Since there's a Sucky Cartoons topic in here I think we need one about GOOD ones. I doubt everyone in here is 'LOLMG ANIME IS DA GOD EVERY WESTERN CARTOON STINKS'
So any good cartoons you've seen over the years?
I used to watch Cartoon Cartoons regularly until I got my PS2 and stumbled into this terrible show named Camp Lazlo. I never really seen much of Nicktoons and Disney(Hate the Disney Channel since day 1, only exposure I get is from my sis and Nicktoon has this horrible show named Ren and Stimpy)
Dexter Laboratory-Admittedly this is the first cartoon I saw in 1999. I also like the last two season even though they are not well liked
Powerpuff Girls
Sheep in the Big City-Favourite cartoon of the 2000s. Like the whole producing a show within a show with over the top ad in the show idea
Samurai Jack-When are they ever gonna make the movie? Question: Someone told me this cartoon is made from flash. I don't know if it's true
Grim and Evil-I prefer it when those two shows are together instead of seperate. Especially the former which I found got weaker after 2003
Time Squad
Johny Bravo-First season only
Ed, Edd n Eddy
Courage the Cowardly dog
Ben 10(original only)
Generator Rex
Megas XLR
Duck Dodgers
Teen Titans-Only saw the first few eps though. It aired around the time I got a PS2 so I didn't see much
Non Cartoon Network
American Dragon Jake Long-When it got cancelled I was convinced people are having shittier taste
Phineas and Ferb
Spongebob Squarepants-First three seasons only LOL especially season 1
Danny Phantom
Ye oldies
Tom and Jerry-The original and Chuck Jones era mainly. But do not like the Filmation and Gene Deitch era
Looney Tunes- Admittedly only the Bugs Bunny shorts, Chuck Jones and Robert McKimson Daffy Duck shorts and the Sniffles the Mouse shorts. Sylvester and Tweety, Road Runner and Wile E, Daffy and Speedy, B&W(including the recolours other than the original You oughta be in pictures), any Porky shorts without Daffy, 7Arts shorts are all especially out
Woody Woodpecker-Only the 40s shorts
Disney Movies if it counts-Though not Chicken Little, Dinosaur and Home on the Range
Scooby Doo
The Flintstone
The Jetsons
The Smurfs-I was disappointed when it disappeared though LOL Toei was involved
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original cartoon the ran from the late 80's to mid 90's)
Some other shows I remember liking
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (I thought that the Grim Reaper speaking in a Jamaican like accent was pretty funny; quite a few good VAs on this show too)
Fairly Odd Parents ("Timmy Turner has FAIRY GOD PARENTS!" (spasms))
Maybe I'll add more when I think of them.

Recent stuff I'm into:
Watching: A Certain Scientific Railgun (ep.14, stalled), Hoshi no Kirby (ep. 71, stalled), Nazo No Kanojo X (ep. 8), Acchi Kocchi (ep. 8)
Reading: nothing
Fairly Odd Parents... I only like the first few seasons(Up to season 3) and the older episodes that were on Cartoon Network. After that errr... They went down the Family Guy/Simpson route with highly exaggerated two dimensional characters
I will mention TAS was as far as I know, the best done superhero cartoon so far, as well as my favorite incarnation of Batman.
Missing from these lists is Animaniacs for "modern" shows (though I found one or two of the regular segments to be consistently unfunny).
I have fond memories of Duck Tails and Darkwing Duck, but I can't really recall enough to say that they were necessarily very good.
For classics, in addition to the already listed:
Popeye (B/W era) and Top Cat run among my favorites. Yogi Bear is also of course good. One was on the top of my head, but I forgot it.
And that's perfectly okay. I feel that this topic (and it's predecessor, Sucky Cartoons) is going to be very much opinionated. So there will be bits I agree with and bits I disagree with.

Pretty much how I feel word for word. Whenever Batman comes up, I always associate the character with the Animated Series incarnation.

HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET THIS?! Used to love Animaniacs!

Although I do remember little bits of Duck Tales and how awesome Scrooge McDuck was, I never watched much Darkwing Duck. Don't understand why, it looked like something that was right up my alley. Same with Batman Beyond/of the Future.
I didn't mention any older cartoons because eh. Although I watched some of them as a child, they aren't really anything I'd consider watching now.

