I checked to see if there is a topic like this, but I couldn't find one and if there is then it hasn't been posted in for at least 8 months.
THIS IS NOT AN ANIME TOPIC!! There is already an existing Anime topic, this is for NON-JAPANESE cartoons. Talk about any American/European cartoon.
Now, my fave is the Generation 1 Transformers from the 1980's. The toyline is from Japan, but the cartoon was made in America, to get that clear. I have a DVD collection bought from Amazon of all the episodes. Did anyone else watch it?

Beast Wars

Many good times, indeed. One of my favorite shows from my youth.

[Platinum Sun]

That's a tough one. It used to be Dragon Booster, but it got cancelled. Now I'd have to go with Avatar: the Last Airbender. (Which is absolutely not Anime!)

[Caael]

Oh, I used to love Tom & Jerry. It was like itchy and scratchy, but actually funny. Spike the bulldog was the best character.

[Aquamarine]

Yeah, Tom & Jerry was great. Some of Cartoon Networks cartoons are really good. Samurai Jack, the old Dexter's Laboratory episodes, Megas XLR(though they steal too many ideas from Transformers), and above all Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I've forgotten a few...
GL, was it only Beast Wars you watched? Did you watch G1(it wasn't called Generation 1 back then, it was only The Transformers, fans now call it G1 so that everyone knows which TF series they are talking about)?

[Caael]

Omg, Arthur was the best cartoon ever when I was young. I dont remember the details, but it was teh pwnag3. It had this guy with glasses and a yellow jumper. Oh I loved Arthur

I remember watching the sequel to Beast Wars, which was titled Transformers, but I've never seen Generation 1.

And yes, I forgot to mention: Avatar: The Last Airbender! How could I forget that? Thanks for reminding me, PS.

And Arthur is totally awesome. Got to love PBS!

I've still got the theme tune in my head. I used to like Arthur as well.
When I was younger I used to love a cartoon called Mr Benn. It was about a man who goes to a fancy dress shop and buys clothes. When he wears them he goes to whatever the clothes are about.
I know it sounds pretty bad but trust me, it was cool when I was 7.
There's also Wacky Races. Couldn't beat that either.

[Hotshot101]

My favorites Include: Avatar: The Last Air Bender, i also enjoyed that transformer series one sorta better then the ones now. I also liked samuria jack. A Jetix cartoons. I also always thought Megas XLR was anime.

[FlamingDuck]

I suppose this is for favorite animated cartoons, not newspaper ones. Which, for the record, is Calvin and Hobbes.

But, since I don't have any channels, I had a very deprived childhood. The only time I could ever watch cartoons was when I was at a relative's house or something. But I remember loving Tom and Jerry. And Samurai Jack was also pretty cool. There were a bunch of really old Cartoon Network ones that I can't remember the names of, but they were beyond incredible. I'll see if I can't find them somewhere...

http://www.vgcats.co...s/?strip_id=208 It was just the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Tom and Jerry on the list. :(
I used to like the Amazing Spiderman cartoons they did (not the one's from the 60's). You can still see them occasionly. Perfect to watch when you're stuck at home ill.

[Caael]

I look back at the old spiderman and I get deja vu. Cartoons these days are Oh so crap compared to the ol' classics. My little brother watches cartoons still, and they make me want to puke. ' Pit and kantrop'? What the hell have people been smoking these days? Biros?

[TheEnglishman]

I've looked at the cartoons on nowadays and they're a bit rubbish. I'd rather watch Mr Benn again than 'Mona the vampire'.

[Golden Legacy]

I remember the original X-Men cartoon... very well done, I might add.

[Toasty]

Megas XLR was pretty good. Along with Foster's, Ed Edd & Eddy, Tom & Jerry, Dexters Lab....I could go on. :(

[Aquamarine]

I hate Ed Edd '& Eddy...
Batman: The Animated Series from the 1990's! How could I have forgotten!? That was truly awesome.

As I said already, it wasn't called Generation 1. It was called just "The Transformers", or without the "The". But people call it Generation 1 today because there are so many Transformers series people get them mixed up. And Generation 1 was the first ever Transformers, while Transformers: Beast Wars was the second or third.

