Rocko was, and always will be, one of the best written and voice acted cartoons of all time.
You know, seeing all the praise for that here and knowing the creators of P+F worked on it, so I watched a few episodes recently on Nick's 90s block and.... I just don't see what the fuss is about.
The amount of love Reboot gets on GAF is completely understandable and is fully justified.
Agreed there. Well, I don't think Transformers will hold up very well with me now either, but I got some enjoyment out of the movie recently at the least and some of the cartoons when rewatched as a teen, and the same can't be said for Thunder Cats.Other way around...IMO
cartoons have always been great, now and foreverLets be honest here, just about all of them.
It's been over 20 years since it's debut.
Actually one of my first cartoon (after I found out that, anime is the proper word) that I've watch from the first episode to the end was
- Sailor Moon. I still remember when my tv-channel made the announcement that Sailor Moon continues with Sailor Moon Sailor Stars and the ending was just; Full Of Man Tears. This anime had so much life.
Max Fleischer's Superman
Way older than me, but I watched them as a kid. And since they are on Netflix I recently decide to watch them again.
And woah! I'm glad these are from the 40's , because the animation is so utterly hand-made and with such production values that for decades it must have put to shame almost every superhero cartoon that came after.
Seems I missed out on one of the best ideas during my childhood. Dino's and laserguns; come on, who doesn't want that?Oh hellz ya!
INTRO!

Edit: My brother and I were like, "This couldn't have happened cause T-Rex existed in the Cretaceous period and Diplodocus existed in the Jurassic period millions of years apart.
It was part of the Marvel Action Universe block on Saturday mornings *sheds tear* with Spiderman and his Amazing Friends and Robocop.

It's a weird show, with several adult-only references. Some communist stuff, nudist stuff, I remember a fairly well-done parody of The Shining. Those references do go a long way.
But it is quite wacky, which is kind of off-putting going back to it. But if you get into it, it's a good show with good writing.
In my opinion, it's just over the line into being enjoyable, unlike other shows of its ilk like Cow and Chicken and Ren and Stimpy. I know those shows have their fanbases, but they were too wacky and crude, even for me as a kid and as an adult.
Superman: The Animated Series deserves a specific mention.
I'm watching this right now, at age 22, and I love it more now than I ever did as a kid. Perfectly captures what Superman is all about, and creatively and intelligently updates the mythos in several areas. Having Braniac involved in the destruction of Krypton was nothing short of genius.
Not a lot of people probably remembered this show but it was one of the best for more adult themes and awesome CGI war scenes. Same makers a reboot/beast machines/wars:
Shadow Raiders
Well, there was still the Justice League series that came a little bit later, although that was obviously only partly about Superman.
The All-Star Superman movie that came out a little while ago was very good, too.
I agree that they could be doing a better job with the character. Batman gets way more love from WB executives than Superman and I think the character deserves better.
Genuinely funny still.
one of my favorites as a kid. A similar and surprisingly clever show that I loved to watch was The Weekenders
unfortunately, it only got one season I think
Genuinely funny still.
remembered a few more....
Isidoro was called Heathcliff here. I always wanted an orange cat like him that could beat up dogs I was afraid of as a kid.
I grew up watching a lot of anime ... I'm really amazed how few anime/cartoons share current TV shows for child.
EDIT: Shit I missed Musculman (Kinnikuman). It's great listening to spanish/catalan openings :-D, I miss the times when our drawers used to collaborate with japanese artists [Marco (Haha o tazunete sanzenri), Heidi (Arupusu no Shōjo Haiji), La abeja Maya (Mitsubachi Maya no boken), La aldea del arce (Maple Town Monogatari)].

Oh man, I can't belive I forgot about this one. Ouh, so many memories are coming now.

Thank you for remind me of this :3