Well there are quite a few I used to love. I liked a good many of Nickelodeon's 90's offerings.
Could probly still watch.....
Angry Beavers
Rocko's Modern Life
Used to like but don't think I could watch much today.....
Doug
Hey Arnold
Catdog
Rugrats
Fairly Odd Parents though a bit later I also enjoy. Probly the last nick cartoon I did enjoy watching.
Some of the stuff mentioned...
I actually hated most of the cartoon cartoon titles. They annoyed me. Though admittedly I did enjoy a few episodes of I am Weasel. lmao
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was also amusing at times.
I'm not much of an old school cartoons guy though I do like me some Felix the Cat. hehe
Animaniacs - My favorite segments were Slappy Squirrel and the Chicken that tried to do human stuff.
Transformers may fall into anime? But I loved the 80s Transformers too, especially the movie! oh god so awesome!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles = Awesome
90's X-Men, Spiderman and Batman = All good
most late 80's/90's videogame cartoons I saw I liked including Mario, Mega Man, and Sonic SatAM, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is also fun (exchanges the good plot and characters from SatAM for good humor so it's almost as good.)
More possibly oddball stuff....
Brandy and Mr.Whiskers - Yeah I liked this show quite a bit! So there!
Bucky O' Hare - This series is awesome. One of my favs. Need to hunt down the comics someday!
Adventures of Tintin - Yeah, awesome.
The Busy World of Richard Scarry - one of the best kids shows ever.
And as I mentioned in another recent topic I enjoy alot of kiddy/girly shows like Madeline and Sagwa. I haven't watched tons of episodes of this stuff, but I liked it.
Tin Tin and The Busy world of Richard Scarry, maaan it's been such a long time since I last saw those two shows I forgot about them.
Many of the show(Batman, Darkwing Duck, The Marvel Cartoons, Duck Tails, etc) all of you posted I haven't seen but they do look good I might consider watching them
Edit: I'm pretty sure Busy World of Richard Scarry is a really young kids cartoon. Gonna mention some
Sagwa
Blues Clues-Hell I had to get my mother to record this and Little Bill every time I'm in school so I can watch this at home until our Tape recorder died out(I was 8 during the time)
Little Bill-Ditto
Madeline-My sis exposed me to this. I saw a bit of the Live Action version but I didn't like it as much
P, B and J Otter
I used to like Dora but after the first(2001) year I seen it, I lost interest
Other kids stuff I loved were the puppet based ones like Lampchop and Eureka's Castle. Those were always fun to watch too! Even costumed characters like Sesame Street and Bananas in Pajamas were enjoyable sometimes.
The learning aspect of these types of shows would probably bore me today though I would like to see Eureka's Castle again for a nice nostalgia trip!
Interestingly enough The woman that did the lambchop puppet apparently did/does live shows with a more crude adult style of humor and that could possibly be awesome. lmao!
For kid targeted shows, Arthur was always pretty watchable, It had high ratings among college students during it's running for a reason. I've watched an ungodly amount of PBS crap though, thanks to not having cable and it being the only channel I had with something on 90 percent of the time, back in the day. Just would leave the tv on while I did other crap. Generally any kids show that talks down to kids though, I'm not going to be able to stand. Actually the practice of talking down to kids I can't really stand either.
Futurama is as far as I know the only show that was brought back after being canceled and still about as good after it was. In other news, canceling one of the shows of one of your most profitable creators who is bored of the show you're more or less forcing him to continue to make is a *beep* move.

Hi Spongebob.
Never seen the show but one of my cousin loaned it years ago back on 2004
As a child i enjoyed The Smurfs, Biker Mice From Mars, Duckula, Sonic The Hedgehog (the one that preceded satam), Wacky Races, Pinky & The Brain, Dennis & Gnasher & Loony Tunes. There may have been others but I cant remember them
As a grown adult, there are animations that I watched as a child that Im still fond of
The Trap Door is still utterly brilliant. Plots were genarally non-exsistent but it was silly and plasticine stop motion is always fun to watch. There was always something wiggling around in the background
Insektors was the first CGI cartoon. It got a boring US dub (from French) but a hilarious and downright goofy UK dub
The earlier Tom & Jerry cartoons directed by Fred Quimby are utterly timeless. No-one sane could dislike those
And Shaun the Sheep, albeit much later, is another plasticine stop motion gig spun off from Wallace & Gromit (also very good) which I sometimes watch if im in a bad mood
I might edit some other things in later, the Grand Prix is about to start
Over the past couple weeks, I've begun recalling one of the popular toons from the 90s I grew up with -- the one made by none other than Ted Turner himself. Yes, I am aware it's cheesy as hell by today's standards, but hey, it had a neat concept about protecting the environment at the time.
In other words, it's Captain Planet & the Planeteers. I never got to see all the episodes back when I was a kid, but today (thanks to YouTube) I got to watch plenty of them for nostalgic reasons.
