Tom & Jerry, Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls.
I feel so sorry for kids watching Cartoon Network these days, their cartoons suck now.

Re: Your favourite childhood cartoon
I like looney toons, Tom & Jerry and Disney's Mickey Mouse of course!
Coincidental timing - I was just thinking about how a lot of my favorite cartoons had such adult messages in them.
On Doug, his principal's name was Buttsavage. :rotflmao:

Whatever was on on Saturday mornings. It didn't seem to matter what was on. I sat through some good ones - the WB stuff was golden, as was Rocky and Bullwinkle - and some utterly horrible ones. The Godzilla cartoon, the Fantastic Four (with Herbie the Robot instead of the Human Torch), the Oddball Couple, Meatballs and Spaghetti, and even more obscure ones (deservedly so). I was young, dumb, and loved the input.
Sheesh, no body mentions Bugs Bunny, or his cast of characters. Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety, Wile E. Cayote. Those were the best cartoons.

All time favorite are Looney Tunes, especially anything with Bugs Bunny. Tom and Jerry, Pink Panther and The Flinstones are really fantastic too.

Re: Your favourite childhood cartoon
The old Warner Bros. cartoons are still the best. Coyote vs Roadrunner: so violent and totally hilarious! Scooby Doo was fun, too.

Re: Your favourite childhood cartoon
Speaking of Scooby Doo, I miss Archie's Weird Mysteries. Sonic and tails are one of my favorites too. Dr Willy can never win against tricky Sonic haha. (But he did get a lot stronger in the future version of Sonic and his 2 other sibling)

Hey Arnold taught me so many values growing up. It's one of the only cartoons that I watched back in the 90's/early 00's that I can still watch now, but not ironically. Like I actually enjoy it its an amazing show.

Re: Your favourite childhood cartoon
I like nickelodeon cartoons. They are very stylized in a fancy / interesting way. I like cat's dog and the monsters. The hairy naked headless guy holding eye ball's kinda hot to me (when i was a kid haha).
For half an hour or hour before the days broadcast of programing began there was a test pattern with a clock and I think weather forecast in one quarter of the screen and in the lower right quarter they ran Betty Boop cartoons. I got up early for that. After that was a show hosted by a bellhop character who now seems very gay to me (though he wasn't) - "Johnny Ginger". I think he also ran cartoons of the same vintage and maybe also "Clutch Cargo".
But before that I have a vague memory of sitting in a shopping cart and being excited to discover a box of cereal with the star of a cartoon that I loved, an elephant character who was always accompanied by a parrot and other animal friends. I can't remember the name of it, but I know I've seen a clip on some obscure website. He also seems gay as Tinkie Winkie to me now.

I just mentioned "the WB stuff" - I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like listing. :)
If you're on a highway and Road Runner goes "beep beep"...
as a kid, i watched pretty much everything that was animated.
my first favourite cartoon was transformers - which is why i was so disappointed when the movies sucked so bad.
then i was really into captain planet for quite a while. wow, that shit is painful to watch as an adult.
then x-men: the animated series. that got me into comics, and im still reading the x-men today. well done, marketing people at marvel.

:rotflmao: oh yeah, that was the principal's name. they were killing the adult themes back in the day. it was serious. surprised that they got away with that or nobody made an uproar about it either.
the nickeledeon cartoons were good. the original rugrats, the original doug, rocko's modern life, the angry beavers, and some of the other ones. wasn't a big ren n stimpy fan. that show was too weird for me. surprised that they aired that with the amount of adult themes in it. hated awww... real monsters. cat and dog sucked too. hey arnold was okay.
disney in the afternoon was also good. the gummy bears, tale spin, ducktales..
but then my favorite cartoon..

Re: Your favourite childhood cartoon
Luckily for me when I really started to sit down and watch cartoons Cartoon Network played a lot of the really good old cartoons. Johnny Quest, Scooby Doo, Looney Toons (and I remember seeing some of the WWII ones as well), Penelope Pitstop and the few different iterations where a bunch of different cartoon characters raced each other. There was one that was normal amazing race type one and there was a space one as well.
Rocky and Bullwinkle, Speed Racer, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, The Snorkles? (basically underwater smurfs), etc.
Then you have TMNT, Transformers, GI Joe, He Man, etc.
The Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Doug (fuck the ABC version).
Batman The Animated Series, Spiderman, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk.
Watched all these as a kid and growing up.
