Batman the animates series.
The Power Puff Girls
The old Tom & Jerry Cartoons. Even my kids are disappointed when they start watching Tom & Jerry and then notice that it's the new stuff. Same with Looney Tunes.
Thundercats
Bugs bunny. Alternate, Gummi Bears, with points for best theme song.
Bouncing here and there and everywhere!
Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes. Hands down.
Invader Zim. Haven't watched it in years but I still quote it.
Where in the world is Carman Sandiego
Courage the cowardly dog
The flintstones
Courage still haunts my nightmares to this day. Excellent show.
Hey Arnold!
That show definitely deserved to go on for longer than it did. Absolutely amazing show with an amazing theme song.
Absolutely love the episode where they introduce the metallikats and throughout the episode they occasionally fight like the married couple I think they were.
Teen Titans, everything just clicks with that show
As a kid, Ghostbusters and inspector gadget were my jam. I had the toys, they were so cool.
As a teen, I loved Freakazoid and Animaniacs.
As a young adult, Dexter's lab and Johnny Bravo.
Lately I've been rewatching the old Alf animated series from the late 80s. It was a lot weirder than the live action show and it took place on Alf's home planet! There was almost no trace of it anywhere until recently it popped up on one of those free streaming channels! I was starting to think I'd just dreamed it lol
I still get the theme song from it stuck in my head from time to time, and I haven't seen it since it originally aired.
Harvey Birdman (and also, when he became an attorney at law).
I'm not sure how I've managed to have never heard of this before but now I feel like I have to watch every episode lol
All 52 episodes are definitely worth it, you might say it's an anime hybrid between Spongebob, TMNT, and MMPR that predates them all.
G. I. Joe. It's so bad at times that it's good
Sad this has been up for hours with no mention of the best kids cartoon ever, Scooby Doo
Futurama
Good news everyone!
If you are GenX, you might remember the cartoon between the cartoons.
Schoolhouse Rock was catchy and educational.
1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11-12. 12!
I'm just a bill
And I'm sittin here on Capitol Hill
Batman, the animated series. Sometimes I'd get home in time to watch it and I was always really excited when I realized that it was on. From my younger years then it's definitely Thundercats. Thundercats. Thundercats! HOOOO!!!
I miss Gargoyles. I loved having Diana Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes back together again.
obviously spongebob. also phineas and ferb
Does Ivor the Engine count as a cartoon? Animation, certainly, but I'm not sure about 'cartoon' as such.
Anyway, it is the 1975 version for me.
Definitely teenage mutant ninja turtles. But also biker mice from mars and the mighty ducks animated series. Also does anyone remeber the bionic six cartoon? I don't remember if it was good or bad, i just remember seeing it one morning and i had to write down the name to tell my friend because i was so blown away by it.
Franklin
I don't know how obsessed I was as a kid, but I had a Franklin domino set and one of the PC edutainment games that I absolutely loved a lot. Don't recall much else about how much I watched it, though. It's a series I got re-obsessed with a couple years ago.
I recently got the "Hey, It's Franklin!" CD I didn't know existed back then and I absolutely LOVE it despite the majority of the songs being pretty childish. Absolutely love track 2 "What I Do In The Morning", alongside track 5 and 6 "Hello" and "Friends". Only song on the CD I don't like is track 15 "Rainforest Song".
Some day I am going to look up the domino set and buy it for nostalgia and for my love of the show.
Be 10 original - ultimate alien
I still regularly think about the old Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. The more anime one with an overarching storyline, not the episodic Looney Tunes kinda one (though I did also like that one for the comedy). I haven't watched it in years. I'm not sure how to find it, either. Did it have a subtitle or something? It was the one with Sally Acorn, Bunny Rabbot, and Boomer. I only remember those characters in that specific show so hopefully that narrows it down.
Ulysses 31 was a space travel cartoon with Greek theming.
It was a International-Japanese production and had one of the most kick-ass theme songs ever.
Starblazers episodes used to air randomly on one of the local UHF channels when I was around 11 years old. For some reason I remembered it recently, and some quick online searching found that it was an edited and English dubbed version of Space Battleship Yamato. Binge watched the original subtitled episodes. It was nostalgic seeing the characters that I remembered from decades ago, but good to see the entire uncut story all the way to its end.
I have nostalgia for my late-teens early 20s cartoon consumption. I was still watching Batman:TAS and the 90s Spider-Man series. There were flashes of high-intensity (if not well told) brilliance from the 90s Real Adventures of Jonny Quest series. I have to admit, the CGI they used was not as well executed as Reboot. Darkwing Duck, Peter Pan and the Pirates, and Gargoyles were shows what I looked back on fondly.
Daria, Clone High, and Ren and Stimpy all made an impact on me as a young adult. Daria, for its sardonic, anti-establishment stance. Clone High for its mockery of sitcoms and rom-coms and teen angst. Ren and Stimpy for pushing everything past its limit.
In the end, though, it was Samurai Jack and 90s X-Men that stood head and shoulders above them all. X-Men because it was what I collected and knew the best. Samurai Jack because it was cinematic, well- paced, and offered me something that no other TV show, movie, cartoon series, or comic book did or could: "... [a] fool [who] seeks to return to the past to undo the future that is Aku!"
