What is/was your favorite cartoon growing up?

Can be anything from anime to stuff with real people.

Mine would be Tom&Jerry the classic one from cartoon network (when it was still awesome) so many fond memories!

@Iszdope: Thats a book, not a cartoon Isz...

• Batman: The Animated Series
• Freakazoid
• Looney Tunes
• Tom & Jerry
• Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
• Dexter the Laboratory
• Johnny Bravo
• The Simpsons
• Gargoyles
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Recess
• Scooby Doo (all 100 variations, except the stupid Scrappy one)
• Thundercats
• The Flinstones
• The Jetsons
• Captain Planet and the Planeteers
• X-Men (90's)
• Spider Man (90's)
• The Magic School Bus

Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Oh and maybe Justice League too.

@johnd13: Which gen of Pokémon?

@Iszdope: damn you're right...

@dylandr: 1 and 2 were my favorite. 3 was ok. Next ones couldn't compete imo.

@johnd13: Brock OP, "Look, i turned my frying pan into a drying pan!"

At the latter part, when you out grow the (new) cartoons and start to find then unfunny and stupid I still got into:

• The Fairly OddParents
• Kim Possible
• The Emperor's New School

All had that silly type comedy that I can appreciate.

@dylandr: Brock's crushes on various girls was so funny back in the day. :)

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

The Powerpuff Girls

Courage the Cowardly Dog

The Powerpuff Girls

Scooby Doo

Ed Edd n' Eddy

The Powerpuff Girls

Samurai Jack

Rurouni Kenshin

Kids Next Door

The Powerpuff Girls

Dexter's Laboratory

I'm sure there's more.

@gamerguru100: I see you're also a Cartoon Network kid :)

@johnd13: And such a real thing xD (in his defence some were hawt right? xD)

• Looney Tunes
• Tom&Jerry
• Digimon (seriously it had an actual plot and threat and the protagonists ultimately had agency. It's much better than Pokemon)
• Avatar: The Last Airbender (And it's still my favourite)

Nobody liked Scrappy. The little shit.

Yup. I freaking loved CN up until the mid-2000s. Stopped watching after that. :(

@gamerguru100: It went down hill :L i believe they even cancelt Johnny Bravo now :c

Tom and Jerry

Ducktales

Talespin

Batman The Animated series

Johny Bravo

@dylandr: Some anime girls are curiously attractive. In a weird but not so hentai way. :P

Star Blazers. In fact, when I resume scale models as a hobby, I'll start with various Star Blazers warships.

@johnd13: I remember Brock. He was one horny motherfucker. I was also turned on by Misty's legs. O_O I'm surprised Brock never was.

@ianhh6 I remember that little fucker. The only thing he's missing is a trench coat and a Tommy Gun. :P

Jesus Christ, it's like the show is trying to destroy itself.

@gamerguru100: I believe Dexters laboratory, the PPG and Tom and Jerry are the last :p

Nooooo, it's CN's last days.

@gamerguru100: Just like Nickelodeon it is going down hill with every missing braincell of the new generation :p

Are we all sure they're actually declining in quality, and were not just getting older and seeing the old cartoons from a nostalgic point of view? I mean it's entirely possible that they genuinely are getting worse, but I also think it's possible we've just grown out of most of the silly shit that happens in them.

I wouldn't know, because the only recent cartoon I've watched is Over the Garden Wall which, by the way, everyone should watch.

IDK. I just stopped watching when it went to new shit.

@ianhh6: hanna barbera was always one of the best and was a notch over todays cartoons, and from someone who is still quite young i can say: Yes they are getting worse (most of them)

I'll believe your judgement. But seriously watch Over the Garden Wall.

I think it's both.

Agreed.

1. Tom and Jerry [that was da show baby]
2. Tiny Toons
3. Sailor Moon
4. Pokemon 1st season [cause the intro was awesome]
5. American Dragon: Jake Long
6. TMNT [from the original to the new one now]
7. Digimon [season 1-4]
8. Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS
9. Thunder Cats [the original]
10. Young Justice
11. Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z/Dragon Ball GT

@davillain-: Damn man how could I forget Dragon Ball Z. And Thunder Cats, Digimon. The nostalgia is too strong!

@johnd13: You're so old, you are starting to forget stuff ;D

@ianhh6: anime?

@dylandr: I hate this. :( I better write down my account credentials so I don't forget them and get locked out of my account.

@johnd13: haha you go old timer :)

@johnd13: The ones I listed were great shows but I did forget to add one more cartoon on my list, Ben 10. Ben 10 was a good cartoon show and so was Generator Rex.

Samurai pizza cats, i think thats what it was called.

@ariabed: yes, you are correct, can not unsee what i just googled...

@dylandr: you didnt like it?

Thunder...thunder...thundercats ho!!

There was a bunch of stuff I liked watching but Thundercats was just up there.

And as a confession, I enjoyed watching Care Bears XD

@ariabed: i got 3 cats in a megaman suit i... i didn't know :p

@korvusno shame if you enjoyed it, you enjoyed it :3

@dylandr: I remember being at my sister's house (she had satellite) when I was 3yo watching Care Bears and then deciding to channel surf....somehow I ended up going from Care Bears to tentacle Hentai...

Mind...blown...

@korvus: 3 y/o and already a man... xD

@dylandr: lol! I guess you dont like cats.....or the megaman suit :)

"err...why is that girl naked? Nevermind the girl, what's the thing in the background?? Wait, where's that thing going??? Can stuff even go in there???? Which channel were the Care Bears on?????OMG, I'm missing the end of Care Bears!!!!!"

@ariabed: no i just wasn't prepared for it...

@korvus:

@dylandr: Geez man, that gif is so borderline I'm not sure I should smack you upside the head or congratulate you...
