Dying 2D animation

Let us set the way back machine for about the year 2006 here in America.  CN was doing their road trip small themed layout where colorful characters like Scooby and the gang rolling around the town in their blue van as they pull up next to Johnny Bravo.  They begin casually conversing before challenging each other to a race,  the Mystery machine stalls out as Johnny drives away.  And then the Pokemon Movie featuring the cool Lucario comes back on.  I was 8 at the time and hanging out with my sister and our two friends.  We were sitting in their house watching this, we loved Pokemon at the time.  Among other things.  Where we loved Mechassault, Metal Arms, Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, and Sonic.  (More Shadow than anything but you get the point.)  It was a good age, but why did I mention Scooby Doo, Johnny Bravo and Pokemon?  Because they were all 2D animation.  The pinnacle of modern entertainment at the time.  No computers backing these things.  This was timeless hand-drawn animation.  But the problem is that they are all part of a fading art.  That's right.  2D animation is suffering a slow and painful life-support induced comma.  They are practically clinically dead.  While the heroine, LSD, crack/cocaine, and Crystal Meth of our generation are taking center stage on our children's TV screens.  I'm talking about the annoying shows that our fat American children love today.  I'm talking about things like Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, The Amazing World of Gumball, MAD (Which I somewhat like for a little while until I read the damned magazine and found out that CN had totally ruined their reputation).  The Annoying Orange (Which I unsubscribe to Danobe shortly after they went to TV.)  Teen Titans GO (Which, let's all admit; is just sad.)  and the ever popular Adventure Time.  Let me ask you something my early 00s children.  do any of you remember just plain Teen Titans?  I mean does anyone remember Slade Wilson?  One of Robin's most dangerous enemies?  He was actually, in a way; kind of cool.  He's like the Darth Vader of the DC universe.  He's got a sort of style to his torture to Robin.  It was cool and much like an anime series, which actually looked pretty good.  Now, The Annoying Orange, is a totally different story.  Where Danobe would take his face and put it on the faces of fruit.  For the longest time, I really liked the Annoying Orange when it was on YouTube.  Danobe announced his launch on CN in the summer of 2012 and I was excited for him.  But then I saw what his show was going to be like.  I thought to myself: This isn't the Danobe I remember.  What happened to the sitting in the kitchen, making bad jokes and his intoxicating laugh?  I can tell you right now that it left with him leaving the Internet.  I never watched another Danobe video after that.  Its just become sad.  Now onto more recent titles.  Shows like Gumball, Uncle Grandpa, Regular show, and Adventure Time were icons to a lot of things.  Regular show even has its own meme.  But the thing is, they're leaving the solid background of good, action filled and some comedic entertainment for cheaply animated shows and sleazy humor.  The shows I've seen nowadays have been plain disgusting.  Especially Uncle Grandpa and Gumball.  With terrible photo-real 2D animation and blend of strange claymation and box and board backgrounds.  Everything just looked like a model 2D world where they had random creatures built into it.  With a giant harry beast with his butt cheeks sticking out.  The fat father who seemed obsessed in walking around in his underwear and had his moobs flashing everyone.  And not to mention a banana who threw off his peeling and was swinging it in the air.  In Uncle Grandpa, it's a show about a strange man who looks like a pedophile wearing a lederhosen.  He does toe wrestling with a buff pizza wearing sunglasses.  If this doesn't spell 'Fueled by LSD' I don't know what does.  But why is Regular Show up here?  Well, because they all sound immature.  The gumball headed guy sounds like a whiny little bitch, but Rigby and Mordecai sound high 24 hours a day.  It's like Cartoon Network nowadays is fueled on drugs.  This is why the current lineup of CN shows has become the Cartel of children's Television.
