I know everyone is huge on their anime but I want to talk about the cartoons you grew up on and feel nostalgic for.

When I grew up it was the 1960's-70's. I became nstalgic for Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show, Wacky Races (even though it only lasted 2-3 seasons). I remember Scooby Doo when he was brand new. In the 70's though I became quite fascinated in the cartoon Dungeon's and Dragons. Yeah, I'm old

Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory and all of those cartoons. Oh and I like all kinds from the 50's and 60's. They make me feel warm inside. XD

You know growing up in the 90s, while I remember plenty of shows, there were like twice that many at least I either forgot or never heard of or whatever.  It was a period where anything and everything was made into a TV show.  Such crazy times, nowadays shows barely stay on for a season most times.  And most cartoons have no actual plot just daily comedy skits which is okay, but well...times change I guess.

I grew up on watching the Looney tunes on my old VHS tapes. I loved watching Bugs Bunny. Nowadays I think on stuff with Elmer and Bugs, I question alot on Elmer for stuff I won't mention here.

I also liked Tiny Tunes Adventures, Goof Troop, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Pinky and The Brain etc etc. I also liked alot of Cartoon Networks old shows like Cow and Chicken and Dexter.

I grew up in the 80's and 90's in a rural area of the country with bad TV reception.   We only got one channel and usually the only cartoon available to watch was Garfield and Friends, and Muppet babies.   When i was in my late teens I moved to the city and was amazed at all of the cool stuff to watch, soon I was addicted to anime....

I like Squad 4, less risk of dying, the work may be hard, but I get to stay away from hollows.

I watched a ton of cartoons growing up: Thunder Cats, Silverhawks, TMNT, Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, Jem, Pirates of Darkwater (I hated that ended so short), Batman the Animated Series, Gargoyles, Ducktales, Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, Tiny Toons, Voltron, Robotech, Talespin, Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, Muppet Babies, Looney Toons, Aladdin, Rainbow Bright, Strawberry Shortcake, He-man, Shera... there's more... but that's a lot of them.

I used to get up extra early to watch weekday morning cartoons... go to school, come home... watch weekday afternoon cartoons.  Get up on the weekend to watch Saturday morning cartoons.  I'm a cartoon fiend. 

I can't say as I'm too fond of current cartoons though, they just don't hold as much draw as older cartoons.

omg... all those classic shows. I'd definitely have to add Road Rovers and Skeleton Warriors, along with Reboot, Taz-Mania, Histeria, and I believe some show dealing with a football team standing in for King Arthur and his knights.

I definitely grew up with Bugs Bunny.  It's funny how much they edit out now to be PC or safe for the kids.

My after school routine was Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, and Voltron.  I'm embarrassed to admit that...

Saturday was Smurfs and Dungeons and Dragons - I loved that show, but they always seemed to be showing the same episode every time I watched it.

Ahhhhhh She-Ra and Voltron. I remember those shows too. When I think of She-Ra I always wonder why they drew her with such a big butt (though her big chest was a plus to me.) Also I did enjoy Volton though one moment I've always remembered with a bit of giggling was when the princess was spanked by her nanny in front of the other members of the group.
