I got to get up to speed on the what's what of Saturday morning cartoons. I can't believe some of the cartoons that entrap a 5-year-old mind. A show about a Brother and sister rabbit that go through the twist and turns of daily life, with one exception, the little brother rabbit is a half-wit. This is one dumb, dumb bunny. Any seemingly straightforward task is jumbled and turned into a calamity only for big sister to clean up the chaos.
Next was a cartoon about some super villain cheerleaders who are trying to run amuck in some futuristic city. Their fighting style is some ancient form of teen PMS cheerleader kick style. In the end the “good” cheerleaders win and some goofy four-eyed boy makes the cheerleading squad as head cheerleader because his competition is incarcerated for their indiscretions.
Next is a classic, Scooby Doo where super villains are trying to scare people. For some reason the team (who for the most part look quite capable and intelligent) continually pairs the two biggest screw-ups in the posse to try and solve whatever crime they are assigned to. But by some half assed coincidence these hapless morons manage to foil the rogues.
I miss Bugs Bunny, there was a certain genius behind an anvil crushing every cast member at one point or another in their series.
A theme seems to run constant throughout; boys are dumb, except for the good-looking one on Scooby. I guess that may be why I have such esteem problems…sigh; I don’t remember Saturday morning cartoons being so depressing.

My kids love the dumb bunnies.
It always amazes me that Rosie doesn't stab into Max's soft skull with her razor sharp chop-teeth and eat his gooey, though clearly undersized brain, out of sheer exasperation.
- deeps!
