I think that's what I meant referred to it, but anyways, I see what you mean.

well, more than flattening and blowing up.

Stuff like Bloo "drawing" a straw. I suppose that could be classified as stupid humor...

Ah, yes, other 'toons I like. Let me think 'bout it for a second...

------------------------

Yes, I was easy to please back in the 90's.

Nyo! You make a list of 90's cartoons and fail to mention Angry Beavers! *is shocked* ;)

Gosh, there's no way I could list all the cartoons I like...let's just leave it at a lot.

OMG! I'll edit it. *is stupid*

That's every single cartoon I watched in my childhood. :D

That's why I love Foster's as well. Family Guy has random cutaway gags that the basis of the humor is entirely based upon; Foster's has everything. (Note to animators: if you're going to use the stupid-but-lovable-dad/sexy wife/smart kid/dumb kid/smart baby thing, simply adding a talking dog isn't really enough.)

there's probably more but my mind is somewhat blank right now, so this is all I'll name right now.

Favorite Cartoons
 

Hi, guys ...

After a long period of time when there was absolute garbage on tv for cartoons, let's give the Cartoon Network and huge "HOORAY!" I mean, thank god they even exist.

Obviously, Foster's is a huge favorite of mine, but it is followed very closely by Ed, Edd & Eddy. I am absolutely in love with Edd and think he is a real cool dude. Other people in my house have a thing for Billy & Mandy, although I don't see it.

Last ... my daughter is a die hard Pokemon fan (I am, too) and she's into "My Gym Partner's a Monkey" and "Camp Lazlo" ... I like the elephant on that one. She also likes "Xiolin Showdown". She's 9, by the way.

Last but certainly not least, I really like "Animaniacs" and have a thing for the "Good Feathers".

As for classic cartoons, we like "Tom & Jerry" and "Garfield" -- the one with Orson and the farm and everything. We don't like Orson or the farm, but it's that time period.

That's it.

~D~

I agree with this, not just about Family Guy, but "adult" animation in general. Adult cartoons pride themselves as being edgy and unique--but it seems like that they've become so blatant in their pop culture references and lowbrow humor that all creativity is lost. I'm sure that kind of stuff was groundbreaking back when South Park was starting up, but now that nearly adult cartoon these days just has to have lots of "shock" humor at the expense of genuinely interesting characters and stories, it's simply become tired to me.

Every single time I tune in to Adult Swim's comedy block, I end up laughing more at the bumpers than much of the actual programming itself. EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME. I think that's because the bumpers are subtle and clever in their humor, in a way that I fail to see in many adult cartoons of today.

And I, for one, hope that Futurama WON'T be "upgraded" to TV-14 or TV-MA for it's return in 2008. Even from the very beginning, I appreciated that show because it didn't completely sacrifice the heart of it's characters for it's ability to do edgy humor, and was even capable of stories that were genuinely touching(like the episode with Fry's dog). If it comes back as just another clone of the typical "SHOCK" adult cartoon we see a lot these days, I'll be very sad.

Speaking of adult rated cartoons like Family Guy, Squidbillies, and South Park and what not.

You guys like/watch "Drawn Together"?

Because I think that show is the FUNNIEST and DIRTIEST show I have ever seen.

I love that show. Many times I've been watching it, my eyes popping out of my head, saying "I don't believe they did that!" It's one of the few shows on these days that I'll rearrange my schedule for.

Oh, and my favorite character is the pig, Spanky Ham. ;D

Mine's Captain Hero, he's the only character that actually lowers his standards more and more every time I see him. Especially after this week's episode, I can't believe who his child's mother actually is.

They go so nuts on the show, it's hysterical, every time their on I don't think they can push the content any further down into the gutter but they somehow do. I loved the episode where Foxxy was being prosecured by the Board of Education from School House rock.

The constant use of the Rancor from Star Wars, and his "secret weapon" with the pencils. It's a shame half the stuff they say can't even be repeated in most public areas 8D.

More...
Billy & Mandy (YES!)
Garfield & friends
Disney Shorts
Looney Tunes
Squirel Boy (Sometimes)
Xiaolan Showdown (SP?)
Jimmy nuetron
Drawn Together
Star Wars: Clone Wars

I actually think Drawn Together is pretty good, at least from what little I've seen. I might catch more of it soon.

