90s were the best years for cartoons. Now they just SUCK!

my favorite cartoon used to be The Real Ghostbusters. I just found out the other week that it came out on DVD finally, so I picked it up!! It's awesome to be able to relive these classic episodes, especially since today's cartoons have dropped so much in quality. Tons of cool special features too.

anything with 'the animated series' after i enjoyed.

the video game cartoons were hilariously bad (captain n, super mario, sonic, zelda)

i don't know if it's included but sonic, the animated series (i think it might have been called the adventures of sonic or something) was awesome. the one with the blue streak opening. the rest sucked.

sonic has always seemed to have a conflicting personality if you ask me.

He doesn't seem to be a complex enough character to be able to be quick and rude, as the song would suggest, and be the responsible role model character that he plays when tails is introduced.



my favorite cartoon is road rovers by far though.

Ren & Stimpy, even though I did not understand a damn thing that was going on I liked it for some reason. Some of Stimpy's lines are still stuck in my head but my absolute favorite episode was a space one where they were in some kinda weird warped dimension and Ren was losing his sanity.

Bump in the Night (if this counts, does clay animations count?), that two eyed purple spotted bed monster I found hilarious, though the turkey-saurous-robot one creeped me out and the one time the sleeping kid wakes up and was a cucumber scared me.

Samurai Jack, this one is an oldie and all the ones you find now are just reruns, this one was surprisingly deep despite how action and B-rated it was at times. My favorite character of all time the machine gun legged Scotsman.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

I am really glad they repeated The Trap Door when I was young. :)

Aside from stuff that has already been mentioned - The Tick.

As an honorable mention, Galtar and the Golden Lance.

lol that's like the least james bond looking dude ever

also all the 90's action cartoons look really bad now like I think even high-profile top-drawer stuff like fucking NINJA TURTLES would be like, hard to even sit through a single episode anymore

I think people have to remember that at that age there's a chance you never even saw stuff like A CONSTRUCTION SITE or THE ORIENT or UPSCALE RESTAURANT before so obviously the writers/animators are going to seem like total geniuses

yeah you pretty much have to get through every animal/dinosaur too, I mean imagine how easy making one of these cartoons is if you have a talking dog in there you'll probably get a trillion viewers instantly

the old Nickelodeon cartoons do seem kind of interesting though, I do plan on watching Rocko's Modern Life again sometime so I can catch all the dirty jokes and see if it's funnier as a show for adults

I forget when Rocko's Modern Life got cancelled but I remember the last year they changed the restaurant from Chokey Chicken to Chewy Chicken

also I need to do the same thing with old Simpsons episodes, although I think I was pretty ok as long as it wasn't a sex/random celebrity you don't know as a kid joke, oh and I wouldn't have realized that Otto was a druggie and if anyone was gay/lesbian and any Jewish jokes, and the whole Apu/Quickie-Mart thing I think I thought he was black ok

but everything that's left after that I probably got

did I mention I always liked the absolute druggiest cartoon possible that was around at the time, like it's not a cartoon per se but I loved Pee-Wee's Playhouse and uh STICKIN AROUND (ask Marcus we had an in-depth discussion about childhood cartoons a while back) like even specific stuff I remember like I liked the episode of the Simpsons with the Guatemalan Insanity Peppers

My favorite simpson ep was when bart burn the butterfinger wrapper and it made the franchise to stop using Bart as their propaganda icon...classic. Those guys lost millions on purpose...hahaha....you should download that ep dude, or just go to wtso.net...