[Somia]

Fairy Odd Parents was funny. I loved that show cause of the stupidity. (And other things) They have nice character sketches.

[TheEnglishman]

Pinky and the Brain! How did I forget about that! That's one of the cartoons that I still find pretty funny.
I did get pretty annoyed when my sister said I was the brain though. :P

[Aquamarine]

Good ol' SpongeBob Squarepants! Who could forget that! One of the most hillarious cartoons ever. My head almost fell off a few times from laughing(not literaly).

[Caael]

Fairy odd parents used to rule! I remember one where they went to a theme park, but not much else.

I dont watch TV anymore though. I watch Friends, The simpsons, Futurama, and Doctor Who.

I never really found that funny. Well some of it is quite funny and I can understand why it's more popular than other cartoons, but I don't like it personally.
Worringly my eldest sister likes it and she's 26.

[Golden Legacy]

Nothing wrong with that. My fifty year old Technology teacher still remembers the Power Rangers, although his is probably a very special (and weird) case.

[pHantOm]

I used to love all the shows on USA in early morning hours.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Mario and Luigi
Mortal Kombat
Streetfighter


Those shows owned, too bad they were all cancelled randomly one day. Made me sad.

[Golden Legacy]

If I remember correctly, there was also a show based on "Donkey Kong" too.

I used to watch the very very bad Sonic cartoon that was on in Britain. (I know there were a few but only one was shown here). It was another 'great when you're 4 years old, awful later on.' I've seen the Mario and Luigi cartoon as well. It's weird.
@GL: I was never allowed to watch the Power Rangers when I was little. It was classed as too violent by my parents. :P

[Aquamarine]

Yes, there is a Dinkey Kong cartoon too. It's awful, all they do is sing. Imagine Cranky Kong and King K.Rool dancing around happily like a pair of idiots.
There was also a very short Zelda cartoon. There were only about 10 episodes. I've never seen it, but I heard it wasn't all that good.
There is even an F-Zero cartoon which sounds really crap. Once again, I've never seen it, but if it's like Pokemon then maybe I shouldn't see it at all...

I've heard of it but never watched it. It's supposed to be bad though.
Rarely do any games related shows or movies take off.

[Toasty]

Pretty much the only case where it did is Pokemon. There was also a .hack series, a Kirby series, and a few others I can't remember.

[Aquamarine]

Kirby: Right Back At Ya! is actually quite popular. Even though it's crap. How come every Nintendo related cartoon is crap?

[Golden Legacy]

I'm certain there is also a tv show about Sonic.

[Mars Djinni]

Power Rangers was my all-time favourite show when I was young. =) I'm not sure if I watched anythign else besides anime, though.

[Toasty]

There's also a megaman show. I think it's still running too. I watched it a few times.
When I was younger, I mainly watched Dexters Lab, Looney Tunes, and Ed, Edd, & Eddy. I watched Pokemon ocasionally. I always thought Power Rangers were stupid though, but then again, I watched Pokemon, so I shouldn't be talking. =P

[Aquamarine]

Yeah, I watched Pokemon six years ago. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me, but still, something good came out of it. I wouldn't have played the games had it not been for the cartoon, and that wouldn't be good seeing as I love the games. But I see now how CRAP the cartoon is. These days I can only watch a few minutes of it and then I have to change the channel.

[pHantOm]

As much as I hate pokemon now, I loved it in 5th-6th grade, had the cards and watched the show. It was stupid now that I look back, but trading with like all the kids from school, and all the card playing at lunch in the cafeteria, I look back those were fun times.

[TheEnglishman]

I was the only one in my Year who didn't collect pokemon cards, as I saw them as a waste of money.

Take your pick. They range from unspeakably awful to ok.

[Caael]

Sonic X used to be on. It was alright, but not. The others I have seen, they are crap.

[TheEnglishman]

I watched it but I didn't like it. The voices are all so horribly done. What makes it worse is that they're in the games now.
The only good voice is Doctor Eggmans. The rest seem to be little kids on helium. ;)

[Caael]

Helium voices are the worst. Sonic X is good for under 10 year olds. Anybody older, and they should be hunted down and shot.