I really didn't want to bump the thread up from a three-year hibernation, but thanks to babysitting, my current favorite show is PBS' WordGirl. It's about a ten-and-a-half-year old super hero who used volcabulary skills instead of super strength to beat her rivals. And if you listen closely, a couple of our old friends from Foster's are doing character voices.

Grey DeLisle (Frankie) plays Lady Redundant Woman, a thesarus-speaking cross between a female villain and a copy machine, and Tom Kenny (Eduardo) voices Dr. Two Brains who became evil when an albino mouse accidentally fused his brain with Dr. Boxleitner after the rodent hit the "HOLY COW! DON'T HIT THIS BUTTON!!!"

Haha! I love WordGirl! I actually forget that it's an educational program when I watch it. And didn't it win an award for its writting?

Here's my two cents worth 8D:

Foster's (obviously)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (kick-ass finale!)
Kim Possible
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Wallace & Gromit
Xiaolin Showdown
Family Guy
Robot Chicken
Histeria!
Ben 10
Danny Phantom
Teen Titans (possibly the only DC show I'll ever watch!)
Ed, Edd n' Eddy
The Powerpuff Girls
Inspector Gadget
Chip 'n' Dale: Rescue Rangers
Atomic Betty
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
Victor & Hugo: Bunglers in Crime
Dave the Barbarian
Pokemon
Steel Angel Kurumi
Burn Up Excess
Cardcaptor Sakura
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Most recently, Phineas and Ferb has become one of my favourites after seeing the episode Put That Putter Away. I was surprised at how funny it is. I especially loved the music in this show, especially the main song, which was (in this case) The Disco Minature Golfing Queen. I found myself singing along to it. And yes, Dr. Doofenshmirtz was hilarious!

I'll too admit that Wordgirl is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine, and it's one of the few educational shows that actually presents the subject matter in a fun and creative way. Of course this is from the same studio that brought us such shows as Dr. Katz, Home Movies and Science Court. (So they know something about creativity.)

I'll also admit that if I go totally insane and get a pet monkey I am soooo calling him "Captain Huggy Face."

Chip And Dale Rescue Rangers
Animaniacs
Tiny Toons
Pinky and the Brain
Rocky and Bullwinkle
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Secret of NIMH
Last Unicorn
Balto
Looney Tunes
Rock and Rule
Cats Don't Dance
Invader ZIM!

There may be others but that's all I can think of currently

I'm delighted to see WordGirl brought up so many times! I've quickly fallen in love with that show, too. It's cute, it's funny, and entertaining, even for us older folks.

Among others, I've always loved another PBS animation- Arthur. Been a fan since it's debut in '95 I think it was. I've got to mention Pepper Ann again. And Sabrina the Animated Series. Man I miss those shows. Three's also Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. I miss them too. There's also PBS's Maya and Miguel, Curious George, and Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, and Angalina Ballerina. Of other CN shows there's Chowder of course, Codename- Kids Next Door, and I enjoyed Teen Titans as well.

Man, all but Arthur, Curious George and WordGirl are hard to come by now days. :bloosad:

And you also know him well as "Bob"?

Chowder
South Park
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Space Ghost Coast to Coast (I guess it could count as a cartoon, right?)
Home Movies
Beavis and Butt-Head
Ren and Stimpy
Futurama
Rocko's Modern Life
Flapjack
Simpsons (old eps)

Dexter's Laboratory (original, not the "revived" version)
Futurama
Tom and Jerry (originals from 1940 to 1969 or so)
A couple of those late 80's Disney cartoons
Looney Tunes
SpongeBob (yeah yeah, whatever, lol)
South Park (first 7 seasons, ones past that are crap, mostly)
Invader ZIM
Camp Lazlo
The Marvelous Misadvenures of FlapJack
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
and most classic cartoons, really.

Oh yeah, I like Lazlo, too. And another PBS cartoon, Martha Speaks, which is about a dog who ate alphabet soup and "the letters lost their way. They made it to her brain so now she's got a lot to say!" Yeah, I do watch a lot of PBS. 8D

Oh my, how whimsical.

Anyway, my favourite cartoons...as a kid, I always liked Garfield and Friends (I'm old enough to remember when that was a brand spankin' new TV show), and it remains one of my favourites today. Sure, there's a fair amount of nostalgia involved in that, but I also believe that the Garfield segments do actually hold up quite well, twenty years on (the US Acres segments, or Orson's Farm, as they were know internationally, don't quite have the same appeal - a little too overtly didactic in their morals, perhaps? - but I still like them). Even better are the Garfield TV specials, most of which I have on DVD (though there are a couple which were never released in Region 2 which I probably should try to import some time). I'm not satisfied with the Garfield toons of today. I didn't really care for the live action movies, and while I do keep thinking that maybe I ought to give the newer CGI animations a chance some time, a part of me can't help but automatically resent the fact that they're done in CGI (does everything nowadays have to be?), and I fear that for as long as Lorenzo Music stays dead, the spirit of the older Garfield toons will always be beyond revival.

