They just don't make them like they use to.

As the title says this is a bit of rant/nostalgia thread.
I was sick of watching the news the other day and decided to see what else was on, I came across the cartoon channel and thought awesome! but I was sadly disappointed with what passes for entertainment nowadays. so I want to know some of the cartoons/shows you watched.
The tick
Daria
The X-men (got to dig that heavy metal)
Captain "Green Mullet" Planet (and what would the 90's have been without a pro environmental cartoon :P)

The smurfs (made in Belgium )
Tintin or in our language Kuifje, I only found the intro on youtube (made in Belgium)
And some anime they used to broadcast, a long time ago before anime got retarded.
Rurouni Kenshin:
This is one of my favourite episodes, it's so touching.
And thrusty old Gundam Wing

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles not the new one the awesome one from the 80's ,
Mask,
Dragon ball, Dragonball Z , Dragonball GT, (im a huge dbz nut),
The original batman cartoon from the 90's led too some great feature films like , mask of the phantasm amongst others, also it was the truest representation too the "detective-side" of batman which is my favourite side of bats not everything is zipline's and bat-planes y'know...

true that charlie, I caught the latest version of turtles lately and i was gob-smacked at how terribly they had done at developing decent characters,
though their are exceptions too this i do like young justice, and the new green lantern animated series (sorta like clone wars) is very good,

Seconded. I just love Dragonball and I still watch the reprises on Cartoon Network. Almost all cartoons I watch nowadays are anime. I recommend Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and, my favorite, Nausicaa of The Valley of the Wind. Sometimes I stop on some pisode of The Simpsons, Futurama or Family Guy. But really, mot animes for me.

Phew, thank you Kyn. I was gettin a little worried and you pulled me out
I grew up on Merrie Melodies (Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, RoadRunner, Pepe' LePu, Tom and Jerry, Daffy the Duck, Woody Woodpecker and of course Scooby Doo) I think some of those may be Hannah Barbara toons.....these are full on late '70s early 80's watchin.
But one cartoon that really blew me away in the early 90's was AeonFlux....brilliant show

I forgot a few. BTW Charlie, aren't you a little young to be getting nostalgic over old cartoons.
Dragon's Lair was SO AWESOME!
Pirates of Dark Water! LOVED THAT ONE!
Johnny Quest. So GOOOOOOOD!
VOLTRON!!
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Of course the original Thundercats as well. :) -

well obviously Pokemon. Dragon ball Z, scooby doo (all variations, including the one when their all children.) the original Transformers was awesome. Yu-Gi-Oh was also really cool for me.
But most of all it was Pokemon. What can i say i grew up with it as my most major fascination.
Most of these shows others have said was before my time. I am only 16 and i would be lying to say that i watched them too.
