It was better than the Early Gen Z/Zoomer Era (2006-2010). Those were dark times for animation.

Beutifully drawn, funny and colouirful. Is this what you mean?
Gavin Torres
That cartoon was worse than Paul's solo career.

Also, Memory Almost Full would have been very solid if not for the terrible mastering
Benjamin Hughes
Looks pretty cool actually. I like the designs.

This show has lots of amusing wordplay and entertaining voice work. That on top of it being rather batshit insane with its premises and taking the piss out of it, this is actually a pretty funny show.

Clutch Cargo was the stuff of nightmares.
And whenever I see people bitching about mordern cartoons being the worst, it is my go to proof how wrong they are.
Because no matter how bad things get, they don't get Clutch Cargo bad.

Why did cartoons begin to suck after transitioning from theaters to TV?

boomers be like:
OLD CARTOONS HAD SOUL AND WERENT MADE ON COMPUTERS AND WERE BETTER ANIMATED THAN TODAY'S CARTOONS
Yeah okay retard

Budget, probably.
They were only worth whatever advertisers would pay for the commercial timeslots, and even then the budget was below that to make a good profit.
So they went for zero costs.

That was pretty good. If anything, Scooby Doo and Archie were bad for dragging out the episode for a full 22 minutes.
It doesn't drag on like the Hanna Barbera Cartoons, therefore doesn't feel repetitive.

CLUTCH CARGO IS A BELOVED CULT CLASSIC!
YOU TAKE THAT BACK THEN GO AND STAY GO!

TV at the time had a smaller screen than theatres. Smaller screen means less budget.
There's also external factors like MGM also going Bankrupt.

TV was originally a very rough industry and revenues were pretty low in general. Theatrical shorts were also often run as reruns on TV, which only cost the rights to distribute, and were high quality already. There were a lot of early attempts to make an actually profitable TV cartoon, but they were extremely primitive and shoddy as all fuck, often reusing still frames of "animation" and recording all the lines in one go, leaving in errors.
Crusader Rabbit was the first TV cartoon to actually have any semblance of quality, and that was basically just a narrated slideshow, but it stood out above the rest of the TV animation crowd throughout pretty much the entirety of the 50s. The next show to make a notable step forward was Rocky and Bullwinkle, which premiered pretty much right as Crusader Rabbit ended. Even though it's still primitive by a lot of today's standards, it was such a huge step up it basically exploded in popularity overnight.
By the 1960s, they had started to really get a hang of production, and TV was becoming much more profitable. TV animation was constantly improving through that decade, and were it not for a combination of Hanna Barbera dominating the industry and the economy going to hell in a handbasket, the 70s might have actually seen a dramatic improvement in TV animation. Instead things basically went back to 50s-style cheapness, and didn't really get back on track again until the mid-80s.

Any enjoyment for Clutch is just irony, to laugh AT.
If you straight face reviewed it, you'd call it out as the cheapest thing ever with the laziest style and ridiculous voiceacting.
Evan Bailey
Yeah, it's a cargo cult classic!
