Adventure Time and Chowder. Good Cartoons.
You left out Flapjack, go to hell.
I don't even remember what the metaplot was. Did it have something to do with Helga, or was it related to him getting out of school?
They were going to reveal the thing with his parents, and that was gonna cause the whole web to unfold. Helga's family's dysfunctionality was going to be blown apart, for example, and infact there were plans to have Helga's mom get her own adult-oriented spin-off where she tackles her alcoholism.

I enjoyed watching Kim Possible when it was on. That show was chock-full of witty banter, and being a fan of the spy genre to begin with, all I can say is I'm ashamed to have been so late getting into it.

I've just realised that I never posted my nostalgia set D:'...

First of all, we have Rugrats.
It's a draw at second place; Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack
Finally, in third place comes Powerpuff girls

those were good times :D

Chowder is retarded, but it makes it funny. Adventure Time looks like crap, but that is just my first impression. Flapjack is an epic failure.

uwah- I posted the new shows I liked, but I didn't post what old shows I liked XD

The Adventures of TinTin (f*ck yeah if you guys remember it)
Rupert (white bear, goes on adventures, anyone remember..?)
The Littl' Bits (my first anime heck yeah)
Rugrats (biggest obsession before Pokemon..'cause like..it came out when I was Chuckie's age ffft)
Power Puff Girls (lost interest eventually, for like, no reason; but man oh man, those were good times. F*ck the anniversary special, though. It was crap)
Hey Arnold, Rocko's modern life, As Told by Ginger (SHUSH IT WAS GOOD OKAY *sobs*) the stuff that was on cartoon network...

I think the only cartoons I disliked back then were like, rocket power and the wild thorn berries 8I Everything else though..awesome.

P.S. I would have Samurai Pizza Cats on my list, but I didn't find out about that show 'til a couple of years ago. APPARENTLY, it got replaced by Banana's in friggen Pajamas, and I didn't find that network/time slot 'til that show came on, so..

The Code Geass AMV you showed me to "You Know My Name" is all the proof I need that there is one. Image

I've noticed most of my favorite channels have become less fun over the years but I decent shows on Comedy Central. The higher up Nickelden channels have some decent Marvel shows at random times but Disney has released some original show like Phineas and Ferb or Kick Buttouski.

Sounds like a good test.
But Pinky and the Brain was a primetime network television show, and it even won a primetime Emmy. It was already popular with adults. Nowadays it seems there's more of a divide between kids shows and adult cartoons, as funny as it is sadly I can't imagine Chowder doing even passably on network primetime tv...

Agreed~ *randomly butting in OTL* (I always thought Animaniacs was funnier than pinky and the brain though...did they ever win anything? o3o)

I'm not ashamed to admit I like watching iCarly. Its well written, just like Drake and Josh was, and just like Kenan & Kel before that.

Boomerrang sounds like my kind of channel. But right now I don't have cable, let alone upgraded package cable.

Xmen Evolution, Static Shock, and 90s Xmen sound like the only good ones on Disney XD, I really stopped liking Naruto after Zabuza died way back at the beginning of the first series.

Not really interested in the rest, though Teen Titans was pretty good, I just wish they'd given it a proper ending instead of the last episode being a kiss-off to Terra.
