Rocko's Modern Life was ten years ago Anark.

You know that show was only just ok to me much better than it's modern day wannabe though which is camp lazlo.
I never much cared for Rocko because it was made to replace Ren & Stimpy at the time it's shows creator John K. was heavily being screwed by Nick.
But in retrospect of the show I can it's a pretty funny show I wouldn't say the best to come in years though.
Oh and yeah that list above is moronic.
Goof Troop was a great show.
You know what show dissapoints me looking back on it that would have to be Thundercats I loved that show sooooo much as a child had every action figure and everything. I still think the characters are cool as well as still seeing the animation as beautiful. But the show it's self now being an adult just comes off to me as very boring or moronic at times. But I guess allot of those shows where at the time.

I will have to disagree with that list. Why did they not mention truly stupid stuff like "Road Runner" (EVERYONE I have polled want Wile E. Coyote to FINALLY catch the Road Runner) and "Mister Magoo" (although the US history special is actually good) and some of the really deformed stuff they have these days (no naming names but a certain Nicktoon that anthropomorphizes the simplest animal out there comes to mind).

I have been obsessed with Captain Planet. Transformers and Jem are great. Silverhawks is good although not as much as Thundercats. Pokemon was fine at the beginning but I lost interest in it- although I still refuse to consider it bad in any way. The others I am not super familiar with but still seem decent.

You lads appear to miss the word "lately" in my statement. You know, as in "of late" not "ten or fifty years ago." I think the cartoon world needs something ridiculously crazy like Spongebob or Ren and Stimpy or Tex Avery or whatever whackjob cartoon you can think of. They're needed to show people that crazy can work. See Spongebob, huge success among all ages. As was Ren and Stimpy and Tex Avery still is awesome today. They don't need to be amazingly original or full of new ideas, it's enough for them if they're batsh*t nuts and stir up things a bit.

wow it's kinda like you know a show about nothing...but a cartoon!

Man, those are some good picks. I'm really nodding my head with "Pokemon" and "13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo". They are really...well...bad, to say the least. 13 Ghosts kind of raped Scooby for me... *shudders*

You know what are the WORST Mr. Magoos? The 1970's ones where he has that obnoxious dog McBarker... the episodes are ALL about him. It's the Annoying dog show with special guest host mr. Magoo for cryin out loud.

A few Episodes dealt with run-aways and drugs and social problems and aimed at an older audiance and with these story lines instead of just narrowly aiming at the kidde girls in their audiance. Heack this show was even a freakin animated soap opra alot of the time and had more intergerity than modern day whore-wanna-be girl cartoons like Bratz. This show actually attempted to have an on going story-line and and indepth characters that went beyond rock music and fashion.

Well, this list is as creditble as that stupid AFI list./.. it had some credibility untill they shoved "Titanic" into the list... are you serious?

[MrOldSchool]

Oh boy! I've got a reason to hate NBC! Many of those shows they listed are awesome! The only bad one I can think of on that list is Captain Planet.

[ToTheNines]

Did you read the Pokemon section? He said anime is known for smooth animation.... is he ****ing serious? I didn't like alot of the things this dude said, but holy ****.

[majesty329]

This guy did not do his research there are way worse cartoons then the ones he named and a lot of those shows shouldn't even be on that list and I would say that there were worse Disney cartoons then Goof Troop.

[Deathknight]

Yeah, the guy who wrote this list has obviously not seen a lot of cartoons that have been on. Anyone remember The Brothers Flub on Nickelodeon? That show was sooooo bad, much worse than anything this guy mentioned.

[Barkworm]

I guess he focused on popular shows to have a greater effect on people. Just like the Raspberry awards.

Canadian dromies probably will remember a couple of doozies
that were shown over and over:

Hercules - That irritating one with Newton, Toot and Daedlus (I don't
know how to spell his name). I think this one was done in
Toronto, but I'm not totally sure. Global TV showed this one
early in the morning.


Rocket Robin Hood - Produced by Krantz Films in Toronto.

Oh lord! Why did you have to mention Hercules? That was just painful to watch...now the theme song will be stuck in my head...my fave line from the song was fire in his eyes, thunder in his thighs OMG, just thinking about is making me giggle!

Indeed... while I think their greatest shows were Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Talespin and Darkwing duck (Listen to Jim Cumming's voice work on those last two... you can tell he was having fun doing those shows), I really do like Goof Troop, and both movies (though i kinda feel bad... I get the impression that Peg left Pete and took Pistol with her and both pets died). While not as good as the first few series, certainly not the worst. As I said earlier, it was after that show they made some bad choices. They pretty much only made Bonkers to give the middle finger to Amblin entertainment for splitting up the Roger Rabbit license (though I did enjoy it) and it took them forever to make a really good one... (I don't count Gargoyls... I don't hate it, I just never got into it).

I think Schnookums and Meat would be one of their worst. I am a fan of Bill kopp (Eet the Cat co-creator), but this show was just Disney's shallow attempt at cloning Ren and Stimpy. While the Pith Possum segments had potential, I felt the rest of the show's quality was uneven.

I read an old thread today where they said that some Mirage and Archie comics seemed like a TMNT x Captain Planet crossover.

In an episode of Captain Planet, the TMNT (or at least some creatures resembling them) do show up! I loved that episode, although it's not my favorite.

I do not know why Captain Planet is bashed so much. If it got me obsessed, it is for a reason.

You wanna see real **** on disney? Go check it out now a days, they aren't cartoons but those terrible "cit-coms" are some of the worst displays of acting i've ever seen, and they aren't a bit funny. Disney has a few cartoons these days, but they need to go back to how it used to be.

[Time Mistress]

Transformers and Jem are awesome! That list sucks!

Considering those aren't cartoons at all....

But for idiotic, juvvenile, pedestrian, fart joke filled, nightmarish Home Alone and Lizzie MCQuire knockoffs, they must be doing somthing right, cuz they're killing Cartoon Network and Nick in the ratings... to the point where Cartoon Network is considering making LIVE action programs.... (Please start another thread for that if anyone wants to comment).

what morons! they forgot Kwikie Koala. or whatever it was...it was retarded.

jem was retarded. popeye and sons are idiotic and pure crap. and i love 1930s popeye, the 80s killed it for me.

I think I mentioned Quickie Kowala.... Yeah. It was created by the cartoon great, Tex Avery. But after he died before it was in production they probably screwed it around and made it worse.

Popeye and Sons.... I never saw it and don't intend to. I heard horrible things about a 1970s Popeye series where he was a caveman and stuff like that... a variety sketch cartoon series...
I liked a lot of the TV and Famous Studios Popeyes, but to me, the ONLY studio to do it justice was Fleichers.....
