sad thing is network TV doesn't even have cartoons anymore, when I was a kid and well into my 20's there was both Saturday morning and weekday afternoon cartoons , hell there were weekday morning one's too,as well as others at different times on different days, now there is one block on the CW of pure crap, and I blame 4kids for all the crap not only do they continue to do terrible dub's of anime but some of the worst atrocities were in the past shaman king,one piece, and the original yu-gi-oh, just to name the biggies, but they ruined lots of good shows, hell even pokemon was pretty slap dash. But back to the point yes I do think cheap crap has killed cartoons forever, even cable is mostly a wasteland of reruns and flash animated garbage,lucky for me the internet is here now and it's bounty is limitless.

To me, Dragon Ball Z is my Pokemon. Many anime/shows got shafted because of it. Not just cancelled but also ignored, badly. I don't hate DBZ, I just don't like it as much as everyone else.

It's barely a good anime to begin with because of terrible plot, repetitive fight scenes over and over again, and the infamous "one hero syndrome". But it gets a pass because fanboys like the over the top fights.

It gave "anime fanboys" too much expectations on other anime. When one anime doesn't have over the top battles in the first episode, people criticize the anime completely without giving it a chance. So many good animes get shafted because of DBZ, especially ones that has excellent stories and characters.

Never liked the Flinstones or Scooby Doo. Always considered those as dumb and unfunny even when I was like 6 or 8 years old.

Digimon came out before Pokemon in Japan. The anime might have been imported and translated due to Pokemon's popularity (which means your point is still valid in a way), but it's not a "Pokemon rip off".

The pokemon anime came out in 1997 in Japan. Digimon came out in 1999.

Huh, you're right. Even the original Digimon virtual pets came after the first Pokemon game. My mistake, I was always under the impression that Digimon came first.
