Rocky and His Friends (aka Rocky and Bullwinkle) are my favorite and always will be. Also liked Fractured Fairy Tales and Dudley Do-Right. I wasn't as fond of Peabody and Son. I like most of South Park now.

I Love ANYTHING that starts "Beside the shores of Veronica Lake."

I think all ages have good cartoons and bad cartoons, just like all ages have good movies and bad movies. But cartoons that are just 22 minute commercials for kids to go buy stuff are a waste on time and space. You want to sell me a doll, fine, but engage me, entertain me. If I can't get to the story because everything is about the latest accessory at Toys R Us, I'm clicking.

"Hey Rocky, wanna watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat?"

and remember: "The 3-D BB knows all."

Transformers was big in my young days too, the action-figures that is. Growing up, the consensus "Holy Quadruple" of cartoons were X-Men, Batman, Spiderman, and Gargoyels (top 20 all time along with your 3). I have to rep you though because, even though I disagree, your statement on Beast Wars was funny.
come on, great storyline? too much energon so they gotta transform into half animal robots> it doesnt even make sense, and it didn't take place in the real xformers universe.

Not so keen on South Park but love Fractured Fairy Tales and Peabody and Sherman. Add to that Tennessee Tuxedo and Commander Bragg and I'm in cartoon heaven.
The way they play on words just cracks me up. And I'm not sure how to phrase it, but for instance in the fractured fairy tales cartoons, the cartoons were just that much funnier if you were familiar with the actual fairy tale they were spoofing, if that makes sense. That sort of humor is right up my alley.

I watch Tom and Jerry with my 5 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves them. I know I watched the very same ones when I was her age. Those are timeless.

When I was a kid, the cartoons had dancing flowers, or Indians with big noses who said "How" and tied up White People and danced crazy.

Or African Natives with big white lips who put Missionaries in pots and danced around with spears.

When my kids were big enough to enjoy cartoons, the cartoonists had developed social awareness and no longer made cartoons that contained insensitive racist themes.

One of my little girls favorites was Johnny Quest. Johnny and his sidekick Hadji were experts with automatic assault weapons and would mow down hundreds of adversaries of varying ethnicity in each episodes.

Now we watch CGI cartoons like Shrek an Wal-E and wish they were Big Nose Indians with Jonny Quest assault weapons.

I agree, as someone who was born in the early 90's and was brought up on 90's and 00's cartoons I feel they aren't as good as they used to be, don't get me wrong there still are good cartoons but not nearly as much.

I mostly watch Family Guy, The Simpsons, etc. but I like Phineas & Ferb a lot, its my favorite kiddy cartoon.
