I grew up with a ton of Cartoon Network as well but two of my favorite shows of my childhood were TMNT 2003 and Xiaolin Showdown so you can imagine my excitement when I saw there profiles here

The only chance I had to channels like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon is when me and my family were staying in a cousin's house during a trip, and he had cabo. At the time, Cartoon Network had those commercials that had this CGI city with characters talking to each other.

 

[Js250476]

A shame I never really grew up with Samurai Jack I only saw a few episodes as a kid the first time I watched the whole show was after seeing Mr Enters best episodes list I'm just so glad it managed to come back and have a proper ending

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Man, I remember I saw the commercials for Samurai Jack before the first episode came out. If I'm not mistaken (it's been a long time, and my memory sucks), I think I tried to watch the first episode, but I feel asleep while watching it.

 

[Js250476]

Especially odd considering how action packed the pilot is

At the time, Cartoon Network had those commercials that had this CGI city with characters talking to each other.

Ah man I loved those ads! I remember the one where it was Wildmutt chasing the Mystery Machine with some unfitting pop music played in the background very vividly.

I miss when CN would regularly play those Ed Edd n Eddy music videos, although "Shrinking Day" always scared me.

@Dark stuff like that makes me wish how Cartoon Network used to do things especially since they were getting a lot better 2010 and onwards

Danny Phantom was one of my childhood heroes as a kid lol

The first time I watched Dragon Ball was actually Fusion Reborn. I didn't know what was going on, but watching these two insanely muscular men get their assess handed to them by a big far baby was hilarious to me. So I got into the series and that movie has fond memories for me.

I also loved this cheesy Disney show called "Zeke and Luther".

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

I remember I liked Danny Phantom, but it played too early in the morning (and only on weekends), so, when I woke up, it was already half way through the episode.

 

[Js250476]

Yeah nick always aired it way to early

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

It wasn't even Nick, it was a random channel, I didn't have cabo.

 

[Js250476]

Partly it's kinda out of nostalgia I got into MLP because I remember Lauren's work on PPG and fosters and was interested in her latest work at the time

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Tbh, I got into MLP because I wanted to read a random crossover fanfic that I had found, and I ended up liking the show more than I was expecting.

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

I got into MLP after stumbling across an old AMV from like 2011 and thought it looked surprisingly cool. Like, it was colorful ponies, but they were going on adventures and fighting bad guys.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

And from MLP, I got into Gravity Falls, and then Steven Universe, then Over the Garden Wall, then Star Vs the Forces of Evil, and now I'm here.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

I got into MLP via the sonic the hedgehog fandom.


It's also how I found out about gravity falls, rick & morty, and others.

 

[The_Everlasting]

I got into MLP because I kept seeing it everywhere (Seriously, I first found it from Green Lantern crossover fan art on DeviantArt...) and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Then I was enamored in the first five minutes.

 

[Js250476]

Joshscorcher's reviews helped out as well got me really more interested in the series

Most of the stuff I watched was DVDs of 80s and 90s cartoons. G.I. Joe, Transformers, TMNT, X-Men, et cetera all worked as well as they did thorugh likeable characters, even though it was all just action most of the time. My favorite cartoon, Batman: The Animated Series, holds up really well, since it focused more on stylization and plot rather than the silly action-oriented approach of most other 80s-90s cartoons, or shows in general, really.

As far as 2000s cartoons go, Courage, Teen Titans, and Samurai Jack all stand out for good stylization, as well. I never watched much TV, but I guess I lucked out on the good shows.

Oh, and Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry! Those old cartoons still hold up largely due to their clever sight gags and punctuated animation style.
