Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
Wtf no one said TOM&JERRY??
I was about to type about tom and jerry lmao
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.
Dungeons & Dragons is such a classic. I still watch it on occasion.
The Tick.
I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.
I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.
SpongeBob. The early seasons were and still are god-tier
Invader zim
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
Robotech
Jem and the Holograms
Danger Mouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
The Jetsons
David the Gnome
Marsupilami
Came here to say David the Gnome, just rewatched it recently and loved it. Never met someone else in real life who has ever seen it.
Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
The new she-ra is rad.
totally
This shouldn't be the answer because it's not really for kids. But it is, and will always be, The Simpsons.
Every evening at 6pm on UPN I would watch the Simpsons with my dad. I went from watching and understanding Bart to now watching with my daughter and seeing it through Homer's eyes.
Goof Troop
TaleSpin
Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.
Starblazers
Arabian Nights. The adventures, Jeenie, Magic carpet, Abu, and everything was awesome.
I have a soft spot for Hey Arnold! and Rugrats... If I had to pick one from another but Nick that would be Courage The Cowardly Dog.
Saber Rider and the star sherrifs
Galaxy rangers
Underdog, Batfink and Karate, Rocky and Bullwinkle
Batfink was a favorite of mine too! First time I've seen it mentioned out in the wild.
I loved Rocky & Bullwinkle! Before my time but we had so many VHSes.
Tiny Toon Adventures, then Animaniacs.
Kinda giving away my age, but Animaniacs was right around the time I just started appreciating characters such as Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.
90 minutes of Looney Tunes.
Rugrats Marsupilami Spider-Man Gargoyles
Not tv cartoons, but cartoons either way: Mortadelo y FilemΓ³n AstΓ©rix
My all time favorite was Robotech, though it has not aged well.
I also went through a lot of Disney in my youth:
And then there was the smattering of others:
South east Asia:
Voltes V
Mazinger Z
Daimos
Macross
Transformers
Thunder cats
Mask
Dino riders
As a kid in the '70s, all the cartoons on Wednesday afternoons kids matinee...Vicky the Viking, Maya the Bee, Heidi, Remi, Pink Panther & Hong Kong Phooey.
Avatar The Last Airbender. Iβm in my early 30s and do a rewatch almost every year.
Thundercats original series, and the original Dungeons & Dragons.
Samurai Pizza Cats. My grandma would have tapes of it so whenever I went over to my grandma's house, chances are this show would be playing at some point haha. The episode I remember the most is the one with the dragon.
Doraemon
This is a very big franchise in Asia but rarely mentioned in the west, so let me introduce it to (most of) you :>
Doraemon is a robot cat from the 22nd century who has gone back in time to help a kid named Nobita. He has a lot of wacky gadgets to offer. Each episode is basically a story about one of these gadgets. They also pump out a new movie every year.
Professor Kitzel.
Mighty Orbots, just for the theme song alone. Now that I think about it I will have that song stuck in my head all day.
I was a fan of Jonny Quest, the banana splits although that wasnt strictly a cartoon nor was Sigmund the sea monster and hr pufnstuf
Once I turned 10: SpongeBob and the Simpsons
Before that: everything, including Pokémon, GummyBears, Darkwing Duck, I am Weasel, recess⦠I just loved everything!
Imma bend the rules:
Thunderbirds.
So many... The earliest cartoon I remember loving was The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was incredibly cozy. Then I discovered Cartoon Cartoons, especially Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and Dexter's Laboratory with their throwback art styles, and got obsessed with those for a while.
Eventually SpongeBob came out and became my personality, because he was basically an annoying kid trying his best to be friends with everyone like I was. (It's played out now, it wasn't back then.)
ETA how did I not mention classic Looney Tunes. Before we had cable I was really into the classics.
Probably Teen Titans
