+218 It is sad that most, if not all, cartoons nowadays have to be comedic and STUPID in order to get viewers. I can't remember the last animated show that actually was smart, and NOT repetitive. Amirite?

Phineas and Ferb

That show is the reason I put "repetitive". It is not stupid, so much as every episode has the same groove.

It may be repetitive in the structure of the plot line, but I dare you to list just TWO episodes that are the same in story.

Rollercoaster and Rollercoaster the musical

Ok ill give you that, but still the whole point of the episode was to be the same as the first episode but it be a musical. So I still say that no two episodes have the same plot (but now with an exception).

The first three seasons of Spongebob?

You mean like Looney Toons? All those were repetitive and they are considered classics. I would hardly consider most Looney Toons episodes as intellectually stimulating, as you propose cartoons should be.

I'll just assume you've never seen an episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, so I don't have to ram your head up your own ass for speaking such blasphemy.

I did watch that. It was perfect. I was so sad when they ended it... T.T

Wait every one's trying to defend cartoons to make them seem more 'intellectually stimulating' :l since when did cartoons have to make sense. The whole point of watching them is to relax and escape from all the thinking we do anyway. Also the repetitiveness is what draws in the views.

hey arnold was a bit repetitive, but it was smart too.

I agree that cartoons, all tv shows really, are going to be repetitive to a degree. I think the smartest cartoon out there right now is P and F but that's just me. It's cartoon only show I can watch with my younger siblings without wanting to rip my hair out.

Recess is the shit, and Avatar: The last airbender is a fantastic series.

I kind of agree with the whole 'cartoons aren't suppose to be smart' thing, but that fanboy and chum chum thing and newer episodes of spongebob are just gross and not even that funny. Danny phantom and avatar were the last good cartoons... :(
