I was talking more about the 30's cartoon shorts than the films, but okay :3.
Anyway, I still don't think asking for a little bit of the older shows is a selfish thing that I am suggesting just for my own benefit. I honestly think some shows/shorts are very timeless (not just because I grew up with them, some of them were very old when I was born), and they seem to, from what I've learnt letting friends children watch my DVDs, stand the test of time very well.
It's a sad world if every single episode or short has to have a sponsor to even be shown for a half hour vs. a single episode of Spongebob that, even though it may be the best thing ever (and don't get me wrong I say this loving Spongebob), has been shown over and over again to the point of death where even the little ones have gotten bored of it and are playing outside (true story).
It would be selfish if we said that nothing but old shows should be shown (I don' think any one is really saying that besides maybe the topic starter), but I don't think it is selfish to want to raise children to be exposed to more series/cartoons and pick from a more varied line up. I'm just thinking of those families who can't afford the classic Nick channel or many DVDs...
For what it is worth, that is why I have a big collection, to *share* it with everyone
...
Where tv fails, people can help I guess...
All and all though, there are sillier things we could be worked up about. As far as talk on forums being selfish, it's not like it is actually going to seriously effect the line up. I am realistic, I know these things don't happen unless the people running the channel think there is a problem...
The funny thing is depending on who is running things they seem to see different things as a problem toward getting money, and fix things that don't need to get fixed, or try to follow a fad for the wrong reason and then wondering why it failed if they put it on at a weird time *lol*
They are their own brand of silly :3.
