What were your favorite TV shows and/or cartoons when you were a kid?

I particularly enjoyed Courage the Cowardly Dog and Dexter's Lab.

Mr. Rodgers (Again, who hasn't?)
Pokemon (Yes I did watch this for a while)
(I did as well for a time. But my excuse is that I was like 11 :P )
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

I see that we all share our likes. My memory is terrible back then but here goes:

Rocko's Modern Life (crap how long has it been!?)
Tom and Jerry (I think I have seen it all...)
Sonic The Hedgehog [FF](old favorite, though I barely saw it due to school)
The Flintstones (to be honest I didn't like him THAT much)
The Jetsons (Strangely I felt more at home here)
Looney Toons (Again I think I have seen every episode...)
Courage the Cowardly Dog (You can't imagine how I love this show)
TMNT (Again, time prevented me from seeing much)
Dexter's Lab (old favorite again)
Duck Tales (ugh, big fav once)
Dark Wing Duck (I recorded several episodes, good enough?)
The Mighty Ducks (Saw only a few, but I have the movie)
Beast Wars (I love CGI)
Beast Machines (I really liked this one, I think)
Transformers (The new ones suck IMO)
Goof Troop (my how long its been!)
Gargoyles (Saw only a few again)
Bill Nye (I think I loved this show quite a bit)
Dragonball Z (Too many episodes XD)
Reboot (First CGI Show I ever saw, first CGI show too)
Heavy Gear (Another favorite CGI show, I like big mechs)
Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (I gotta admit, I was really impressed, still am too)
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (After 3rd grade, time prevented me from seeing it ever again)


This isn't even the whole list at all, as I said my memory sucks so the old stuff is probably gone with it. Heck, most of these I copied from you all too XD.
