SWAT Cats
Dexter's Lab
Ed Edd n Eddy
Tom and Jerry
Scooby Doo

Bonus: Kids Next Door

You know, it was hard thinking of the last one. They show so much crap on CN nowadays that I have forgotten the best and the classics.

These were the two I watched every week:
1. Ninja Turtles
2. Ghost busters

These others I saw once in a while. I really didn't get to watch TV much:

3. GI-Joe
4. HEMAN (I watch this now that I'm an adult.)
5. ThunderTHUNDERCATS!!! (I watch this now that I'm an adult.)

Yeah, Skeletor is a little b***h. HEMAN is cool to him sometimes and skeletor still acts p***y hurt for no discernable reason. ***k Skeletor. What the hell is his problem? I hate that show.

Grendel · Post by **Grendel** » Thu May 06, 2010 8:37 pm

I pretty much grew up w/o TV. However, my favorite series are: Rockos Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy and Pinky & The Brain. And then of course there are the '50 & '60s Disney shorts. And Tex Avery !

TigerRaptor · Post by **TigerRaptor** » Thu May 06, 2010 11:09 pm

Hanna-Barbera did put out a lot of good shows. Until they started releasing utter crap like Flintstone Kids and Yo Yogi.

roid · Post by **roid** » Fri May 07, 2010 5:01 am

AstroBoy (yeah the original... well english dubbed anyway. Actually the new one isn't too bad either)
City of Gold, i never knew wtf was going on in this show. But i'd always find myself watching it after preschool.

I think i saw every Warner Brothers cartoon ever made (You know with Buggs, Daffy, Road Runner, Fudd, Sylvester, etc) multiple times.

i never really enjoyed Hanna-Barbera's stuff (Yogi, Gorilla, the cat who always says \"exit stage left\", that ★■◆●ing cat)
It was all just like a really long advertisement to me :-/, Too Hollywood. Drop dead Hanna-Barbera.

Later on it i seem to remember enjoying Gummi Bears, Thundercats (Hooooo!), Rescue Rangers, Biker Mice from Mars (Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie Vinnie).
(i never knew what was going on in Transformers (original of course. Damn that Megatron really loved his energon cubes.), but i seem to remember watching it a lot. Beast wars was (is still?) terrible, ERASE IT FROM MEMORY).
I also have vague memories of watching dinoriders?
(I'm obviously the same generation as this guy, NSFW contains cartoon penis)
Hell, i have vague memories of a lot of things. Oh god i'm getting old. I'M NOT EVEN 30.

Now as an adult i seem to really like the old monochrome Felix the Cat films. They are really good! And the jazz music omg.

So yeah... screw your 5 cartoon limit, hehe.

flip · Post by **flip** » Fri May 07, 2010 5:21 am

Ultraman- Not a cartoon, but I used to get up early to watch this one.

G-Force- Probably my all time favorite.

Space Giants- Again not a cartoon but came on right after Ultraman. Loved it.

Of course all the Hanna Barbera stuff.

Firewheel · Post by **Firewheel** » Mon May 10, 2010 5:26 pm

I was born in 1988 and grew up in the 90s, so that should give you some reference. In no particular order:

Batman: The Animated Series
Rocko's Modern Life
Inspector Gadget
Tailspin
Aladdin Animated Series

I mostly watched Nick shows but don't like a whole lot of them in retrospect. Some of the old Disney shows were cool though. I never saw Gargoyles back in the day, but I did like the animated Mighty Ducks show... I think I'm the only one who remembers that!

Duper · Post by **Duper** » Mon May 10, 2010 6:56 pm
