What was your favourite cartoon as a kid?

[S.J.]

Basically what the title says!

When I was <5 it was Babar, The Wiggles and Sesame Street.

Older, it would have been whatever was on. Pokémon and Fairly Odd Parents were top tier. I remember watching a lot of Kim Possible lol. I cannot remember what other shows were on??

What did you watch?

 

[OswinOswald]

I seem to remember watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with my brothers, also the XMen cartoons. I also loved Gummi Bears, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers. And DuckTales (I loved the reboot too!). I didn't have the Disney channel but I remember I would go to my friend's houses to watch cartoons!

Hmm before the age of 5, Hi-5 and the Wiggles were some of my favourites, but I do remember watching others I enjoyed.
6-10 I was really into Pokémon, I remember waking myself up at like 6am to watch it because that was the only time it was on TV. I also got into Fairy Tail at around 9ish lol? A friend kept giving me USBs at school with episodes on it I also like Hannah Montana lol There were a bunch of other shows on TV I liked but none I really got obsessed with.
Around 11 I found One Piece and that has been my show obsession ever since. Also got back into Boohbah, which creeped me out as a kid but I really liked as I got older hahAH.

Codename: Kids Next Door is the first cartoon I remember watching as a kid.

 

[~Kilza~]

Off the top of my head, I loved cartoons such as Arthur, The Simpsons, Futurama, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons as a kid. I don't really know if I had a favorite between them, lol.

 

[Snek]

I loved a lot shows on Cartoon Network such as Scooby Doo. I remember that I liked the older cartoons more than the new ones that came out but I also liked Dexters Lab and Samurai Jack. I also got interested in anime at a younger age so DB, Yu-yu Hakusho, Inuyasha are just a few that I liked.

 

[Dinosaurz]

I think scooby doo I loved scooby doo a lot
I remember watching the movie and having the video game too
Man I miss watching it as a kid

 

[MiniPocketWorld]

5 and under was Barney and The Simpsons, sesame street, sailor moon and that's all I can remember.

Older was The Simpsons still, pokemon, Arthur, Cyberspace and that's all I can remember.
We had basic TV, so after alot of the cartoons left for cable, all that there was, was pbs.

 

[Ichiban]

Spongebob for sure

 

[Holla]

Clifford the big red dog, the big comfy couch, scooby doo, blues clues (the original with Steve). I know there’s more than that but that’s what was at the top of my head.

 

[You got mail!]

The top ones for me were SpongeBob and Ed, Edd n Eddy

 

[Plume]

Pokemon! Before that, I was super into TMNT.

 

[VernalLapin]

Spongebob, Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and Adventure Time.

 

[Peach_Jam]

I liked a lot
spongebob, teen titans, DBZ, invader zim, my life as a teenage robot, maisy etc

 

[Kitsuragi]

The backyardigans LMAO

also SpongeBob, chowder, my life as a teenage robot (huge crush on the bee queen) and codename: kids next door. Code lyoko as well but I remember nothing about that show.

 

[CylieDanny]

I had alot of favorites when I was younger, I really liked Backyardigans, Blues Clues, when I was really little

But when I was ilder it was Kid vs Cat, 6teen, Pokemon, snd The Loonatics were my number ones. Though I did have many others I enjoyed too!

 

[Xara]

i actually preferred live-action shows when i was a kid, but atomic betty was always my favourite cartoon! i think it was mostly popular in canada, which is a shame since it was such a good show, and it deserved to be more popular! i would literally stay up until 5am just to watch episodes of it on the cartoon network (formerly teletoon), that’s how much i loved it though, even though the show was called atomic betty, sparky and x-5 were always the stars of the show for me

 

[Croconaw]

I watched Pokémon a ton when I was a kid. Some cartoons I got into when I was older and (way) outside of the age demographic were 6teen and Hey Arnold. I don't think I watched much television when I was a kid because all I'd do was sleep and play video games. I hated school, being bullied by disrespectful children and all. I had no motivation to do much else.

 

[Rio_]

I made a top 5 favourite show list when I was a kid, and they were all cartoons, so I guess I'll post that

1. Pokémon
2. Digimon
3. Powerpuff Girls
4. Dragon Ball Z (It's DBZ's fault I've always said "Zee" like an American)
5. Sailor Moon

There were so, so, so much more that I also loved though! I was obsessed with cartoons- kinda still am

Here are some of my favorite cartoon shows from my childhood and early teens:

- Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
- Beavis and Butthead
- CatDog
- Courage the Cowardly Dog
- Dexter's Laboratory
- Ed, Edd n Eddy
- Hey Arnold!
- Invader Zim
- Jackie Chan Adventures
- Johnny Bravo
- Kim Possible
- Looney Tunes (Merry Melody classic cartoons)
- Recess
- Rocket Power
- Rocko's Modern Life
- Teen Titans
- The Angry Beavers
- The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
- The Powerpuff Girls
- The Ren & Stimpy Show (The original, not the weird Spike TV one)

If anime counts, I also liked Cardcaptors, Case Closed, Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Hamtaro, Inuyasha, Lupin the III, Paranoia Agent, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu Yu Hakusho. They were all on either Toonami or [adult swim] at various times in my childhood/tweenish years.

The 90s and early 2000s were a fantastic time to grow up when it comes to the animated shows airing on television.


If I had to pick absolute favorites from the American cartoons list, probably Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Rocko's Modern Life, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and The Ren & Stimpy Show.
