I can't agree more, There's just a certain magic with the older seasons that the newer seasons just don't capture
Now I'll say this right now before going into a wall of text, the modern cgi incarnation is not bad (In fact, it's been pretty great as of S17) and compared to a lot of computer modernizations like it, it still at least kept faithful to the original style and characters and in some cases, expand upon it due to not having the technical limitations that models engines and sets bring. (Unlike poor Bob the Builder) but I can't deny that there was definitely something lost in the process. which is like you said, that "raw organic quality". the fact that Britt and her team took hours on end, painstakingly recreating the original awdry characters and locations is very extremely impressive and is sadly not something that you can see nowadays.
And the fact that these models are actually real and actually did the stuff you see on television only makes it more magical and that alone combined with the fact that you can actually see them in action
and the fact that the characters themselves were actually based off of real life steam engines just gives the classic series a certain and unique magic that no amount of great CGI can capture.
And combine the above with a fucking legendary soundtrack by Campbell and O'Donnell (Seriously it has no right to be as good as it is.)
and the storybook format with narration by Ringo Star and George Carlin and you have a very magical TV show that's unlike really anything else.
One that can truly captures the imagination.
Sorry for the wall of text BTW
And yes they still make hand painted metal models.
But they're in a much different form then they use to be and plastic has become a much bigger thing now compared to the days of old. but yes, they still do them at least.
I really like me some Spongebob though i hardly talk about in recent years since around season 6 or so it was widely considered to have turned to crap. Though now i'm willing to be more open about it since ever since Sponge out of Water people like it again due to good ol' Hillenburg returning.
Well you'd really enjoy Sponge out of Water and Se 9 Ep22 on wards since Hillenburg returned so the excellent writing from the old days is back. whether or not you like the new art style its up to you. I think the HD quality and revised intro aren't as good as the old ones but the stories and jokes are as great as ever.As with Mythbusters, I still like Spongebob even though I'm not following the series anymore. The old episodes, especially those made before the first movie have a certain sense of humour and charm that somehow got lost over time.

For every soft and cuddly thing I like, there's a hard, gnarly whatnot waiting just around the corner.
Darn it i wasn't paying much attention to the thread to notice but since you bring it up i'll redeem myself.I'm sure glad the 3rd Wario Bro isn't around to make a lewd innuendo out of this. I do set myself up pretty easily, don't I? Heheheheheheh...
This very much reminds me of all those doujins of my favourite characters. One second i think i'm reading a fanfic of some kawaii moe characters then suddenly i see a huge pingas from out of nowhere. Saw a Kana Kamui hentai once and boy did i have to bleach my eyes after that.For every soft and cuddly thing I like, there's a hard, gnarly whatnot waiting just around the corner.
I enjoy watching star trek. My mom and a friend of mine are big fans, and I enjoy it too. But its another one of those shows I keep quiet about. I'm not into the kinda image people think of when they think of like star trek fans. Like I feel like it's a show the fanbase takes too seriously, and consider themselves like deep intellectual types because they like the show. Kinda like radiohead fans. Like yeah the show sometimes gets into some sciency stuff that only someone who really has an interest in such things will understand, but you don't HAVE to understand such things to enjoy the show. Its completely possible for someone not all that interested in science and technology to enjoy the show. I wouldnt wanna be pumped intothat category of people, the kind that take themselves too seriously and all that, its just an interesting show.

My job here is now done
Also kanna fucking sucks, pick a better girl like big tits lucoa.
If i thought it was nice i wouldn't have needed eye bleaching, next time i'll be sure to opt for best grill Elma.
Always be prepared for the pingae.pingas

Funny some one said Star Trek in fact a friend of mines was talking to me about it, and I've been very interested in getting into it. The series with Captain Picard seems to have a lot of neat character development as well which is what really got me interested. Not sure if you'd be ok with saying more about Star Trek I'm still just beginning atm but I am interested as well, in all honesty when it comes to " fandoms " or what you like it's better to just well stick to what you like and it doesn't really matter what anyone says since that kind of assumption doesn't really amount to much.
