Favorite Old School cartoons?

BTown · 09-25-2009, 09:51 PM

Lame thread topic, but it's late and there's not much else to do.

Old school cartoons for my era are stuff from the 90's like "Doug", "Angry Beavers", and "Hey Arnold"

I'm curious as to see what you guys watched growing up.

This may get moved to the Media forum, but:

I grew up with X-Men, TMNT, etc...
But I do love some of the later stuff.

The shows I listed are those I think have held up the best over time.

Other shows like Captain Panet, Captan N, Super Maio Bros Super Show are shows I loved as a kid but are just laughably awful when I try to watch them now.

I could never watch Captain N when eating though, because the very sight of Mother Brain made me ill. That bitch was ugly.

Anyway, I only listed the shows from my early childhood (before my teens).

Hey Arnold was a good show. But that was around the time when I grew out of the Nick phase. I enjoyed watching it, but it was one of those shows that always had a message, which annoyed me even when I was a kid. Arnold kinda came across as a self righteous assh*le sometimes.

I gotta give props to Invader Zim though, one of the most brilliantly twisted and imaginative kids cartoons ever made, and it died way before it's time.

The fact that they canceled such an awesome show so they could keep showing that piece of sh*t Rocket Power is still something I haven't gotten over completely.

yeah, network execs aren't exactly the best at seeing artistic vision

what still pisses me off to this day is how Cartoon Network canceled Megas XLR after only two seasons

Not really cancelled. Krstic wanted to end the series so he could work on other projects, and I think the ending that we got is decent.

Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Dragonball Z, Batman Animated Series, and even though not necessarily a cartoon, the CGI Starship Troopers series.

All staples of my childhood.
