Scary or Funny

 My oldest memory of a cartoon in the TV is  the “Looney Tunes”& “Tom & Jerry” , yes there were countless other kid shows  at that time , but I’m more fonded of the comedy cartoons  along with the scary ones like “Scooby-Doo” or  “Courage the Cowardly Dog”, yes we had cable until 2003. As I grew up , the free time was less and also the signal was bad where I lived (this was around  2003-2006 ),  there where only 2 Tv Chanels : The 4 &13. The 13 had cartoons in the evening (The simpsons and Futurama), the 4 had cartoons only in the morning while I was in school. Time pased and we moved to Santiago(the cable returned) and I start watching some series like “ Supernatural & How I met your mother”(the first one ended after 15  years  not so long ago its currently in HBO MAX). Just recently I started “re-watching” old series that I didn’t like that much when I was more young, like “31 minutes”  or “Samurai Jack” , this time I could apreciate it better and I felt ashamed  for that, a good friend tought me how value old shows and series : the trick is to be aware of the production context and the limitations they had at the time, that’s how  I meet “The Office” & “Scrubs” I love those shows (this without considering that they are goldmines of memes )

  2. I have seen very few of the series you mentioned, but I find them interesting, I will write them in my "watch later" notes.

  3. I used to watch Looney Tunes very often and I like it too much, so much so that I named a kitten I had "Silvestre", which was very similar to that character.
