Why adults can't watch cartoon

Quite recently i've had the opportunity to watch a few episodes of some of my childhood T.V. cartoons. As a kid, i really enjoyed watching those cartoon characters do fascinating and adventurous stuff but now as i tried to watch them (probably because there's a little kid in me wanting to see the world in a simpler perspective), what i found myself doing was thinking about how the stuff could be possible. Its not that somebody was going trying to do it in the real world but all of it seemed senseless.
I'd like to mention one of the cartoon serial, and its "Swat Katz". In that there are a couple of kats(cats), trying to save the city from some sort of danger. Every time there's some trouble, the kats ride out to the city in a jet. Now, what was going through my mind was that it was quite a costly proposition, and i was trying to do a feasibility study.
As kids, things used to much simpler, no fear, no worries, no idea about the complexities of the real world. NOW, i've started to blend into the clutter of the clumsy world but i do think that if only things would be simpler, life would have been much smoother.....
