GOAT Cartoon Show

[Draz]

What's the GOAT Show?

Tom & Jerry
The Simpsons
Ed Ed & Eddy
South Park
Pokemon
Pinky & The Brain
Looney Toons
Courage The Cowardly Dog
Wayne Bro's
Family Matters
Scooby Doo
Honeymooners
The 3 Stoogies


Game Shows:
The Price Is Right
America's Funniest Home Videos



I love Tom & Jerry. Shit got my vote, ya dun know. :bowdown:

Comedy in general, whether it's adult or children, Game show's, etc.

[Velocirap31]

The Simpsons, it has to be. Revolutionary and longest running show of all time.

[Heavincent]

Looney Tunes.

[Qwyjibo]

I love my superhero shows:

X-Men
Spider-Man (from the mid 90's)
Batman The Animated Series

EXO Squad
- This was one was awesome as well. It blew my mind as a kid because it had a mature war theme and main characters actually died.

[NastyCrossover1]

fairy odd parents and ed edd and eddy

[ConanRulesNBC]

Early Simpsons.

[RidonKs]

you know what? i hate to say it, but i'm finally going to after many years of leaning in the other direction.

South Park is better than The Simpsons. season for season, episode for episode, it's flat out better. of course prime Simpsons rakes every pot it enters, but enough of separating a single series into two distinct eras... it's still the same f*cking show and it didn't have to fall off. but it did and it sucks now and there's no ignoring that fact.

so South Park. for 15 seasons and running, it has consistently offered the best material time after time. the only mark i can think to count against it that could potentially propel The Simpsons back out in front is that it's only 10-12 episodes per season, as compared to 20+. but still...

anyone with me?



edit: simpsons has impact/trendsetting/trailblazing on its side too though... ehhh, i almost -- ALMOST had myself convinced lol

[BurningHammer]

If you don't count foreign cartoon show, including anime, I'll pick The Simpsons also. Its longevity alone, not to mention it is on the axing-happy Fox, proves how great the show is.

[L.Kizzle]

Childrens cartoons or adult cartoons?

[Qwyjibo]

I don't even remember the last time I watched a new Simpsons episode. It's been at least 5 years I think. Over time it seemed to be gradually declining in quality and I just stopped watching. This was a show that I would watch multiple times per day when I was younger.

With South Park, I'll check out every single new episode. They'll miss on some like all shows do but the quality relative to other stuff on TV is still, IMO, very high.

[Velocirap31]

Childrens cartoons or adult cartoons?

This should be specified. Otherwise I'm picking Pinky and The Brain.

[RidonKs]

i have obsessive friends (call them 'losers' if you'd like) who have tracked the entire series to its peak, its initial point of decline, and its bottoming out.

peak: 5-8
decline: 9
shark jumped: 11-12

that's a solid nine years of bullshit, give or (more likely) take a season or two. still a long time of crap production compared to where they were.

[Draz]

Most people here are debating on favorites of their own personal shows onced watched as a kid. Were debating the GOAT cartoon (adult or children), the show that was passed on either from generation to generation, you've watched it as a youngster, now your siblings or kids are. A show that represented a major part in both the culture of TV and changed television as we know it today.

[Meticode]

X-Men (90s)

I used to get pumped when the intro would come on...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZAhqEiq4cA

[Meticode]

Also TMNT...

The Simpsons should have left the same time Family Matters went off the air. It peaked the same time too, season 2 through season 6.

[Draz]

TMNT was good.

What about.............power rangers :lol

[RidonKs]

The Simpsons should have left the same time Family Matters went off the air. It peaked the same time too, season 2 through season 6.
ehh... check the episode lists for seasons 7 and 8, they're waaaaay up there

s7
- who shot mr burns
- lisa the veg
- team homer (bowling)
- 22 short films about springfield
- much apu about nothing


i won't keep listing because you get the point. that last episode has one of my favourite simpsons quotes ever

"immigants! i knew it was them! even when it was the bears, i knew it was them!"

[ConanRulesNBC]

South Park can't touch The Simpsons when they were great in the '90s/early '00s.

[RidonKs]

that is one niggardly hunter... just look at that ratty attire!

:bowdown:

[Draz]

Wayne Bro's
Family Matters

[ConanRulesNBC]

You have to split it up into categories if you're going to do kids cartoons too. Because Looney Toons, Spider-Man, TMNT are totally different from The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park.

My favorite kids cartoon is definitely X-Men. I used to watch that show every Saturday morning in the '90s. I had every action figure. lol.

My favorite teen/adult cartoon is definitely The Simpsons.

Also, used to love watching The Flinstones, Tom & Jerry, The Jetsons and Scooby-Doo.

[L.Kizzle]

Wayne Bro's
Family Matters
What?

The Wayans Bros did have a cartoon though, remember Waynehead??

Waynehead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gKLG6_980o)

[Draz]

What about Game shows? The Price Is Right, America's Funniest Home Videos.

