The Cut Off

What is the cut off age to stop watching cartoons? Is it when you turn 17? Is it when you turn 18? Maybe it when, you pay your first bill maybe when you hit puberty? A better question to ask is why do people feel the need to make themselves stop watching cartoons? When they teach you life lessons and can help you through depression and real life problems and situation. Some Cartoons are just for enjoyment something to just turn off your brain for..Why feel ashamed about something that make you feel good and teaches you something? I guess it just depends on the type of person you are or maybe people should be just more open minded and open to new things. Because some of those new things might just improve your life or help someone around you in a way you didn't know was possible. There is not cut off age there is noting wrong with watching cartoons take pride in what you do.
 ("Drawn Together" is Comedy Central's twisted take on reality shows. Its characters, all parodies of animated icons, live together in a swanky house and get into mischief a la MTV's "The Real World."

Just like the non-animated variety, there's sex, catfights, binge drinking and hot-tubbing. "Family-values groups tend to make a lot less noise about places like Comedy Central," said Robert Thompson, chair of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University. "It's clearly identified as 'not a safe haven."'

Years ago, TV animation in prime time started and stopped with squeaky-clean shows like "The Flintstones." Now, post "Beavis and Butt-Head," there are more-adult offerings such as "South Park" and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." All have "mature" ratings and air in late-evening slots.

"Cartoons that aren't appropriate for kids are common," Mr. Thompson said. "The one thing that might make people nervous about 'Drawn Together' is that these animated characters are parodies of ones we know from kid animation and they look familiar for that reason.")
