The ones I definitely watch whenever I can: - Family Guy Ren & Stimpy The Ripping Friends The Tick Futurama The Flimpsons (you know the episode…) South Park Batman: Beyond Spiderman (Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can. Can he fly? Well, no.) \* God bless the cartoon network! ---

Most Looney Toons and Merry Melodies, except for the early Bugs Bunny cartoons (he seems too much like the early Daffy Duck in those.) Personally, I like the later Daffy more. “I can’t help it! I’m a greedy slob! Its my hobby! Save me!” ---

In no particular order: Simpsons Futurama King of the Hill Looney Toons Ren and Stimpy South Park The Tick Freakazoid Johnny Bravo Courage the Cowardly Dog (anyone else think the latest season sucks?) Spongebob Squarepants Animaniacs Duckman I’m sure there are others that I can’t think of at the moment. And I can’t believe that no one has mentioned… Beavis and Butthead! (heh heh heh) ---

Hmmm, although I’m ashamed to admit that I still enjoy cartoons, I’ll bite anyway: Batman: The Animated Series, especially the early episodes. The Simpsons, of course. Sailor Moon. Yeah, the dialogue is incredible lame, but I love the underlying storyline. Arthur and Friends. One of the few good children’s cartoons. Digimon, the first two seasons. Would be alomst perfect if it weren’t for the fact that half the show is spent watching the characters transform. ---

Well I’m a big fan of **The Simpsons** and **Futurama**. I try to regularly watch: **Batman Beyond** **Justice League** **Jackie Chan Adventures** **Samurai Jack** **Dragonball Z** (though I think I’m not gonna invest in watching one they finish up the Buu saga) Other Good cartoons that I usually don’t get around to are: **Powerpuff Girls** **Dexter’s Lab** (only the older episodes) **Spongebob Squarepants** **X-Men: Evolution** **Batman: TAS** **Dragonball** **Grim & Evil** **Sealab 2021** **Home Movies** **Harvey Birdman** **Invader Zim** I’ve lost interest **South Park** and **Pokemon** , and for some reason I found **Family Guy** and **The Tick** to only be mildly amusing. I wish they’d make more **Batman Beyond** or make that rumored live action movie. And give me my fix of **Eltingville**. That show is pure genius. ---

I was watching _Justice League_, but stopped. I’ll probably pick it up again in the summer during rerun season. I loved _Invader Zim_. A curse on Nickelodeon for deciding to stop making it. You’re still using Zim in your promos though, aren’t you, you bastards! Looney Tunes, of course. Wacky Daffy is so much better. My favorite is the one where he’s the “moustache fiend.” That just sounds dirty. _Sealab 2021_ and some Adult Swim anime are weekly favorites. ---

**Jackie Chan Adventures** It’s one of the two shows I watch on a fairly regular basis. I like the artwork, the characters, and the storyline’s aren’t all that bad. ---

Most of my favs are no longer on the air 90’s Spidey Freakazoid Earthworm Jim The Tick 80’s Transformers (Has anyone seen the new one? EEK. I think I spent an hour trying to explain to my 8 year old why MY TF’s was better than HIS. _sigh_ I’m headed to the DVD store this weekend) The world stops when the Simpsons comes on. I usually miss Futurama & Family Guy (absent minded), but I love these shows as well. Then the usuals - Batman Beyond (my fav super hero/action cartoon), PowerPuff Girls, Batman, Spongebob… Caught an episode of Baby Blues & was pleasantly surprised. Thought it would be watered down comic strip fare (Garfield, anyone?) and found myself laughing all the way through. ---

> [@](#): > > _ **Tygr** asked:_ > Why am I practically the only one that loves Ed, Edd & Eddie? 'course, I watch it solely for Ed. Although it didn’t make my “top” list, it’s definitely second-tier–I watch it 'cause my son loves it. My 5-yr old son who, by the way, loves Ed and can do a remarkably dead-on impersonation of him, to wit: “Buttered Toast!” “Ketchup!” and my personal fave: “Soft and cuddly like mashed potatoes!” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Osiris \* > \*\* > > Ahh, the joys of squigglevision. They don’t play it. I haven’t seen it in years, but it was funny! \*\* **Home Movies** , on Cartoon network is made by the same people as **Dr. Katz** and has a quite similar sense of humor. In fact it’s the funniest thing on cartoon network. Since I’m here, I’ll admit to liking: **Samurai Jack Justice League Powerpuff Girls Tenchi Muyo** _First two series_ **Cowboy Bebop Spongebob Squarepants** … and of course any **Loony Tunes** made before the '60s. ---

My husband and I are currently addicted to: Dragonball Z Dragonball Samurai Jack Justice League Powerpuff Girls Invader Zim (I already miss Grrrrr) ☹ Futurama The Simpsons (although it’s been getting pretty lame lately) I miss The Critic and the former Batman/Superman hour, which was replaced by Batman Beyond. BBeyond got lame when every show seemed to be an allegory about kids doing drugs. My husband and I take our cartoons _way_ too seriously, especially Dragonball Z. ---

I’ll watch pretty much any cartoons that are on, although I don’t understand the attraction of **Ed, Ed and Eddy**. One question, though. At least one person in this thread, and others on the board have mentioned that their kids watch **Samurai Jack** , which I feel is the most explicitly violent show on TV right now. Which is one of the reasons I love it. But how old are these kids that watch it? I’m not sure I’d want an eight-year-old tuning in. ---

At lunch today, I was mentioning to someone that the only shows that I watch are either cartoons or sports. The cartoons that I go out of my way to watch are: The Simpsons. Family Guy. Samurai Jack. Justice League. Futurama. Cartoons that, if they are on, I’ll watch: Spongebob Squarepants. Batman Beyond. Dexter’s Lab. Southpark. Batman: TAS Cartoons that I wish were still on: The Tick. Duckman. Earthworm Jim. Star Trek. Pink Panther. ---

The best cartoon never was **Science Court** (forget about Squigglevision and the other nonsense). After all these years, Hanna Barbera actually made some great cartoons in **Powerpuff Girls** and **Dexter’s Laboratory**. ---
