They're just caricatures now. Perhaps I'm silly for wanting a CARTOON to have an emotional core- but I'm not alone in being aggravated with it.
I mean, sure, it's still FUNNY- it's just lost a lot of the intelligence that used to make it what it is, now it's all buffoon-ish.

about how most US created animation no longer has any character's with an emotional base.
I like character's that are developed instead of being one-dimensional, Which to an extent has happened with the Simpson's (One of the main reason's I lost interest in the show about 4 years ago) and many other American animated shows.
I like how Japanese animators develop a character within a short time frame (Most animes run about 24-26 episodes in length) that you can relate to and cheer for...Instead of growing bored with.
Maybe my opinion has to do with that I grew up in a household full of comic book readers and how I long for American animation to develop the characters in the same fashion as comic book writers do.

ps-I remember being a Senior in high school when the Simpson's first premiered...And how it was very refreshing (I still occassionally watch older episodes...) compared to anything else on TV at the time, And how my Mom customized my Bart Simpson's "Eat My Shorts" t-shirt to say "Eat **** M.F.'s"
