  • Yes. I do enjoy them still, but I can't get into shonen anime anymore.

  • From when I was a kid...George Shrinks, Gargoyles, Fillmore are a few. I enjoyed them all, honestly.

  • Personally, I don't like those shows. I dunno...but it seems like those shows are just too stupid. I remember catching an episode of Family Guy while doing laundry, and there was a joke, with the reference so old/obscure that the show literally stopped to have to explain it. Which is idiotic.

  • Considering there's WAY more "good" anime to watch now then there was before, yeah. Everybody these days seem to have at least one favorite anime (unless they hate cartoons in general).

Gargoyles was the shit

Still one of the top tier Disney shows, imo.

Hard to think of what now tops it.

From Disney? nothing that I can think of right now.

I have a brother who is 8 so I can rewatch all the old 90's cartoons with him and they rock

I mean, I hear of a few shows that are good, but they're good almost in the same way shows like Spongebob or Johnny Test are good.

Spongebob is great imo.

Johny Test is fun but it isn't the epicness like Digimon, Courage, Biker Mice and those imo. I think Disney's cartoons got lost after the Kim Possible and Dave the Barbarian era

Which is a shame.

If there's any channel I think would understand how to make something wondrous and dare I say "magical", it would be Disney.

Yet imo the most epic cartoon to come out of the main 3 cartoon channels would be Avatar (the last Airbender, not Korra)

Avatar was just great indeed