Keeping with the comic strip incarnations, I'm also a fan of the Peanuts cartoons (the TV specials which spanned two or three decades, and the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show series from the 80s).

Then there's Roger Rabbit. I love his cartoons (all three of 'em, unless you count the one seen at the start of the movie), along with the character of Jessica Rabbit, who always cameos. It's too bad they stopped making them, after doing so little - I believe that the last one was shown theatrically with the UK release of Toy Story back in 1996. Oh sure, there have been plans for another Roger Rabbit movie ever since the first one was such a big hit back in 1988, but...if it was ever going to happen, I think it would have done so by now, while the original was still relatively fresh on people's minds.

And I will put in some support for Pepper Ann, because I always enjoyed that cartoon. It had a very quirky and likeable sense of humour, and I always found Pepper Ann herself to be a lot more relatable than most other female protagonists - animated or otherwise - of the time (though I'd probably have to describe myself as something of a cross between Nicky and Pepper Ann).

There's probably a heck of a lot more I could mention - including all the really obvious stuff, like Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Duck Tales, the Raccoons, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and all the old Disney shorts - but I probably should get a move on with my routine in the outside world, so I'll cut it short for now.

Figured I'd add a couple that I forgot and one that I just love that was a recent find...

Futurama
Simpsons
Family Guy
Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law
Dark Wing Duck
UP
and the one that I've recently been addicted to,

Capitol Critters...

I think mine are:
Spongebob
Arthur
She-ra Princess of Power (mostly the memory of it as an adult they are not as great)
Jem
Powerpuff Girls
Time Squad

I've just recently started watching a show that I first didn't take too much notice of back in 2004, but it's now one of my favourites.

The show is called Martin Morning (also known in French as Martin Matin). It's a French animated series about a seven-year-old boy named Martin, who wakes up every morning as something/someone completely different! He could be an alien, Sherlock Holmes, an Indian Chief, a dragon, a 19th Century navel officer, even a caveman! The show deals with whatever he becomes and the situations that he finds himself with, with his friend Gromo, and his girlfriend Roxanne.

It's a kids show, but it doesn't bother me at all, and it also has a catchy theme song too.

My list:
Foster's
Dexter's Lab
Johnny Bravo
Chowder
Flapjack
Spongebob (1999-2005)
Fairly Odd Parents
Invader Zim
Rocko's Modern Life
Angry Beavers
Animaniacs
Tiny Toons
Pinky & the Brain
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Batman: The Animated Series
X-Men '90s
Spider-Man '90s
Spectacular Spider-Man
Wolverine & the X-Men
Simpsons
Family Guy
Futurama
South Park
Robot Chicken
Darkwing Duck
Quack Pack
Goof Troop
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers
Duck Tales (Woo-ooo!)

Even thgough I just turned 20 this last week there are still lots of cartoons I like to watch. I'll do a list later, but one show I have been revisiting lately is Disney's Recess (you can just call it Recess, but I've added 'Disney's' just in case). It was shown on Saturday mornings ten years ago and I watch it every week. I've recently been watching again on youtube, as I haven;t seen it in years, and whist some things form childhood mind not stand up well today, this show certainly isn't one of them! The animation looks a little dated, but there is certainly a timeless appeal to it, and I enjoy just as much now as I did then. Watching back I am surprised as to how articulate it is, especially Mikey's poetry or Gretchen's technical analysis'.

I got a new favorite toon that just debuted this past year.

Archer which is a spy spoof from the minds that brought us such Adult Swim shows as Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo.

It's basically what you would get if you threw James Bond, Arrested Development the Office and the two previously mentioned shows into a cocktail shaker and shook it up nice and quick.

Seems that CN has decided to bring back one of my old favorites, Thundercats:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100603/..._thundercats_1

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. Are they going to be true to the original series or will the new show be a barely recognizable remake? :macwor:

They've got a good team behind it, so I have no reason to believe that this won't be a worthwhile remake.

Pokemon, and Transformers Armada.
