why not?

On the other hand side, you could ask yourself "Why? Do we really need this?"

So, and why are these series your favourites?

01. TMNT classic: I must say that this series had great impact on me when I was a kid
02. SWAT Kats: Cats as outlaws, coll voice acting, great action.
03. The Simpsons: Despite the newer seasons being not so good, this series never seizes to make me laugh
04. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs: Back in the day, there wasn't anything better than cowboys in space, a giant robot and some of the best voices Germany has to offer.
05. Batman TAS. I always loved Batman, and combined with one of the best artists there is (Bruce Timm). What more can you ask for?
06. Batman Beyond: I always loved the references to the past. Like the Jokerz or old Bane.
07. Bugs Bunny: He always amused me when my life was hardest. That I'll never forget.
08. Samurai Champloo: Relatively new, but the series is written and animated too good.
09. Hellsing: Dark, evil and it changed my view on cartoons.
10. Wind of Amnesia: Got me hooked on anime.

And that'll be it from me. All that follows would just be some out of order stuff.

1. Transformers: Generation One, despite it's flaws, it's still better written than most of the s*it you see today, which includes the crappy Transformers animes, and it could be a great series when it wanted to be, the beggining of the Transformers franchise

2. Batman: The Animated Series: The show that not only changed the face of every cartoon for the better, but also paved the way for darker american shows, helping Bruce Timm create the amazing Superman, Batman Beyond, and Justice Leauge shows, which are still some producing of the greatest episodes ever, far better than the current anime garbage.

3. M.A.S.K: Proably the most underated cartoon of all time, transforming cars, masks with special abilities, consitent writing...THAT theme song, come on...that screams REVIVAL

4. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

5.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The original, and still the greatest, it paved the way for the Turtles' media conquest, and it's enduring legacy beyond the series' existence, leading to more faifthful version, ignore the fact this series butcherd the comics concepts, superior humour, great villains, good characters etc.

Red Dwarf isn't a cartoon-show, Hannah.

[Hannah]

oo x.X I didnt read the title correctly

[damnhooligan]

1. Danger Mouse - One of the few cartoons my parents would sit down and watch with me. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.

2. Old School Ninja Turtles - C'mon. Frickin' Ninja Turtles!

3. Invader Zim - TV's Frank from MST3k was head writer. Kevin McDonald from KITH was the Almighty Tallest Purple. Ted Raimi was Invader Skoodge. Consider my mind officially blown.

4. Rocko's Modern Life - Abstract oddball humor that appealed to me as a kid, and equally as an adult.

5. Ren and Stimpy - A classic, if ever there was one.

6. New School Ninja Turtles - Again, FRICKIN' NINJA TURTLES!

7. Beetlejuice - I loved the cartoon even more than the movie!

8. Clerks - Who is driving? Bear is driving! HOW CAN THAT BE?!

9. The Simpsons - The very foundation of my sense of humor.

10. The Critic - I'm a movie nerd, so the show immediately appealed to me. Also, Duke Phillips kicks ass.

Real Ghostbusters, seasons 1-3

Season 1 being the best.

There were a lot of things that seperated the Real Ghostbusters from the competition. I could write you a college thesis about the show if I wanted, but I haven't the time or the energy. So this post is gonna be all over the place, just so I can touch upon some of the many things that made this show (in it's early years) one of the best cartoons out there.

The Villains

Every week GI Joe fought Cobra. Every week the Autobots fought the Decepticons. Every week the TMNT fought Shredder. Sure, the diabolical plans were different each time but the bad guys were always the same. THe Real Ghostbusters were different. It was a new villain every week. You never knew what to expect. The more popular villains got to come back a second time (oddly, cameos aside, no villain appeared more than twice in the series). And nearly all the villains were spectacular. We had Samhaine, the spirit of Halloween. Then the was the Boogeyman, the scariest monster on the show. The Sandman, the Spirit of Ragnarok, Hob Anagarak, the ghosts of Wyatt Earp and his gang, etc etc. The writers gave one-shot villains more depth and motivation in a SINGLE episode than most 80's cartoons did in a 6-season span.

Some villain bios can be found here:

The Voice Acting

Can you believe, that at least for the first season, the show only had FIVE voice actors total? That's right. Every role for the first season was split amongst five actors. Lorenzo Music did Peter (you might recognize him as Garfield), Frank Welker did Ray, Slimer and most of the monsters (he's recognized as the best voice actor in America), Maurice LaMarche did Egon and nearly all the monsters Welker didn't do (he was the Brain from Pinky & the Brain, amongst a thousand other roles), Arsenio Hall did Winston (you all recognize him from his talk show and movie career), and Laura Hall did Janine and ALL the other female characters (her range was fantastic). Later seasons saw Dave Coulier replace Peter (Joey from Full House), Buster Jones replace Winston (Blaster from Transformers), and Kath Soucie replaced Janine (she is one of the best female voice actors out there). On top of the immense talent lots of vocal effects were applied to the monsters to give them all a very creepy sound.

The Writing

Undoubtedly the BEST part of the early seasons and the WORST part of the later seasons. The writing, for the first season at least, was extremely dark. In one particular episode and entire trainload of people DIE and come back as zombies. Pretty crazy for a "kid's show". The staff included veteran television and comic book author J. Michael Straczynski. He wrote what's recognized as the best episodes of the series. His writing style was remarkably dark and typically involved a lot of death, destruction and apocalyptic problems. But for howevr dark the show was it was also hilarious. The jokes were very clever and rarely relied on cliches. The dialogue exchanges were always my favorite.

Ray: I don't understand! Why didn't she believe us!?

Peter: Ray, we told her there was a monster in her kid's closet. We're lucky she didn't have us arrested.

Here's some wav files from the show, I recommend "Confessions". My favorite part of Devil To Pay:

You mean "Pirates of Dark Water" and "Toxic Crusaders"?

Both decent shows in their own right. Though a little strange that a hardcore NC-17 horror movie like Toxica Avenger could spawn a children's show.
