Know what? That he has voice talent? I would probably just say whoever does Chris' voice makes it pretty hilarious anyway. I think TotallyUsagi meant that you wouldn't be able to know Chris is voiced by Seth Green unless someone told you. I can hear a little bit of him in Chris's voice, but if I didn't know better already I wouldn't have guessed it was Seth Green doing his voice. Of course, if you've ever heard him say "Stoopid monkey!" at the end of every Robot Chicken episode, you can easily figure out "hey, that's the guy who does Chris Griffin's voice!" Ah, I see. The fact that Seth Green can make a voice distinct from his own is very impressive. If we're talking about Mark Hamill's version of the Joker... man, he's in a league of his own with that.

He's better as a voice than as an actor! XD Search Google, or IMDb: you'll find out that he has worked a LOT. Stakanov was nothing compared to him

Ugh I can't stand 90% of the current cartoons out now. But, there are a few that I enjoy. I looove courage the cowardly dog. lol. And I like the early eps of Dexter's lab. And I still watch powerfull girls if they're on when I'm flipping through. That's about it though.

I really enjoy allot of the 80's shows! I adore my little pony in a way that scare my friends *makes a creepy smile and cocks head* My little pony tales was a wonderful show too.. I was NEVER around when either of them were on, but I enjoy collecting them still and watching episodes on youtube. OMG TINS you're right. The voice acting is horrible half the time. in the fairly odd parents, It sounds like they are always screaming (no offense fairly odd parents lovers.)

I agree with you 100 %,V-Chan.In the 1950s through the 1980s,kids got really good quality programming such as "Bugalooos","Captain Kangaroo","Tennessee Tuxedo" and "The Wuzzles". By the 1990s,kids' programming started going downhill a little with garbage like the animated "BeetleJuice" and "Real Ghostbusters Extreme",but the programming was still going strong with shows like "Sailor Moon","Ronin Warriors","Yo Yogi" and "Pirates of Dark Waters". In 2000 -2006,kids' programming started to slide downhill even further with trash like "Doug","Fairly OddParents","Rugrats All Growed Up",etc.Shows like "PowerPuff Girls" and "Dexter's Lab" showed quality in the beginning,but quickly slid into the "stupid and gross plots" category. In 2007 and this year,kids' programming completely died,replaced with sheer stupidity such as " Chowder" and "Billy and Mandy". Kids no longer get to enjoy the exciting adventures of "She-Ra",or funny humour like "Go-Go Gophers";instead,they have to watch meaningless shows like "Ed Edd and Eddy".....the only good quality programming kids have these days are "Pokemon","Totally Spies",the Disney character cartoons,"The Proud Family" and "Kim Possible". Kids shows these days are getting boring and boring than before, Ill stick with the awsome 90's anime such as Sailor Moon, Pokemon etc. and the very early 21st century cartoon and anime shows. I really DONT like most shows. When I go to the Philippines and watch cartoons on cable I just either wait for my fave shows to come up or just watch any random show I find pretty good. Cartoon network stinks, I HATE almost every single show shown there, except for PPG and the Anime shows shown on CN. Thats why I dont watch CN that often when Im on Holidays. Nick is not that bad there are a few shows that are not good. I like a few of the Spongebob, fairly odd parents and Danny Phantom eps. As well as a few other Nick shows, which I wont mention. Disney channel is the one I frequently watch, though I dont like Lilo and Stich, the weekenders and some cartoons on disney that arent of my interest Before my love for Sailor Moon I used to (and slightly still) loved the three French anime shows 'Totally Spies' 'Martin Mystery & "Team Galaxy'. They were pretty popular, though some people dont like it.

I hate all of the cartoons on Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel and Cartoon Network now. Everything was so good in the '90s. D:

Personally I think kids TV has become worse. I don't want anyone to release the dragon ever again because I hate it.... mainly because anime is better but I do like Fairly Odd Parents and Avatar but nothing 3d like Dragon Booster or Storm Breakers.

I've started watching some older cartoons from the 80's and one of the biggest things I realized was they were less racist. Like in the cartoons now, if there is anyone from a different country they have to dress stupid, talk stupid and act stupid.

I was talking about this same subject with my mom the other day! She brought up a good point that deep down we're all biased towards are childhood cartoons. My parents thought the cartoons I watched when I was younger were worse than the ones they watched in their childhoods. Now I think most cartoons kids watch nowadays are horrible and in another ten years those same kids, who will then be older, will probably think the cartoons of the future are worse than what they watched.
It makes sense to me, but I still find it annoying that most kid oriented show now are relying on the gross out factor. The only cartoons I like to watch are Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Phineas & Ferb(<-actually, I admit that I love this one to pieces...)

Like in the cartoons now, if there is anyone from a different country they have to dress stupid, talk stupid and act stupid. I've noticed that too. For example, even though I enjoyed Class of 3000, it bothered me that the blonde-haired southern girl (Madison, I think?) was made out to be a ditzy idiot. Maybe it's just because I'm a blonde girl with a southern accent too, but I didn't like how she was made to be the token dumb kid. Then there's your sassy black girl, your smart Asians, etc. Everyone fell into a stereotype, and that was the main thing that bugged me. Kids of different races in cartoons today are made to be too PC or borderline silly. At least it's not along the lines of old Looney Tunes or Disney cartoons. I watched the Aristocats for the first time in a few years the other day, and I never realized until now how racist the Siamese cat was. Same goes for Lady and the Tramp.

AristoCats and Lady & The Tramp were made way back in the 50s and 60s when racism wasn't such a big issue. The problem with people today is that they're way to eager to go around crying" Disney cartoons are racist!" without bothering to also provide people with facts about how the cartoons were back in the 20s-70s. Because of that,some people believe what these people say and tell others that "Disney is racist",and those people tell others,and so on and so on while the facts about these cartoons remain unspoken of. People need to get a grip on themselves,and they need to learn the facts before going around crying "racism!" This is what happened to great old cartoons like Song of the South-it was banned because people kept going around crying "Song of the South" is racist!" People go around crying the same thing about characters like the crows from "Dumbo" and the hyenas from "Lion King".Did you know the leader of the crows was voiced by a WHITE man? and that one of the hyenas was also voiced by a WHITE man? Very few people know these facts because the ones crying "racist" don't bother to look up facts and educate people.

Yeah, I have noticed that in cartoons you always have your nerdy black kid, your smart asian kid, your white bully etc.
