Name Some Cartoons you grew up with

Basically just name cartoons thar you considered a part of your childhood and remember fondly.

I have many, so I split them by channel I watched them on.

Teletoon:

Atomic Betty

Codename: Kids Next Door (one of my all-time favorite cartoons)

Roboroach

What's With Andy

My Dad The Rock Star

What About Mimi

Braceface

Totally Spies (my sister and I had a particular fondness for this show when we were little. We once missed the bus watching an episode and didnt care and used to pretend we were Clover and Sam (Me as clover, my sister as sam)

Oliver's Adventures (underappreciated. It was adorable and imaginative.)

The Tofus (admit it, their last name was pretty damn fitting)

Angela Anaconda

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends

My Gym Partner's A Monkey (I actually admit I still like this show)

YTV:

Jacob Two-Two (it's a kiddie show I would still watch today because of the adorable protagonist and the sheer canadianness)

Fairly Odd Parents

Being Ian

Family:

Fillmore

House of Mouse

Recess

Weekenders

Dave the Barbarian

Brandy and Mr. Whiskers

Proud Family

American Dragon Jake Long

Lilo and Stitch: The Series

Aladdin (the tv show, not the movie)

Emperor's New School

Pucca

I don’t even know anymore.

Cyberchase

Little Bear

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Kim Possible

Dave the Barbarian

Lilo And Stitch: The Series

Looking for some stories?

Toddler:

• Thomas And Friends (pretty much obsessed with this as a little kid, while at the same time being a little creeped out by it).
• The Dreamstone

Young Kid:

• Duck Tales
• Garfield And Friends
• Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog (Had a Megadrive, it was inevitable. Didn't really take to Satam till later on).

Pre Teen:

• The Simpsons (Had to wait till it came on UK terrestrial, as such I obsessed with finally seeing it. Worth it).
• Rug Rats
• Cow And Chicken

Teen/Adult:

• Family Guy (Initially anyway, it was the arguably the most hilarious cartoon I ever saw. Starting to lose interest however. The old episodes are still a joy to watch though).
• South Park (Still watch it obsessively more or less every night).
• American Dad (Same).

And now somehow I'm back to rewatching half of these shows along with other stuff like My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. And of course add in stuff like Looney Tunes for the "all around" period.

Hehe, I'm old compared to everyone else here so far (I'll be 29 in two months). Hence, I actually watched these shows when they premiered.

I'm just sticking to my pre-teen years, so this list encompasses pre-1995 shows (I mostly watched adult animation once I became a teen, anyways):

Adventures Of The Gummi Bears

Duck Tales

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers

Tale Spin

Darkwing Duck

Goof Troop

Garfield And Friends

Bobbys World

Muppet Babies

Alvin And The Chipmunks

Tiny Toon Adventures

Animaniacs

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Both Sonic cartoons

Beetlejuice

Inspector Gadget

I guess The Simpsons belongs on this list too, seeing as how I've been watching it since it premiered, when I was 6.

Oh man, Beetlejuice and Gummi Bears! Totally forgot.

O also somehow managed to forget one of my all-time favorites: Muppet Babies. Aderp!

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~Madrugada

Early on, I think I mostly just watched Garfield And Friends because some of the first books I read were Garfield. I also flipped over to other shows now and then. I know I caught Marsupilami (that name always bothered me as a kid since it sounded so much like at least 3 other words) and oddly, Mother Goose & Grimm.

My cousins exposed me to Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures, both of which I quickly grew to hate for many reasons. I've since come back around to liking TTA, but still despite Animaniacs. Another cousin also watched the Mario cartoons, both Sonic Cartoons and oddly, Samurai Pizza Cats, so I got a taste of that.

Oddly, I recall watching the Dumb & Dumber cartoon once in 1995 even though I'd never seen the movie.

Beyond that, I was mostly Nickelodeon from about 1995 onward. Except for a brief spell in 1997 when we switched to satellite, I didn't get Cartoon Network until around 1999-2000. I know I liked Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Mike Lu & Og, Dexter's Lab, and Powerpuff Girls, but wasn't too big on the rest. Then Nick started spamming Spongebob, and CN started spamming anime, so I wandered away from both. (Getting squicked out by Zim on the former didn't help.)

I don't recall watching the Disney stable at all, although mom says she recalls me watching Tale Spin. When we finally got Disney Channel, I know I caught it and Chip & Dale now and then, but for some reason I just had this hatred of all things Disney Channel at the time.

Every Hanna Barbera cartoon, ever. Especially the superhero ones.

Widget The World Watcher

Some In Name Only adaptation of Treasure Island (including such period-appropriate things as magical caves that curse you to speak backward)

The New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh

I can remember that I watched The Dreamstone, but I can't actually remember watching it.

