When you watch t.v. do you like watching animated shows or shows that are reality? I like watching both but I like animated because I liked watching anime when I was younger.
-
People still watch Reality TV shows?
-
Gee, I don't watch either of those genres.
-
I like to watch both, but some cartoons are almost too otherworldly for me to like.
Actually, that's not right... I guess they're just not enough like my world for me to like. I like to watch shows about real people because I can relate and identify with the characters, but to me there's nothing wrong with a little flying around in fighter jets to keep the alien lizards from invading our planet! Err... excuse me. Basically I watch real shows if I'm more serious or in a "let's fit in to society today!" mood, and I watch cartoons so I can forget about my own life's limitations. Then again, that's why I watch any shows...

I HATE reality TV. My mom (Strange Love, that crappy show on VH1), dad (The Apprentice, that crappy show on NBC), and sister (American Idol, that crappy show on FOX) love that crap.
I prefer cartoons over reality, though I hardly watch TV anymore.
The cartoons I like the most are:
Family Guy
Invader ZIM
The Simpsons
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
InuYasha
...Oh, and I HATE Spongebob. I wanted that cartoon to die ever since it premiered.

OOOohhhh... Real like Reality shows where the people aren't actors. I don't like those either usually, because I'm not on them. I was talking about shows that weren't animated earlier.

Reality TV sucks, blah blah blah whatever..
I like them cause they are so annoying, because it has other people in it, people who we dislike and find irritating, and whats worse is that they think they're so great, and think people really love them, heh..

Arg, matey

I just sit in my room watching taped episodes of The Price is Right...all the time...
I don't really enjoy either, though I do love The Simpsons. And I will watch Family guy every so often.
That, and I find reality TV annoying. Just the way some of the people act, I see red, and wake up hours later not knoing what happened

Cartoons. I love cartoons.
I'll watch live action shows, but I really dislike Reality TV.

I like watching shows with real people, that way you can have fantasies. :D
Cartoons are okay I guess, like spongebob, fairly odd parents, simpsons, family guy, south park, and a few other funny ones, but I'm not into the whole anime thing. To me, it's lame and every anime show seems to be the same

...There are some good reality shows. The ones I watch are American Idol (Scott Savol must die!), Amazing Race (Can't get enough of the Travelocity Gnome commercials!) And Apprentice (You're FIRED!). Actually, we just call Apprentice "You're fired." And there's the Geico commercial about Tiny House. I wish that were a real reality show!!!
And I like SpongeBob! New episodes on Fridays! I don't really like Fairly Odd Parents, because they repeat stupid phrases 100 times per episode... But I don't want people to dislike me for saying that, it's just my opinion. Invader Zim rocks!!! Hooray for Gir!

I don't watch cartoons or reality. I can't stadn either. These days I watch programs on Discover, TLC or Animal Planet as well as some comedies and dramas. I love anime though. I don't consider anime and cartoons to be the same, both are animations but they are world's apart. Most anime I watch isn't on TV. My top five series are Sailor Moon, Vandread, I My Me! Strawberry Eggs (yes, taht's where I got thoes questions from), Magic USer's Club and The Slayers.

Reality TV I wish died out with Survivor 1. I think it's ridiculous the "reality" shows that are coming out, especially if "reality" is still defined as 'unscripted TV'. I see reality shows as people forced into bizarre situations and told to act naturally in said situations.
I don't watch animated shows much anymore because the ones I like are no longer on TV. Taz-Mania's gone, Tiny Toon Adventures disappeared, Sonic SatAM should have never been canceled, and so on. I'm also sad that Angry Beavers and Rocko's Modern Life can no longer be seen on Nickelodeon, but instead on Nicktoons TV, a channel available to those with some sort of extended cable option. Stupid extended cable, wish there was a "select the channels you want to receive" option. Had I known I would have extended cable for a couple weeks instead of it being a permanent thing, I would have watched Angry Beavers every day (er, except I was too busy watching G4 at the time).
I really wish Angry Beavers would come back.

Reality shows get very annoying. I USED to watch Survivor, but now it's stupid. Fear Factor, same thing all the time ( i HATE the host! he talks to loud and is annoying as heck!) Cartoons are okay. Family Guy is really funny, Futurama is okay, Spongebob has always been a classic (the first 1 i saw was when he ripped his pants and i liked it ever since), and there are a few animes that are okay, but they're kinda weird. Fairly Odd Parents is pretty annoying. Sometimes I just want that show to shut up! Timmy's parents have the power to make me want to claw my own eyes out.
Alright that's my opinion.
I remember the angry beavers. That show was weird, but i liked it. That little noise that Dag made was funny. It was like, "Neeeeeh!" or sumthin like that. Angry Beaver's animation was very strange.

