My fondest memories will always be of Xiaolin Showdown, even if I did start watching it during late childhood (Like 9-11 years of age). I used to watch lots of Dexter's Laboratory earlier than that, too.

 

[SoopaSte123]

So, so many... I don't know where to start. Well, let's stick with the ones that affected me most:
Looney Tunes
Animaniacs
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Spiderman
Batman
Pokemon
Digimon

 

[TheKruzdawg]

Batman the Animated Series, Spider-Man (90s FOX Spider-Man), and X-Men. What I consider the Golden Age of cartoons during my lifetime. I loved those shows so much and if I could find them on DVD I would buy them in a heartbeat, especially Batman.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Probably The Simpsons. I've been watching it pretty much my whole life.

The 90's were filled with many delightful cartoons (2000 not so much)... ones that sadly my poor memory cannot remember. But looking down the list in this thread, it is most of these. However, one cartoon not mentioned...

"SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" - The Tick. The one Villian that comes to mind is Chairface, and the one episode where all the villians got together so they could celebrate his birthday by carving a Chair with a laser on the moon (or something like that). Best days ever... I want to watch that series again (including all of the ones mentioned here), so thank god for internet, someone is bound to have put it on here (but damn you all for making me remember).

The Mysterious Cities of Gold; greatest children's cartoon ever made.

...although from the looks of things you youngsters probably won't remember it.

I was about to post saying "I'm shocked and incensed that no-one has mentioned this", and so am glad I hit refresh before posting.
Can't argue with a show that started with the plotline of a cult classic novel, quickly went off the rails and introduced half-aliens with a penchant for world domination, scads of solar-powered tech, topless inca statues, nude bathing, instructions on how to make grenades out of plant pots and goat manure, a sentient parrot, the occasional acid trip, had actual educational segments tacked on that were far better than anything He-Man ever attempted, and featured one of the era's most singable theme tunes in an era of pretty good theme tunes (heck, an era of actual intro and outro sequences, that you didn't get so much before or since) - to the point of a kids' TV presenter starting a nationwide sing-a-long in response to several request letters. Which was made by a studio featuring several former Miyazaki collaborators, and became the stuff of cult legend for the best part of 20 years after disappearing from TV as suddenly and mysteriously as the titular cities before finally resurfacing on DVD (and has seen two failed reboots to date - maybe it is actually cursed?)

+10 internets to you, good sir/madam.

Also Dangermouse, Count Duckula, Trap Door, Dogtanian, Bertha, Inspector Gadget, Willy Fogg, Thomas the Tank Engine, Hero Turtles (bite me I'm British), Real Ghostbusters, Bravestarr, Defenders of the Earth and all that lot. Christ, looking at the copyright dates makes me feel old.
There was a hell of a pile of good stuff in the 90s too, but I think that's going to be more comprehensively covered by the younger contingent if it hasn't already.

Did you even try?
This took me 15 seconds including hitting new tab, typing in amazon.com, typing in the search, clicking through and ctrl-a ctrl-c'ing the url: http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Animat...E894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306504304&sr=8-1

edit: The Spidey and X-men ones are all on there as well. I've checked. To be honest given their cult status they'd have been insane not to release them.


You have the space of 100 heartbeats to order at least one of these, or I'm sending the boys round. Don't say I'm not generous.

(Seriously - those were damn fine bits of animation as well. Give the hard working korean sweatshoppers who tweened 'em a tiny fragment of the $20 asking price why don't you?)

 

[Tim_Buoy]

i had alot but the one that i always loved was ninja turtles. i even ran out and bought the dvd releases the first time i heard about them like literally after the commercial ended i jumped in my car and drove to the closet store that would have it

I'm not the biggest fan of ordering stuff online, as some of my friends have gotten jipped by it, so I prefer to find things in store. But there comes a point when I must do what must be done. I did find Batman in store once (although it wasn't the entire series) but I didn't have any $ at the time

 

[TheKruzdawg]

EDIT: sorry for the double post. Refreshed the page a few times and the first one wasn't showing up.

 

[Captain Pirate]

Even though I remember very little of it, and could only watch it round my friend's because he had Sky...

First thing I think of when I think 'Favorite Kid's Cartoon'.

However, if I could pick one that really was a big part of my childhood....

Rugrats all the way.

 

[Archemetis]

Oh boy, for me it was always Bucky O'Hare!


Coming in very close second was Mighty Max


Man my childhood had epic music...

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Ed Edd and Eddy. Classic.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Hands down I'd say it was 'Dragon Ball Z'.

 

[foxlovingfreak]

For me it would be hands down Darkwingduck. One of my faviorite cartoons ever.
