Hello making this thread here where you can talk about your favorite cartoons from different Time periods of the past 2 years. Here's how it will work you can make a list like this based on the different eras of cartoons for 1995-2000 and 2001-2005 they will have a seperate section for Nickelodean, Cartoon Network and just in case Misc. networks. This is based on the year the cartoon first aired so even though Spongebob is still ongoing it counts as 1999.
First section is 1990-1994. Although most of you might of been too young to catch the cartoons of this era there are still some cherished cartoons from this era. Including shows like Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, etc. That're considered some of the best cartoons that still hold up today. Others include some of the series made by DiC (Though Your milage may vary on which ones were good or bad) like Sonic SatAM. This also includes nick shows like Ren and Stimpy and Rugrats. (I'll count the Simpsons too although technially it started in 1989)
The next one (1995-2000) is a little bigger because this is when both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network hit their strides in terms of animation. So for this one and 2000-2004 there will be favorite of both networks plus a misc one (Though if you more loyal to one channel at the time you can leave the others out). 1995-2000 applies to a majority of the Cartoon Cartoons like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Johnny Bravo and more. And for Nick shows like Spongebob, Hey Arnold, The Angry Beavers, and more. Shows like Family Guy and South Park also count here.
Similarly we'll do the same for 2000-2004. Cartoon Network had Samurai Jack, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Kids Next Door and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and more have it's start then. Nick had shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Fairly Oddparents, and Invader Zim, and more at that time
2005-2009 goes back to a single thing because while there were still quite a bit of shows in between then there's nothing that really was really spetacular in the meantime. But could perhaps hold series that you believe were underrated. Though Phineas and Ferb may count as a highlight of this era
2010-Beyond are shows that for the most part are rather new and still ongoing. In other words your favorite currently running show (Really long running shows like Spongebob don't count) that include My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Adventure Time, and more.
To start it off here's mine (You can list multiple ones too):
1990-1994
Animaniacs
I was only a baby at the time this show was running but from what I saw from DVDs it was amazing. It's such a wonderful cartoon that's a great example of Early 90s animation. And it got away with quite a bit of adult-orientated jokes.
1995-2000
Cartoon Network
Courage the Cowardly Dog
I don't think I need to say anything more on this as I've already probably said it
Johnny Bravo
As much as Johnny was someone who was so stupid he thought he could get any hot girl just by flexing his pecs and sweet talking him it was such an enjoyable show. It teaches people not to be such a jock around the other gender too.
(I could say a majority of the rest of the Cartoon Cartoons but I think I'll stop here)
Nicktoons
Spongebob Squarepants
Had to go with this one say what you want on the more recent episodes the early episodes still hold up and make it a good cartoon
Kablam!
This doesn't get nearly as love as other shows of it's time but it had some great shorts and was very entertaining
(Here you can put a Misc. if there was another network with a show in this era)
2001-2004
Cartoon Network
Samurai Jack
What can I say. Was an awesome cartoon full of action. Aku especially was awesome.
Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
It was a really strange show but it was really fun to watch get things like the Grim Reaper turned into hilarious characters
Nicktoons
Avatar: The Last Airbender
By far my favorite of this era, Avatar had everything. Great action, comedy, a thrilling story, and eventually an awesome ending, It was just overall an awesome cartoon and I love it even more then I do Spongebob in terms of Nick shows. I could almost say it's my favorite Nick show of all time.
My Life as a Teenage Robot
I thought this wasn't a bad show either. It had it's weirdness of a Robot trying to be a teenage girl while at the same time saving the world. And while I admit it probably wasn't exactly the best one it's enjoyable sometimes.
2005-2009
El Tigre
I feel this is a very underrated cartoon. It was creator-driven, the characters both heroes and villains are awesome. The stress about choosing Good or Evil I felt was a good theme as well.
2010-Present
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
If I need to explain this one at all, welcome to theinternet forums new user.
Also just because I didn't mention a cartoon doesn't mean I didn't enjoy alot of the others. I still like other cartoons from those eras and it would take a while for me to type up why I like all of those shows. So I figured on picking just a few for each one. Particulary 2 from each network in 1995-2000 and 2001-2004
