The edds. Can't believe no one has mentioned this.

Catchy theme song.

when i was little i enjoyed watching cartoons from the 1940's to the 1990's.

Mighty Mouse was the cheesenit. And the Superman shorts by Max Fleischer were ahead of its time.

Also, I find your avatar quite appropriate to the topic at hand, pacgamer89. Loved the Centurions growing up.

You hit 2 of my favorites.  I assume we might be in the same age group :)


I grew up on the Powerpuff girls, courage, grim adventures of billy and mandy, ed, edward and also eduardo, and dexter's labratory,  scooby doo in my real young years. 


On the nickelodeon spectrum, I binged Spongebob, Jimmy Nuetron and Timmy Turn Fairly Odd Parents. 




My top 5 favorite cartoons growing up


This list will definitely differ from all time because as a teen I began to like Family Guy and South Park but i'm talking soley little kid era here :D



1. Spongebob Rectangular Prism Pants




Spongebob defined my childhood and taught me more than any teacher. It represented life struggles, life lessons, complex intricate dry humor along with a cast of characters that is rivaled by almost no other show.  In it's prime (seasons 1-8) it may very well be the greatest cartoon ever made. It's simply god tier in a sense it can entertain any age group.  As an adult I can still put on the spongebob seasons and I always find a new joke I always missed before.  It's complex, it's unique and it has incredible stories. 


2. The Simpsons




Like I said earlier, I hit my full Simpsons stride at around 10-12. And might not have fully become a fanatic as a young kid,  But I was always a huge fan and always allowed to watch it. I had all the games and figures.  No show was as consistent and balanced in it's innovations in the adult cartoon genre.  And although it was a little risky for parents to allow young kids to watch, most adults can find pure blissful humor disguised as real life issues that are both relatable and amusing due to the hyperbole the show uses to convey the messages interlaced within the story telling.  The writers for the Simpsons were truly on another level and paved the way. 


3. Fairly Odd Parents




I just sat for a minute wondering who I could possibly put at the 3rd spot between Courage, Jimmy Nuetron ect...  it's so hard :).  But for some reason when I was a kid I loved this show most.  Fairly Odd Parents was just awesome to me as a kid.  It was good until the baby came along and it started getting played.  The concept of a boy who can have any wish was also fun to watch.   One major flaw was the "fairy rule book" which was silly because it stopped Timmy Turner from bringing pac back to life :(


Jimmy Neutron




Jimmy Nuetron was educational, funny and also had complex characters and plot telling.  I rememeber liking it fondly although it's been so long since I've watched it :)


Grim Adventures of Robert and Melinda




I always loved the art style and creepy vibe of the villains, plot and characters of GAOBAM.  I loved the character dynamic and it was definitely a unique show and stood out among all the amazing shows.  Although if I thought more Powerpuff girls or Courage would probably win this spot :)



It's so hard to pick.  So many amazing childhood classics. :D


As an Adult the list is.

1. Spongebob
2. Family Guy
3. Simpsons
4. South Park
5. Fairy Odd Parents

I was born in 1984, so I took in a ton of late '80s though '90s stuff.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was an early favorite. I was obsessed with Nintendo and to me Lou Albano played the perfect Mario. They had wacky live action skits mixed with animated segments. On Fridays it became an animated Legend of Zelda show too!

Lots of others too:

Heathcliff
Dennis the Menace
Inspector Gadget
Transformers
GI Joe
TMNT
Mega Man animated series
Duck Tales
Goof Troop
Animaniacs
old Looney Tunes and Disney shorts
Sailor Moon
Ranma 1/2
Batman Animated Series
The Simpsons

Probably lots of others I'm forgetting  ;D

I seen some of mostly all  the cartoons already listed by others, in short I seen a ton of different cartoons, I seen just about every single "The Simpsons" cartoon ever made I think. but I quit watching "The Simpsons when every single episode on TV was the same thing over and over.

I used to watch Dragon Ball Z every day after school. Mostly during the cartoon network 1st Freza era on cartoon network. then the Cell era came. But I stopped watching DBZ when they started showing the bue or boo episodes. on weekends on cartoon network cable channel.

My least favorite Dragon Ball Z villain is boo, that pink blob. fighting a pink blob I thought was too immature to watch. I think it was the first episode boo came a villain on I stopped watching for a long time.

I was born in the late 1980's, and in my younger years it was watching mostly Disney movies, (Mostly cartoons) But even at a young age I didn't like the singing events of the Disney cartoons. Still don't understand why they were in just about every single Disney cartoon ever made.

Does anyone not like most the singing events in Disney cartoon movies or am I the only one? I did like all the lion king though
