Mine would be Family Guy and Robot Chicken.
-
I voted Other. There are many great cartoons which I love to death.
-
The Simpsons and Futurama.
-
Mine would be Family Guy. Just Family Guy. I don't really like cartoons.
-
Futurama and South Park.
-
Okay, let me get this straight. You have both Simpsons and Futurama on your list, both by one person, yet Family Guy is also there but not accompanied by its other creation American Dad?
You fail.
But as much as I like those cartoons, none of them beat Cow and Chicken, my personal favorite, along with a couple others, like Powerpuff Girls, the Ed's, Animaniacs, and Beavis and Butthead.
-
Family Guy and South Park, I guess.
-
I can't vote for any of those because I don't like any of them and Robot Chicken isn't a cartoon.
The cartoons I consider to be the greatest are Rocky & Bullwinkle, earlier Dexter's Laboratory, and, at the moment, Yakitate!! Japan.
-
So why are all the good cartoons for adults and the bad ones for children? Don't you think that these so called "bad cartoons" were made for younger people and you just don't like them?
Spongebob. Don't say anything about this, because you're not changing my mind.
-
I voted "other" because I either don't know anything about, don't like, or freaking hate (like South Park) all the cartoons on that list.
-
Face it PaperLuigi, most [American] [kids'] cartoons are mind numbing garbage.
-
Well i voted for The Simpsons. I woulda voted other if it wern't for that one, all the shows on thier other than simpsons are the ones I hate. you shouldn't make a poll fore something that can have so many other choices.Because it doesn't give us much variety. i like others like Dragon Ball,Dexter's lab,Looney tunes, Tom ans Jerry all the good cartoons.
-
Man I hate polls like these, asking your favorite of something of which there are thousands of choices and offering you about 7 and Other.
-
I can't vote. My choices are:
Simpsons
Futurama
South Park
Family Guy
Other (too many to mention)
All of these shows crack me up. They're extremely humorous, and each have interesting and unique characters.
-
Invader ZIM is my favorite cartoon.
I also like:
The Simpsons
AquaTeen HungerForce
South Park
The Angry Beavers
Rocko's Modern Life
And others too.
-
I voted for Family Guy and Robot Chicken.
BUT...I also like
Futurama
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
the Simpsons (anything past the first season)
-
Face it PaperLuigi, most [American] [kids'] cartoons are mind numbing garbage.
Nope. Not changing my mind. That's your opinion, and I respect it. We just have different levels of humor. I laugh easily.
-

That's because I listed the cartoons that are popular and the ones that I like. I don't like American Dad because it's just stupid. I mean, I created this poll, so you can't tell me what to do. :P
-
American Dad, stupid?
*Insert long drawn-out evil laughter here*
Oh well, I can't change your mind so I'll just leave you be. Though I agree with Lizard Dude, a poll is totally unneccassery for an open ended question like this.
-
I don't even know why they put Where My Dogs At? as an option.
-
/sarcasm Wait, Where My Dog At is a cartoon? It isn't even decent English! If kids watch a show like that, their speaking capacities will be severly limited at best! sarcasm\
Actually, I have no clue what "Where my Dogs at" is.
-
It's a stupid show on MTV.
-
Um..I actually like the show, thank you.
-
ah sorry, It's a show on MTV.
-
Well, when I was seven, I made a comic called Super John, named after my best friend. The bad guy was called Dr. Scott, named after my brother's friend. I can say much about drawing quality, but I still think it's one of my greatest cartoons.
-
I was watching Billy and Mandy yesterday while I was babysiting for this weird kid. I watched the brain episode, where this alien comes from outer space and sings a stupid song about brains through the entire episode while Billy gets brains for him and eats them!! Another one was when Billy turned into a fat superhero and his dad was picking his nose. He actually took out his brain and ATE IT!!! Wow, this must be the most disgusting and gory cartoon I had ever seen. I HATE IT!!!
By the way, [adult swim] is actually showing Peewee's Playhouse episodes. Do you guys like it, I don't.
-
You can't say Billy and Mandy is stupid by basing it off of just two cartoons. Honestly, I didn't like the brain one either (it was pretty stupid), but you need to watch some of the other brilliant ones before you make a lousy opinion like that.
Anyways, I voted for The Simpsons and Other. I did not care for the other cartoons on that list, as they are mainly violent and have pretty bad language/themes.
-
I actually liked that "brain" episode of Billy & Mandy. Mainly because of the way it parodied Little Shop of Horrors and Micheal Jackson's Thriller music video.
-
Jesus christ, Freakazoid. None of these cartoons you guys like are even pre-2000. Are your memories bad or did you just not watch cartoons when you were younger?
-
Maybe they're not old enough to know about good cartoons. I think I'll add Inspector Gadget to my list.
-

