I actually feel; "101 Dalmatians The Series" has age pretty well. I mean, if you compare it to shows like say...Goof Troop, Quack Pack or Sonic Undrground or evn some Garfield Episodes, It stll hlds up today. Likely cause they didn' depend on the; "RADICL, DDE!" or "EXTRME!" slng, Force Culture and cases, that a number of Nineties Show tend to have. If there's anything that may show what Year the show is in, it's the use of Tapes...but even then, that's a minor thing and "Invasion Of The Puppy Snatchers" does claim; "101 Dalmatians The Series" is set in 1996. Like I mention though, compare to other Shows in the Nineties; "101 Dalmatians The Series" has actually age REALLY well! I think Trey or Race even has this claims, some posts before, that support how it has age REALLY well, But you get what I mean, Pups? ;3 I still argue that the series is dated. I mean, if you look at the technology the show has like the slide projectors. The computers are clearly 90's models (nobody uses floppy disks anymore). Nobody has smart phones or iPads, which is what all kids of this generation have. Not to mention the TV's are not flatscreen HD. Actually...come to think of it, why do the Dearly's have a TV set up in the barn anyway? Do Roger and Anita just happen to know the pups watch TV and that they'll spend a lot of time in the barn? Also, does that barn have outlets??? Though, bab does make a good point about the slang usage. The pups do say "cool" a lot in the show, but I can consider "cool" to be a timeless slang word. I seriously doubt a new generation of kids would care about this show, and I'm sure the people at Disney consider the series "out-dated" while I consider it "old school". I should be blessed to be in the small demographic who still cares about this series, and I'm glad I know others in that same demographic as well. Sometimes, I wish people like babclayman ruled the world, then we'd for sure have a DVD release and more to the series!

I seriously think 101 Dalmatians needs to take a page out of the simpsons book and make another movie and series. Also a video game. For popularity.

Sometimes, I wish people like babclayman ruled the world, then we'd for sure have a DVD release and more to the series! It's not merely a matter of the technology that is being used that results in a show being seen as "dated". If that was true than the original animated movie would be seen as such because the TV they watch is black and white! I will also agree with babclayman when he says 101 Dalmatians: the Series still seems to be timeless. The way the pups act still means something in this day and age; remember how the AVGN was reviewing the Sega CD and when he was playing Slam City with Scottie Pippen how he didn't have any idea about how to read the lingo that the actors were using? The pups don't use extreme mannerisms or bust out rapping or seem "TOTALLY RADICAL!" That's part of the reason why so many 80s cartoons are nostalgia-worthy; they never forgot about underlying heart and sincerity. You can't really say that about most of what was cool in the 90s because they were too busy pushing attitude. I remember watching some old episode of The Simpsons like "Lisa's Pony" where Homer is seen watching a home video made of baby Lisa to see what he's doing wrong. In the episode itself Homer is seen watching a VHS tape on a VCR. The fact he's using something obsolete doesn't mean it's dated; in fact it can be a new joke. Like a sign of the times in which it was made and a hint at a personality. There's nothing funny about playing Call of Duty, or watching movies on Netflix, or using the Internet to order pizza, or listening to music on an iPod. If you want an example of a dated reference, there was an episode of The Simpsons called "Lard of the Dance" when Lisa Kudrow guest-starred as an 8-year old girl named Alex. While Lisa introduces her to a bunch of the other girls in their school, there is a sequence where she pulls out a cell phone and everyone is impressed. Back in 1998 that was a big shock; not too many grade schoolers had a cell phone. However flash forward to 2008 and... is that STILL a big shock? You guys never thought that parents might want to make sure they know where their kids are? It makes Springfield seem passe. Or if you want it anymore obvious you could always watch a Seltzer/Friedberg movie. If they don't joke about anything where you're supposed to just recognize what they are satirizing then it's something that is as topical as putting on deodorant. You might want to keep a copy of People magazine's year-end round-up on hand in case you forgot about world-changing events like the time Brittany Spears shaved her head or what Sanjaya did to his hair on that one episode of American Idol.
