Ho! Ho! Ho!) by the end of the episode. even then I understood why, but I still hated it.
@zebratron2084 eeeee *dances* :D
