I like a lot of the cartoons on Cartoon Network. I’m also a huge fan of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Ed, Edd and Eddie.
BUTTERED TOOOAST! 
Definitely seconding Samurai Jack! Also Justice League, Teen Titans, and that Xmen show (though I haven’t seen it on CN lately…) Old WB cartoons still crack me up, as do Tom & Jerry still.
:eek: Your will must’ve been broken! Quick, go buy the Beast Wars DVDs and re-learn what a good Transformers show is!
I think that originally aired as one of a group of cartoons that people could call in and vote for; whichever got the most votes was made into a series. The cartoon you describe (I can’t remember the name either) was my favorite. The “Sacred Cow” character was my favorite!
I also like watching the Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Spongebob Squarepants, and Ren & Stimpy. I still have a few episodes of Ren & Stimpy on VHS from when it was running on Nickelodeon.
I am the oldest person I know who watches the Dragonball series. Maybe it’s pathetic, but I still think it’s cool.
Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob SquarePants and Jimmy Neutron.
Brilliant, all three of them. So many lines and references are wated on children.
Fortunately, though, it keeps them quiet all the same.
I don’t know that I would watch them by myself - I don’t watch a lot of TV - but when my kids are having quiet time and want me to sit with them, we watch:
- Powerpuff Girls - really funny
- Dexter’s Lab - also great
- Teen Titans - actually pretty good; I like Raven’s deadpan delivery
- Totally Spies - don’t like it - no grown-up “in” jokes
- Billy and Mandy - don’t like it - can’t get past the whole Death thing
- Kids Next Door - not bad
- Bugs Bunny - everyone’s favorite - including mine.
Bottom line is that there must be an undercurrent of adult-inflected humor involved. If not, I just read the book I have with me while the kids sit on my lap…
It’s not like I tune in regularly, but I will watch Arthur and The Proud Family when nothing else is on.
I liked the Cartoon Network when most of the cartoons it featured were older. In college I’d tune into the noontime hour of Smurfs. They also showed Thundercats. Late night, I’d watch Popeye and Josie and the Pussycats. But once I started grad school, the programming became newer and thus not as good. I only watch the CN now for the first hour of adult swim.
Someday Cobra will beat G.I. Joe, someday…
I’m ashamed at the lack of Scooby Doo responses!
Unfortunately I don’t have cable so my toon watching is extremely limited.
I did love Clone High, Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Lab though.
Joan is quite hot.
Did they manage to not put the Beast Wars shows on the DVDs, then? Otherwise, I’d think what you have on your hands there is maybe the worst cartoon in existence.
While I’ll admit the first season of Beast Wars started a little rough, I have to say the rest of your post is bordering on heresy…
Sooo many.
Sailor Moon (for the plot. Seriously!)
Pokémon
Static Shock
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Megaman NT Warrior
Teen Titans
Justice League
Danny Phantom
Fairly Odd Parents
The list goes on and on. By the way Tara Strong and Phil LaMar are to cartoons what Kevin Bacon is to movies.
I may be the oldest person in the world who often have the theme song for the new Digimon series running through her head. AND, I know all the words. I forgot to include it in my earlier list. Last night Zoe finally got her beast spirit. When she transformed, I exclaimed, “Oh, cool!” then I had to look around and make sure my 6 yo was still in the room…I am such a geek!
Could be. Of course currently she had this huge crush on super-jock Thompson.
“Kim Possible” give me an erection. Is that wrong?
I’m not unaware of Beast Wars. I love it. I just…don’t hate Energon. I USED to, but then I ended up watching a couple episodes waiting for Teen Titans and it grew on me. Like a fungus.
Why can’t Death sound like he’s from Jamaica? I hate the show for the most part, but I always thought that was a cool idea - if only he sounded more like your average reggae singer and less like Sebastian from Little Mermaid. I don’t know enough to say that his accent sounds fake, but I’m really betting that it does.
Otherwise, everybody else already named the good stuff. Except…Mad Jack the Pirate!
You and several thousand other geeks out there. 
(Not me, but I’m sure they’re out there…)
When visiting my son and grandkids, I spent a fair amount of time watching cartoons with the boys (sometimes joined by granddaughter Amanda, who’s outgrowing cartoons).
The boys like Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, the Fairly Odd Parents, Spongebob, Dexter’s Lab, and Jimmy Neutron, and formerly were fond of Rugrats.
One of the funniest things I’ve seen in recent years was a two-hour special of the Fairly Odd Parents in which Timmy ends up shipped into the cable company’s TV complex of channels, in pursuit of an e-mail he didn’t intend to send and of the Evil Babysitter – each channel being a recognizable parody of one of several decades worth of cartoons, from Tom and Jerry through the Flintstones to Teen Titans and Pokemon. It was so well written that an intelligent child would find it funny but an adult catching the references would also enjoy it both for humor and as homage to the animation industry – brilliant piece of work. I watched it with the boys thinking that I’d be bored by their cartoon but would at least be sharing something with them – my grandson Brandon and I were swapping guesses about what cartoons would be parodied next before it was over, and enjoying it immensely.
I pretty much what my daughter is into.
-Ed, Edd, and Eddie. Ed cracks me up “Whoop, there it goes…my brain stopped.”
-Samurai Jack
-Fairly OddParents
-Justice League
-Jackie Chan
Spongebob is good occasionally as is Jimmy Neutron, though the Jimmy Neutron movie bored both me and my daughter into stopping it. I used to watch Batman and Batman Beyond when they were on and would gladly pony up for a dvd set when they come out, as I did for the huge Looney Tunes boxed set.
