Ok, there! I admit it, I watch them. I dont just ‘let the kids watch them’.
I really like Batman, BatmanBeyond, Spiderman (that goes without saying) Gargoyles, X-Men, Digimon, Pokemon, Scooby Doo,Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Goof Troop, well…you get the picture.
My biggest fear is that the boys will out grow the shows I have come to love in favor of <shudder> the news!
Is there anyone else out there with a similar addiction?
Well, among my current favorite TV shows are “The Simpsons,” “Futurama,” “Daria” and “The Powerpuff Girls.”
Either the writing is superior, or I have entered my second childhood.
I recently became addicted to Dragonball Z on YTV… it’s like a bloody soap opera.
Kellibelli, you have a problem. Not only do you watch MANY cartoons, but many of the cartoons you watch are specifically demographic advertising cartoons (i.e. Pokemon, etc.). I suggest you curb the amout of television you watch, along with the amout (wow I just did that twice in a row… I’d fix it, but it’s such a coincidence) of time you spend on this board (unless, like me, you are doing it at work).
I love em. X-men, Spiderman, Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow & Chicken, The Simpsons, Powerpuff Girls, and of course classics like Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry. I love em all.
I like it here-can I stay?
And do you have a vacancy for a Back-scrubber?
KarmaComa…I cant beleive you watch dragon ball Z! Its the only cartoon I dont like!!
I didnt mention the simpsons because I figures it was a given…
psycat…dontch just love wolverine? So tortures, so in need of love… <ahem>
As for watching too much tv, there is no such thing as too much tv, tv is good, I love tv!
(as for the board, I lurk at work, post from home- usually. I am home early today due to a wicked snowstorm)
Another vote here for the Powerpuff Girls. I particularly like Mojo Jojo. I want to be one of his minions.
I’ve seen the Powderpuff Girls a couple of times. Pretty funny stuff.
I like X Men, Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond (hmmm, a pattern?), Futurama, The Simpsons, The Family Guy (Praise God! He has risen!), and South Park.
God, The Devil, And Bob looks interesting, too.
Of course, I’m something of a fan of Japenese animation, too (Transformers, Speed Racer, Akira, Riding Bean, ect).
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Kelli–you almost sound ashamed of your pasttime. Don’t be! Cartoons are one of the great artforms of the 20th century. Oh sure, back in the dark ages of the 1970’s, we had to suffer through “The Chan Clan”, “The Groovy Ghoulies”, “The Hair Bear Bunch”, and (puke!) “The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo.”
Fortune smiled on us, and eventually there came a renaissance in cartoons, almost reaching the peak of perfection that is Bugs Bunny. We got “Pinky and the Brain”, “Ren and Stimpy”, “Animaniacs”, “ReBoot”, “Batman: Beyond”, “Bob and Margaret”, “The Simpsons”, “Futurama”, and so many more. It’s almost enough to make up for the curse of “Pokemon” (almost, that is).
So please, won’t you join me, in spirit if not in person, this Saturday morning at 8 a.m. EST? Time for “The Batman/Superman Adventures”! Maybe later we can catch “The Angry Beavers” or “Spongebob Squarepants”, or “The Powerpuff Girls.”
Oooh! Oooh! I almost forgot to mention The Tick, The Critic, and Duckman!
God bless you, Comedy Central!
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Wow. I would expect some support for Dragonball, especially in a computer geek forum like this (no offense).
OK I did mean offense, I just said that so I wouldn’t sound like an asshole
kelli- yep, Wolverine is dreamy.
I don’t care much for Dragonball Z, but I don’t care much for Anime anyway. I like comedy, I think, more than action, something X-men and Spiderman are able to blend, actually.
Some others I remembered, Hong Kong Phooey, Justice League of America, Josie and the Pussycats, The Jetsons, Flinstones.
SpaceGhost coast to coast cracks me up.
I like it here-can I stay?
And do you have a vacancy for a Back-scrubber?
Dragonball? The original series or Dragonball sigh Z?
Dragonball was hilarious.
Dragonball Z is rather lame. The show drags on and on and on and on. I mean they purposefully have little actually happen in each episode. I watched in full (sure proof that yes I have been kicked in the head WAY too many times) the Goku vs. Freiza battle. It was what, 12-20 episodes long? Many of the episodes ended the exact same way the previous one ended, the tide being turned against one of them (usually Goku) only for it to be turned again at the end. And then finish the episode with the two about to unleash their most deadly attack yet at each other. The “spirit bomb” sequence was what THREE episodes before the thing finally hit?
Not that I hold anything against people who do watch it and enjoy it but being a fan of Dragonball I was hoping for something a bit better.
My brother got me hooked on Dragonball Z, KarmaComa, though I admit that 95% of the time I don’t know what the hell is going on. I enjoy a little anime in general from time to time.
I also love Arthur, the PBS cartoon about an aardvark, but rarely see it because for some strange reason it’s usually on when I’m at work… like it’s aimed at kids, go figure. On a good day off, though, considering that in my neighborhood we get two different PBS stations, I can watch it twice! Whoo Hoo!
The Simpsons, The Critic, old Warner Brothers cartoons-- count me in for those as well.
Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa…
Arthur makes me retch.
Yes, I do agree that Dragonball Z drags on and on and on. Yesterday Freeza did the second transformation against Piccolo… we’re still waiting for Goku to get out of the healing chamber… I tell you, it WOULD be a lot better if I just had all the episodes commercial free in a row on tape… oh well. There’s something to be said for the self-imposition of scheduled catatonia I suppose.
Nothing to be ashamed about! Walk proud, talk proud! Chances are each of us has a line from the cartoon that makes us LOL. (“Yoiks…and away!”) When in doubt. Sing:
“Overture, curtain, lights,
This is it, we’ll hit the heights…”
As for my own guilty pleasure:
Johnny Bravo!
My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny.
Was that?? Nah couldnt be…IT WAS!!
GUY PROPSKI!!
Where ya been man? I just knew you wouls all remember to name the ones I missed.
I like it when Superman and Batman were both hot for Lois…that was cool.
Saturday mornings at our house are Fox Kids mostly with some WB thrownin to cover for “godzilla” and a couple of other weak spots in the lineup.
I love saturday mornings.
I love cartoons too!!
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Oh, so this is where Cartoonaholics Anonymous hangs out! I’m a charter member.
If I were to list ALL of the cartoons I have watched (and still do), I’d probably break the record for longest single post!
A few not mentioned above:
Men in Black
Star Trek Animated
Bump in the Night (claymation)
The PJs
EVERY Disney feature film and most of the shorts
Popeye
The entire Terrytoons collection: (Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, etc.)
King of the Hill
The entire Harveytoons collection (Herman & Katnip, Casper, Baby Huey, etc)
Star Blazers (anime in the 70s, which some say was an influence on Star Wars)
And last, but most certainly not least: Rocky and Bullwinkle (with an honorable mention for George of the Jungle)
I could go on and on and on…
When all else fails, ask Cecil.
I don’t watch anything on TV regularly, but if I happen upon it, I will watch Dexter’s Laboratory every time. That is the best cartoon ever made IMHO. I’ll also watch Daria and Scooby Doo if I see 'em while flipping around. Shaggy’s the bomb.
Mike Mulligan had a steam shovel,
a beautiful red steam shovel.
Her name was Mary Anne.
Here goes my favorite <AHEM> Animated Programs!
See, I don’t watch that much!
Where’s my side of FUN!?
Kisses!
