Y’all must be young.
- Bugs Bunny
- Sinbad Jr.
- The old Johnny Quests
- Fliescher Superman
I like Superman cartoons too.
My picks are looking pretty dated right now.
- Invader Zim
- Ren & Stimpy
- Rocko’s Modern Life
Anyone got any recommendations from the last 20 year?
Edit:
If you count Cartoon Network cartoons outside of the Cartoon Cartoon era i would add- Teen Titans Go
- Craig of the Creek
- The Looney Tunes Show
This last one was a little rough in patches but I really liked the sitcom format for these characters.
Summer Camp Island. Came out in 2018 for a single season before more seasons came into being. A bunch of anthro animal kids (main cast around 11-ish if I remember correctly) go to a summer camp on an island that turns out to be run by 3 witches.
In the later seasons, they start adding in more lore for the island, the inhabitants, and even a bit for the campers. Definitely a 180 from the likes of the shows you picked, but it’s a recommendation.
If I was to name one of each, it would be Hey Arnold! from Nickelodeon and probably Courage the Cowardly Dog from Cartoon Network!
Beavis and Butthead
Oh oh! Very relevant!
What exactly do you mean by cartoon cartoons?
If you just mean animated cartoons in general by that, I’m going with Angry Beavers, Franklin (was on Noggin where I live, the venture between the owners of Nickelodeon (MTV Networks) and Sesame Workshop, so I count it as Nickelodeon preschool edition), Summer Camp Island, Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron, and Dofus: Aux Trésors de Kerubim. As my current top 5 (in no particular order).
As a non-american I had to look up the branding terms:
Either CN or Nick is what I meant.
Cartoon Network had Cartoon Cartoons before.