"I don't consider anime and cartoons to be the same, both are animations but they are world's apart."
Wow, that's got to be the most ignorant comment I've recently heard on this board.
Time to chime in. I generally don't watch reality TV since quite frankly, much of it has been run to the ground (The Apprentice, American Idol, Survivor) while some is just absolutly degrading or dumb (The Simple Life, Extreme Makeover).
As for the animated department, I watch a lot of it. If I still had cable, I'd probably be watching Drawn Together, South Park, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Spongebob Squarepants and one big list full of cartoons I haven't seen for a long time. Luckily, Family Guy is back on public TV.
-
I don't consider Cartoons and Anime to be much different at all. They're both cartoons, they just originate from a different country.
Angry Beavers was okay. The guy who did the voice of Dag (Richard Horvitz) also did the voice of ZIM in Invader ZIM, my most favorite Nick Cartoon. Funny, he sounds a lot like his characters in real life.
Rocko's Modern Life was great, too. The guy who did the voice of Rocko did the voice of Mr. Weed on Family Guy.
The Sonic cartoon was AWESOME. I didn't like Sonic SatAM (The darker, more serious one) much, I liked the original AoStH (The more comedic one) better.
If I missed an episode of Sonic, I thought life wasn't worth living for the rest of the day, so I usually did nothing and thought about wat it'd be like if I didn't miss an episode.
-
I also like to watch MXC. It's a Japanese eliminatin challenge where they do the craziest stuff. One of them is "cling to the big mushroom until it gets to the other side of the water and jump on the land!" Crazy stuff. And good, you should watch it on Spike TV, it's worth the time. I don't care if you have something against the channel, don't tell me.

Sorry, that's just how I feel. I know not all cartoons are for kids or dumb and I know not all anime is great. I just perfere anime plots, characters, music, and animation to American cartoons, so i consider them different.

Wow, I agree with everything Vid said in his last post, except I didn't see every episode of the Sonic cartoon, and I don't watch Invader Zim much either.

Family Guy, The Simpsons, and Spongebob. Ahhhh, and all those cartoons are still making new episodes! Life is good.
If a tree falls in the woods, do all the others laugh at it?
-
MXC is hilarious. I love that show. it truley is worth watching. Anyways, i thought they stopped making spongebob after the movie or something, but then i saw a new one (where spongebob goes into Mr. Krab's shell) and i was releived.
If Toad is a mushroom and a mushroom is a fungus and a fungus is a decomposer, can we say that Toad is a decomposer?

Still don't see how Anime plots, characters, music, and animation are considered different from American plots, characters music and animation.

I know not all of them are, but most American cartoon series are just a bunch of unrelated stories with little character development. Even action cartoons are like that. Anime series are shorter, usalyl 26, 13, or once in a whil 52. SOmtimes they ahve multiple seasons like Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Due to this they have an overall story, a beginning and end. The characters usually develop over this time, you really get a feel for them. I liekt he animations better than American cartoons, they tend to look mroe human even with giant eyes and strange hair. The opening themes are much better in my opinion.
Please keep in mind that I am talking about uncut and unedited anime, like on domestic DVDs like Vandread, Strawberry Eggs, Slayers,and Full Metal Panic!

Hey Arnold, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Rugrats, Powerpuff Girls, what do these 4 cartoons have in common? They all feature the format of 2 adventures per episode in 1 30-minute broadcast, rarely do these shows have one whole 30-minute episode. Yes, time almost never passes and the stories are almost never connected but they have *gasp* Character development.

I agree greatly with Mr.Wiggles and Latias Dita. cartoons and anime are 2 completely different things. I like watching Pokemon, FullMetal Alchemist, and Sailor Moon. (Too bad Sailor Moon was cancelled.)

I like Spongebob ( please don't say "I'm stupid" for enjoying it. ) I hate the Fairly Odd Parents. It killed off Invader Zim! Oh, and I also like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That show is da bomb. I like Kirby: Right back at ya! just cause it's Kirby. I'm a guy, too. It's rare that you'll find a guy that likes a pink marshmellow that transforms when he eats something.

I'm a guy too, and Kirby is my favorite game series except for Mario! I've never seen the show, though, and I don't know if I'd like it.
Ever notice how the name "Playstation" sounds more kiddy than "Gamecube" or "Nintendo 64"?
-
When did I say I was stupid? I just didn't want people to hate me cause I like Spongebob. Please, I don't want to fight.
P.S: I forgot to mention, that I like Sonic X. That show is fun to watch.

Uhhh, why do you think I was going to start a fight?
I was pointing out that you said the phrase "I'm stupid", so I didn't have to. It was an attempt at making a joke.

Sorry dude, I misunderstood. Again, sorry for the trouble. Didn't know it was a joke. 0_o

"I agree greatly with Mr.Wiggles and Latias Dita. cartoons and anime are 2 completely different things"
--I'm glad someone does ^_^!
"I like watching Pokemon, FullMetal Alchemist, and Sailor Moon. (Too bad Sailor Moon was cancelled.)"
--Hey if you can afford it, watch anime only on DVD! They had one more season to go with Sailor Moon but Japan wouldn't let the US dub it. They were afraid it would ruin Sailor Moon's "kid-friendly" image. Geez, it's been four years since SM was on TV. I think all the little kids that watched it either forgot or learned of what it was like originally!
