Never got into sports anime/manga that much. The only ones I really enjoyed were Prince of Tennis before it got to whacky to me and Baby Steps. I didn't even care for Kuroko no Basuke that much.@Chinatown88 Do you watch Haikyuu?
It's most likely because by the 60's nobody wanted to pay for classic animation anymore so they cheaped out. Besides T&J no longer had a movie studio financing them. Look at the final years of the Warner Bros. theatrical shorts. They practically looked like Hanna Barbera TV shows at the time. The Children's Ghetto age of animation had begun.Yep. I'm pretty sure 63-67 were Chuck Jones years, and while I worship that man, I like the earlier ones better. There were some great space stories in the 60s, though.

Haven't seen it since it first came out but I liked Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. From what I can remember it was more faithful to the book than Peter Jackson's films. Unfortunately they never made the sequel to finish the story.
It's absolutely awesome, but they mashed up Legolas and Glorfindel. I haven't seen it in ages either - I'll have to watch it soon.
Those were awesomeMy 2 all time favorite childhood cartoons are The Herculoids and Thundarr the Batbarian.
Warning ahead: I'm going to be "that guy":
Kids' cartoons after the 1970s just rubbed me as being wimpy. Same for anime. Hated Speed Racer, but loved Kimba the White Lion when I was a wee lad. Yes, wimpy and anime, so sue me.
The Mighty Heroes was transcendent for me. Ralph Bakshi was a genius.
Duckman is still a personal favorite
The Pink Panther cartoons, with Inspector Clouseau, Ant & The Aardvark and Tijuana Toads were great TV
The Venture Bros. still generate fresh laughs
American Dad - I'll take it over Family Guy, which is still very good
Spider-Man (1967) was too cool and ahead of its time
Of course, Ren & Stimpy, Spawn, South Park, Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast, Schoolhouse Rock, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Looney Tunes, The Flintstones, and Beavis and Butthead all make the cut.
As for The Jetsons...Jane His Wife was pure sex.
You definitely missed Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men from the early 90's then. They were anything but wimpy.
Ever since the mid-90s I've had trouble with American animation. Too stylized for my taste. But then, I had real issues with the animation in Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse, so I may just be a crazy person.
Ew, bad take

This is for the children among our illustrious board (myself included) who grew up watching Nickelodeon in the late 90s/early 00s (which I realize does not represent everyone here). Made the rounds on social media a few weeks ago, I'm told.
Also please note Vancouver Beavers mascots Norbert and Daggett sitting pretty in a $4 spot.
That's probably the only answer. Swapping in Jimmy Neutron every once in a while.Avatar, Fairly Odd Parents, Rocket Power, SpongeBob.
Easy.
