Our threads seem to devolve into talk about cartoons a lot, so I decided we may as well have a thread dedicated to it.
Childhood favorites, adulthood favorites, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, tv, movies... discuss your favorites and/or least favorites here
Coming in late, but I love this OT thread- kudos for starting it.
So many toons, so many...
In no order other than recollection
Childhood - Gumby, Transformers, MASK, He-Man (truly a horrible cartoon in retrospect), GI Joe, Silver Hawks, Voltron, Carebears, Gummibears, Smurfs, Jem, My Little Ponies (I have a younger sister and
had to share the tv), Looney Tunes, Muppet Babies, David the Gnome (google assist- sick days home from school), Inspector Gadget (google assist- feel shamed I forgot), Ghostbusters (this is awesome, different cartoon and studio)
Middle/High school'ish - Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers, Tailspin, Darkwing Duck, Count Duckula, DuckTales (90s & now), Batman: The Animated Series, DBZ, Gundam, Transformers: Beast Wars, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Tick, Ren & Stimpy, Rocco's Modern Life, Animaniacs, Gargoyles, The Critic, X-Men (90s), Spider-Man (90s & now), the Avengers (now), Guardians of the Galaxy (now), Justice League, Super Man (it was on), Doug, Rugrats, Aaahh Real Monsters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (90s), Mutant League, Toxic Avenger, Swamp Thing, Tiny Toon Adventures (google assist), Daria (google assist), Eek! The Cat (special shout out to sub-set Terrible Thunder Lizards), Swat Kats (google assist), King of the Hill, Thundercats (google assist- feel shamed I forgot), The Real Ghostbusters (google assist- feel shamed I forgot), Batman Beyond, Scooby-Doo, Sailor Moon
Cartoon Network - Dexter's Labratory, PowerPuff Girls, Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go, Samuri Jack, Steven Universe, We Three Bears, Craig of the Creek
Adult Swim - All of it except f***ing Squidbillies, trash. Personal fav's- Sealab 2021, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, the Brak Show, Killface, Tom Goes to Mayor, Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Toonami - Damn near all of it- basically not the biggest Naruto fan at all, and could take or leave One Piece. Anything with a Mech is top of the pile, always watched the DB stuff even if painfully slow. Cowboy Beebop, Outlaw Star, Big O, any Gundam, are what got me interested, and I stick around for whatever the WB/Cartoon Network/Adult Swim decide I should watch.
Randoms now - Bob's Burgers, American Dad, Family Guy, South Park, Final Space, the non-Lego Star Wars, Futurama*
Noticeably missing - The Simpsons
EDIT: shamefully, I forgot Tom & Jerry. T&J plus Looney Toons were my introduction to cartoons with my dad
Also, I should add PawPatrol for now, because my toddler is a terrorist, and I've yelped for help. There's 25+ hours of PawPatrol on my DVR right now.
EDIT*2: Stealing someone else's- Courage the Cowardly Dog was awesome, partnered with Eek! the Cat. Pink Panther was hit or miss, but enjoyable when catchable. Avatar the Last Airbender, watched/liked season 1, they lost me in season 2 and beyond. The Jetsons, another retro awesomeness (was not a Flintstones fan, but I watched anyway.)
I forgot the Hanna Barbara line-up, basis for a lot of the early Adult Swim stuff. HARVEY BIRDMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW*. Those old H-B toons were another I'd watch with my dad as a wee child. The Boomerang Channel, a block that predated Adult Swim in the late night/over-night hours, became it's own premium channel, then faded away with a wimper, was instant success with my eyeballs.
