Cartoons

I hate to admit it, but at 43 years old I still like watching cartoons.  It was great when the girls were younger, I just pretended to be watching along with them when truthfully, I was the one who wanted them on.  I won't bore you with the details of which ones I like, (Scooby Doo)  but I've always wondered why at my age I am still drawn to them.  I love the saturated colors of some animation, no I don't take drugs, but there is something more than that.  I think I am sucked into the innocence of them in a world that is anything but, they are a diversion.  I guess any  series or sitcoms could provide the same type of diversion, but what I think I like best about them is they are sort of one step removed from humanness. I love the sameness of the characters each episode, they even wear the same outfits, they are in effect, perfectly predictable.  I am sure there is more to it, I am an introverted dork which may explain some of my eccentricities, but I will keep watching them as long as I can get away with it.  Arthur, anyone?
