AznAxis Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Nostalgia time~! What kinds of cartoons did you watch as a kid? If you still consider yourself a kid, what kinds of cartoons do you watch now?Thinking back on my childhood, two come to mind that I loved...a lot.I am a HUGE Sonic the Hedgehog fan, and SatAM is probably a big reason why. I remember waking up every Saturday morning looking forward to seeing the newest episode. A few years ago, while I was working retail security, I came across a DVD release of the entire 26 episode collection. I had to have it. The other cartoon I distinctly remember loving as a kid, is Swat Kats. I remember I used to design new airships and weapons while watching this...pretty sure my folks still have some of those drawings stored away in the attic... xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RarityDash Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Oh, so many... My TV was on some cartoon constantly.Off the top of my head, I can distinctly recall enjoying:Batman: The Animated Series (probably my favorite non-anime cartoon ever, or at least a close second to FiM), X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Tiny Toons, Pinky and the Brain, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, Thundercats, Dragon Ball Z, Reboot, Gargoyles, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, The Simpsons, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Pokemon, Batman Beyond, Doug, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, KaBlam!, and undoubtedly tons that are just slipping my mind. And then there were any number of the classic older cartoons they showed syndicated on Cartoon Network, including The Looney Toons, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, The Superfriends and so many more that I really enjoyed despite their age.I favored Cartoon Network over Nickelodeon or Disney or whatever else, and it was definitely the default, but I would watch them all of them. Though I kind of liked most of the Nicktoons, I remember liking their live action stuff, and particularly their game shows, more than any of their animated offerings. I watched Disney the least when I was a kid, but there were certain shows I'd tune in for.I was 14 when Adult Swim started, and I watched everything on their starting line up, so I guess that sort of counts too. it's high school age, but I was still pretty much a kid. Though it wasn't long after that that I started getting more into anime and less into the other stuff. There were still some cartoons I was really loving as an older teen, mostly super hero type stuff (Justice League was a favorite), though I was more into action and "adult" humor at that point in my life.And this is all to say nothing of all the wonderful animated films I watched as a kid...

Parker_Izing Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 SatAM too, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, that Super Mario Bros program with cheesy live action segments, the first Show of Transformers, Dragon Ball, Captain Planet (loved that show, sadly Spain only aired 1st season) ,Heck I'm diggings my brains out...The toxic crusader (let's make a kid's show out of a R rated horror movie)M.A.S.K. (awesome music, awesome looks, awesome Mercedes SLC with scorpion stinger and tank threads...)Heck I basically got feed on anything they thrown on us.Now I remember another one, "Galaxy Sheriff" this show wasn't aired, they just videotaped it and there was in rental places (remember those old cube shaped videotapes with only one hub) There even was a "Fan club" you send a letter with your adress and enclose some post stamps and they'd send you some cardboard merchandise, like cardboard sheriff star, some cut' fold figures, stickers...

flutterscotch Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I am old. Kindergarten and before: Belle and Sebastian, G-Force (it was called G-force at the time, OK?), Space Stars (which was Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and then some recycled crap that I hated, but holy cow did I love Alex Toth as a child), the Raccoons, and those weird European cartoons in Pinwheel.Grade School: My Little Pony...kind of...Jem, Moondreamers, Thundercats, Smurfs, Muppet Babies, Captain N the Game Master, the super Mario Brothers Super Show, Dungeons and Dragons, Kidd Video (but usually only for the intro), Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, Tiny Toon Adventures, Gummi Bears, Tale Spin, Ducktales. My enchantment with the Disney Afternoon ended when Darkwing Duck aired. Possibly because I at the time felt I was too old for Cartoons. And um...Rock n' Wrestling (SHUT UP!). I was oddly also obsessed with Widget the World Watcher in 8th grade (because it was on before school?)High School: Doug (a tiny bit late to the game), Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Animaniacs, sometimes if I could catch it, the Tick. I had a brief, torrid love affair with Liquid television and MTv's Oddities (the Head, mostly) but eventually Beavis and Butthead bothered me because none of my friends would shut up about it (Ren and Stimpy fell to the same fate). I HATED Aeon Flux. Indifferent to Daria. Mostly I watched old, messed up animated movies in this time (Heavy Metal, Bakshi's stuff). And some poorly dubbed anime if I could get my hands on it. We did not have Youtube.College: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, O' Canada, Various stuff on Toonami. Powerpuff girls.Now: Metalocalypse, Squidbillies, MLP FiM, Aqua Teen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astalakio Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 The ones I remember loving the most were Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, X-Men Evolution and Teen Titans. I also watched TAS of Batman, Spider-Man and X-Men, along with Jackie Chan Adventures, Sonic X, Danny Phantom, The Batman, and I'm sure a whole bunch of others I don't remember any more.More recently I've been watching The Spectacular Spider-Man (which is spectacular), Sym-Bionic Titan (also incredible), Teen Titans (for nostalgia), MLP:FiM (obviously), Young Justice (fantastic new series - revives my faith in modern cartoons), and some Danny Phantom too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothtail Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 All the Nickelodeon nicktoons, and the Cartoon Network cartoon cartoons I remember, but Courage the Cowardly Dog, Aaah Real Monsters & Rugrats were my favourites. Also whatever of the first MLP series we could find on tape. When I was much younger though, I remember watching mostly funny little british animations, like Postman Pat, the Clangers and Bagpuss. So different from now... sadly http://youtu.be/Lol3fjAyoJw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiee Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Oh my where do I start.

