    I tried to relive some of my childhood by downloading some older cartoons, like Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck. They are not as good as I remember :(

          This is, unfortunately, part of nostalgia itself. There’s a rare gem that is as good as you remember, but for the most part, your brain lies to you.

          This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t revisit things, just prepare your expectations.

          You gotta find the right setting first. Like sitting crisscross at the coffee table eating a bowl of Cookie Crisp or Rice Crispes Treats cereal, that your mom just brought you. You have no bills, no responsibilities (except that 3rd grade spelling test coming up), and no concept of the evils of the world. You are pure and innocent and completely engrossed in Batman catching the bad guy of the week.
          Hmmm, yeah i think i see the problem…

      I rewatched some Tiny Toons episodes a while back, and thought that overall they held up well, ignoring the dated references. Animaniacs held up better, but the references still show their age.
