Which was your favorite cartoon when you were young?

34 comments

1. Underdog, Mighty Mouse, Thundercats, Richie Rich, Scooby Doo, Space Ghost, Herculoids. I was done with cartoons long before the 90s got here.

2. Bugs Bunny, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Scooby Doo

   (Does it date me further that I only had access to a color TV about half way through my childhood?)

3. Wile E. Coyote vs. Road Runner.

   I had kids of my own in the 90s….

4. Mighty Mouse, Speed Racer, Jetsons, Ultraman, Batman (Adam West).

5. Most memorable… StarBlazers!

6. Too many to name. Few standouts would be inspector gadget, TMNT, astroboy, Simpsons, duck tales, tailspin, chip and dale rescue rangers, the raccoons, my pet monster, babar, scoobydoo, looney toons

7. Scooby Doo, Wacky Racers, Street Sharks, Looney Toons, Flintstones, Tom & Jerry

8. Bugs Bunny. I wasn’t a fan of Woody Woodpecker. He was an instigator.

9. Broom

10. Moo Mesa, Pirates of Dark Water, and Reboot are the most memorable for me. I watch cartoons with my kids now and the shows are definitely different. I can’t say if my shows were better though.

11. Robotech, Dino Riders, Battletech, and then later Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, and Cowboy Bebop.

12. Garfield & Friends

13. Freakazoid

14. Earthworm Jim, X—Men, Dexters Laboratory, Thunder Cats, Johnny Quest, Gundam Wing, Pokémon, South Park …

15. No favorite, so I’m just mashing up ones from all ages: DBZ, TMNT, Tom and Jerry, Animaniacs, Doug, Arthur, Dragon Tales, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Simpsons, Sagwa, Duck Tales… probably some more I’ve missed.

16. Reboot was a big one for me. Helped kindle my love of technology. Watched it last year with my wife and was surprised how well it held up, epically the second half of season 2 onwards.

    I watched many other Saturday morning cartoons but none of them really stuck with me. I remember seeing episodes of Pirates of Dark Water and always being intrigued but could never find them airing consistently.

17. Best cartoons are actually from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Before they sanitized them that is. But I also dug the cartoons of my generation in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

18. The magic school bus

19. Tom & Jerry

20. Hey Arnold was probably number one

21. Speed Racer!

22. The Real Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man, looney Tunes, rugrats, Scooby Doo

23. Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocko’s Modern Life

24. M.A.S.K., GI Joe, and Captain Planet

25. Swat Katz, Captain Planet, Rockos Modern Life, Doug, AHH! Real Monsters.

26. #1. Star Blazers – one of the first Japanese anime shown on network TV from 1979-1984. I still know most of the words to the opening song. I had to get up at 6:30am on Saturday morning to see it

    #2 Space Ghost

    #3 transformers

27. Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, GI Joe, Thundercats, Robotech, Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, Popeye, Rocky and Bullwinkle.

28. Scooby Doo

29. Spider-Man the animated series. It is from ’97 on.

30. Looney Tunes

31. Transformers (G1).

32. TMNT and X-Men in the 90s. But there are so many good cartoons now. Most of what I watched in the 80s was garbage. None of it was a good as, say, Gravity Falls

33. Doug

34. For me, it was the 8 man cartoons on TV.