[EnoughSaid]

So basically the 90's was the GOAT era for cartoons?

Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, TMNT, Batman etc.

:bowdown: :bowdown:

:bowdown: :bowdown:
As a kid, I didn't watch any of those besides TMNT.

I hates Spiderman, X-Men, Batman, Transformers, Gargoyles and other shit.

I was into Bobby World, 2 Stupid Dogs, Life With Luie, The Tick, Animaniacs, stuff like that.

[Draz]

Pokemon? What do you guys think about Pokemon? I'm sure we all grew up with it or deal with it (when was a kid, have kids)

Where there was pokemon, there was digimon. Digimon was honestly, my favorite out of the two even though I've spent more time watching pokemon as a kid.

Added Scooby Doo.
Old school cartoons were the shit.

Penelope Pistol, can't fck with her and she was fine too!
Speed Buggy
Harlem Globetrotters
Inch High Private Eye

[B-Low]

Gotta go with Looney Tunes. They're pushing ONE HUNDRED YEARS. That's just unheard of lol

[GatorKid117]

Cartoon Stages:

1 (Toddler): Barney and Friends
2 (Child): Rugrats
3 (Pre-teen): Fairly Oddparents
4 (Teenager - Present): Southpark

Rugrats would have to be my #1 cartoon. I've probably seen each episode 3+ times pre-Kimi.

[Crystallas]

GOAT? Simpsons.
Fav? Peanuts.

[ConanRulesNBC]

So basically the 90's was the GOAT era for cartoons?

Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, TMNT, Batman etc.

:bowdown: :bowdown:

Yes.

[skan72]

For me, the one I watched the most as a kid with friends, and pretended to be characters off of it, is Dragonball Z. Shotgun being Goku.

[Myth]

South Park for me.

[Timmy D for MVP]

http://piggymoo.com/futurama/futurama.jpg

I understand the significance of the Simpsons and it's impact on television itself. And I absolutely love the program. But Futurama is just a better show.

I also have on more animated show ahead of the Simpsons and that is Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[GatorKid117]

Avatar is fantastic. My favorite anime by far.

Korra better come close to that. I have high expectations.

[Timmy D for MVP]

Avatar is fantastic. My favorite anime by far.

Korra better come close to that. I have high expectations.

I also have massive expectations. There is no real reason for it to not be better than the first except extremely poor management.

The only thing I could see being a problem is not enough episodes to build the story. Like the first one succeeded because you saw some of the best character and world growth on tv in the last decade. But the second show is much shorter so... we'll see. I'm excited. :banana:

Yea, 26 episodes pales in comparison to the original TLA. But the original creators are still in control so I have good faith.

I still have a sour taste in my mouth from the movie. Hopefully Korra can make me forget that abomination.

They made a movie? Oh wow I didn't know that and spend 7.50 on it and want to punch M Night Shabamalam in the nuts. :(

There are a couple titles that I wish someone would redo and do properly because I think they could get to Star Wars status with tie in games, comics, etc. And that show is one of them.

Also on the top of my list the Percy Jackson series. That shit has gotten so expansive in book form and still going strong, it's got the potential for some blockbustering epics a la Harry Potter or LOTR and they just missed the point entirely. :mad:

But I digress. Tom and Jerry is my shit too. But I have it 4th because I feel it falls short of what these other shows can do in being very versatile.

[BurningHammer]

For me, if you consider ANY cartoons, this should be the GOAT:

http://bionicbong.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/doraemon.jpg

30 plus years and going strong, and is huge in many countries but North America.

anyone with me?

A number of cartoons are superior to that shit. Maybe it's an age grouping thing. Nobody I know cared for South Park, but the younger crowd seem to like it.

[thebirdman]

King of the Hill needs some love.

yes it does.

even though ~80% episodes can be summed up as-

bobby takes up hobby that hank is appalled at. hank comes round in the end and possibly participates.

it's still brilliant. i think the humour is not as 'in your face' as most cartoons it might be compared to and every episode leaves you feeling warm inside. Great show.

i've been watching it from the start. currently half way through season 8 and it's still really good. the trucker episode was one of the best yet... i tell you what.

[Knicks101]

The Simpsons
Futurama
Batman: The Animated Series
Adventure Time (yeah, it's that good)

[WillyJakk]

What y'all know about:

I wanted Sport Billy's bag and Thundarr's sword so damn bad when I was little.

[CeltsGarlic]

Fairly Oddparents <--- that some funny shit
Penguins of Madagascar <----- you can find some pretty clever jokes there.One of my faves.

"Stop playing stupid"
"Who said I was playing?"

Not the best joke, but its full of great great stuff.

Tom and Jerry <--- all epsiodes watched 20+ times

[JohnnySic]

The Simpsons.

