I don't think there is anything wrong about it. I don't watch cartoons, but I do like some of the animated movies that are supposed to be for "kids". I am far from a kid. I think watching cartoons can be part of your playful younger side.

No. The cerebellum is at the base of your brain. There is something wrong with mine. I tried all kinds of names and they were already in use so I picked something that kind of discribed me.

Do you get your user name from the mayor's assistant in Power Puff Girls?

Of course not! I watch it all the time with my kids. And sometimes I do laugh along with my kids when it's funny. I also like watching Barney and Friends (you know, the purple dinosaur).

Good greif! You like Barney and Friends, I thought everybody over two years old hated it! Last time I checked it wasn't a cartoon but I've never watched it.

It's not a cartoon, but it's a children's program. It just shows to say that even adults like me enjoy watching the program.

I still love watching Simpsons, although it's not really cartoon/animation for kids. It's more for family. There are different types of cartoon or animation - the ones that would entertain children, the ones in between, and the ones that are not appropriate for children's viewing. The last one is more prevalent in Japanimation or also known as Anime. Lots of time, if you have children, you would watch cartoon with them, including movies that suited for their age. I don't know how old you are, but generally there's nothing wrong with watching cartoon as long as it is appropriate.

It is not altogether inexcusable for adult to watch cartoon,when he just takes it as a hobby and doesn't neglect his study or work,and again, that is a indicative of his still preserving traces of childishness.

No way! As adults, we sometimes need something that doesn't require thinking, analyzing, or interpreting. Cartoons are a great way to relax the mind.

Its rather very creative to watch cartoons because they involve a lot of imgination and are not like the thinking pattern of the realworld.The new things are created from unresonable thoughts finally making them reassonable.Just dont get addicted .Its a sort of you controlling Yourself.

Well, I have watched many cartoons all my life. Some I find very funny and enjoyable and I am no youngster! I think one of my favorites it The Simpsons these days, although they have been around for quite some time. I know many adults who think this cartoon show is funny and enjoyable. I used to watch many others like The Flintstones when I was a kid, and there were others like Road Runner.. I enjoyed them all. I think it probably keeps us older folk young.. _Derek

No, there's nothing wrong with adults watching cartoons. Lots of grown adults watch cartoons. Me included. I also love kids movies and children's books, and I don't have any kids. I don't see how watching "adult" shows or reading "adult" books could make me a more mature person. I like children's entertainment. It's innocent, fun, and about a hundred times more imaginative. The way I see it, good entertainment is still good regardless of what age it was created for. I think the best entertainment everybody of all ages can enjoy.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Well of course if it is a hentai, it's a different story. Also, if you put too much time on the cartoon rather than other equally important stuff, it makes anyone freaking out. Or maybe it's not your sister's cup of tea.

Hi there! Of course there's nothing wrong with an adult watching cartoons. Unless you neglect your activities of daily living, job and other functions you should be doing, I think it's perfectly healthy to watch cartoons. Cartoons are a form of escapism and they are a breath of fresh air compared to the shows of today like reality shows, that's why a lot of adults also like to watch it.

No there isnt anything wrong with watching cartoons. As long as your not doing 22 hours a day. Its ok once and awhile to sit and watch something you enjoy, but dont revolve your whole life around it.

I don't see anything so repulsive in watching cartoons. In japan animations are categorized for viewers. A lot of the animes we see are actually for viewers 15 years old and above.

Actually, there's nothing wrong in watching cartoons. Your sister doesn't like you watching them anymore, because she wants you to watch those shows that could help you enhance your knowledge or perhaps those that are more or less appropriate for your age already.

No, it isn't wrong at all! I think adults should watch cartoons even more than children, as this would improve creativity and make many stressed people finally calm and relaxed. Keep watching everything you enjoy, and don't listen to your sister's scoldings - there's no specific age for being happy. Happy mylotting! :)

There is nothing wrong with an adult watching cartoons. Cartoons allow your imagination to run free. They also provide a bit of comedy relief. With all the programs that are on television now, cartoons are probably everyone's best bet at clean, fun entertainment.

No. I enjoy watching cartoons with my toddler son. It makes me appreciate the creativity of the people behind the production. For me it's a good way to relax from the "adult stuff" like work stress by watching and reminisce being a kid again.

I see nothing wrong in adults watching cartoon. I, myself, often watch cartoons, mostly when I am with my 3-year old nephew. Every time he watches some cartoon, I join watching with him. My husband enjoys cartoons even more than me - he downloads and watches every new cartoon movie that is released. I think that watching cartoons preserves some part of the kid in you, so it is wrong not to watch rather the opposite.
