A Huge Problem With Most Adult Cartoons

[SweetShop209]

Lack of variety is also a problem. With a few exceptions, most adult cartoons are comedies, even the really good ones. Comedy is a good genre that deserves more attention, but when you look at kids' cartoons, they have other types of cartoons besides comedy.

Few exceptions in kids' cartoons as well and I might be able to argue proportional equivalency since there are so many aimed at kids compared to animation aimed at adults. Any more attention to the comedy genre and the industry will be nothing but.
Heck, the average joe already conflates animation as a genre akin to comedy.

yeah but look at most non-preschool kids' cartoons

what are they?

comedy of course!

there are VERY few exceptions to this

the REAL diversity with kids' cartoons is found in pre-school shows

you have comedy, drama, action, adventure, etc

where are all the adventure-themed cartoons for older kids?

THAT is as much of a problem as the lack of diversity with adult cartoons!

older kids shouldn't have to be stuck with comedy as their primary genre

Whether they would count or not, Steven Universe is the only show you mentioned that's actually rated TV-PG.

I think King of the Hill could qualify
