Invader Zim started in 2001. And for all those good 90's cartoons, let me mention these two: Hammerman and the New Kids on the Block cartoon.Goremocker said:
I remember my childhood cartoons fondly, but I do not want to revisit them. I don't want the memories I have of the original Transformers, G.I. Joe and Thundercats cartoons ruined by watching them and realizing that the animation was atrocious, the voice acting horrid and the plots were nothing more than an excuse to sell more toys.

There's always the Boondocks...
It's appealing to the new generation of kids. Who have terrible taste. You're going to have to deal with it. Just make sure that when you have kids yourself, you show them good shows. It's the only thing you really can do...

I thought someone might respond this way. Super Hero Squad isn't all bad, and there are occasional fun silver-age references or clever set pieces, telling by the 3 or so episodes I've watched, but it's indicative of a larger problem stemming from the way society treats children. It takes the characters of the Marvel Universe and strips them down to their most basic elements in order to make them easy to understand. It doesn't tackle big themes in the way the Spider-Man or Batman animated series did (I love Batman: TAS, sorry), and jams as many characters as possible into the show, even when they serve no purpose. It oversimplifies and pretty much just becomes bright colors on the screen, with absolutely no deeper meaning. I think the writers do the best with what they're given, but even judging from the art style, this thing is just meant to be a marketing bonanza in order to sell toys, similar to the Schumacher Batman movies. It's a commercial, not entertainment.kyosai7 said:
But yes, get your hands on a copy of Return of the Joker A.S.A.P.
Oh my god a tear of nostalgia actually came from my eye i miss this show that much i wish i was older when i watched it so i could fully value the genius of that showRatRace123 said:
The best cartoons are made for kids but had nods to the adults might be watching, they never pandered. Every generation had great cartoons and horrible ones.
The old school bugs bunny cartoons, hell had borderline racist things in them and other adult themes. Many of which have been edited down or removed for modern days since they pushed some buttons people do not like pushed.
Animaniacs was great.
Ren and stimpy ftw could not believe when that got on nickolodean back in the day.
Courage the cowardly dog was great.
Billy and mandy was downright epic at times. my 50 year old uncle even loved that show.
But your always going to have to sift through the lowest common garbage to find the real gems of any cartoon generation.

you my friend; have excellent taste (lol)Irridium said:
i specifically remember going to a friends birthday party and we -instead of playing video games all night or going to a movie- watched a marathon of the animaniacs that he got as a birthday present. my friends and I are between the ages of 16-18 and we laughed ourselves to tears. first because of the fact that that show was hilarious enough without the high-brow jokes, then they had the jokes people only get if they're older....
I can't think of anything educational on top of what you said.
thanksgiving special:
A Hunter- Give me the bird!!!
Yakko- we'd love to really, but the Fox censors just won't allow it.
lol.
Check out some of the stuff on Adult Swim (late night Cartoon Network- 9:30pm central time and on). Robot Chicken is a stop motion animated show that uses action figures and dolls. The Boondocks,which has been mentioned, can be fairly funny if not a little politically loaded/biased.
But the one you really need to check out is The Venture Bros.

hey thanks for all the comments and info!
i hear allot of courage the cowardly dog around just to say that was one of the ones i was thinking when saying "going to dark places" courage had it all a brave little hero, a small creepy house, an old russian lady, a zombie ex-hollywood directos, but at the same time courage had even adorable moments for example when it helps an intergalatic squid give birth...no seriously that actualy happened, also one of my all time favorites would be invader zim!
