Did you watch cartoons later in life than average?

Does Archer count? Lol.

Yes. I think that I watched "Arthur" for more years then most children. Can you blame me? It was a great show, and I am sure that it still is!

I am a big fan of the classic cartoons that anyone can watch such as "Peanuts", and I still watch "Veggie Tales" now and then. To me, "Veggie Tales" fits into this category because I grew up with it, and I am twenty-one years old.

Whenever my family is subscribed to get a news paper, the main thing that I look forward to is the comic strips.

I watched a bunch of Invader Zim on YouTube just last night. I am 31.

I'm 20 years old, out of high school, and still watch cartoons.

It's nothing to be ashamed of, really.

Nope, but I have an adult ASD friend that still binge watches cartoons every once in a while. I don't think it's for any other reason than because he enjoys them. It's certainly not for a lack of friends or social opportunities as he is very well liked by many. I think it's just one of the things he enjoys doing in his solitude/downtime.

I watch cartoons all of the time. I feel like I can understand them better than watching anything more adult-related or for older audiences. Once a while, I do watch things like Doctor Who, but it's really rare for me to watch anything that's geared towards my age level though.

I'm 27 and I still love cartoons. Scooby Doo is awesome.

The funny thing is that people think adults don't watch cartoons anymore but as far back as the early 20th century and today there have been cartoons released for theatres and TV that were for adults such as Betty Boop, Looney Tunes (which I didn't know it was for adults and they contained not only racist content but the sexist depictions of female characters and dialogue as well as acts that referred to sex in general, given the fact that Bugs Bunny has a penchant for cross dressing and kissing his male enemies to fool them, Porky slept with Daffy at one point when I noticed the words love spots in one article; I had no idea what they mean. Did it mean they were making out? I don't know, Pepe le Pew chasing a female cat mistaken for a skunk and wanting to get laid, references to WW 2, suicide gags, alcohol and drug abuse, the majority of the characters are male and last but not least is the mockery of people with speech disorders: Porky having a stutter, Daffy and Sylvester lisping and Elmer Fudd reversing the rs with ws which in my opinion is a reflection of how people with disabilities endure bullying and discrimination from society with or without intention, something that Whoopi Goldberg forgot about that when she made a disclaimer about the content in the cartoons) and The Simpsons. Most of the cartoons past and present contain pop culture references as well. I agree what you said nothing wrong with watching cartoons.

I'm 55. I still do. Does that count?

If you watch some cartoons, you can tell that there are things for adults as well as children in them. Many things written for children have subtle adult humor in them that goes over the heads of the children, but are there to entertain the adults who are watching those cartoons with their children. To me, cartoons are for people of all ages, not just for children.

You're never too old for cartoons! Only I don't just watch cartoons, I draw them too. And not just fan art, I make up my own characters as well.

I don't watch cartoons much now, though. Because nearly all the new cartoons are stupid and horrible, I don't care even for the very few people say are good, and most of the cartoons I do like I've watched only about a million times.

The other night on YouTube I caught up on a couple 1990's Powerpuff Girl episodes I haven't seen before. It was one of the most awesome cartoons ever, but it makes me depressed that the 2016 version is so awful. Not surprised at all, but still depressed.

One of my coworkers (NT-ish lol) who is 41 still watches animated series.. as do many of the younger ones. Heck, the 50 year old guy watches some, too. Mind you, they don't watch kids stuff.. more the adult oriented cartoons and super hero stuff. But still.. yeah, I don't think there's a mindset that animation = kids stuff, anymore.

I like to watch my favorite cartoons from the 90s every once in awhile. As for the cartoons that are on now, I like the Regular Show and the new Powerpuff girls show. I love adult cartoons. My favorite are Family Guy, South Park, Bordertown, and the Simpsons. I watch Aqua Teen Hungerforce sometimes.

I'm 22 and I still watch tons of cartoons. I watched the Disney Channel until I was 20. I watch the kids section on Netflix and Shomi all the time.
