Cartoons and theme songs we loved as a kid growing up.

Hello Escapist

Simple question and it may have already been done before but what are cartoons or live action programmes you liked and loved as a kid growing up and the theme songs that just brings back great memories. Mine of course would be the X-Men, Spiderman, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers of the past in the 90s.

Pokemon! That show was so good and I don't think I will ever forget the lyrics of the theme song of the first season. Season 2's theme song was pretty good as well.

Also, Captain Planet was pretty awesome as well.

They changed the music for Justice League Unlimited but I did not like it as much.

 

[Rooster893]

Justice League always gives me shivers. Bum bum bum buuuuuuuuuuum bum buuuuum...

Power Rangers is good for making me feel like I'm in Kindergarten again.

Spoiler: Jayce and the Wheel Warriors

Spoiler: Rind Raider

Spoiler: Thundercats (original

Shame how these days most cartoon intro doesn't have any vocal/ lyric to it!

 

[Zykon TheLich_v1legacy]

You are correct, it has been done many, many times.

Doesn't really bring back any great memories, just vague flashes, half remembering maybe 1 or 2 tiny bits of it. Was pretty dark in general so that's probably why it's stuck.

 

[Drakane]

Lets get dangerous!


Also many that have been previously mentioned.

 

[WindKnight]

A little upset someone beat me to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (laughs) but can add a few.

I'm younger than a good portion of people on the site, so some of my choices are going to be a bit different.

Spoiler: Ed, Edd, N Eddy

Ed, Edd, N Eddy

Probably my favorite cartoon when I was growing up. It was so wacky and had a lot of memorable scenarios. (That fucking boomerang episode.)

Spoiler: Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends

This show, man. It was so good. Really light-hearted and fun to watch. Just found it on Netflix last night and plan on doing a marathon of every episode they have on there tonight.

Also, dat kazoo...

Spoiler: Pokemon

Pokemon

Admit it, you've sang to the song at least once in your life. So god damn catchy.
And let's not forget the Pokerap

Spoiler: Animaniacs

Animaniacs

You can't go wrong with the Animaniacs. Ever.

Spoiler: Teen Titans

Teen Titans

Kinda odd that the intro was sung by Japanese pop-stars. And it even had English and Japanese versions. So weird...
Still, it's a really great intro.

Spoiler: Powerpuff Girls

Powerpuff Girls

Another classic intro.

I pretty much grew up on Cartoon Network shows. I still watched things on Disney and Nick, but CN is where I got my fix.

All of these are crackers. But I remember these ones the most, somehow.

Spoiler: Evangelion

8, the perfect age to start watching evangelion.

OT: speaking of anime...

Spoiler: G Gundam

Spoiler: Ruroni Kenshin

 

[Terminate421]

Easily 2 of the most catchy and memorable themes of my childhood.

I'd kill if they just put the same intro for Pokemon Season 1 but with changed up anime scenes for the generation they are using.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

MegasXLR and Ed, Edd, N Eddie have been mentioned so I will add some new ones


You can't deny Thgunderbirds had a amazing theme song.


Still better than those crappy movies.

 

[Wickatricka]

Pokemon, hey Arnold, As told by Ginger, Rugrats, and Ed Edd and Eddy are like the only ones that stick out in my mind. Oh yeah and Camp Lazaro but now were getting to the age where I shouldn't of been watching cartoons lol. Might look back into those show for a little feels trip.
