I know, its hard to choose JUST one.

I have to go with the Super Friends, but Banana Splits is a close second, if only because I can never get that damned theme song out of my head.

Edit: And now, thanks to this thread, I have it stuck in my head. I hates it, precious.

Sealab 2021.

The Herculoids.

Everything made in the '90s was ass.

I can't chose between Dexter's Lab and Wacky Races :(

No, I just won't.

It is hard to chose. Speed Buggy wasn't on that list for some reason-

Yeah, and what about those 3 heroes who flew around in a spaceship and one could grow to a huge size, another one turned to gas or at least flew around with a genie tale, and the girl had telekinetic powers or something.

I could never choose just one. :(

I'm watching Johnny Quest (http://www.alluc.org/alluc/cartoons.html?action=getviewcategory&category_uid=380) right now :D

Huckleberry Hound ftw!

... and Tom & Jerry, ...

Tom & Jerry are a Warner Bros., cartoon like Buggs Bunny, not a Hanna Barbera cartoon.

But for HB cartoons I'll have the say the Flintstones and the Jetsons deserve their popularity, they definitely have longevity.

Are you sure about tom and jerry?

Oh wait..I was think of Tom and Jerry kids, which thats a HB cartoon...my bad. But I still like Tom and Jerry nonetheless :D

I will have to say top cat because I wanted to be just like him when I was little (and still do :p)....Hong Kong Phooey is a close second

oh and I’m fairly sure that list is oh so wrong H-B cartoons had to have a certain feel to them of borderline fun borderline crap

Tom & Jerry are MGM cartoons. They were in fact created by Hanna/Barbara

Tom and Jerry are an Academy Award-winning animated cat (Tom) and mouse (Jerry) team who formed the basis of a successful series of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) theatrical short subjects created, written and directed by animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (later of Hanna-Barbera fame).

I was right! :D

Wacky Races. :D

:eek: :eek: :eek:

What is wrong with people?!

I was going to put up some pictures of my favorite shows, but found... other stuff. People have put up... inappropriate illustrations of some of these characters. Specifically, that show Swat Kats and (:eek: ) Beauty and the Beast (popped up in a search for Johnny Bravo). I mean, seriously... eww.

Damn furries... ruining my childhood... *grumble*

Red means i thought it to be so so as a show.
BlueMay have seen it.

If Sealab was as funny as the current one i'd love it.
Anything Scooby Doo(Except the Scooby Doo kids show) was bloody awesome
Snorks too(The Snorky=WTF???)
Smurfs one of my favourites.
Hong Kong Phooey was ok, who knows what happened to the phone operator lady?(I'll give them a cookie for saying it):p
Ed Grimley was a laugh and a half.
Secret Squirrel and Morroco Mole rocked!
Johnny Quest was awesome though someties the cartoon work was shit.
Yogi was better than half funny.One time i was making a model Kubelwagen and lost the windscreen whilst watching it.(Damn see through plastic.:( )
Wacky Races and the Laff Olympics were so so because Mutley and Dick Darstadly kept getting robbed of their deserved wins.
Space Ghost does some awesome interviews these days. :)

I HATED TOM AND JERRY, AND ESPECIALLY THEIR KIDS!
