What the HECK has happened to TV?

Dear Reader,

What the heck has happened to TV?
Seriously, what the HECK has happened to TV?

When did all the good shows stop?
Where have they gone?

I'm talking about shows like Angry Beavers, So Weird, Dinosaurs, Rugrats (old episodes), Dexter's Laboratory, PepperAnn, PowerPuff Girls, Boy Meets World, Figure It Out, Johnny Quest, Kenan and Kel, All That, Hey Arnold, Art Attack, SpongeBob SquarePants (the old episodes), Doug, Johnny Bravo, Even Stevens, Recess, Cousin Skeeter, The Three Brothers Garcia and many, many more.

Now I clearly know that I had only started watching TV in the latter half of the 1990's, and it's not really my place to rant about it because I've only been exposed to the gist of it. But my question still stands :

What the HECK has happened to TV?

And let's see what we have now to replace those awesome shows :
iCarly
Squirrel Boy
Life With Derek
The Naked Brothers Band
The Replacements
The Mighty B!
Unfabulous
El Tigre
PowerPuff Girls Z (What the heck?!)
Out of Jimmy's Head
Hannah Montana
Thumb Wrestling Federation
My Gym Partner's A Monkey
George Of the Jungle (animated series)
RobotBoy
Wizards of Waverly Place

I remember a time not too long ago when the fun channels (shows for kids) actually had quality TV. From around 1998 to around 2003. Those were the years I remember watching these good programmes. The only reason (and I'm quite sure I share this reason with many other people out there) that I watch these current crappy shows is basically because I have no choice.

But sure, there are those shows nowadays which are OK. Like Drake and Josh, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Avatar : The Last Airbender, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, That's So Raven, Naruto, Codename : Kids Next Door, Star Wars : Clone Wars and some of The Fairly OddParents episodes (Remember I'm only talking about the Fun channels).
Eventhough there are still some good existing shows, they are quite mediocre compared to the good ol' 90's shows, and only make me laugh a third as much.



Think about it.



That's all for now. Salams.
