Jacky shan being the biggest for me, found almost all episodes and binged in a few days. I realized the show is actually very formulaic. Bad guys want to collect a number of artifacts, the good guys tries to collect them all before the bad guys and succeeded but then the bad guys get all the artifacts in the end and the good guys have to stop them. This was plot for season 1,3,4,5,6 and with 2 having the most episode but are all filler. I also watche 50 Code Lyoko but got bored, there almost 100 episodes

Obviously those shows weren't meant to be binged but even then they are repetitive, however with jacky shan i have nostalgia and its still special to me

Well… I was maybe 18-19 when Butthead and Butthead came out, and 22 when Southpark came out… I’m 49… and I still love them both and watch all of them. I’m not up to date in the Simpsons which DOES go back to when I was in high school. Family Guy was early college too. All of them reference life I knew growing up and yes I feel the nostalgia watching them.

For me to comment on cartoons of my youngest childhood… Scooby Doo… Smurfs? Those are absolutely formulatic. Nowhere near the plots that toed the line as more “modern” cartoons.

Now I’m thinking of all the Adult Swim shows and getting a little teary eyed. 🥹
