I have to disagree, not all of the cartoons today are bad.
The kids watch one called Chowder, where all of the characters are named after food; Gazpacho, Truffles, etc. It grosses me out once in awhile (bodily functions), but for the most part it is cute. There are some others that they watch that are funny also. Some that I find are very annoying but for the most part they aren't bad at all. They don't seem to like the Japanese cartoons, so I am thankful for that.
