Top 10 Cartoons
Just saw a top 10 list, citing the best cartoon shows, ranked.
I disagree. So here’s mine 10. Hercules (HB) 9. The Tick 8. Voltron 7. Thundercats 6. The Maxx 5. G.I. Joe 4. Dungeons & Dragons 3. TMNT (1987) 2. He-Man 1. Transformers G1 What’s yours? |
1 Batman-Justice League U. Yeah to me its all 1 show.
2 Thundarr 3 Avatar the Last Airbender and Korra 4 Inspector Gadget the 1980's 5 Space Ghost 6 Mighty Mightor 7 80's Ninja Turtles 8 Madeline 9 Bravestarr 10 80's MLP. |
This ain't gonna be in anything close to proper order, probably, but that's just how it goes. Close enough's close enough.
1. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) 2. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) 3. The Real Ghostbusters 4. Superman: The Animated Series 5. Batman: The Animated Series 6. Justice League/Justice League Unlimited 7. Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) 8. TMNT (2003) 9. MLP: FiM 10. TMNT (1987)* The Top 3 are pretty solid but anything after that can move up or down depending on my mood and what day it is. The Number 10 spot has a * because on any given day it could rotate between TMNT and a number of others that justmissed making the cut. Specifically Thundercats and Speed Racer, as well as the original Voltron. Garfield and Friends, Ren & Stimpy, and the Green Lantern animated series all kinda hover near that Number 10 spot, too. So whatever's Number 10 on any given day gets a * because it might not be there tomorrow. I also only used "kids cartoons" and purposely didn't consider things like The Critic, Family Guy, Simpsons, Aqua Teen, etc., because honestly this was difficult enough and I didn't want to muddy the waters any further. |
Ranking opinions and limiting them to only ten is hard. So instead I'm just going to throw out candidates in no particular order. I'm also assuming adult animation isn't off the table and that anime is:

My list, from best down
1. Gargoyles 2. Batman TAS 3. X-Men TAS 4. TMNT FW 5. TMNT 03/12 (tie) 6. The Real Ghostbusters 7. Dungeons and Dragons 8. Spider-Man TAS 9. Last Airbender/Legend of Korra (tie) 10. Darkwing Duck Some almost top tens- Voltron(80's), Transformers (gen 1-2), Robotech, Digimon (season 3), and He-Man/She-Ra (I put those together as they are connected) |
In no particular order:
TMNT 1987 TMNT 2003 Avatar the last Airbender The Legend of Korra Doug Hey Arnold Beavis & Butthead Rugrats Mega Man 1994 Sonic X |
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
2. Batman: The Animated Series 3. X-Men: The Animated Series 4. Superman: The Animated Series 5. Justice League/Unlimited 6. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes 7. Looney Tunes 8. Tom and Jerry 9. Young Justice 10. Archie's Weird Mysteries |
It's way to difficult for me to put them in order from 1-10. So I'll list them according to when the first episode aired.

1.Batman TAS - Justice League/JLU The Bruce Timverse
2. 2012 TMNT 3.X-men 90's 4.Spider-man 90's 5. Beast Wars 6. Avengers EMS 7.Ducktales 2017 8.Animaniacs 9. Tiny Toons Adventures 10. 2003 TMNT |

You know what's funny, I'm looking at you guys' lists and it's great to see Tiny Toons on some of them. Whenever I talk about cartoons to someone who may be a little younger than me, they confuse the show with Baby Looney Tunes. They remember Animaniacs but don't seem to remember Tiny Toons. |

Tiny Toons would be high on my Runner Up list, too. That was a really great ahow.
I should do another list for cartoons that aren't strictly "kids shows" because King of the Hill for example would be super-high on that. Like I said, this was very difficult for me already. Also, while I haven't seen it recently The Maxx was out of control. |
I hesitated when including adult fare
Again, ignoring the massive Anime market, of course: The Maxx was insanely good. 10/10. Aeon Flux, Home-Movies, Frisky Dingo, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Harvey Birdman all scratch various itches from time to time. This is how I remember Tiny Toons: |
Aqua Teen won't ever be cancelled!
Aqua Teen won't be dismantled! Aqua Teen gonna be together! Aqua Teen gonna be forever! ...And then they cancelled it. :lol: Good lord, so many awesome memories though. Haha, that stupid song from Tiny Toons is always in my head, too. |
In no particular order, here are my top 10
|
Some of the lists here basically scream "I grew up in the 80s or 90s" depending. I think the lists with more variety are a little more objective. It's tough but here is my top 10, i'll include some quality with some guilty pleasures and I'll try to not include more of one type of show for example I won't choose more than one DCAU show. List is in no particular order. No animated movies or anime being considered here.
Tough choices were made in the ones I had to cut from the list, some of my honorary mentions might be better than my choices but nostalgia does influence yet such is life and I haven't rewatched them recently enough to know if they could make it. Honorary mentions include: Cybersix, Shadow Raiders, Captain N, Gargoyles, an adult swim representative (space ghost or ATHF), a Nicktoons representative (most likely Rocko or Doug), freakazoid, Invasion America Also Dungeons and Dragons is a decent show for its time but I'm surprised to see it in so many people's top 10 list, it really isn't that good. Overdid my shilling but they have my thoughts on those shows. |
You also assume that people have exposed themselves to the same shows as other people have, though. Or care to.
I don't even recognize the names of half the shows people are listing, so maybe they're just fine but I personally can't speak to that. To me they don't mean anything and I'm not presently inclined to watch them, so I can't rank 'em. Not everybody even cares about the technical limitations or enhancements of a show, either. I know some people care a whole heck of a lot about production values, and while that's always nice and I appreciate a well-produced show it actually has nothing whatsoever to do with my own personal criteria. A lot of us definitely did grow up in the 80s/90s, and I can't speak for everyone but since then I've seen a lot of "good" cartoons but it's extremely rare since then that they'll make a personal connection or a lasting impression on me. |
Interesting that Turtles 2012 and didn’t top anyone’s list. Rise wasn’t even mentioned.
I like Todd, and Spawn might yet have his day in the Sun. He’s cool looking in MK11. |

I think a thread like this is one of the few places where objectivity shouldn't really have anything to do with the conversation. I figured subjective opinions is what's implied from the jump.
