What a Cartoon! and Oh! Yeah Cartoons we’re great back then on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. These anthologies gave us great shows. I would love to see more of these. Why is that seen more of these kind of shows?

Hi Tony - Great question! Cost and credits might be the biggest issue now.

We have Love, Death & Robots as a modern example. A major difference would be that those classic cartoons you're describing weren't actually meant to be pilot programs so much as compilations of shorts. Those cartoons were created to be viewed in that format. It just so happened that some of them were popular enough to garner demand for extended standalone series. So really that's the major hurdle. There's not really a profitable way to do shorts like that anymore with no plans for bigger things. Which I think is why you get anthology series like L,D,&R these days. It's the modernization of that concept with no real intention of multiple installments for a given work.