Maybe because they got cancelled because it was either bad or just plain stupid. Some of the best cartoons (like Futurama and Simpsons) and their old episodes that aren't pre-2000 doesn't mean that they're still good.
-
Yeah, you never watched cartoons. Some cartoons that were good enough to have long series eventually ended because that's what TV shows generally do. Your logic fails again.

I have watched cartoons ever since I was a baby. And you're statemnet doesn't make sense to me. Generally a cartoon doesn't die beacasue it just does:
Reasons
1) Either the creator left the show and then crappy new episodes came baecuse of that, meaning ratings fell.
2) Not good ratings
3) Just plain stupid and dull, meaning, again, less ratings
4) Creator died
5) Creator runs out of ideas for new episodes, cancels it.
-
I think you're both wrong. I liked Sesame Street when I was little.
-
No, if you're smart you don't keep a show going for years and years and years, recycling the same material over and over.
-
My greatest cartoon is either TMK or TMK 2. I personally think TMK2 came out better, but others say that TMK 1 was better. Oh well.

Well, crap. I forgot about Naruto. Yeah, It's not much of a cartoon, but it's still funny. I like ninja's (Naruto has a ton of that). Naruto is my favorite anime, if that qualifies as a cartoon.
-
I just wanted to say that I am happy because Animaniacs is coming to DVD July 25. :D
-
The Ren and Stimpy Show!
-
I like Ren and Stimpy, only that they got annoying when the recycled to many episodes. And pieced them together to make a new one. Like a clip show.
-
I was very young when Ren and Stimpy aired, and I understod none of it and was partially freaked out by them. So I didn't watch them much.
-
Wahaha! I forgot about The Ren and Stimpy Show. I used to watch it when I was around four and I loved it! Sure it's creepy and weird, but so am I. So, we're like brothers from different but linked universes.
I also forgot Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Now THAT is my greatest cartoon.
-
Anyone remember Hysteria? That was about the only educvational toon I liked. (Sesame doesn't count as a toon)
-
Suothpark is the most unintelligent and distastefull show that has ever been aired.
However, I love the Looney Toons, those were always the best. I also like Spongebob.
-
Ah, finally! Someone else who likes Spongebob.
-
Anyone remember the crappy 'limited animation' Hanna-Barbera cartoons? I love those as well.
-
Ha, that's exactly what Space Ghost makes fun of: limited Hanna-Barbera animation, and it's a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. This is one of the things that makes SG: CTC such a great show.
-
I can't say I watched all that many cartoons. I was very into Wheel of Fortune as a youngster and in fact still watch the show on a regular basis. I actually got to see a live taping of the show in 1998, and saw the set when I visited Disney World in 1989!
For me, the best childhood show is and always will be Mr. Rogers. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA, which is his hometown, and I have met the show's guitarist, Joe Negri. He's actually a professor of music at Duquesne University, which is in Pittsburgh and is not too far from the Mellon Arena where the Pittsburgh Penguins play. Mr. Rogers would always manage to teach a lesson and make me feel good about myself. When I went off to college, my grandmother bought me a book called "Life According to Mr. Rogers". It's a great read.
I know a lot of people my age (I will be 20 in September) bash Mr. Rogers because the show doesn't have the violence and whatnot found in other cartoons like Bat Man, but you will never find a better children's show. As a future elementary school teacher, it always helps to remember what filled you with humanity as a child.
And yes, I did take heat for not watching the same shows as a lot of people. I found some books at the library and read them with the intent of finding out what these other shows were about, but I could not coerce myself to like them. I think it's because I was so used to Mr. Rogers.
