Yes, and among all those great shows, there were the steaming piles of shit.
I'm Fightgarr, the nostalgia nazi. Lets take a look at some shows that we remember as great:
Earthworm Jim: The Show: Oh, wow. Jim was a show? It must be great. Only... if it weren't terribly animated, not funny and generally poorly executed. You're better off with TMNT.
Street Sharks: This show was totally jawsome right? Wrong. This show came right out of the shithole of "let's copy the Ninja Turtles again". It followed an incredibly poorly written series of events around some mutated sharks who are the "heros" despite the fact that all they ever do is cause civic damage. Given the chance to explain themselves, that they are doing this to find their father, they attempt to eat a helicopter (that's right, they actually eat helicopters). The writing is lazy, the animation and art was awful... it was just bad.
The golden age of the cartoons of our youth had some of the laziest writers, biggest lack of editting (as evidenced by the purple ninja turtle with nunchucks using Raph's voice) and ultimately resulting in some very bad cartoons that kids absolutely loved.
Now that I've torn down some, I'll build some back up:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The best theme song ever, coupled with some hilariously shitty characters made for fun times. It didn't matter that the show was practically unedited, it was hilarious. And bodacious.
Gargoyles: With Captain Anderson AKA the Arbiter AKA that blind pig from Princess Mononoke AKA Spawn voicing Goliath and a bunch of winged goblinoids beating up biker gangs, you had a solid show. Fuckin' badass.
That was just cartoons. I could go on to various gaming platforms, albums and movies of the nineties. I won't, but I'm pretty much on a never-ending quest to take a second look at things I'm nostalgic about from the nineties.

I remember when Nick and Cartoon Network had something good on. *Sigh* I miss those days. Good days.
ReBoot! REBOOT!! Oh my God, REBOOT!! What a show...!
Anybody...?? ReBoot! Anybody!?
Was there ever a ReBoot game??

Not into the cartoon nostalgia, but I love a lot of the music, games and films produced in that decade. Just a shame I wasn't able to fully appreciate a lot of it at the time.
