Good Cartoons :)

Ok, so some of you might think this is a wee bit childish, but there are some good cartoons that are out there, you have to admit :smile:.

I love Jimmy Neutron :!) :-p It gets kids to like science, at a young age, I know I started to like science more, after watching it. It made it fun and a great learning experience :biggrin:

Does anyone else have any favs, they don't have to be science related either?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Scooby Doo, the original 60s ones...
Hey Arnold! was always good...
 
X-men which i didn't watch as a child but now watch it as an adult, Rocko's Modern Life, a cartoon I can now enjoy adult and appreciate and understand the subtle inneuido , Looney tunes(yeah even some of the racists ones). There are some things you just cannot let go of

Yeah lol, RML has a LOT of innuendos (in your endo, sorry couldn't help it)
 
What's RML?
 
Rocko's Modern Life, didn't want to spell it out...
 
Oh, ok, my bad. It was a good show. Does it still play on a channel on tv?
 
I think it can be seen occasionally on one of the Nickelodeon channels.
 
Sweetness, guess I'll be keeping my eyes open :biggrin:

The Spectacular Spider-Man is pretty wicked.

I used to watch Dexter's Lab, Garfield and Friends, and Cowboy Bebop... but not much else, I don't think.
