Cartoon watchers with jobs
Didn't see a general cartoon thread so thought I start one. There are two new cartoons out that I thought were pretty good. Transformers Prime and GI Joe Renegade both airing on the hasbro channel. Transformers Prime seems to be a mixed of the last few transformers shows. You got bumblebee from the movie, Sorie from the transformers animated, old prime guy comes back to do some more prime, RC from
G1. All in all a pretty good show.
GI Joe renegade isn't as good but I liked it. In this version cobra is pretending to be the good guys and the joes are seen as the bad buys. Crazy just thinking about it.
On a different note hulu has many old school toons like he man and she ra running on it.

Not sure if this should get merged with the Anime thread otherwise it will start flying down the pages
On Saturday morning my wife wakes up early for work which of course wakes me up early. I usually can catch the CN morning line up of Sym-Bionic Titan, Generator Rex and Clone Wars. good stuff

Beast Wars was one of my favorite Transformers series.
Cartoons are a staple in my entertainment diet. I hope, someday, they release Histeria on DVD or something.
As it is, I watch all kinds of cartoons. I have all of the Looney Tunes collections available (the big collections, not those dinky, half-assed ones), Pinky & The Brain, all of the available Animaniacs seasons (come on, season 4!), a few Pixar films, and my most recent favorite, Avatar: The Last Airbender. What a series.

Amen brotha-man.
As for my collection, I have two of the three volumes of the Super Mario cartoon show (missing volume 1), the first two volumes of Animaniacs, a couple Garfield dvds (one of which has the Thanksgiving episode and the infinitely rewatchable Christmas special)., some Gumby, the first season of American Dad, the entire series of Invader Zim (I mean, duh), all four of the original Futurama DVD sets and the first movie, The Last Unicorn, all three of the Rankin-Bass LotR DVDs, the South Park movie and the first season. And that's not including any of my anime dvds. I really want to get the rest of the Animaniacs as well as any sets of Freakazoid that are out. Kinda hard to though since I can't find a job. =/

I'm thinking about buying Thundarr the barbarian series. I really liked the mixed of old and new in that cartoon. It was the one were the main character always said "Lords of light" whenever something strange was happening.

Why are Batman, Superman, and Justice League not on Instant Watch? If they were, I'd be the happiest camper in all of the Happy Land Sunshine South Fork Campground. Robotech is. f*cken Voltron (the lion, the only) is. Come on!
And ever since I was, like, 9 or something, I've wanted to see more than 1 episode of Pirate of Darkwater.

"Demon dogs!" Sun sword, etc. A post-apocalyptic techno-magical setting was a pretty bold idea for a cartoon, even from Hanna Barbera. I always liked that one. Was also really into Battle of the Planets (G-Force) and Star Blazers when I was a kid. Recently, I've really enjoyed Iron Man: Armored Adventures (CGI), and just recorded a bunch of Avengers episodes to check that out.
I fully support all of these ideas. I would happily murder a room full of orphans to get all of the DC animated stuff on there, and I loved Pirates of Darkwater.

Thirded on the Pirates of Darkwater. I also was a huge fan of ReBoot but I never really checked out the.. uh.. reboot to Reboot.

Sadly they never finished the Pirates of Dark Water series. =/ I think it ended on a cliffhanger or some such nonsense.

+1.
The X-Men that they were producing in the early-to-mid '90s was pretty good, too.
Really I'd just be happy if Disney could finish what they started. They've released everything except for the very last DVD set from the following: Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin, Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, and CareBears. Really? The completionist whore in me is dyyyyyyying!

I'm watching the Boondocks right now, it's pretty amazing. I'm still on the first season, but I absolutely love it.

But surely they made more than one episode! It was on at some asinine time with a bunch of other weird, discount action block shows at 11 on Sunday or something, and I was always at church. Stupid God--a notorious c*ck-blocker, and stealer of my cartoon time. Whenever I caught it, it was the same one--I vividly recall a girl explaining how her island got swallowed, accompanied by an image of an island with a big tree in the center being consumed.
Oh, and this one, too, would be great:

The only cartoons I seem to watch anymore are South Park and Futurama.
I miss the days of Looney Tunes, Flinstones, Jetsons, Sonic: the Hedgehog, Dexter's Laboratory, Invader Zim, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, and my all time favorite: Scooby Doo! Just couldn't seem to get into anything on the cartoon network after Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Avatar: the Last Airbender is high on list to see yet though.
Also is it just me, or does Nickelodeon always seem to produce superior cartoons?

I will watch the good ones. Odds are if I find an episode of Avatar, I will watch it. I am a big Venture Bros fan. I have been an on/off South Park watcher since it premiered(that was what 15 years ago?).
I have been intrigued by the new network The Hub which recently premiered. I have mostly been watching re-runs of Batman Beyond, but I hear that the GI Joe cartoon on there is damn good-reflexive of the fan favorite comic series.
On Jeff Green's suggestion, I tried Finneas and Ferb, not for me. I bet that I would get more out of it if I had a kid to watch it with.
Something I am finding fascinating is that prime time cartoons are for college aged and middle aged adults. Family Guy, South Park, Adult Swim cater to me. It was not long ago that shows like Duckman or Anime were buried deep on late night cable.

I loved Dexter and Powerpuff girls. Sponge Bob and Fairly Odd Parents are still fun every so often.

Best cartoon ever imho. Why oh why did it have to go away?

Man, I missed this earlier, which is a shame, because it is the truth. Reilly's my dawg (beeped, but maybe NSFW?). I like The Venture Bros. more, just because I'm a pasty white nerd, but I think The Boondocks is more significant.

The Christmas episode is the greatest Christmas episode of any show ever.

I picked up Ducktales season 1 the other day, thinking the kids would like it. They didnt, but I watched the whole thing, it's funny stuff.
edit: In Ducktales' defense, my kids didn't know who Donald Duck or Scrooge or anybody from the series was. We don't do much Disney around here.

Me and Kepheus are all about Kim Possible - such a great cartoon! I wish they would put it out on DVD so I could buy it.
Edited to add Jimmy Neutron - I want a robot dog too!

As a former hard-core comic nerd, I've been enjoying the new AVENGERS cartoon on Disney XD-- it's still not the perfect show, but it's the closest we've gotten to a full-on Avengers show with the actual CORE characters involved (Hawkeye and Captain America FTW).
I sort of have a hate/like/hate relationship with THE BOONDOCKS. I remember reading that Dave Chappelle shut his show down because too many of his audience weren't seeing the satire-- they were just tuning in to laugh at the "silly negroes." TB has a very similar vibe, to me. I laugh, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I also have incredibly little respect for @ar0n McGrud3r (I've learned my lesson!) as an artist after he admitted he had someone else ghost-draw his strip while he went looking for Hollywood money. Those are just my hang-ups, though. YMMV.

Maybe its the old codger growing in me, but i find nothing appealing with any of the new cartoons these past few years. Very few anime.

I own seasons of Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, and the mid-90s Batman cartoons. I need to find a DuckTales DVD set.

Compared to the newspaper comics, that show is absolute trash. I enjoyed a couple episodes, like the itis episode, but I gave up after the first season as it really never caught the great flavor the comic had.
Also, the wife and I just watched an episode of the greatest animated action show of all time. And no, it's not that lack of action because 30 minutes of their universe time takes 20 episodes anime, Dragonball Z. It was none other than Gendy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack. I've got the entire collection and to this day I long for that show to find the closure I know it never will. I just wanna see Jack go home.
Teen Titans was great fun, too. I still need the 5th season and I've never seen the movie they put out for it.
Oh, and lots of love for almost anything mid 90's and earlier.
