Nazulu:

The first Spider Man animation was awesome too, had both the original venom and carnage in it and every other Marvel hero if I remember it right.

First spiderman cartoon?

Right Ahem: Earthworm jim, reboot, transformers (G1 of course), TMNT, trapdoor, countless anime, code lyoko (just for the AWESOME theme tune), ducktales (again AWESOME theme song)... I shall edit with more as I think of them.

Do you mean the Fox Kids one?

OK, maybe it wasn't the first, thankyou Sin. Ill go hunt around!

I'm appauled by the lack of love for Wacky Races in this thread.

Thundercats, He-Man, Bravestar, Samurai Pizza Cats, Chip n Dale, Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, First TMNT series, Swatcats. Best cartoons ever. Modern stuff is rubbish (wow, I sound like a grandfather)

Mine is Roger Ramjet.
here is an episode.

Widget The World Watcher

i agree with you that there isnt no more good cartoons yesh but my fave oldie is Animaniacs, good old series but i dont have any clips since i am at school and youtube is blocked

Thundercats, Visionaries, Brave Star, Bucky 0 Hare, He-man, Space Ghost, Johnny Quest, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Catch the pigeon, Wacky races, Ren and Stimpy, Earthworm Jim, Swat Cats, Doug, Garfield, Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry. And thats me just getting started. I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid.

Something not mentioned yet.

Pro Stars!!

Anyone who knows of the show etc wins an internet

Edit: Oh god forgot Xmen, Fantastic 4, Iron Man, Hulk, Silver surfer, Spiderman and such, but some of these aren't as old as the others

Spartacus and the Sun beneath the Earth. (original name of spaceship was Shagma.. Understandable change in english version)

It was however in english (I'm not), with subtitles, before I learned to read, so I didn't understand anything. Still thought it was freakin cool! Remember the songs like it was yesterday, even though it's been something like 20 years.. I wonder if it's on DVD yet.. *checks* Yup!

Fraggle Rock still is the favorite show for kids, even though it isn't a cartoon, it deserves a honourable mention.

No love for COPS (the animated one, not the police chase collection)?
I wonder if there's a way to check if Agent B.P. Vess is the first African-American cartoon character to ever be in a position of such high authority.

I, like many here, also followed the usual Disney/WB after-school lineup in my youth. Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Animaniacs, Batman, Beast Wars, etc. Krusty the Clown will never fail to remind me of Evil Jim and Megavolt.

TheGhostOfSin:
Do you mean the Fox Kids one?

It's all about Popeye and Olive Oyle..

Nazulu:

TheGhostOfSin:
Do you mean the Fox Kids one?

No this one, 1990s!

That is the Fox Kids one.

Animaniacs, The Snorks, TMNT, The Smurfs, Masters of the Universe, Darkwing Duck

Cartoons now-a-days are just crap, I mean I realize they were all corny and cheesy when we were kids, but my god, they're just really bad now. I can't even force myself to watch the droll they put on the air, nor would I put my kids through it.

It's all about Digimon.

Tom & Jerry. Can't get better than two animals beating the shit out of each other.

Also Silver Surfer. The cartoon was fucking weird and almost psychedelic. The ending was also really depressing (everyone died). Very strange for a kids show. Pity he was such a douche in the Fantastic 4 movie.

Amnestic:

Swat Cats, I don't know how old the cartoon is but it came on often when I was a kidling. I haven't seen it in 5 years now!

Hell yeah Swat Cats. Loved that as a kid.

If you get that Boomerang channel, the one with all the older shows, it's usually on at like midnight or something =D I catch it every now and then, brings back such good memories... it could make a fairly good video game, too, if they did it right.

I don't watch TV anymore. Any shows I want to see I watch online/torrent. Not entirely legal but I prefer watching on my monitor to my TV screen.

Recess, Sharky and George, Albert the 5th Musketeer, X-Men (original, although evolution was good) and i loved Animals of Farthing Wood

Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Dexter's Lab, TMNT (the older one, of course), the '90s Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bro's...
I could keep going, there was a lot of good ones that are missed today...

Yeah but you put in the older one with the original theme song.

Moomins

Yeah thats right.
What were they?

Nazulu:

Yeah but you put in the older one with the original theme song.

And a link to the new one.

Dragon ball Z i swear i was addictied to that show watched every episode

Anyone else remember C.O.P.S? with chief bulletproof, mutt etc, and villians like big boss and berserko?

They had some sweet toys (cap guns and hidden weapons, woo).

I've got a vague recollection about a cartoon from roughly 1985 called Alias the Jester.

Oh, and to whomever mentioned He-Man... don't watch it today. I saw an episode on boomerang a couple of weeks ago, and I cringed for the entire show. Childhood memory = shattered.

Johnny Quest.

Erana:
Reboot!
Sam and Max!

OK, so those aren't really old, but I can't really decipher the vague jumbles of memories involved with Merry Melodies cartoons.

Hell yeah! Reboot was freaking awesome. Darkwing Duck is also one of the good ones.

Though I will say the pinnacle of childrens entertainment lies squarely with Pinky and The Brain. Nothing beats that in my opinion. especially the episode where pinky takes over the world with a oyster petting zoo, and shiny pants.

Animaniacs and Tiny Toons also get honorable mention in my list.

ShogunGino:
Rugrats was my life as a kid. I also watched all the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shows, the first three seasons of Digimon(I want DVDs, dammit!), and since Yu Yu Hakusho is from the mid-ninety's, add that to the list. Tale Spin was pretty cool.

Other than these, there were a lot of good shows that I watched on Nickelodeon before the went the path of the Disney Channel, but I don't remember a lot of them.

Talespin was pretty cool, watched it everyday.

X-men, TMNT, Sonic The Hedgehog (all 3 series'), Power Rangers, Tom & Jerry, Loony Toons, The Moomins (please someone else remember that), Mona The Vampire, Sharky And George, The Herbs, Pinky & The Brain, The Animaniacs, Heavy Gear (and that), Spiderman, Shaman King and The Simpsons

EDIT: Reboot!!

EDIT AGAIN: Thundercats, He-Man, Incredible Hulk, Transformers, Topcat and many many others

Battle Of The Planets (a.k.a Gatchaman)
Star Blazers
Samurai Pizza Cats
Ulysses 31
Ancient Cities of Gold

Dont know if this counts as old for all of you but Rocko's Modern Life was one of the greatest cartoons that i watched along with Two Angry Beavers. Old shows for me haha.

I am surprised no one has mentioned it yet. I was a huge G.I. Joe fan when I was little. I still remember constantly trying to make $3.15 because that was the exact cost of a new G.I. Joe figure.
