Favourite Children's Cartoon?

[caffineking]

Invader Zim
Batman Animated Series
Tom and Jerry
X-Men
Dangermouse
Spongebob....

...and the list goes on...

 

[The Gatherer]

wasthat the thing with the heavy metal sharks that rode motorbikes?

 

[Hemlet]

wow, this is a very loaded question... in no particular order:
-Gargoyles
-Earthworm Jim
-Invader Zim
-Pinky and the Brain
-Reboot (sorry they lost funding and couldn't finish)
-Rocko's Modern Life

I left out anime because, although animated, I would class them differently. Also, it would expand my list substantially.

Pretty much these, except taking out Invader Zim and replacing that with Beast Wars. Also, fun fact, Reboot was well received enough in Canada where it DID actually get to finish. However, it wasn't popular enough in the US to be allowed to continue airing down there.

Oh, and Digimon. Can't forget Digimon. It and Pokemon were the only anime I had available to me as a kid and I was firmly situated in the "Digimon is cooler" crowd.

EDIT: Goddamn just remembered two! Cyber Six and Biker Mice From Mars! Cyber Six managed to be totally awesome, and ended right when it had started to overstay its welcome as a series. I have no idea what happened with Biker Mice From Mars, all I remember is that it was cracked right out and some of the toys were pretty awesome.

The Batman
Batman Animated Series
Superman Animated Series
Beastwars
Freakazoid
Animaniacs
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Ed Edd and Eddy

Street Sharks
nobody freaking remembers, do they?

I do! The toys had glow in the dark teeth and one of the bad guys had a big drill for a nose. It was like TMNT, but so filled with 90's it overloaded and just kind of blinked out of existence.

EDIT:

shadow raiders war planets

roughnecks starship troopers Chronicles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqU55EkAdQ

they where both great but nobody remembers them

I remember those too! The War Planets series ended up being far more entertaining than the toys that the show was meant to sell.

Courage the Cowardly Dog!

This may explain why I have bizarre definitions of "scary" nowadays.

 

[Thundero13]

My favorites are:
1. My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic
2. Phinease & Ferb
Both brilliant, both designed so that adults can enjoy them aswell as children.
For some that hold more nostalgia for me:
1. Spongebob Squarepants
2. Fairly Odd Parents
Don't watch them anymore, but both of those cartoons were my favorites when I was a child.

 

[sabercrusader]

Avatar: The Last Airbender easily. Not only is it a kids show, it also explores some mature themes in it too, plus the story was pretty good for a kids show also.

Honorable Mentions include:
Invader Zim
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Dragonball Z
Spongebob
Tom and Jerry
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
and Pokemon (The Kanto Reigion)

 

[TheBoulder]

Avatar: The Last Airbender is definitely my favourite children's cartoon, followed closely by Spongebob and Samurai Jack.

 

[Knocker]

Silver Hawks, Tiger Sharks and Turbo Teen......yes, i am that old.

Not true. Reboot was canceled and ended on a cliffhanger. It was after the two movies which were split up into episodes, the second being "my two bobs". The series did actually continue in comics, but I haven't been able to find them.

I live in Canada and actually got to meet some of the creators of the show. Point of fun, did you notice guns don't fire bullets in the first season or 2? Nothing was allowed to cause death to a character in Canadian childrens television until a couple years after they started. Then Enzo got all pimp and started fucking up everyone's day. Awesome show. And I forgot Beast Wars and Beast Machines... I have too much crap downloaded, lol.

 

[zombiestrangler]

Kinda curious why OpticalJunction got a warning for Angry Beavers. It was a good show. Also Freakazoid and Earthworm Jim.

 

[akfg666]

Courage the cowardly dog :')...but the canceled it the bastards!

 

[Solo-Wing]

Either Fosters or MLP.

Ads for capcha. COME ON!

This one. I also love The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy


The rest of my favourites include The powerpuff girls, Dexter's lab, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Hey Arnold!, Pokemon and Digimon. I still watch these cartoons if I ever catch them on TV, and I have several episodes of The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy on my iTunes.

 

[Rorigon]

Without basically listing every major cartoon from somewhere around 1994-2002, I'd have to say my top three are:

Transformers(G1 and Beast Wars, in that order; screw Beast Machines and it's organic Cybertron.)
Invader Zim
Animaniacs


And of course, MLP:FiM is AWESOME.

Edit: Gah! How could I forget Courage the Cowardly Dog?!

Huh, I don't remember "My Two Bobs" ending on a cliffhanger. Granted it's been forever since I've seen an episode of Reboot that wasn't from the first season (Teletoon Retro FTW), so I can't exactly claim to have the best memory in that regard. Also now that you bring it up yeah I did notice that at one point. Of course I never noticed it when I was a kid but when I got older I started wondering why they decided to downgrade from apparent lasers to just plain old bullets.

Digimon Tamers.

It's a really good show! I don't care if it was a promotional vehicle! It was a show with good characters and conflict! I'LL NEVER SAY OTHERWISE!!! *goes to corner, cries, denies everybody's opinions*

Also, I'm really liking The Regular Show. It's just something about the insane logic and the changing of emotions with the flip of a coin. Also, it kind of realizes it's a stupid show and has fun because of it.

Don't worry, I liked the (first two seasons of) Digimon. I actually recently got into a fight with an ex of mine because I said that some anime she had shown me made me think of what Digimon might look like in animation style and art design had it been done today instead of twelve years ago. She took that as a personal insult and got angry at me which, not being an anime buff or anything, extremely confused me.

OT: Hm. I always enjoy a good Spongebob or Fairly Odd Parents episode; Dexter's Laboratory should really be played in reruns; I'd argue that Looney Tunes is a bit mature to be a children's cartoon if you really pay attention, but it's good for slapstick comedy to the young'ins; I also miss some of the shows like Courage The Cowardly Dog, Hey Arnold!, Doug, Animaniacs, and while I never watched the original Transformers cartoon, Transformers: The Movie was delightful and Beast Wars was pretty cool.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot Rugrats and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Id have to say fairly odd parents

Courage the Cowardly Dog, I loved that show so much.