[pauk]

1. DROOPY BY FAR!!! ........the biggest and coolest "trolling not a single **** is given" character ever :oldlol: I remember this episode where some gangsters tried to kill him the entire freakin episode, torture him, blow him up and so on and he just kept coming back and back "hello surrr...you didnt have to do that surrr..." over and over until they became mentally ill and decided to kill themselves.... as they float to the sky and are in heaven.. Droopy pops up there to "hello surrr... you forgot this bomb surrr" bwhahahahah.... GOAT TROLL!

http://www.best-wallpapers.com/cartoons/images/8.jpg


2. Road Runner! (epicness!!)
3. Dick Bastardly & Muttley! (Muttleys laugh is GOAT)
4. Tom & Jerry (always made me chuckle, even today, cant help it lol.. a nostalgia thing i guess)
5. Family Guy (absolutely hilarious)

[bada bing]

Spiderman from the 90's
The Justice League and Justice league unlimited
Batman TAS
Simpsons
Futurama

(not in any order)

[EnoughSaid]

Yeah Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite anime ever, but I was thinking more towards the older, nostalgic cartoons.

Can't wait for that new Avatar series though. 26 new episodes!! :rockon:

[lilojmayo]

The Simpsons.
agreed

[Lebron23]

Batman the Animated Series
X-Men (1992)
Real Ghost busters
The Simpsons. I am only 2 years older than this show.
Spiderman 1990's

[miller-time]

Batman the Animated Series

awesome show. the intro still gets me excited. same with x-men.

i also love most old looney tunes shows, esp roadrunner. and classic simpsons is probably one of the best shows ever made. cartoon or not.

[MMM]

Surprised nobody has mentioned Animaniacs

[IcanzIIravor]

Robotech back in the day introduced me to anime.

The original Transformers cartoon was great.

He-man I was a huge fan of as well.

[Saintsfan1992]

4. Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck etc.)
5. Speedy Gonzales
6. Spiderman
7. Simpsons
8. TMNT
9. Family Guy
10. Popeye / He-Man

[DonDadda59]

Batman: The Animated Series is in syndication on the HUB network. Watching it as an adult... that show is the shit. Very mature and extremely well written for a 'childrens' cartoon show'. The artwork is fantastic and the movie based on the show (Mask of the Phantasm) is one of the best Batman flicks in the entire cannon. Plus the intro alone puts it high in the rankings.

i actually take back my South Park vote and change it DBZ (Dragonball especially)

[Draz]

Bump

[KyrieTheFuture]

As much as I love DBZ, it's definitely not DBZ. Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry are definitely the most famous.

[Draz]

Tom & Jerry is incredibly underrated.

[Nick Young]

Avatar the Last Airbender or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood IMO.

King of the Hill is my honorable mention.

[Nick Young]

I used to LOVE this show, especially when they did ghost stories. Gerald was that dude, like a young Morgan Freeman :lol
apt comparison

I'm hyped for Morgan Freeman's upcoming "The Story of God" documentary on Nat Geo. The documentary he was born to narrate.

[Draz]

Airbender was good. Not GOAT good tho

[Nick Young]

Airbender was good. Not GOAT good tho
Why I'd say it is GOAT >>> something like DBZ is cus how tight it is. 3 solid seasons of genius, with maybe only one episode, the Great Divide, that isn't good. Insane creative fight choreography, combined with great writing, character development, story that defies convention, and funny humor all throughout.

DBZ has so many episodes that are just shit, even Dragon Ball Kai has too much rambling sometimes.

Airbender has a case for GOAT the same way the wire has the case for GOAT show even though it was only 5 seasons.

[Draz]

The short solid seasons makes it a contender. Airbender is the Steph Curry of anime IF he retired in 2016/Career ending injury

So Legend of Korra is who?

[Graviton]

"Rick and Morty" is new but gotta say it's GOAT level shit, every single episode is hilarious and must watch. It's unlike any other show on TV.

[Draz]

So Legend of Korra is who?
What

And rick and morty is a stoner show. 10/10

[Nick Young]

So Legend of Korra is who?
Seth Curry-

But Legend of Korra was good. not great. But the fighting choreography is even better, more epic and more insane than the original. The story and characters aren't as good, but the fight scenes and animation take shit next level.

People say Korra is shit. It's actually pretty good. Just not last airbender good.

id start with the old ones. theyre some of the greatest. sure, theyll feel a bit dated, but the humor is still pretty relevant. it's not imperative you start from there though. seeing as every season has some pretty damn funny episodes.

tried Bojack, didn’t take. I’ll try it again at some point.

Bojack is a weird and frustrating case in that seasons 2-6 are so far superior to the first season....but you have to watch the first to get it. It’s not like the office or parks and rec or whatever where you can just skip to season 2 and be fine. There is crucial character setting there.

But I agree that it’s not always great initially. Episode 8 I think is where it really started to turn my eye.

But Bojack in its later seasons is some of the most emotionally intelligent and rewarding television I’ve ever seen. Albeit perhaps too heavy for some.
