Wren and Stimpy?
They were too weird for me in my early teens, I first got them years later.
Wtf no one said TOM&JERRY??
I used to watch a lot of Boomerang in Latin America, they aired either OG Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry for 1 hour daily
The background art in the early ones was beautiful.
I had a love/hate relationship with that show because I felt so sorry for Tom. Kept watching it though so clearly it did something right.
Reboot
It may not be the answer I gave at the time, but it's the best balance now of "liked it as a kid" and "like it as an adult"
I'm terrified of rewatching it and it not living up to my nostalgia.
A documentary was released on the show last month. During production they were given the original master tapes for the show and have been slowly releasing all of the episodes in glorious 4k for free on YouTube. Check them out - they hold up to nostalgia better than you'd expect.
Alphanumeric!
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It's called ReBoot Rewind.
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
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.
Invader zim
90 minutes of Looney Tunes.
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.
I used to love catching this on a TV channel early in the morning before having to go out to the school bus stop.
Goof Troop
TaleSpin
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
Underdog, Batfink and Karate, Rocky and Bullwinkle
I loved Rocky & Bullwinkle! Before my time but we had so many VHSes.
Batfink was a favorite of mine too! First time I've seen it mentioned out in the wild.
Starblazers
Saber Rider and the star sherrifs
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.
Transformers, robotech, thunder cats, M.A.S.K, starcom.
For a shameless toy commercial cartoon, MASK had a pretty slappin intro theme
Johnny Bravo
Imma bend the rules:
Thunderbirds.
Thundercats original series, and the original Dungeons & Dragons.
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.
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.
Hong Kong Phooey holds a weird place in my brain. Like, I love it, but not for any good reason.
Europe I suppose?
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
Starblazers
Robotech
Battle of the Planets
Dinosaucers
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Havenβt thought about Harlock for decades, thanks for the reminder! I never saw Dinosaucers but the rest were ace.
Between the Lions. There were far too many Dad puns for my little brain to handle. It broke me
For pure nostalgia, the answer would be Franklin.
For the wacky antics it'd definitely be a tie between Ed Edd n' Eddy and Codename Kids Next Door. What other shows can you get a cursed telephone that causes suffering and an elevator made of junk that leads to the moon for EEnE? Or for KND have a whole zoo filled with kids as the exhibits so childless parents can throw peanuts at them while also having an episode where a man who looks like a baby use his cigar to connect to a global satellite web to try and turn everyone else into babies?
Garfield and Friends
Blues clues
Bamse β vΓ€rldens starkaste bjΓΆrn!
I used to be scared of Tintin for some reason, but loved to sit around watching it.
Professor Kitzel.
What happened to Tazmanian Devil?
Do you mean Taz Mania or the original Taz shorts (Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies)?