Northern Lights Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hmm, Winne the Pooh, Tiny Toon Adventures, Pretty much everything Disney was showing in the late 80's and early 90's. Rupert, Garfield and Friends, AHHHH Real Monsters was awesome and too short lived. Hmmm. Rocko's Modern Life, which I kinda see as a proto-spongebob. Ren and Stimpy. A lot of strange stuff on TVO that I barely remember from early childhood like Doctor Snuggles. COUNT DUCKULA! Lots of Warner Bros. Oh, the old X-Men cartoon with Jubilee and crappiness! I looved it!It's weird, but I also get nostalgia for the late 90's stuff too. I was in late highschool and college and watched a lot of toons, so I have strong memories of stuff I'm way out of the childhood range of, like Recess, Pepper Anne, Weekenders, Filmore!, Arthur, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kal413 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Wow, you guys had a lot time to watch TV.Before I moved to the US, the only two shows that I knew I had to watch wereRanma 1/2PokemonThat's pretty much it. I had glimpses of other stuff, but if I had to watch one hour of something every month (and it was usually that), I would watch one of those two.After I moved to the US, however, TV suddenly became my best friend, lolBy then, these were my favourites.FuturamaFamily GuyAvatar: The Last AirbenderSpongeBob SquarePantsThe Fairly Odd ParentsThe Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy GeniusDexter's LaboratoryTeen TitansCodename: Kids Next DoorDanny PhantomChip and Dale: Rescue RangersAmerican Dragon: Jake LongKim PossibleLloyd in SpaceYu-Gi-Oh!CatscratchHey Arnold!All-Grown Up!I probably watched others regularly, but those are the main ones.I know that if I watched any of them right now, I'd still think they were as good as I did back in the day. Obviously, this all occurred fairly recently though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyricality Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) ....I am also old, heh. When I was very young, we had cable and the Disney channel, so while I did watch My Little Pony (I still remember being terrified when the ponies were turned into monsters in Firefly's Adventure) and She-Ra, I also watched things that were particular to the Disney channel and Nickelodeon. I especially remember Belle and Sebastian and David the Gnome (I loved Swift the fox). When I was older, I watched Jem, and I was so disappointed that the dolls looked nothing like the characters did in the show. Like, uh, everyone in my generation, I was briefly obsessed with TMNT.Around my early teens, I know I watched Captain N, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and Batman: the Animated Series, heh. I don't think the Cartoon Network started until I was in high school or college, but even so, I watched Dexter's Laboratory and the Powerpuff Girls, as well as all the badly-dubbed anime I could find.Then I went to school for animation, and discovered all sorts of peculiar and wonderful things that I had never even guessed existed! o.OEDIT: I can't believe that I forgot to mention Voltron! I even had a little figure of the Princess. Edited November 25, 2011 by Lyricality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there an actual TV series or just movies they came out with now and then?I know I used to watch Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Street Sharks when I was real young - again too long ago to remember them clearly. I watched Pokemon for about five years, I guess (if each season was a year long - I watched up to early Advanced). Watched Rugrats with my sister before going to school for years. The first two generations of Digimon (that show's still going, isn't it? I keep seeing new Digimon stuff pop up every now and then). Ed, Edd, n Eddy and Teen Titans were big between my siblings and I for a couple years while I was in high school.I guess that's about it. I really wasn't one to watch TV all that much. Recently I've just been watching random anime titles that seem interesting. Currently I'm watching Case Closed and before that I also saw YuYu Hakusho and Full Metal Alchemist. After Case Closed, I'm leaning toward DBZ Kai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyricality Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm pretty sure there was a tv show as well.There was! I remember watching it on the Disney channel. I also remember that they split up a lot of the standalone movies (the Wonderland one and the Nutcracker one, at least) into separate episodes for the series. I still sort of like that Nutcracker one...I wonder if I could find it somewhere. 'Tis the season, after all. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
