What was your favorite animated show growing up? And what was one that was your MOST HATED?

[Lensing]

Tom & Jerry was great. I loved the humour, the music, the characters and
the drawings.

I didn´t like the Warner Bros cartoons much, I liked some of the characters
but 1) I dislike Bugs Bunny and 2) the cartoons were always a bit lame

At some point of your life american cartoons are simply not enough, just got in love with my first anime that aired on tv in the 90's: The Misterious Cities of Gold, ever since, I didnt watch american cartoons

[RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE]

I loved anything Scooby-Doo or Pokémon related. Also enjoyed Teen Titans, Justice League, Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, and Avatar: the last airbender! I still go back to watch these from time to time.

I know most 80's cartoons were basically toy commercials, but GI Joe took it to the extreme.

Thank you Ronald Reagan

This one might be a bit of a deep cut, but I was obsessed with the Wacky Races as a wee tot.

I wanted Professor Pat Pending's Convert-a-Car so badly... Other favorites were the Buzzwagon and the Army Surplus Special.

As for cartoons I hated... Ed, Edd, & Eddy. Their voices grated on me like a bare a** on gravel. I did like Plank though, mostly because he didn't talk.

The Chuck Jones directed Warner Brothers cartoons were the best. The animations were simpler (cheaper if you will) but the cartoons were much funnier. The facial expressions alone did it for me. Chuck Jones also directed the Grinch cartoon, and some of the funniest facial expressions in cartoon history appear in that. The Chuck Jones years also brought us the best of Gossamer the red haired monster (also known in some cartoons as "Rudolph"), the abominable snow man, Duck Dodgers in the 24-1/2 century, Marvin the Martian, and more.

This one might be a bit of a deep cut, but I was obsessed with the Wacky Races as a wee tot.

I loved the Hanna Barbara cartoons, and as a young car nut you can bet that I was there for the Wacky Races! Captain Cave man was my perpetual favourite racer in the show. And while on the subject of crazy cartoon cars, how could I forget Tom Slick and his Thunderbolt Grease Slapper? Tom Slick was one of those cheap, poorly animated shows (along with George of the Jungle and Super Chicken) that was corny and terrible but I loved it just the same

[briyosan]

i LOVED this show a LOT!

i HATE this mothef-

[Crusoe]

Awh man, I miss watching cartoons!

I grew up on spongebob, adventure time, world of gumball, phineas and ferb, etc. My faves were Scooby Doo (mystery inc especially), Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Teen Titans and for a while also RWBY and Camp Camp (good old Rooster Teeth...).

I never got the hype of Recess though, nor did I care much about Regular Show or Fairly Odd Parents. They're great shows, just didn't appeal to me.

[KennethLopezJr921]

Favorites would have to be SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents, Gumball, Beyblade, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, G Gundam, Yu Yu Hakusho and some others Im probably forgetting

Most hated is a tricky one because I feel like most of the shows I "hated" back then were based off what youtubers said about them, which is why Im refraining from bringing up Teen Titans Go at all here. But there are two shows I didnt like growing up, one of them being Ninjago because I felt a show about ninjas was too westernized from the few glimpses of it I saw whenever my little brother would watch it. Another one is Dragon Ball Super (and this one is recent since it came out during my teen years), and I think this was the first time I had truly hated something and not because a youtuber told me it was bad. It wasn't an instant thing but it would grow as I watched through the show and got more annoyed at every terrible story decision, blatant attempt at nostalgia pandering, and dont even get me started on how flanderized Goku's character to the point of parody. Yes he's a dumbass! Yes he likes fighting and can be selfish because of it! But those werent the only traits Goku had as a characters and the writers for Super didnt seem to grasp that.

Just remembering this but I also didnt like the Garfield Show from CN after they started going super meta about the fact that it was a show. That would be fine if the show had started out 4th wall breaky but it didnt so that shift felt very jarring to me and turned me off it completely. It broke the illusion for me personally and from what I remember, the 4th wall jokes werent done in a cleaver way that would actually make it funny

[ThunderChicken]

The original 1980’s Garfield & Friends cartoon was very meta in the sense that Garfield broke the fourth wall frequently by directly addressing the audience. He has always done so in the printed comic strip as well. I haven’t watched any of the newer CGI-style Garfield cartoons though, mainly because anybody other than Lorenzo Music voicing Garfield is sacrilege

[KennethLopezJr921]

Oh really Most of my experience with Garfield was the cgi cartoon network show (and the live action movies) but that puts things into perspective lol

[simplykit]

faves...

yucky...

[Shanny8]

I'd say yeah I loved stuff like Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, and old Popeye, but I'd really say I LOVED 80s Transformers- I had to watch it every day coming home from school...

I cant really remember but if there was a cartoon I really hated, I'd probably say Scooby Doo. I dont hate it so much now, but back then I really hated that it filled up the 4:30- 5:00 slot on two channels at the same time(until Silverhawks took over in my teen years on one of the channels).
