Are there any adult aspies who watch kid shows?

Late at night (such as now), I find myself watching "Good Luck Charlie" and other Disney Channel (US) fare, including "Jessie", "Austin & Alley", " I Didn't Do It", "Liv & Maddie", "Dog With a Blog" (probably the silliest of the bunch). I'd probably watch many of the old classic cartoons.."Bugs Bunny" etc if we had a channel that offered them.

Once in a while I like watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, though I'm really more into it for the fan community than the show itself. It's a good show though, it reminds me of the cartoons I liked watching when I was younger. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a great cartoon as well, and I have a major soft spot for old Looney Tunes shorts.

I really don't watch cartoons that often however. I don't know, it's like I still have a hard time shedding the mental inhibition I developed against watching them back when I was 12, which I did because I wanted to seem more "grown up". I wish I would have never tried giving up cartoons and toys, because I know that there's nothing wrong with liking either of those things, but I have this stupid mental block preventing me from being free to enjoy them.

I still watch a lot and i'm 30, Sunday morning cartoons is just one part of my childhood that I never really wanted to let go of. I watch 3 or 4 animes, currently One piece, Nanatsu no Taizai, Fairy Tale and actually i'm a fair few behind on Naruto so that might be my aim this sunday. Love Adventure time and still watch Dungeons and dragons when I'm in the mood. I think its because I prefer things that are largely chipper, good fun and lack too much dramatic or sad moments.

The rest of the time i have to watch what my fiancée wants which is, Celebrity big brother, The voice, X factor, and basically any reality TV show or wedding based programme in production. Used to have to watch don't drop the baby and One born every minute all the way through her pregnancy, thats really tedious. Cartoons are a nice break from the overacted personalities on big brother or the repetitive judging of that guy from the Lost prophets on The voice (seriously every song is a story and you are only ever telling it or not quite telling it enough to make him feel like you were there, he really needs to learn something more constructive to say).

We both like Tipping Point though, so its not all bad.

I don't really watch new kids' shows but there's an awful lot of shows from my childhood that I still adore and go back to sometimes.

And Adventure Time, I love Adventure Time. But while it's technically a kids' show, its also a cult classic by this point so it's not like there's any stigma in adults watching it. Can't think of anything else, but I do need to get into Avatar sometime.

Sofia the First, Ant Farm, Littlest pet shop, Pokemon, Ever After High, H2O Just Add water, and shows on Disney channel. These are only some of the shows I watch. I watch way more movies and they are kids movies as well. Pretty much the only adult show I watch is Doctor Who.

Here I am! I love watching Sofia the First and Phineas and Ferb!
