I remember when the word 'Ninja' was obviously too offensive and was replaced with "Hero" for the British audience. I never understood that.

That's all I can think of. Probably more though.
 
Tv stations used to use cartoons as fillers between programs e.g. Tom and Jerry, Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester and Tweety Pie, etc, but now the Tv ises more adverts, more revenue. Cartoons have been moved to the dedicated Cartoon channel, etc which is a pity!

Some great cartoons, but unfortunately I do think a lot of rose tinted glasses is involved.
I bought a few series of Transformers a few years back when it came out on DVD, cringe worthy stuff 1/2 the time :(.

There are a few good cartoons on at the moment, Regular Show, Adventure Time and The Amazing World of Gumball all tick the right boxes for me.
Archer and Venture Bros. if your looking for something more adult themed.
