Justice league cartoons

ok, watching "Starcrossed" then on to season 3. This show is so well put together, why on earth did they stop?

Blame Cartoon Network.

Blame Cartoon Network.

Probably true, but honestly I don't think kids care nearly as much about super heroes as we did (do). I really think there is something to these recent observations that there is simply too much entertainment to choose from. 24 hour cartoon channels. Notice the plural. We had Saturday morning. The toy aisle and Toys "R Us. We had the Sears and Montgomery Wards catalogs. And that's not even mentioning this little tool we call the internet.

Justice League and JLU were great. I still break out the DVDs from time to time.

I think the stories were better in the first two seasons ("Legends", "Hereafter", "The Savage Time" and the stuff with the Justice Lords), but it was still just as fun when it went to the expanded cast of League Members.

Blame it on The Warner Bro's Network with The Batman and the very, very short Lived Legion of Super Heroes.

both the batman and leigon of super-heros are terrible. Batman beyond proved you could go outside the box and still come up with something great!

I think, ina way, this was a big problem. As a non-superhero fan (even as a kid) I gota say the shows were okay but not great. The biggest kick seemed to be spotting all the old stuff they snook in. If you're not a silver-age fan most of it was lost on you.

What a great show it was and still is.......

Sometimes you have to take control of the remote, and make those little guys watch super heroes like I do! I can only take so much of Spongebob, Fineaus and Ferb, I Carly, and Zack & Cody. Man, I'm kind of embarrased that I remembered the names

Don't forget about comic books! I think b/c most of us had maybe 7 channels, and actually had a to a whole week for the next ep of our favorite shows, we would read comics. Today it seems like "graphic novels" (as they've come to be called ) are more for the geeky adults than for the kids. Who needs to read comic books when you have cable, DVDs, internet, cell phones not to mention endless after school activities like karate and soccer?

I really feel bad for the kids today.

The last season (technically JLU season 2) was my favorite since it had an updated Legion of Doom.

Pretty much. This one comes around all the time and it made me think of the Wii. The "serious" gamers hated it, but normal people loved it and it took off. Superhero comics need something like that. Tragicly, they've become hideously intellectually inbred since the late 80's.
