There was also one called Spiral Zone that I loved.

Premise was a mad scientist dropped generators all over the world that turned people inside the zone they created into Zombies(not undead, more like mind controlled slaves but with lesions and messed up eyes and stuff). Most of the world was lost to it and the few remaining humans had to wear these special power armor suits to go into the zone for missions.

It was fairly dark/bleak for a kids show and I loved every minute of it.

The best till they added those void elf twins and their monkey

Damn straight The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, as it was called when I was watching.

Jason of Star Command, and Isis, although they weren’t animated.

The original Scooby Doo, Where Are You?, before all the guest stars, and the original Space Ghost.

Honorable mention to Tarzan, the Blue Falcon & Dynomutt, and Herculoids.

Dunno I have to disagree on that one given we were given Shifter and Downpour in Justice League Unlimited,even if just for an episode to introduce Cadmus. [though they looked more like pale drow in Bruce Timm’s art style]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The original seriea from like. . 30 years ago.

My childhood didn’t have a ton of ‘Saturday’ morning cartoons, so I’m going to alter the definition of “growing up” and say that while I was still a young man my favorite cartoon was Futurama. I still hold it the utmost regard, one of my all-time favorite shows in general.

This. They still make me laugh today.

Being older than dirt, I also loved the original Jonny Quest. Race Bannon, Jonny’s bodyguard, would kill the bad guys and not be shy about it. Venture Brothers fans should recognize the layout.

The best newer one I remember, not so much as “growing up” but around the time I was 19/20 or so:

Fans of edgy animation and cartoon vice rejoiced this week, as the infamous 1987-1988 Saturday morning series “Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures” finally hit DVD.

It was an EXCELLENT cartoon, redone and was pretty cool and fun.

It was, oddly enough, cancelled due to Mighty Mouse smelling a flower and getting an “apparent boost” from it. Weird, in fact seemingly crazy, Parent groups suggested that he was sniffing a poppy derivative.

I don’t know how they got that, since I was certainly not Naive at 19 or 20, yet I never drew such a connection. But, sadly, it was cancelled.

My current one, at the ripe age of 52, would be:

The Venture Bros.

Sadly, i just get OLDER AND OLDER since it takes them SO LONG between seasons.

Considering this is a gaming forum, I’m surprised there’s not a whole lot more japanese cartoon/anime mentioned.

Lets not forget Underdog. A super hero who became more ‘super’ after popping a pill he kept in his ring.

Space Battleship Yamato (AKA Starblazers in the US)
