Garfield and Friends
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Power Puff Girls
Wren and Stimpy?
They were too weird for me in my early teens, I first got them years later.
Ed, Edd, and Eddie
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Pluto TV is missing out in not making a deal with whoever the owner of CN is, those classics deserve their spot there…
In the meantime I am happily using DizqueTV to make my own channels 😂
Adult Swim has Checkered Past, and they air Courage and Ed, Edd and Eddy
They also air Billy and Mandy and What a Cartoon as well
Reboot
It may not be the answer I gave at the time, but it’s the best balance now of “liked it as a kid” and “like it as an adult”
I’m terrified of rewatching it and it not living up to my nostalgia.
A documentary was released on the show last month. During production they were given the original master tapes for the show and have been slowly releasing all of the episodes in glorious 4k for free on YouTube. Check them out - they hold up to nostalgia better than you’d expect.
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It’s called ReBoot Rewind.
Alphanumeric!
Wtf no one said TOM&JERRY??
The background art in the early ones was beautiful.
I used to watch a lot of Boomerang in Latin America, they aired either OG Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry for 1 hour daily
I had a love/hate relationship with that show because I felt so sorry for Tom. Kept watching it though so clearly it did something right.
I was about to type about tom and jerry lmao
Jem and the Holograms
Danger Mouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
The Jetsons
David the Gnome
MarsupilamiCame here to say David the Gnome, just rewatched it recently and loved it. Never met someone else in real life who has ever seen it.
This shouldn’t be the answer because it’s not really for kids. But it is, and will always be, The Simpsons.
Every evening at 6pm on UPN I would watch the Simpsons with my dad. I went from watching and understanding Bart to now watching with my daughter and seeing it through Homer’s eyes.
As a kid, I would always flip on the TV for the evening episode of the Simpsons too haha! Except I swear for me it was 5pm.
I’m EST. Maybe you are central time? Bill Nye was on at 5pm on PBS for me
The Tick.
I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.
I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.
I’ll throw in EEK! The Cat in with the hilarious and witty parodies
Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
The new she-ra is rad.
totally
Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.
- The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Pirates of Dark Water
- Conan the Adventurer
Dungeons & Dragons is such a classic. I still watch it on occasion.
Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.
The opening theme to Tintin is playing in my head right now. What a beautiful cartoon.
Robotech
Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.
I would have never memorized the presidents without Yakko, Wakko and Dot
Heck yeah! Great rhymes.
I can’t drive by rock climbing gyms without singing “Cliff Hanger!”
Not my favourite but I’m throwing this out tbere.
Goof Troop
TaleSpin
