Are there any adult aspies who watch kid shows?

Post Reply New Topic

Foster's Home of imaginary friends, Teen Titans... love em' both

By far, the most childish show that I can't get enough of is Between the Lions. There are tons of adult oriented jokes that children would never understand. Dr. Ruth, the sex therepist, has her own segmant which is kinda odd. And the music is f*****g amazing IMO despite it's childish nature.

Ah, this is a good question.

Concerning being an adult now watching shows geared for todays kids, then the answer is no. For shows that I watched as a kid made during my childhood days, then yes I do want to watch shows like Transformers, X-Men (when it was on Fox Kids), TMNT, etc. I like

Most cartoons I watched then were more my parents cartoons, or even my grandparents cartoons. Like Looney Tunes, Disney, and Tom and Jerry, or Scooby Doo.

A second question should be asked, do your kids or any kids you know watch older cartoons, from your era, or at least the previous generation? I would say at least 20 to 30 years old.

I watch cartoons, but so does my NT brother (he's also an adult). An example: at first we only had the first season of X-Men Evo in our possession, we watched that together, and then he found the other eps and watched them by himself, without my knowledge, and he said when I expressed my anger over that that he had no idea I'd want to watch along. Heck yea! (To this he replied he'll watch them with me, again... and he probably will! My brother is cool )

Here are a few cartoons I sometimes watch or watched:

Sailor Moon (when it was on YTV up in Canada)
Team Galaxy (YTV)
Totally Spies! (Teletoon Canada)
Spider Riders (Teletoon Canada)
A Charlie Brown Christmas (in season, of course; YTV now has
Canadian rights to it after buying them away from CBC)

That's it for now.

Some of them are okay, but I only tend to watch the ones with violence!

And I usually only watch them when I'm too apathetic to change the channel, but to bored to stop watching.

I do. I find them more entertaining them what's on prime time programs

I'm currently addicted to "The REAL Ghostbusters" which you can find on youtube. Yay!!

I watch lots of cartoons and kid shows, but I also enjoy very adult shows (I mean HBO stuff not porn). I still like to watch Arthur which is probably the youngest demographic tv show I watch.

On second thought, no; that's not it.

I also regularly watch [/i]6teen[i] [sic] (Teletoon Canada).

Hell yeah most "adult" programming is rather lame and uninteresting so these days I tend to watch only kids shows my favorite would have to be The Brady Bunch I can sing the whole jingle, yet at age 33 I still don't know the Australian anthem

Looney tunes. Not sure its on anymore. But I have a couple of the DVD collections. Muppet Show, used to love Beakmens world and Pinky and the Brain.

Zombie thread, but what the hell...

Tom & Jerry/Merry Melodies/Old Cartoons
Anime
Spongebob (my wife got me started last year)
Pinky & The Brain/New Cartoons

I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of at the moment

I like Power Rangers. My fave was Ninja Storm.

I don't watch much TV.

I like Digimon Frontier too, though I don't watch the dub, so it's not quite as kid show-y as it is here in the US.
