favorite cancelled cartoon? why - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

fugue_life · 10-04-2003, 07:18 PM

Im talking about the Saturday morning variety, yes I all know we miss Futurama and Family Guy

Gargoyles- lots of hidden Shakespeare references
X-men- The ones before Evolution series
Batman Beyond- Don't really have a reason

Mr. Spacemonkey · 10-04-2003, 07:20 PM

Oh come on, what about family guy? That show was awesome.

sadistikdreams · 10-04-2003, 08:20 PM

He meant saturday morning. DOY!

I liked Digimon... *hides in corner*

spectre · 10-04-2003, 08:23 PM

Family Guy and The Tick!

Well thanks a lot for editing that in there AFTER my post. But anyway, i guess the older x-men series was pretty cool. I can't really think of too many others that i watched that often.

Cynthetiq · 10-04-2003, 09:16 PM

Animaniacs.... and Pinky and the Brain

gwr_gwir · 10-04-2003, 11:12 PM

Animaniacs (amazing how many sexual references got in there), and Pinky and the Brain (close to, what, 40 political jokes per 15 min?). also, the mid 90s X-men animated series, as opposed to the previous X-men series (late 70s early 80s, I'd guess) and the "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" series before that.

K-Wise · 10-04-2003, 11:50 PM

Prolly Family Dog

Asta!!

phredgreen · 10-05-2003, 02:43 AM

i'll back up those who mentioned animaniacs, the tick, and the fmaily guy. all of them were clever, well written, and appealed to wide audiences who got different things from it.

another winner in my book was freakazoid. it was a little silly, but the same tounge-in-cheek jokes that fueled animaniacs kept this show interesting.

JohnnyRock · 10-05-2003, 03:46 AM

Gotta go with the Tick, Animaniacs [perhaps the best ever!] and Pinky and the Brain. Also Spider-Man of the early 90s--don't like this new MTV one.

Loup · 10-05-2003, 06:01 AM

Why? Because it is one Saturday morning cartoon that actually made me laugh whenever I got the chance to watch it.
And Transformers, but the first generation ... way back when. That was some good watchin'.

rogue49 · 10-05-2003, 06:21 AM

The Tick

it was the only one smart enough to keep me interested.
at least as an adult.

Battle of the Planets.
but this is an old one, I only watched it as a kid.

im2smrt4u · 10-05-2003, 07:13 AM

Family Guy!

I loved Pinky and the Brain too. When are they going to release them on DVD?

fugue_life · 10-05-2003, 10:16 AM

sorry about editing the post space Monkey, u must have posted while I was editing. I apologize.

Kyp · 10-05-2003, 10:24 AM

I'll throw in another one for Animaniacs. The best cartoon ever.

Cardinal Syn · 10-05-2003, 03:25 PM

Best cartoon ever canceled was THE TICK! Man i wish they would put out the DvD's. MY favorite villian is The Midnight Bomber what bombs at Midnight! YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!

Monre · 10-05-2003, 03:54 PM

I hate to say digimon too...

Mr.Deflok · 10-05-2003, 03:57 PM

The original Transformers... Armada sucks.

Digimon is quite clever seeing as how they're using a lot of current cyber/internet related issues. Better than Pokeshit.

David2000 · 10-05-2003, 04:04 PM

x men and go bots!

PulpMind · 10-05-2003, 04:34 PM

The Tick! because it wasn't really for kids...
Animaniacs - cuz it was for kids and adults
Pinky and the Brain - cuz it was for the kid in adults

rockos modern life!!

Neato · 10-05-2003, 07:22 PM

Animaniacs, Freakazoid, the Tick, Rockos Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy. Wasn't Pinky & the Brain a part of Animaniacs? Gargoyals, Two Stupid Dogs. And lastly and most importantly Invader ZIM. Which rocked the house. What a great show.

Darklight Adept · 10-05-2003, 08:44 PM

Two Stupid Dogs and EEK! The Cat =D

scavengertype · 10-06-2003, 01:03 PM

I second Freakazoid, and give props to the The Tick. Where's the DVD?

Radio Monk33 · 10-06-2003, 07:52 PM

Xmen is definitely up there..

Has anyone seen UnderGrads or Clone High? Great shows, but no more new episodes.

hawkeye · 10-07-2003, 09:06 PM

Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and ZIM!
put the piggie down, GIR....

Kadath · 10-07-2003, 09:28 PM

Hmm. How about the old D&D cartoon?

K-Wise · 10-07-2003, 10:26 PM

Damn none of you guys know Family Dog?

Hey what was that cartoon about that sheriff who had a blue horse and when need be the horse would stand up on it's two legs grow huge muscles and don a big bazooka gun and help him fight the bad guys. I remember it had the word "Star" in it I just don't remember the rest haha. I dunno why but I liked that one.

Asta!!

RedCometChar · 10-08-2003, 11:23 AM

Ah, that would be BraveStarr. One of the first "space cowboy" type cartoons around.

Dibbler · 10-08-2003, 01:20 PM

It wasn't Saturday morning but it also wasn't prime time..

**** Rocko ****

I thought that was the funniest carton ever made. The writing was just enough to keep the kids laughing and a little adult humor snuck in to keep us "big kids" laughing.

John Falcon · 10-08-2003, 01:32 PM

Not Saturday morning but...

Clerks

(I wish they made the 'Randal buys K.I.T.T. episode')

bigjule · 10-08-2003, 06:00 PM

I really liked Hong Kong Fooie, The Herculoids, and the Superfriends

fugue_life · 10-08-2003, 08:09 PM

HA, I was gonna mention Bravestar but for some reason I didn't beleive anyone one would remember it.

What was that cartoon that the futuristic cops, with the robotic dog with a siren on his back and the one cop with some sort of bionic commando hand cuff thing? Anyone?

RedCometChar · 10-08-2003, 09:56 PM

Actually, that one was just called C.O.P.S.. Used to be one of my favorites, that along with Thundercats and Silverhawks. They rereleased it in the mid-90's on CBS Saturday mornings, under the name Cyber C.O.P.S.- I guess to separate it from Fox's Cops. I remember thinking it was cool that the chief of police (Bulletproof Vess) was a black dude, even though he hardly ever did any real police work.

Kadath · 10-09-2003, 05:55 AM

How about...ExoSquad!

Good ol' Gatchiman. I loved that cartoon, mostly for the guy who was second in command. Everyone else has these freaky ninja weapons. He just carried a big frikkin' gun.

chez_dork · 10-09-2003, 03:35 PM

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the Thundercats yet.

Or Captain Bucky O'Hare. Heh, I still have <i>that</i> theme song stuck firmly in my head.
