OK. This place has been utterly boring the past week or so. So,I'd thought I'd bring up something off topic.

I don't know how many of you still watch cartoons,I know I really don't anymore. But only if there's something cool on that I like.

So,my question is,what are your favorite toons? Here are recent favorites of mine,when I have the time to watch them or if I feel like it. Oh! No anime here. Even though anime is of course,animated,and can fall under the toon thing.

Sitting Ducks-Man! I love this show. It's very addicting. I've been watching this whenever I can. The characters are all unique,funny and the humor sticks to the typical Cartoon Network fanfare. Really glad CN picked this puppy up. I know it's aired in over 30 countries(same with Totally Spies),and is a big hit in Canada and Australia. I recorded some episodes for use to watch later on.

Courage The Cowardly Dog- Another awesome show that finally retired this year. Was sad to see it go. I loved the way the animators' awesome job on the backgrounds,and the stories were pretty cool. Poor Courage,felt sorry for him every time I'd see him when the show first came on. Move over Scooby. *LOL* Who knows,maybe Courage will make a "comeback" years from now like the Scooby toons did.

Those are the ones that I bother to watch regulary. As for other faves,I have a couple. But I'll list later.

Boring? I'd say it's been pretty lively over the past week. ^_^;

As for cartoons... nothing on TV (I pretty much just watch TV for the news); most of the shorts that I've been watching (that might come close) are anime music videos and random flash animations. If I can find the URLs again, I'll post.

I agree, it's been pretty lively to me. Anyway, I've been watching Teen Titans, I still watch Family Guy and Futurama, Home Movies, (almost anything else on Adult Swim), X-men Evolution, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...and more.

I don't tend to watch TV much. I used to watch one show on Tuesday's called Lucky, but it was taken off. Since then there isn't really any shows on TV living up to it's quality. So haven't watched any TV.
The last cartoon I watched was the first four episodes of Green Green, which is like watching Kimura-sensei in his high school days 0_o

Ah yes...cartoons...

Myself I really have been out of touch with whatever they've been airing on CN over there since i get the latin american station of it (and naturally dubbed to spanish). What do I like to watch mostly? The "Cartoon Cartoons" (mostly Johnny Bravo, Dexter, Courage & Ed/Edd/Eddy) and old-school antics of Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry.

So most of what I watch is stuff that really premiere a year or so ago and dubbed to Español. Then again I also get to see Boomerang (yes, I am an old school HB lover. Gimme Yogi and Huck Hound anyday.) and "Fox Kids" TV (which mostly airs anime shown on FOX, old FOXtoons like Spider-Man & X-men..and of course Power Rangers...).

Though personally, what I *don't* like are all the new Disney toons. Pepper-Ann...Recess...Teamo Supremo....
Man...where's the classic premises gone off? Disney TV toons were cool...now this kinda stuff just ain't my bag. Sadly, House of Mouse was good while it lasted. Gave this old fan a dose of nostalgia until they pulled the plug.

Oh well...

I like Teen Titans, Kim Possible, Spongebob, My Life As A Teenage Robot, and The Fairly Oddparents... those are the top 5 in my book (the last two made at my favorite studio... who's name I can't spell... Fredetor or something like that -__-)

Don't watch much TV at all (yeah... one of THOSE people), but when I do it's almost always cartoons. Any time I pass a Looney Tunes or Tom + Jerry short, I'll always stop. "New" stuff? I'll always watch a Simpsons rerun and I watched Futurama + Family Guy before they were axed (Bless you, DVDs!). Oh, and I really liked the 90s Batman animated series.

Occasionally, I'll watch an eps. of Dexter's Lab or Johnny Bravo and get a chuckle, but for the most part I find modern cartoons bland and homogenous (anime included). While I love the medium (I suggest everyone go out and see "The Animation Show" if it's playing in your neighborhood), most of what's on TV is just painful to watch... though I suppose the same could be said of most TV shows.

I still haven't bothered to watch Teen Titans yet. I gotta see that.

Speaking of Looney Toons,anyone see Duck Dodgers? I didn't care for that too much.

I've watched Duck Dodgers it's interesting to say the least.

The shows just okay, better then recent LT movies and Baby LT, but new characters don't really mesh well, it's like Daffy lives in the animated Batman world... well actually he does, in a future episode he becomes a Green Lantern and meets with THE Hal Jordan (yay! all 3 of Earth's GL's have been animated by Dini/Bruce now!) voiced by Kevin Smith... it's the only episode I look forward to watching.

Techincally he was in Justice League.

He wasn't called "Green Lantern Alan Scott" but rather "the Green Guardsman" but the design was identical (or close enough if they ever made a GG toy he could be turned into an Alan Scott animated style with little effort)

I don't think that counts. But Hal, Kyle, and John Stewart have been animated huh. That's cool.`

Well to me it's counts as an extreme techincality (unless the Dini/Timm style evolves drastically again should Alan Scott every show up he'll be nothing more then a recolored Green Guardsman)

But in actuality only the modern age GL's have been animated. (as have serval members of the Corp... a few more many even make it into the Duck Dodgers episode with Hal, but then again then might just be reused from that not-to-fun JL episode)

I think I'm pretty much with Hungrywolf on this one.

I don't generally watch any TV. It's a long story but I just don't have domain over it at my house. It's been like that for years and so I just learned to stop watching TV. (Especially since I am forbidden to watch things my parents don't like even though I'm like 20 and they preach about how it's good to be independant.) I learned not to care what was on.

Though I would happily watch adult swim if I could. (Save my dad sleeps in the living room and goes to sleep at about 8:30pm. And if it's the slightest bit loud he gets his old cranky ass up and bitches us all out for talking at 10pm.. as though it's truly that late.)

Though if I could... I would easily follow "The Family Guy" and "Futurama". And I'd most likely hit Adult Swim. ;_; Because I would like to now, I just can't.

Most of the stuff they show on Nick these days sucks. I can't believe they took off Invader Zim. Bastards.

10 words for you stupidhead:

"The Fairly Oddparents" and "My Life As A Teenage Robot"

Two of the greatest, if not the greatest shows on TV... All hail Frederator!!!

Zim was also over rated, it looked nice and had funny writing but if you ask me "I Feel Sick" was Jhonen's greatest achivement as a creator, and "Squee" is funnier then Zim anyway.

Spongebob also ain't so bad and Thornsberries is watchable now and then... but the rest of the stuff is crap though, 'specially Rocket Power.

I like Fairly Oddparents. Thornberries I used to watch a lot back in the day. And Rocket Power is just one big take-off on the whole skater trend going on these days.
