Ditto. I only like a few cartoons from the 90's though. I like Doug and Pepper Ann. I loved watching Beavis and Butthead. Those are the only really good cartoons that I like from the 90's. I can't remember too many cartoons that I watched from the 80's.

Well, my first TV obsession was with "Duck Tales" so there's some 80's. Now I'm obsessed with "The Powerpuff Girls" and that's now...

I don't really know.

Nothing beats Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes! They might have been from the '40's, but the comedy still holds up today.

'60s-'70s,also '50s.

sami dg · 08-08-2002, 10:52 PM

Probably anything from the 50's on until the mid eighties. I think cartoons in the 90's with the exception of a few were too reality based. I love Tom and Jerry I grew up with them and of course Scooby Doo. Johnny Quest was a favorite also. I only watch Cartoon Network when these cartoons are on.

Definitely the 60's when Hanna Barbera studios was at its creative peak. They turned out tons of made for TV cartoons in the 60's and all of them way better than anything made today. My favorites include Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound, Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, and the Jetsons.

I agree, I still think Hanna Barbera made the all time best cartoons until the ones they started doing in the mid 90's.

The 90's Nickeldeon and Disney had such great cartoons back then.

The classics of the 30s & 40s were great for their time and place, but i'll take todays Anime from Japan ( not the censored kiddy stuff you see on TV here ) over any animation of anytime

I loved the early Hanna-Barbera shows, from 1957 to 1964 (RUFF & REDDY,
HUCKLEBERRY HOUND, QUICK DRAW McGRAW, THE FLINTSTONES, YOGI BEAR,
TOP CAT, TOUCHE TURTLE, THE JETSONS, JONNY QUEST). I think H & B "jumped the shark" with MAGILLA GORILLA (1964). Although the animation was better, it lacked the calibre of writing and voice acting of the earlier shows. Daws Butler was invaluable on those classic cartoons. Bill Hanna once said that without Daws there might have never even been a Hanna-Barbera!

For me, it's 80's to mid 90's cartoons....the recent stuff they have out today has gone down the crapper.

My favorite era for cartoons is the 1930's right up to the 1980's.
