It's funny, as a kid I liked Tom & Jerry a little bit, but as an adult I am addicted to Tom & Jerry and watch it almost everyday on Cartoon Network while I'm at work or at home. It's a nice blast from the past and as an adult I can laugh at the way they interact with eachother more than when I was a kid, I don't know why that is.

I challenge everyone to flick on Cartoon Network Friday Nights at 8pm for their "You Are Here!" lineup and it will make you into cartoon fans once again, it was a huge reason why I am back watching cartoons full time again, but I can't give it all the credit, CN, CW4Kids and 4KidsTV all helped me back into one of my favorite hobbies after a long absense.........

[Throne Invader]

Winx Club
Powerpuff Girls
Ed Edd N Eddy
Courage the Cowardly Dog

[Kafriel]

Cartoons,huh? From what I still got left in my memory:
Captain Planet
Silverhawks
Robin Hood
Justice League
X-men
Voltron
Gargoyles
Teen Titans

X-Men: The Animated Series was a fantastic show and was definatly my favorite cartoon of the 90's, or was at least one of them. They just released the first two volumes on DVD after a long and frusterating wait due to legal issues. It's about time!!

[Miko Miko]

The Simpsons..

I just can't develop a liking for their new cartoons. They just don't have that "flare" I look for. I have grown quite a liking for The Misadventures of Flapjack, but besides that no other shows have caught my interest. Chowder, while I like stylistically I just don't feel like watching an episode all the way through when its on. It doesn't grab my interest enough.

I guess I'm just suffering from nostalgia, like so many people do with the passing decades. The kids of today will be the teenagers of tomorrow who will be complaining that the cartoons of tomorrow won't be as good as the cartoons from their childhood. It's almost like music, each generation thinks that the music they grew up with was the best, and the music of the younger generation is terrible garbage.

Actually, I think Total Drama Island is good. A decent spoof of reality TV shows, with a little more bite than the average american cartoon (or so you would think with the TV PG rating).

Of course, yes the problem is that we grow old, but still some cartoons have better crossover appeal than others. Some of the best ones of the 90s did, which is honestly why I can still watch em (I can't watch any thing made in the 80s or before and really enjoy it).

I just find myself to be very open to any cartoon as long as I find it to be enjoyable. For instance, Toki and Solomon mentioned TDA and Flapjack, two shoes I am not a fan of, but I tried to like them and they failed to keep my attention. I just think people need to try out the cartoons of today before they discount them as not being good, I have a friend who does this and it makes me so mad because I know his taste and he would like some of them. I suppose there are people who tried and didn't like what they saw, but there are so many people out there who are ignoring today's stuff because they have it stuck in their heads that "Today's cartoons are not as good as the ones we had when I was a kid.", and thats not a good mentality to have.

My favorite non-anime would probably be a tie with Family Guy with The Venture Brothers.

It's common for people to cheerish the days gone by; Specially when it's the days involving our childhood.

In a way, you could say that it is us the viewers the ones that have changed and not just the shows that air nowdays.

Road Runner.

[solomon]

totally classic dude, seriously. It's a CRIME that kids these days don't have bugs and the gang on basic cable, they never go out of style and even with the great competition of the 90s, still outclass most stuff people have made since.

[momobunny]

Powerpuff Girls
Dexter's Lab
Daria
The Critic
Spongebob

Care Bears
Strawberry Shortcake

Invader zim, It's so awesome.(And gir is more awesome)

[Gordy Lechance]

I would have to say Finding Nemo. It is a rare piece of non-Japanese animation that portrays a flawless "Hero's Journey," as written by Professor Joseph Campbell in Hero With A Thousand Faces.
