| 11883 | How was your day? | <span style="font-weight: bold;">@Ben:</span> Hmmm. If the guy was willing to sell you a 'puter that was knee deep in a virus, it makes me wonder what other "goodies" await your discovery on it. :skep:<br> | Vaporman87 | Sep 28, 2014 |  |
| 11882 | How was your day? | well today started off rather unusual. there was a yard sale that i chanced upon, and some guy in his 20s was selling a windows vista laptop. i thought it was about time to trash out my old 2007 dell inspiron laptop, and he offered a very reasonable $50 for it, including the battery charger, but something was amiss. as i'd gotten home, a virus was leftover on it, and one that takes control of webpages that you visit on any type of browser. i didn't panic though, and luckily i found my way around that since it's one of those that bypass virus scanners and uninstalls. the RAM is only 1 gb, but it performs a lot better than my previous laptop | Benjanime | Sep 28, 2014 | |
| 11881 | Congrats vkimo!!! (C'mon... everybody!) | Remember to treat your kids right, parents.<br><br>If you don't, they might grow up to write a tell-all book. Or they might go on The Bill Cunningham Show and blame every problem they have on you lol. <br><br> | Mr Magic | Sep 28, 2014 | |
| 11880 | R.I.P Saturday Morning Cartoons | I already gave my take on the Retrojunk thread, but I'll repost it here.<br><br>It was inevitable anyway. Sure, some people blame the FCC and the like. That may be part of it, but I really think the number one biggest reason is the fact that kids have cable channels like Nickelodeon, as well as streaming services such as Netflix. All of which, gives kids a lot more options, that there is really not much of a reason to watch Saturday Morning cartoon shows on broadcast TV.<br><br> Really, Saturday morning cartoons had more meaning back during the 60s and 70s, because there was no cable, and the only place to watch cartoons was on any of the three TV networks. And with that, they made Saturday Mornings the ultimate place to turn to watch the newest and latest cartoons (although, a lot of them at the time were a bunch of shitty Scooby-Doo clones). And then, cable came along, and Nickelodeon was launched as the first kids TV channel. That was one of the first signs that would bring the end of Saturday morning cartoons, but even then, it was still alive and well in the 80s.<br><br> What really marked the beginning of the end was when NBC got rid of their Saturday Morning cartoon block, and they brought in teen shows on NBC, such as Saved by the Bell. Sure, the magic of Saturday Mornings was still around even when I was a kid, and there did exist Fox Kids and Kids WB, which had a hand in keeping Saturday Mornings around for a little while longer, but it was still slowly dying back then. The popularity of networks like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network was rising, and this gave Saturday morning blocks an even bigger chance to die off.<br><br> Now that cable raised to being the standard, and kids are not only watching 24/7 kids networks, but they also have the Internet, in which they can watch quality kids programming through Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Instant, etc. This really gives kids more opportunities to view their favorite programming. With that much access to children's programming, there's really no longer a reason for kids to watch any traditional Saturday Morning TV blocks on broadcast television.<br><br> Still, we can't really complain. Like Vkimo said earlier, these shows are for kids... and this isn't something for us to try to petition and get Saturday Morning shows to come back on the air. I know there was one butthurt user on Youtuber I made fun of years ago who tried to do that, because he thinks that he, and other people, thinks their entitled to have kids programming that's just the way it is during their childhoods. The thing is though, if kids do not feel they have a reason to tune into any broadcast channel for Saturday Morning cartoons, then there's no reason for them to exist. If they really do appease to these internet users by actually creating a new Saturday Morning block that's supposedly targeted for kids, and it's all the type of programming that these people on the internet have asked for, and it's not something kids are interested in watching. All this so called "children's block" would be catered towards are grown-ass manchildren in their 20s and 30s, and not for the kids. This is why I say this... we're not the ones who are entitled. I know some people aren't willing to accept this, but it is something we should move on from. <br> | blueluigi | Sep 27, 2014 | |
