My aggressive journey to say a few words. (AKA) I'll be saying stuff that won't matter to many of you but it'll ALL mean something to me.
I was just thinking about some of the old cartoons I used to watch all the time. It came up in an article I just recently read.

Anyways. These would have to be my most favorite shows of my "child"hood, and beyond:

*Animaniacs... a hilariously stupid cartoon with puppy-dog things as the main characters

*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... the most kick-butt heros ever, next to Spider-Man and The X-Men, and I used to have everything you could buy of theirs. I even had the weapons and sheets. I also had nearly every TMNT action figure.

*Power Rangers... well, they were kinda cool at first, but it just got old. Basically I didn't like how they kept getting new Rangers and all that junk.

*Mr. Roger's Neighborhood... I'm not sure if it would really be considered a cartoon but I watched it like it was. lol

*Barney... definitely something that got old FAST. The whole "big purple dynosaur hugging and holding a small group of childern that didn't realize how badly they were dressed" thing just didn't work for long. About from age 2 to 3 or 4.

*Digimon... a little bit later in my "child"hood, but it was in the time frame anyways. It was so cool at first, like Power Rangers. Then they just kept changeing the story on me.

*Transformers... vehicles turning into huge robots... what more is there to say?

*Beast Wars... same thing but with "animals"

*Attack of The Killer Tomatoes... that was a horrible cartoon but a very entertaining one none the less.

*I can't think of the name, but it was about these people that fought some bad guy on the internet. It's when computer animation first hit cartoons hard.

*He-Man... if you don't know about He-Man you should be shot!

Well, I think that's enough for now. If you have any you want to add, go for it. But I don't think you'll beat any of my list.

Capt. over and out!

I would like to see some replays of the "Superfriends."  I used to watch that every day.

Capt., how could you forget the best past time cartoon??.............the one and only.........CAREBEARS!!! I can't believe you forgot them! And I know you used to watch them too. lol. Yeah, I miss all of those old cartoons. I think they should still play them on tv. But i guess they like torturing us with all of these new stupid cartoons. And I see you got the idea for your article from mine. hehe. I used to love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. What ever happened to them? *sigh* Yeah and I think Digimon was like maybe when you were probably like 14 or 15. So that wasn't that long ago. lol. I know the show that you're talking about with the people that fought the bad guy on the computer. I just can't think of it. If i remember correctly it was on Nickelodeon. And BakerStreet, I know for a fact that it's not Reboot. Humm.........If I think of the name of it I'll get back to you Capt. Sound good? Yea, thought so. lol.

"And BakerStreet, I know for a fact that it's not Reboot."


Really? Reboot was a CG cartoon about Bob and his friends that live in a computer and fight Megabyte in the city of Mainframe. The only other such works that I am aware of are Tron and Cyberchase. Would love to hear about another totally computer animated cartoon about people that live in a computer and fight bad guys. Might be something I would like to watch.

As an aside, I think you don't know much about modern cartoons. If you can call cartoons like Samurai Jack, Teen Titans, etc. stupid, then I don't think you have ever watched them. Cartoons are being taken seriously by the entertainment industry now, for the first time in decades. A great deal of money, time, and talent is being devoted to the industry now.

I would like to hear what you think is so stupid. Perhaps you'd like to elaborate?

I'd have to agree on the Animaniacs...that was an awesome cartoon...although I haven't seen if for a long time. I didn't like the Power Rangers at all, nor Barney...although if you watch it now it is HILARIOUS if you add a discreet sexual innuendo...just pretend he's using double-meanings and it's great. I also used to watch Digimon for a bit, but they changed the main characters and plot ever few days and I gave up... Beast Wars was good too...I don't know what happened to it....eh...

Well, nice article....a lot of nostalgia in there...lol,

Carebear~ I'm sorry I forgot carebears. I knew there was one I was missing but I just couldn't put my finger on it. 14 or 15 you say? I don't know what you're talking about. That shows been out for at least 6 years now. the original season, the three seasons that went with it. The 2nd group of dgimon and the 2 seasons that were a part of it. Then there's like 3 other groups of little kids after that. I don't think this all took place in 3 years. Sorry.

Bakerstreet~ Thank you, that's it. Sorry to disapoint carebear, but you were right on. So, you're still watching cartoons too? That's awesome! My mom switched from satelite to cable and now we don't have Cartoon Network. That sucks man. Samurai Jack is a great one. It started all of the awesome animation we have now. I mean, we wouldn't have half the awesome looking stuff if it wasn't for this "new" form of illustration.

Zoologist03~ I'm glad to see you share some of my interests in cartoons. The thing is that Barney was one of those shows I started to like because my mom put me in front of it and made me watch it when I was a little fella. Yeah, Beast Wars was cool, especailly the guys like Ratrap and umm... the crocodile guy... I can't remember his name. I'm so ashamed I can't remember the characters or cartoons that I used to love watching.

Well guys, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Oh, and baker. What other shows can you name off, from the time frame I'm talking about, that you think were pretty good? I'm sure there's some I'm missing and you sound like you would know which one's I'm missing.

Capt.~yeah it's ok you forgot Carebears. I'll let that one slide this time. . Ok so I was wrong about Digimon. But I've only seen it ever since my brothers got into it. I thought for sure that it wasn't Reboot. sorry BakerStreet. I think I'm thinking of another show, my bad. And if it happened to be a show on Cartoon Network or something like that, I wouldn't know what it was because i don't get that channle.So yeah sorry about that.

Uh, if it was on Cartoon Network I missed it. Reboot was on Fox, if I'm not mistaken.

I always loved "The Archies" The older cartoons used to be lots of fun to watch but then they started bringing in all the power struggle stuff and fighting and violence so I lost interest in the newer junk. I always liked Flintstones and Jetsons oh yeah can't forget Scoobydoo. Always like Casper too. Tom & Jerry were always fun to watch and Roadrunner. Mighty Mouse was pretty popular. One of the funniest characters though was Precious Pup. GCJ

How about them Wacky Racers or Speed Racer? Those are some quality "back in the day" cartoons. I used to watch them all the time. Well, when I had Cartoon Network and now you can watch those old shows on Boomerang. That's an awesome channel to watch for Cartoons. Oh, and two of my all time favorites... Centuriens and Captain Planet.

What about Yogi Bear? Have we all forgoten about him? You also have Felix the Cat and Woody Woodpecker. Now those are some good old cartoons. And there's also Popeye, and Looney Tunes. Those were always the best.
