I remember in my Grade 10 English class, we were to write on a variety of topics, and both cartoon shows and movies were on that list. As far as I know, nearly all my classmates chose those two, although all different works of fiction.
Liking the references. And in Tina’s defense, I found Ruff and Reddy, and Pixie and Dixie to be pretty funny as well, along with a good chunk of Hanna-Barbera’s material. Comes with growing up with the Boomerang channel on Dish Network.
I lived my childhood in the 2000’s, and even I was familiar with the cartoons that Tina is referring to. While The Simpsons may be more culturally significant than “Ruff and Reddy” or “Pixie and Dixie”, there’s no denying the impact the works of Hanna-Barbera had on a lot of childhoods.
I think Joel knows more about music then he does about counter-culture cartoons. Rocky and Bullwinkle were what the Simpsons are to him, first.
On the one hand, The Flintstones would have been a better attempt at Tina being as culturally relevant to her own generation as Joel is to his.
On the other hand, The Flintstones was pretty adult early on and the later H-B fare would have been more up Tina’s alley anyway.
Well, Joel, it’s like that old saying: “You gotta know where ya been to know where ya going.”

Nothing quite like the old-school H-B toons, really. I remember watching Magilla Gorilla every day before going to kindergarten.
Just wait a few years, Tina, and you’ll see Pixie and/or Dixie’s big comeback……… sorta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AawPl0ya5bk

I would do the exact same thing as Joel. It would even be The Simpsons.
