What are some cartoons you didn't watch as a kid that everyone else did at the time

[CyberCubed]

What are some cartoons that you knew were popular when you were a kid, but for some reason you never bothered watching?

- For me I never watched Nickelodeon when I was a kid, so I never saw any of their shows. I was always watching Cartoon Network and KidsWb when I was a kid, and never switched to Nick. Thus I've never seen Rugrats, only a handful of Spongebob episodes and never any of their other stuff.

- I never saw Spiderman: TAS or X-men: TAS when I was a kid either. I didn't watch FoxKids much so I never saw them until when I was older and decided to finally see them online. X-men: Evolution was my first X-men cartoon.

- I only watched Power Rangers up to the point where Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa leave as the main villains, never again.

- I've never watched a single Transformers cartoon. Not a single one.


I did watch most Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and I did see obscure stuff like Skeleton Warriors and all of WB's superhero shows.

All Disney Afternoon shows except Tail Spin, Darkwing and Goof Troop, Transformers, Power Rangers, original G.I.Joe (until the DiC series made me curious) and original He-Man.

[Donatello19]

Power Rangers. It just seemed very stupid and corny to me.

[Slade]

I was sort of a teenager, but I never watched Spongebob.

[gobo]

Oh! Ren & Stimpy and those knockoffs Cow & Chicken. I kinda blocked those from my memory for some reason.

[Jester]

I may have caught it on occasion, but I only watched the whole Gargoyles series until I watched it on Toon Disney as an adult.

[Cure]

He-Man and GI Joe. They were just so ugly.

[Jester]

Never watched them either...or Thundercats. I might have to give them a go on Netflix or something.

[Slade]

I never watched any of those either. Gundam Wing was another I never watched.

[Cure]

Never watched them either...or Thundercats. I might have to give them a go on Netflix or something.

Yeah, Thundercats, also.

[CyberCubed]

Come to think of it I never saw most of those old Disney shows either. I saw some of Darkwing Duck, all of Gargoyles, and the old Alladdin cartoon, but that was about it.

Never saw He-man, but saw Thundercats on Cartoon Network.

[DonatelloNinja82]

I never really watched Power Rangers.

[LeoNerdo]

The only big one I can think of is Gargoyles. I still don't think I've watched an entire episode of it. But I watched almost everything else that I can think of; I was a cartoon junky. Not a cartoon but I've never watched Power Rangers at all except for the two Next Mutation crossover episodes for obvious reasons.

[MikeandRaph87]

There were 3 shows that most of my friend watched as kids I never did. No dislike I just simply was preoccupied with TMNT, Atlanta Braves, and my secondary fanom of the time Power Rangers or Pokemon.

Dragonball,particularlly Z. I watched two episodes and it was hard to follow. I guess its hard to get interested when Cell blows himself up taking out Goku and somehow reconfiguring to kill Trunks. Bad episode to pick to watch I guess. I got appreciation for it later on when my younger brother watched it. I got tired of the two cliches of beat a villain then o e of its forces or the lead villain joins them to stop the next threat and all the needless deaths and bringing them back with the snap of the fingers just to add needless drama. I do like both Goku and Vegeta just want them alive and kicking butt!

Saved By The Bell. I remember in the mid 90s my friends thinking how cool it would be to be California teens like PR or the Saved By The Bell gang. Then finishing 4th grade all of 4th grade got to watch a VHS of Zach and friends starting high school. I never seen it before but my friends were into it. Never caught more than a scene here and there ever since mainly after it started on TBS mornings.

Boy Meets World is the other. I actually did watch TGIF for Full House and I watched the high school seasons of Sabrina:The Teenage Witch during its run,but I never could get into it. I did watch an episode or two during the end of its run simply because it came on before Pokemon on Fox early mornings and I wanted to know why two friends listed it their favorite show. Glad fans of the show will get the rare follow up series and hope it hold up to expectations of those fans despite my not carring for it.

You should finally watch the show online, its one of the best action cartoons ever made. It aired around the same time as Batman: TAS and surpasses it in a number of ways.

[Allio]

Ren and Stimpy

I thought that was the most stupidest thing ever, still do

[CyberCubed]

I've never watched South Park, I've only seen like 14 episodes of Family Guy at the most.

[RaphAndDonnie]

I never watched Power Rangers or Bleach (Bleach seemed to be the 'big thing' when I was in fourth grade :trolleye: ) Also, any popular Star Wars carton in the early-mid 2000's I can guarantee I haven't watched. Also Avatar: The Last Airbender. I watched the pilot eoisode and that was it.

[CyberCubed]

I've never watched Avatar, Star Wars Clone Wars, Ben 10, any Cartoon Network original show after around 2002, etc.

Never watched Totally Spies, any Spider-Man cartoon other than a few, did not watch Avengers until recently.

Did not watch 90% of Disney cartoons. Did not watch Brave and the Bold except select episodes. Did not watch Green Lantern cartoon.

Did not watch any 80's cartoons except TMNT and the Super Mario show.

Did not watch most 90's cartoons that didn't air on the WB at some point.

Come to think of it I don't watch many cartoons at all.

Ohhhh Avatar is awesome...one of my favorite cartoons EVER!! I never got into Bleach myself...I've watched the first two episodes...but I do love the fact that one of the American voice actors for that anime is Johnny Yong Bosch who is the voice of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, which is hands down my favorite anime...

[Icebot]

I didn't watch Power Rangers, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life.

I used to watch Spongebob but I don't watch it anymore even though it's more popular now.

[Luigiperps]

Teen titans and 2003 turtles
I've seen them now, just not when they were one.

[BubblyShell22]

Never watched anything on Nickelodeon because I didn't care for it. Didn't watch Sailor Moon either though I did catch one episode and wasn't very fond of it. Actually, most anime I didn't watch because I just didn't care. Only watched CN for PPG and Code Lyoko, and after those two shows left, I didn't bother.

[Gwydion]

I never had cable growing up, so anything exclusively on there - like Doug or Rugrats - I didn't see at the time. Never really felt I was missing out, though, as I would catch random bits at friends' houses or on vacation and I never cared for any of it. Although people are mentioning Power Rangers - I always thought it was too silly, but I would still catch an episode here or there just to see what the hype was about.

Otherwise... I'm pretty sure I watched most of the popular stuff. My Saturdays consisted of me waking up between 6 and 7, turning on the TV, and not turning it off until X-Men was over at 11/11:30 (aside from 1/2-1 hour for breakfast). And I watched most of the Disney Afternoon stuff as a kid too so... yeah...

...I watched a lot of cartoons.

[ZariusTwo]

Doug, Kim Possible, The Clone Wars (CGI version, I watched the animated shorts on CN though), Drawn Together, any Ben 10 spin-off after the original series ended

[gobo]

I was probably a senior in high school by the time it came out, but I was never interested in Courage, The Cowardly Dog despite my friends' enthusiasm for it.

Should I also mention cartoons I wish I hadn't watched here? O_o
