   My list would be pretty similar. I think people of the same generation tend to watch the same things, after all these were the shows that we would discuss over recess or after school back in the day. I am more of a Transformers guy, so tended to follow Transformers and Beast Wars rather religiously. Good times, Good times.

   I recently had the opportunity to rewatch some Pinky and the Brain, and I was surprised to find that the show (along with alot of the other Steven Spielberg presents shows like Animaniacs and Freakazoid) was alot funnier than I remember. Alot of the jokes were pretty clever, though like most satire somewhat dated. As a kid, I probably just laughed at the slapstick. Batman:TAS has also held up pretty well.

   @prime
   Ah yes the Batman series. Not on my primetime list but watched enough to know the penguin’s retard.

   @Snoo
   Holy, I totally missed out that one. Along with roadrunner, bugs bunny, whatever ACME thing they had. The list goes on.

   I watched almost everything of what you watched as well.

   Superman Animated, Batman animated, Batman of the future and spiderman animated were my stables as well. For these, you have to agree that that oldie is good. Look at kiddish batman and spiderman now!!

   I only remember a couple, such as Popeye and Dexter’s Lab

7. 7 Stifler 106 comments Mar 8th, 2009 at 11:06 pm

   What, no Captain Planet?

   TMNT, Transformers, both Beast Wars, Reboot, X-Men, and yeah, pretty much what you said. Minus Johnny Quest. I never did like that.

    I remember saturday morning cartoons would run from 9 all the way until noon. And sundays at 9am had Spiderman followed by Fantastic Four. Some great cartoons that haven’t been mentioned yet: The Underdog Show, Tail Spin, Darkwing Duck.

    NOOBS. Where are GHOST BUSTERS, TOXIC CRUSADERS, Johnny Bravo?? King ARTHUR and his knights of the round with super armour, Conan the adventurer, You’re Under Arrest, Last Exile, Gatekeepers.

    Whoah, I can sign to 10 of these 14. While they naturally seemed cool at the time, none of these shows can compare to the overwhelming shock of pure AWESOMENESS caused by 2 episodes of Robotech I happened to see on Scifi-channel. That was way more than a feeble child’s mind could handle.

    Hey, how come The Real Ghostbusters isn’t on that list?

    Also, Thundercats! HOOOOOOOO!!!

    Swat Kats turned some people I know into furries. I was more hung up on how they fit that many missiles into that goddamn jet.

14. 14 MrMayat 50 comments Mar 9th, 2009 at 10:10 am

    To add to the mix from the top of my head,

    Visionaries, Star Command, Saber Rider, Lonestar

    Lian, you fail for not including Thundercats and He-Man in your list. I shall now brood in hate.

    King ARTHUR and his knights of the round with super armour
    Is that the one where they were a football team on a bus or something then they suddenly got transported back in time.

    Oh right, Ghostbusters. How could we have forgotten Ghostbusters? Also, Miker Mice from Mars.

28. 28 anon 3 comments Mar 10th, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    My favourites are Batman, Spiderman, Mr. Ajikko (thanks to that I can cook now) and Zettai Muteki Raijin-oh (classrooms that are control rooms for mecha are just perfect for education aren’t they?)

29. 29 Hynavian 29 comments Mar 11th, 2009 at 12:00 pm

    Ah the sweet old times, no Care Bears? Other than the above, I remember being a big fan of “Arthur”. It’s sweet with a distinctive OP. (:

    Hi,season 4 has ended strange because Rita is dead and I’m waiting for season 5.I think season 5 will be the best of the seasons.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
