Ren & Stimpy will always be one of my favorite animated shows. Looking back now it's a bit hard to believe it passed as programing for children mainly because it was so bizarre and twisted you really wonder who or what the target audience was exactly. One of the best things about it was the animation which was always delightfully morbid, disgusting and hilarious. Series creator John K is known for his policy of not wanting the same expression or pose used twice and because of this each episode the characters went through a dizzying array of psychotic and idiotic expressions. I owe the development of my twisted since of humor to this show.
SpongeBob has carried on a similar form of oddball humor to an extent but The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is even closer to Ren & Stimpy's level in my book. I like animation in general, it's always fascinated me since I was a kid so I like a lot of cartoons, too many to list but I'll comment on a few more. First lets get the classics out of the way, I love the old Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry cartoons. In my opinion most of Hanna-Barbera's work just hasn't aged well with the exception of Tom & Jerry which is still hilarious to watch. I don't think much needs to be said about the Looney Tunes but I will say Tex Avery was a genius. As for more recent shows, Futurama and South Park are easily two of my top favorites. The Batman Animated series also deserves mentioning, amazing show. Samurai Jack was great and had a really cool visual style. Courage the Cowardly Dog had a certain awesomeness all its own. I haven't had the chance to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, I refuse to watch it out of order so every time it's on I change the channel. A friend has the DVDs though which I will borrow. |

Ok I might be dating myself but I loved to watch the orginal Jonny Quest! They were always traveling to exotic lands and dealing with mysteries. Also Galaxy Rangers but that might have been ANIME,I can't remember?

I would say it is tied between The Adventures of Tintin, the Nelvana version, and the Tales of Peter Rabbit. These are both animated series I remember fondly from my childhood, and are far better than most of the stuff fed to kids these days.

Just reminded me of the 2-hour Disney Block back during the days when I was a kid/teen. From bottom to top: Gummy Bears, Tale Spin, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, and on top Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. Not as consistent these days with non-anime cartoons.

I just wanted to add The Proud Family to one of my favorite series.

Lol, I just found out Sonic was voiced by Jaleel White in the series, aka Steve Urkel. |
