YOUR Top 15 Cartoons-EVER!, Search your inner child's soul and make a list.

Think about what you watched religiously every Saturday morning or what you watched over & over & over & over again after-school or early in the morning before you went to school.

Maybe you still watch cartoon as an adult, alone or with your kids . What cartoons do you think are THE BEST. They have set a standard or withstood the test of time. Maybe they represent a great era in history or they just made/make you feel good, no matter what.Give it up for the TOONS!!!!!!

# 1-Bugs Bunny-there can be only one......

#2-Tom & Jerry-Itchy & Scratchy, The Odd Couple, there are so many famous duos (live action & toon) who owe their wealth & fame to these two
#3-Mickey Mouse-sure, Disney represents some weird fa ke plastic concept of American happiness but Mickey & his original pals are PURE classic golden innocence
#4-The Flintsones-this cartoon had everything, based on the Honeymooners, a poor struggling loudmouth, the ultimate sidekick/friend, kick-ass opening song, guest stars from Hollywood, infertility & adoption (you go, Bam-Bam!)
#5-School House Rocks!- this ABC/Channel 6 produced Educational series totally tutored me & my generation, I can STILL sing half the tunes (Conjunction Junction, Wh at's YOUR Function and don't get me started on I'm Just A Bill)

#6-SpongeBob-a modern classic that believes in magic, whimsy, silliness, humor but it has a weird streak that hints at subversion and radical thinking.
#7-The Simpsons-I speak of the classic seasons, I guess from seasons 1 thru 10) , these guys RULED, especially their early Halloween episodes and by a stroke of luck, The Movie was AWESOME!
#8-Spiderman-the original 1960s cartoon that had that spectacular jazzy soundtrack with a lot of brass & drums, the voices were sexy too, and I was a kid but I appreciated it
#9-HomeMovies-I love this outrageous series that has 7 or 8 year olds doing spoofs/versions of adult films while showing the warped ridicu lous lives of the people around them. Brendon, Jason & Melissa- You guys rock!

#10-Mighty Mouse-yeah, I was a sucker for that brawny little mouse of steel, and the classic episodes where the characters sang opera and they overacted like 19 30s style era film serials was just what I needed as a tyke
#11-Fairly OddParents-the episodes that are PRE-Baby Poof are absolutely wonderful ridiculous 15 minute whirlygigs of sight gags & puns & fast furious chaotic nonsense, I sure miss them
#12-Futurama-intelligent sci-fi with ribald naughty bits that get freaky crazy cool on a regular basis
#13-GI JOE-yeah, The Real American Hero-and NOW you know, And KNOWING's HALF THE BATTLE...GI JOE!!!!!!!! Go Joe!!!! (I am so embarrassed right now....)

#14-The Peanuts Gang-the 60s & 70s were dominated by Charlie Brown during the holidays and at special times when the cartoon kids got special tales to share like a softball game or a spelling bee -OUTSTANDING!!!!

#15- Scooby Doo-a group of teen wanderers who drove around, never went to school, never worked, never saw their parents, they looked out for each other & solved crimes and stood up for the downtrodden all while sneaking some food & dancing to their 8-track t apes (a stoner geek, a nerd girl, a closeted gay jock, and the smart pretty chick, and their goofy big dog- best extended family EVER)

#16-Daria-the best damn hip cool teen comedy about being a weird outsider girl dealing with highschool in the 1990s, MTV 's 10 SPOT used to be the shit!!!!!!!!! (Yeah, I know I said only 15 BUT I give everybody one extra candidate because....well, why not?)

Post Scipt: of course, most of these cartoon series, like any show, got worse as they ran on but in their hey day they were all great. But story arcs get dumb, like The Great Kazoo on Flintstones or voice talent dies or director/producers change and the cartoon gets drawn differently.....But overall, these shows are special and I either own a few DVD collections or I definitely watch a show if I catch a rerun. Or better yet, I tell my kids about it and we watch together and I get to see my favorites through their eyes.

ALSO: I intentionally left off ANIME, that' s a whole 'nother list altogether!!!!
