As I've said countless times, The Brothers Flub. I just don't know how anything that was on Nick in the 90s could have completely escaped anyone's memory. I've talked to dozens of people over the years, and almost no one seems to even remember it. I have fond memories of watching it, and nostalgia aside, I see nothing bad about it.
Also, Birdz, a short-lived CBS show from 1998. It had an obscure time slot and it seems that, though many people remember many of the other late 90s Saturday morning toons — even obscurities like Flying Rhino Junior High — Birdz slipped through the cracks. It's a shame too, since it's one of the few I've ever seen that can deliver an Aesop per episode and not seem hamfisted or forced about it.
Speaking of Flying Rhino, its creator made a cartoon for the kids' clubs at Mills Corporation shopping malls in the early 2000s. It's called Get Muggsy. I have it and I've even uploaded it on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s09avWvkx4
Finally, I found something called "Li'l Creepers" at a thrift shop once. There's a small clip of it on You Tube, but beyond that I can barely find any info on it at all.

No. The Brothers Flub (which I created the page on both here and at Wikipedia — it had 3 prior wikipedia articles, but they were all vandalism) had characters named Guapo, Fraz, Tarara Boomdeyay, Valerina and I think Squish. Guapo and Fraz were alien brothers who worked as intergalactic couriers. Guapo was sort of a Fat Idiot who loved eating guacamole, and Fraz was more of a panicky type who said "doom" a lot.
Oohh Asis sounds familiar. Was it released as a 3DS download as Oscar's Oasis? That was pretty decent.
The Dreamstone seems to be one that only brings up dim memories at best with others here. Though it makes sense since it wasn't imported much outside the UK, and even there has been more or less forgotten about. It's companies successor Bimble's Bucket is probably even less known.

I've got one
Zixx. It was one of those live-action/animated hybrid shows, sort of like what Code Lyoko: Evolution's gonna do. It was this weird plot of an alien cop chasing bad guys to Earth, and there was this weird parallel reality that was like a videogame (Apparently, the first season it WAS, or more technically a machinima). Also, the second and third seasons had animation by Mainframe, so it counts. Right?
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the GreatToo many to mention (who would've guessed?) here are just a few

Will Kwak Kwak. It's a Welsh cartoon, apparently, but I mostly know it because it was my favorite freakin' thing ever when I was like four. But it doesn't even have a page here, and nobody else ever seems to remember it.
I also rented a lot of weird stuff from the video store down the street when I was a wee one, and it ended up introducing me to a lot of strange and obscure things. One that always stuck with me was A Journey Through Fairyland. I think it was a French-Japan production, so it's all Animesque. It's got some seriously trippy, music-based imagry, kind of like a more... plot-y Fantasia.
Also—it's Korean, so it doesn't quite fit here or the Anime board, but Michel. I made the page for it and populated it almost single-handedly. Although the English dub is kind of awkward, it has some good episodes that genuinely give the feels, and awesome monster designs.
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaI recall the show Pinwheel from the early days of Nickelodeon; it had a number of animated elements on it, one of which was a stop-motion affair where everyone was an anthropomorphic hat, the lead character of which was a sombrero whose sidekick was a donkey named Carrots. It had another cartoon about a little boy whose chalkboard drawings inhabited a world of their own, the first installment of which had them kidnapping him to their world 'cuz he had a habit of leaving his drawings unfinished (so you had folks walking around without arms, legs, heads, etc). The much more recent Chalk Zone had a similar premise, but this one was from the early '80's and, I think, was of English origin.
Cubix: Robots for Everyone? I remember that show as being visually appealing, but not much else about it. I also remember seeing some (leftover?) merchandising for it well after it had vanished from the air in my area, which always seems a little sad to me. It's like when you see some fast-food chain using licensed characters from a show you know isn't terribly popular for their kids meals. You just feel a little bit embarrassed for them...
Like Hardee's doing The Brothers Flub toys. I also remember seeing Time Squad toys at Subway once, and I think other CN properties too.
Okay, I have to mention this, since it involves your name, and it's even tangentially related to this thread. When I was in grade school, we watched an animated film strip once about Greek mythological figures, and the one I remember best was about Pan, mostly because of the song that played during it, which had the line "Great God Pan/ One half goat, the other half ma-an."
They had Time Squad toys at Subway?!?
Anyway, I remember Cubix. I even used to have a racing game for it on the PS1.
The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!(Oh my god! I remember 'Birdz' and I loved 'Flying Rhino Junior High'! 'Zixx' was also awesome!)
As for shows I don't think anyone has heard of remembers:
'Delta State', 'Redwall', 'Creepschool', 'Skydancers', 'Ultimate Book of Spells', 'Eckhart','Stickin' Around', 'Monster By Mistake', 'Captain Star' and 'Rupert'.
(there was also a small show called 'Three Little Sisters'/'Les Trois Petites Soeurs' that I loved as a little kid, but I can only find the opening in French.)

A thread about Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Cartoon shows that you have watched which have turned out to be really rare or unknown. I'll start with some of my own.
And you? Do you know about any other obscure cartoons that we should know about?
