When you were a kid, what were the coolest TV shows?

[chaosyoshimage]

Of the stuff I watched, Pokemon was the only one that was ever popular with the whole class and that was only for like a year. The class above us liked Yu-Gi-Oh! though, so I played the card game with most of them. Dragon Ball Z was only cool with my circle of friends for some reason. I guess it was 'cause I lived in Hicktown, USA.

Oh, I got Beyblade and Duel Masters to get pretty popular in my class for awhile by bringing the tops and cards.

 

[Kinokohatake]

Rocko's Modern Life, James Bond Jr., Reboot, Sailor Moon, The Tazmanian Devil Show, Goof Troop, VR Troopers, Batman The Animated Series, Bobby's World, uh....there are tons...Oh Carmen Sandiego, um.....I will repost more later. Oh and X-men.

Edit- Life with Louis.

One word: Toonami.

There was nothing I wanted more than to get home as soon as possible after school so I could sit on my butt and watch Cartoon Network until my parents yelled at me.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Transformers G1 of course, Thundercats and this little gem:

This is the 1980's summed up in less than 2 minutes.

OT: I was a Nickelodeon kid, through and through. The best of the best were

Spoiler: Rugrats

Spoiler: Angry Beavers

Spoiler: Doug

Spoiler: Hey Arnold

And of course,

Spoiler: Rocko's Modern Life

Worst mistake ever cancelling that, haha. I remember watching Spawn at... what age was I? not too young but definitely not old enough to be watching the likes of Spawn, haha.

Ohh, I definitely preferred Nick to everything else. There was this one cartoon with the wee group of skaters? Three boys and one girl.. they were either skater or went around on roller blades. Anyroad, the Rugrats intro always makes me feel like I'm about to shed a single tear. I haven't the foggiest why though, haha. I'll just go with nostalgia I suppose.

Can't help but notice this, Escapists. No "Ahhh! Real Monsters"!?

James Bond Jr?

OT: I watched pokemon back when the cartoon was (in Britain, at least) punctuated with this thing basically harping on about Pokemon. Like... a filmed in studio thing with pikachu sweaters and giveaways and stuff.

There was also DBZ, Ed, Edd n'Eddy, and many more.

Oh, and Robot Wars UK. My dad used to watch that with me.

That skater thing... I think I know what you mean. They're in a beach area of America? The main guy had red dreadlocks?

God, the weirdest thing was in the credits, when I was a kid I saw they credited "slang experts" or some such thing.
