best Cartoon from the old days

CAB_IV · April 16th, 2007, 12:01 AM

I'll attempt to redeem myself here with a legitimate topic.

I don't know about you guys, but i feel like since i used to watch cartoons, things have changed drastically.

I remember shows like, Hey Arnold, Dexter's Laboratory, Are you Afraid of the Dark, and Courage the Cowardly Dog.

now most of these shows have been replaced with cartoons that aren't nearly as entertaining.

I'll leave it up to you guys to decide which shows from back in the day you guys like. Even if its not listed here, feel free to comment about it.

I would have to go with Hey Arnold because it was just never a dull moment in the show.

Well, Are You Afraid of The Dark isn't a cartoon, but I liked it. Anyways, I always liked to watch Looney Toons, Hey Arnold, Dexter, Catdog, and Rugrats, there were probably more, but those I are the ones I remember most.

Looney Tunes hands down. And, if not that, Dexter's Lab.

Nothing can beat Thundercats. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a broken opinion.
I am, of course, joking. Any justified opinion is fine =)

i'm afraid not.

i checked the guide today out of curiosity to see what was on.

on cartoon network, it was some anime show, Billy and mandy ( not bad though), and Foster's home for Imaginary friends

nickelodian had spongebob, fairly odd parrents, teenage robot, avatar, and some show about someone named ned.

none of these are like the oldschool cartoons. most of it is all mindless stupidty, or anime. the rest isn't interesting anymore.

I remember Rocko's modern life, and all those from when i was younger. that goes back, lol.

^on one of those channels you have to pay extra for they do. >< actually Courage is being shown on Cartoon Network again 10:00PM or something like that. lol Rocko. The Recycle Song was awesome xD
Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Angry Beavers and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Are You Afraid of the Dark wasn't a cartoon but it was really good up until the series got the new characters sitting around the fire then the stories started to get a bit boring.

I still watch cartoons like spongebob but thats pretty much it. I hate almost everything on cartoon network and nickelodeon. fairly odd parents has some clever humor in it and so did spongebob up until about the last season. Now I'm more into family guy (not counting any animes).

Best cartoons back in the day were Dextor's lab, Rocko and powerpuff girls.

CAB_IV · April 17th, 2007, 11:10 PM

lol, family guy got back on the air. I am upset though that stewie doesn't have all his "devices" anymore. I loved the one where he made himself tiny to eliminate the sperm, lol.

I generally agree though..., the new cartoons are just dumb.

the best dexter's lab ever was The Muffin King

Dexter! I AM YOUR FATHER!

no! that is not possible... oh wait you are right...

I would have to say Hey Arnold it was funny and had a very good storyline to it and good characters.

riku's_artist7 · April 18th, 2007, 01:42 AM

OMG my favorite cartoon(anime) when i was younger was Speed Racer! i love that show

You've grown up, doesn't mean the general age bracket for cartoons grow with you, and over time people do generally wonder why they watched what they now consider to be shoddy crap, and most of the time it was initially because they found it entertaining at some stage in their lives.

Tom & Jerry FTW...
