Considering there are so many hidden innuendos, references, and dirty jokes in a lot of old shows I used to watch as a kid, and I would just completely take the show and watch it as (an example) a cat and a dog attached together doing some crazy stuff. Some of the situations broken down now, are pretty f'ed up, but you don't analyze that type of stuff when you are a kid, so they can get away with slipping some adult humor and situations, assuming that only kids will watch it. Shows like Family Guy, South Park, The Simpsons, Archer, Brickleberry, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force etc. appeal to children because they are animated, is the intention for kids? Probably not, but can you stop them from watching? As an adult watching these shows, you have more knowledge and experience so you can relate to more of the show. I'm only talking about from a comedic and situational aspect. The great thing about animation is that it breaks all boundaries and can be extended to the likings of anyone, what you get from watching is whether or not you can dismiss the fact that you are watching an animation, can you let yourself enjoy it.
