Ask Lemmy

Another I don't think I saw mentioned - Pinky Malinky! If you're looking for a slightly deranged but entirely sweet, over the top and extremely fast paced modern one, Pinky Malinky will not disappoint. This show was made with real love lol. And several other weird things I don't think I have.

Just note, if you're old, you'll be laughing at jokes about 3-jokes-back, the entire time. It's quick, and I usually hate that cuz it usually just hides poor craft. Not here.

Oh don't think I saw Courage the Cowardly Dog on your list. Haven't returned to it in a real long time but it was a classic of oddity in its era of course.

• Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers
• Duck Tales

And since it seems like you’re not shying away from shows with some fucked up things kids probably shouldn’t have watched but are kinda formative anyways

• Super Dimensional Fortress Macross

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack was a fun little CN show that didn't really get a chance to shine. But it did up launching a lot of careers for some of the more popular creators of shows on the list you've already got.

And a fun syndicated cartoon from the 80s was The Adventures of the Galactic Rangers. Its about psychic space cowboys.

Add just a little bit of 60s and 70s Hannah Barbara (Johnny quest, Scooby-Doo, old superhero shows) so that when they are older, you can show them Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law and GOATed of all time animated series The Venture Bros

Late to this party but I fear your list will never be complete without Wallace and Grommit and Spongebob Square Pants. You could add Shaun the Sheep too.

No Hanna Barbera? You should throw a few in to mix it up. Like a Snagglepuss, one Huckleberry hound, and one Yogi Bear. The first season of Scooby Doo is iconic. Josie and the Pussy Cats was good. 60's Hanna would include the excellent Johnny Quest. I'd also throw in a singular Space Ghost and Herculoids to break things up.

I found Freakazoid to be hilarious when I was in my teens, even though a lot of the jokes felt like they were written for my parents. It's a fairly short series too, at least compared to a lot of the other kids shows.

Invader Zim has a lot of laughs for kids and adults!

You have a bit of anime on there but I feel like pokemon and Dragonball z are missing. Simpsons could be added too.

My specialty! Cartoons! No guarantees my opinions may not be basic or good!

• Code Lyoko ( can get a little dark at times and also characters with not just foreheads, but fiveheads ) ( also has maybe 2 or so scenes of an underage girl in just her undies/bra, but in a European kid friendly manner ) ( every episode is available on a dedicated official Code Lyoko ENG dub channel, and original dub on its own official channel as well )

• If you can somehow find it, Dofus: The Treasures of Kerubim ( Kerubs's Bazaar is apparently the, IMO, horrible English name ) ( same universe as Wakfu, but in a distant past I guess )

• Summer Camp Island ( 6 seasons that start off more episodic and start to get more serialized before the very serialized and probably rushed close to death final season ) ( summer camp run by 3 witches, shenanigans with magic and magical creatures happen )

• Some episodes are technically lost media, either in the original ENG dub or in general, but Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown ( a rare example of Australian cartoon work, follows an anthro kangaroo who basically does everything he can to fight against a corrupt mayor ) ( huh, sounds topical with the state of the world, kinda ) ( episodes available can be found on the The Skippy Archive yt channel, if that makes any difference )

• Ahhhh! Real Monsters ( unless I completely missed this on the list, kinda shocked it's not there while the classsic Klasky Csupo show Rugrats is )

• Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog ( the campy in a pretty dumb kinda way cartoon and not SatAM, though I personally recommend that one if you want something a little more serious and darker in tone )

• Rocket Power ( another Klasky Csupo I personally think is good enough to pass )

I wanted to list some others, but I scroll down to the list only to find them. I mean, Angry Beavers was already there. Same with like Batman Beyond and D.W. and Infinity Train. This post just makes me realize I don't know as many cartoons as I should.

I think the following would make great additions

Talespin

Garfield and Friends(seem to remember watching this one religiously as a kid, but more so for the “and friends” part. )

COPS was a weird one

Gotta have the Thundercats!

M.A.S.K

Gotta have X-Men just for the theme song at least lol

Eek! The Cat.

Don't remember much about the episodes but I did used to watch it "religiously" as a kid.

I may have missed them in the list but how about

The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack

Chowder

Catdog

Rocket Power

Ren & Stimpy

Doug

As Told by Ginger

The Wild Thornberrys

Johnny Bravo

Sharkey and George

I Am Weasel

You've already got all of my recommendations, but please alphabetically sort these so we can check more easily!

• 80's Masters of the Universe since there is a movie coming soon.

• The Powerpuff Girls is fantastic for both kids & adults.

• BraveStarr was one of my favorites as a kid, but haven't seen it in decades, don't know how well it holds up

Total Drama Island and/or The Ridonculous Race (same universe). They're camp (hehe) but pretty good overall

The Moomin are there. No need to add anything else.

Dino-Riders

"Over the Garden Wall" is missing from your image list.

I’m a little worried that no one has mentioned Mystery Inc. yet. It’s probably the best version of Scooby-Doo ever done.
Also look in to Clone High both the 2002 version and the 2023 restart. It’s a really fun show more for teenagers and the blueprint that Total Drama Island ripped off. It’s also the very first time Miller and Lord, of Spider-verse and Hail Merry fame, got to run a show.

Everyone here has triggered great memories of series for me.

I didn't see any mentions of GRAVITY Falls I may have missed it. Also one of my old favorites was BRAVE STAR

Beetlejuice Ducktales The gummi bears David the Gnome

I think the original run of The Muppet Show deserves a spot on the list too

It seems like you have a massive list already. So here's a few more!

A few ones I enjoyed (mostly as a kid) which aren't listed or mentioned:

Conan the Barbarian the Animated Series - very 90's. I used to record it on VHS

Visionaries - Knights of the Magical Light. - Commissioned to help sell a toy line with holograms (all the rage in the 80s) Cartoon was pretty good quality for the time.

Pole Position- Ulysses 31 (currently seeding btw)- Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - which are all French Japanese Cartoons scored by Shuky Levy who really encapsulates the sound of an 80's after school cartoon for me. Even if the plot is a bit meh at times the intro music is absolutely cracking.

Around the World with Willy Fogg - Dogtanian and Three Muskahounds - Spanish Japanese production. Also great theme tunes!

ReBoot - (Ian Gibson who worked on 2000AD developed this. The CG might have aged a bit though! Kids cartoon but had some quite adult reference at the time)

Camp Lazlo - by creator of Rocko's Modern Life

Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? - Short lived Cartoon Network offereing circa 2002.

No 70s Hanna Barbera? Short formats but I enjoyed Roger Ramjet, Batfink (both not Hanna Barbera) and Topcat (which is but was made in the 60's.)

Mine I think, is younger than yours but absolutely adores Hey Duggee and Squirrel Club and they are very good with great music. Check out the Space or Music Video episodes in particular.

Not certain what age level you're looking for, but here are some I don't see on your list. A few of these have been mentioned by others, and I second their opinion.

*Chowder

*Kick Buttowski

*Over the Garden Wall (some spookiness)

*Thundercats

*Home Movies (occasional light swearing)

*The Amazing World of Gumball

*Regular Show (some light adult themes)

*Inspector Gadget

*G.I. Joe

*Super Friends (1970s-80s)

Growing up I loved Pinky and The Brain and Batfink

I strongly recommend finishing "She-Ra and the Princess of Power" and/or "Amphibia".

I'm a sucker for a Strong, Female Protagonist, and really anything by Lee Ostertag (partner of ND Stevenson) or Brennan Lee Mulligan.

(EDIT: Updated name; didn't know about the name change when I first posted. Added parenthetical connecting second paragraph to the first.)