There were two other excellent shows on PBS that I watched in elementary school. One was called "Square One" and it was a very entertaining show that taught mathematics behind the scenes. It featured some great segments such as Mathnet Detective Agency, Math-Man the Pacman clone, and my personal favorite, the music videos. One song that I particularly loved was called "Less than Zero". The lyrics went "Less than zero, he's an empty hero...I'm just a negative guy!" So entertaining yet so subliminally educational.
I also used to watch the original Carmen Sandiego show. While my intent was not to learn some geography, I picked a lot of it up anyway. I liked to watch it because of the show's singing group, Rockapella. I own two Rockapella albums and played one all the way to Duluth on a 1993 vacation! I also had the computer game for my Macintosh, but I usually needed the desk encyclopedia that came with it to win (until I hit middle school).
If you truly want a good animated cartoon, however, I would go with the old Mickey Mouse shorts from the 1930s. They're not as "kiddy" as the modern Mickey Mouse and are actually quite funny. You can find them on DVD these days. When your grandparents were teenagers, they would show this at the theater before the movie and they would sometimes be more entertained by the cartoon shorts than the movies themselves! The old Pink Panther series were usually good too.
-
I used to watch all of those PBS shows, but they're not cartoons...
-
Funny. That guy mentioned Mickey shorts. I just a got a whole set of DVD's full of old Disney shorts as a late Birthday gift. Yes, I am a classic cartoon fan.
-
Those old cartoons are so great. I remember watching Looney Toons when I was first up in the morning. They were the really old ones, where everyone looked weird and the color was faded, but they were probably the greatest. :D
One reason I liked them was because, being of small mind, I couldn't possibly imagine how many episodes there must be! They never maintained a plotline, so it was basically like picking up on a new character every other episode.
Dexter's Laboratory was also the greatest (for a while, the new ones suck). I remember my favorite episode was the one where Dexter had to get the photos of his lab back before Mom could develop them. It was a parody of James Bond. So random. So grand.
As I said about the new ones, they suck because they took the personalities of the characters and really over-emphasized them. Dee Dee, yes, was known as a ditz, but everyone once in a while, she would do something smarter than Dexter. In the new ones, however, you'll find her role as a stupid, very annoying, stick. And what's with the eyelashes? She had more character without constant eyelashes!! X( (But that has to do with the new animation).
-
The only thing I like about the newer Dexter episodes is the addition of Mandark's parents(they're hippies, no wonder the kid is such a psychotic), but they retconned his backstory and disposed of his sister(who was Deedee's rival in an older episode), which I don't like.
-
(they're hippies, no wonder the kid is such a psychotic)
?
Mandark's dad was cool. Mandark is a freak of nature by himself.
-
Hey, what was Mandark's real name again? I remember his parents were hippies, and Dexter's dad tried to fight Mandark's dad in their cars. Ah, good times.............
-
I like The Simpsons and Futurama, but I think Bugs Bunny cartoons are some of the best in the world. I like how they were made to classical music. My particular favs are the one where Bugs is a barber. I think it was "The Barber of Seville". I also like "I killed the wabbit" or whatever it's called. Maybe those were on the same show or something. I really want the gold DVDs, but don't want to spend too much money right now.
-
I love the fact that lots of stuff in Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons that was considered harmless back when they was made is considered offensive now.

Please do tell.
-
Oh, Vid just wants to say that. He doesn't actually have any examples.
-
it's not offensive, it's just hilarous. I love all those old cartoons too.
-
Hey, what was Mandark's real name again?
Susan. Mandark and Dexter's rivalry was retconned to have started when Dexter mistook Mandark for a girl.

Have you seen Weaklings on http://animated.deviantart.com yet?They are hilarius!
