Batman the animates series.

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.

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.

Hey Arnold!

Teen Titans, everything just clicks with that show

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Old Warner cartoons, notably road runner.

World Premiere toons on cartoon network.

Just end nineties cartoon network, that was the best.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Road Runner, Tom & Jerry, Wacky Races... I'll still watch them if I stumble upon them.

Meep meep beats Acme Inc every time.

That bird probably owns stock in acme lol

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'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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

All 52 episodes are definitely worth it, you might say it's an anime hybrid between Spongebob, TMNT, and MMPR that predates them all.

Good news everyone!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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!!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Sad this has been up for hours with no mention of the best kids cartoon ever, Scooby Doo

Transformers was pretty great

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (3 children)

If you are GenX, you might remember the cartoon between the cartoons.

Schoolhouse Rock was catchy and educational.

I miss Gargoyles. I loved having Diana Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes back together again.

obviously spongebob. also phineas and ferb

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I was also obsessed with ninja turtles (who wasn't) but for pure nostalgia Astro Boy is probably the first cartoon I can remember watching and Voltron the first I was proper obsessed with.

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.
