You know, I'm sure some old ass mofo is gonna come in here and say that another decade was a better era in cartoons, but forget that. The 80s/90s were the best. Batman the Animated Series, Gargoyles, The Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... there are just too many to name. And they're all great.

What do kids got today? If you ask me they got nothing really.

They've really got nothing today. It's a shame...

 

[Dr. Evil]

They don't make em like they used to anymore. The 80's and 90's were also an age of brilliantly funny sitcoms.

Yeah. Back then, shows with laughtracks actually had a chance of being funny. These days, the best comedies are completely laughtrack free.

I loved the kids WB block on weekday afternoons.

What gets me is how ppl are now crapping all over Spiderman:TAS now that Spectacular Spiderman is out, saying that the animation in Spectacular is better. Well duh, of course it is. SM:TAS is 15 years old. Spectacular is made with current animation technology which is much more advance than the 90's stuff.....

 

[Mogwai]

disney's shows, super mario bros. super show, and sonic the hedgehog were my favs.

I loved Spider-Man: TAS. I used to watch it all the time. I've seen Spectacular Spider-Man and thinks it okay but I don't get much enjoyment from cartoons anymore. I will, however, watch an episode of SM:TAS and enjoy it for nostalgia sake.

 

[Sawyer]

I love the 90s Spidey series and SSM both. However, I do think SSM is better. Not only in animation, but in voice acting too.

 

[Thundarr]

I miss the days when NBC, ABC, CBS, etc all had their own line up of Sathurday morning cartoons. I remember every fall, right before the new season began, one network (I think it was NBC) had a preview of that season's new shows. The preview was always entertainingly done. I remember one year it was hosted by Weird Al Yankovic. That was the year they introduced the shows Mighty Orbots and The Snorks. I miss those shows.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Rambo TAS? I gotta see this. Good thing I was born in the 90s to still catch some of these great cartoons.

 

[Kane52630]

i love the 80's and 90's era of cartoons, you know why? because you get some new show during the 90's and get reruns of the classics like Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry where as today you dont get to see the classics

I'm an old-ass mofo, but I agree that the 80s and 90s were the best.

The cartoons I liked as a little kid during the 70s are pretty much unwatchable now due to the poor animation and simplistic storylines.

There are a few exceptions however:

Johnny Quest
Star Blazers (AKA: Space Battleship Yamato)
Battle of the Planets (AKA: G-Force/ Gatchaman)
Force Five (various giant robot series)

Note that those last 3 were all Japanese anime.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

What do kids got today? If you ask me they got nothing really.

They've got something. No matter how simplistic most animation is these days, in 10 to 20 years, the next generation will talk about how THIS generation was the Golden Age. It happens.

What gets me is how ppl are now crapping all over Spiderman:TAS now that Spectacular Spiderman is out, saying that the animation in Spectacular is better. Well duh, of course it is. SM:TAS is 15 years old. Spectacular is made with current animation technology which is much more advance than the 90's stuff.....

Trust me, outdated technology in the 90's series' LEAST of its problems.

Also, B:TAS and Gargoyles were made in the same decade, and had animation that holds up to even today's standards.
