What other action-cartoons did you like as a child?

I used to watch:

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (over SVT)
Darkwing Duck (until it was considered too violent and taken off-air by SVT)
Ducktales (over SVT, TV 3)
Original Heman (a few episodes on the Sky Channel)
James Bond Junior (since it usually aired right before TMNT, also over TV 3)
Lucky Luke
Real Ghostbusters (TV 3)
Superfriends (used to air over TV 3 Thursday afternoons)
Talespin (over SVT)

And some others.

Powerpuff girls (new reboot is crap btw)
Teen Titans (TTGo is kinda lite but okay)
Ben 10
Kim Possible

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-20-2017, 08:52 PM

Batman TAS
Transformers/Beast Wars
Darkwing Duck
Spider man
X-men
Justice League

*Utrommaniac* · 01-20-2017, 08:57 PM

GARGOYLES!

I watched it pretty religiously even though I didn't have cable. Thanks to a friend who was able to record episodes on VHS for me. Though, I didn't like the World Tour episodes because they didn't have Brooklyn in them

.

Rewatching it recently, I realized...yeah, it's basically uses the same formula as TMNT did. Leader guy, sarcastic rebel guy, smart guy, food guy, old guy, friend girl.

*Prowler* · 01-20-2017, 09:03 PM

Mighty Max
Powerpuff Girls
Samurai Jack

And then I also liked anime but I don't think you're asking for that in this thread.

*Jephael* · 01-20-2017, 09:09 PM

I know it was live action, but Mighty Morphin Power Rangers always had a cartoonish feel to it.

*Powder* · 01-20-2017, 09:11 PM

Swat Cats, Powerpuff Girls, Jackie Chan Adventures, I dunno. I liked goofy stuff way more than action.

If you wanna count anime, I loved Gundam Wing, Big O, Dragonball Z, Outlaw Star, Trigun, etc.

T-U-R-T-L-E POWA! · 01-20-2017, 09:14 PM

He-Man, Thundercats, Batman The Animated Series, Transformers, Go Bots, Ghostbusters, Silverhawks, and really I know it's more of an "adventure" show but Ducktales is my all time favorite cartoon and I'm still a die hard Scrooge McDuck fan and am even wearing a shirt with him on it this very moment and own a huge collection of personalized Don Rosa artwork.

What's funny is I'm an 80's kid that was born in 82 but have always harbored quite a bit of animosity toward MMPR because I felt like it killed traditionally animated shows that I grew up on. It was a juggernaut for its generation the same way He-Man and TMNT was for mine though.

You're only a couple years or so younger than me actually. I was born in late 1980. I was also a big fan of the Disney Afternoon line-up.

Oh yeah. Me too. Big, big, big time. I really still think of that era as the golden age of cartoons. I also loved Woody Woodpecker, Garfield, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, and Dennis The Menace. Plus Toxic Crusaders.

Yeah me too. Too Stupid Dogs, Johnny Bravo, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Pinky and the brain, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, etc were more my thing overall.

Thats pretty much the Five man band trope

Smurfs and Alvin and the Chipmunks were ones I lived and died by too. Someone else mentioned Animaniacs and that was a great show. It still holds up quite well too. They put it on Netflix not too long ago and I enjoyed watching it again.

Samurai Jack was a great show. Very well written. I've not see every episode but every episode I have seen I have really enjoyed and think Jack is a really cool character.

I watched the 1994-1998 Spiderman TV-series and the 2001-2004 Justice League much later, 2005 since it aired before the episodes of the 2003-2009 TMNT series over Cartoon Network Sweden. But that was not when I was a child.

*DarkFell* · 01-21-2017, 08:35 AM

Gargoyles
Mutant League
Batman TAS
SatAM (Occasionally AoStH in small doses.)
TaleSpin
Gummi Bears (If you count that as action cartoon.)
Filmation's Ghostbusters
Animaniacs (I bet I would really understand the jokes / humor more as an adult.)
Darkwing Duck
Reboot (Not a cartoon, but it was still pretty awesome IMO.)

Looney Tunes gets an honorable mention.

I got into BraveStarr, He-Man, and Spiderman TAS in my adult years.

Would also like to watch a few more Mighty Max episodes. Courage the Cowardly Dog still remains on my list.

EDIT - I forgot to mention Beast Wars (another CG show.) I'm sure that there are other shows that I cannot remember.
