Are old cartoon shows really more violent than our current cartoons?

Such as Loony Toons, I liked the shows (when they still showed them on TV), but notice all the cartoony violence. Especially with Wile-e-coyete and the road runner. By the way the road runner says meep meep, not beep beep.

I'm not against it.

Yes! Cartoons as early as the 40's are so violent.

Look at Tom and Jerry.

Butcher knives, rifles, shotguns, mousetraps, falling pianos, dynamites in teeth, cutting off tails (shudder) and everything else!

How about the Loony Tunes?

Who could forget the TNT gags? The Elmer Fudd and "Wabbit" season gunshots? The Duck Huntings? The Falling of a cliff of Wile E. Coyote? The ACME products that brought numerous body-breaking injuries to (again) Wile E. Coyote?

I'm not saying they're not funny. In fact, they're the best cartoons and nothings going to change that for me.

south park is violent at times

older cartoons... ren and stimpy
Not really.
No...

Actually it's the inverse...

Today's cartoons like The Simpsons, Family Guy, And South Park that are really violent...
They are no more violent, but today's kids are slightly more easily led by cartoons and computer games than previous generations.
And yet current cartoons have more mystical elements, and stuff that's more borderline Satanic...
no
yes older cartoons are MORE violent....esp loony toons. south park, family guy, simpsons, etc dont count because theyre ADULT cartoons. cartoons for kids today seem to be much less violent.
i dont agree with that..i think cartoon shows now are more violent than the cartoon shows i used to watch before when i was a lot more younger...
i've seen some really good cartoons
You haven't watched any current cartoons have you? Check some out..then get back w' us and i'm not talking about just the jap anime or the more adult based ones such as south park..i'm talking regular Nickelodeon cartoons. No..the old cartoons were a kinder gentler time of anvils on roadrunners. I prefer that my kids watch them than alot of the new stuff.
They were violent, but most cartoons now are more gruesome violent. You didn't actually see the brains and the blood and the guts.