Marsupilami

You are dazzled by my array of very legal documents.

I've watched, like, 90% of the shows already listed here. Also, the 90's Spiderman and X-men cartoons (and I'm currently re-watching X-men).

Also, one of my very first favorite shows was Dino-Riders. ^_^

~Ruby~

Transformers of course. The "Generation II" stuff with the unnecessary CGI thrown in. The fives faces of darkness got taped by my dad, and we practically wore it out. Along with a Batman two-parter that involved a renegade AI that was replacing people with robotic doubles. Was awesome.

The Bots Master was another big one. Caught that show whenever I could. So many explosions.

I really liked Gargoyles, but it was on a channel I didn't get so seeing it was a rare treat. Same deal with Bucky Ohare.

And of course the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their various ripoffs; Street Sharks, Biker Mice From Mars, Mummies Alive, The Mighty Ducks. And that one based on that toy you used to make rubber worms and scorpions and stuff.

I think the shows that didn't hold up the most for me was Spider Man which had such stilted animation that rewatching it as a teenager made me turn away in disgust. I still don't see what my little kid self saw in Rugrats. There weren't and monsters or mutants or robots or aliens in it at all!

Also Mighty Max. Shit was heavy.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!

@Count Dorku: Did it have anthros as characters (eg. a puppy as Jim and a fox as Silver) and an added Plucky Girl cat-thing? If so I think the show you're looking for is The Legend Of Treasure Island.

My memories of The Dreamstone (which was done by the same people) were vague as well until I looked it up again. I remember watching it devotedly, till I got into that 'cute Disney-type stuff sucks' phase. My memories of Inspector Gadget and Tale Spin are similar, even if the latter wasn't as much of a favorite as Duck Tales till later on.

Am I a good man or a bad man?

Oh, forgot about The Shoe People, had a VHS I ran of that ad nauseum. I think two of the other shows you discussed are Poddington Peas and Funnybones (yes, I'm sad enough to still remember all the stuff I watched in my preschool years). The Goofy cartoon is likely Goof Troop.

Have no idea what this "Boss Cat" show is. I had a VHS of Top Cat and Dastardly And Muttley though.

Transformers Armada is actually an anime (seemed the Japanese took to the franchise early 21st century). Out of topic, I'm surprised how much pre-Pokemon anime I watched as a kid, Ox Tales, Wowser, Samurai Pizza Cats.

@twentington i guess i could add garfield and friends to my list because my dad would always rent dvds of it when my sister and i were kids.

I don’t even know anymore.

@Psi: That is the one!

Other shows I can vaguely recall include Rubbish, King of the Jumble, which was about a delusional cat and has the most red text I've ever seen on a Wikipedia article; one that Google tells me was called What-a-Mess, and one that even Google couldn't help with, in which the majority of each episode's plot took place in one of those old clocks that told the weather by extending a little person in appropriate dress, and those people and a small kid were the main characters.

You are dazzled by my array of very legal documents.

Thanks for the names of those. I put anime in with the western cartoons because it's not a distinction I made back then, I didn't even know half of them were from Japan. *

I'm pretty sure the 6 anime's I mentioned were the only ones I watched before I reached 11, although I think I watched at least one Russian cartoon.

I recall the last series you mention. Can't think of the name though.

My list is really long. There are four more cartoons I've now thought of that I really loved but I couldn't edit them in without adding a dozen other ones I watched.

Am I a good man or a bad man?

All three of those shows ring a bell to me as well (though I remember What A Mess more as picture books in my school library). The last one I can't remember the actual name of either.

Oh, forgot The Animals Of Farthing Wood, remember watching that one, as well as collecting the magazines. I also remember it being a surprisingly morbid cartoon. It was ill sighted to ever grow attached to a character.

Poor hedgehogs ;_;

Oh! Just remembered. Twisted Tales of Felix The Cat. Also Babar. (All you really need to know about me is that my favourite character was the monkey.)

You are dazzled by my array of very legal documents.

I watched a lot of Garfield and Friends, Animaniacs, and Histeria.

Ah, I forgot about Taz-Mania. Shame, because it's a fun show.

I've always thought Animals Of Farthing Wood looked good, but it's hard to find. But thinking of slightly morbid, slightly artsy kid's shows, I forgot an absolute charmer of mine from my toddlerish (about 5 years old) years: David The Gnome. Such a charming show, even now!

I remember watching it's sequel, Wisdom Of The Gnomes though I can barely remember much outside the theme tunes and an episode with the trolls getting drunk.

Sort of ironic how Farthing Wood is sparsely released on DVD, it was so vastly distributed on VHS even the magazines started placing them with it.
