Midnight Dragon 264 November 29, 2013 Share November 29, 2013 Are there any cartoons that you loved as a kid and still love today--but no one seems to remember or appreciate them? I got the idea for this topic when I was watching my old tapes of The Cartoon Adventures of Larryboy. It was basically a tribute to the old cheesy superhero cartoons--with some good lessons as well. Unfortunately, it obviously didn't do so well, since it lasted only four episodes... There were also chapter books based on the cartoon, a few of which were novelizations of the episodes...all I can say is that those books sure were weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,672 November 29, 2013 Share November 29, 2013 I remember a nostalgia cartoon that I loved so much. Static Shock was probably one of my favorite superhero cartoons, I just wish some people still remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendy 1,817 November 29, 2013 Share November 29, 2013 Futurama. That show disverved so much better. With a higher budget and better writers it would be so much better. "Nothing is impossible, not if you can imagine it." And also multiverse of which Futurama had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Luigi 2,053 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 Mr. Meaty. This may be an unpopular opinion but I thought it was a great cartoon that could've had a longer run. Kappa Mikey. I could say the same thing as above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypn0ticD 1,212 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 Teen Titans, Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, and --- Okay, that's all I can think of at the moment! I loved all three shows, and think all three deserved SOOO much more! All three had awesome writing, excellent cast of voice actors, and interesting stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koelath 442 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 Futurama. That show disverved so much better. With a higher budget and better writers it would be so much better.

How is that nostalgic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashy 2,798 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 Some probably wouldn't consider this overrated, since it's got quite a cult following even to this day, but it seemed to me that Invader Zim was always underappreciated by the mainstream. It truly deserved a longer run than it got, and I can't believe Nickelodeon - the network that let Rocko's Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy get away with so much - pussed out and forbade creator Jhonen Vasquez from going in the direction he wanted to. Sad, sad times. Other than that, I really liked Rocket Power despite its horrendously stereotyped portrayal of West Coasters. Guilty pleasure, I guess... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,319 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 Class of 3000. It was a cartoon network show that didn't last long. It was cancelled for the creator being sued. I found this show to be really funny as a kid and I like the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

Koelath 442 December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 I remember a nostalgia cartoon that I loved so much. Static Shock was probably one of my favorite superhero cartoons, I just wish some people still remember it. Static Shock? That show about the likeable guy in an urban environment who gains electricity-based powers and uses them to be completely awesome despite increasingly powerful and bizarre enemies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris 224 December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 Definitely gotta be The Ripping Friends from the same guys, who created Ren & Stimpy! Also Megas XLR was one of those cartoons that I really loved! Too bad that both of these cartoons were discontinued very early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 (edited) Tom and Jerry. While it may not be underrated, it's still nostalgic. Edited December 16, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,324 December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, it didn't run very long(I think somewhere right around 26 episodes) but it's really good and surprisingly well written for a Saturday morning cartoon going off the premise of "let's take Sherlock Holmes and use some contrived "he was frozen and we revived him" plot to put him in the future.

lomk 20,653 December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 I don't know if it's underrated, but it is definitely nostalgic One of my favorite shows as a kid was Angry Beavers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTnXIktkgrw 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broseph 215 December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 Animaniacs..I'm not sure if it's because I'm a Brit or not, but none of my friends seem to know about this show's existence. Some of them know about Pinky and the Brain, but none of the other brilliant characters like the Warner Brothers (and sister), Slappy the Squirrel or the Goodfeathers. Which is kinda upsetting because I don't think there's a cartoon that's smarter or funnier than Animaniacs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Thunder Dash 7,405 December 16, 2013 Share December 16, 2013 The old Code Lyoko. Loved that show to death. Was always waiting for the new episodes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

~Silver Essence~ 2,617 January 14, 2014 Share January 14, 2014 Catscratch from Nickelodeon. NO ONE REMEMBERS THIS SHOW, it was funny, worth the time, and completely underrated. It's sad it got cancelled very soon, because this was probably the last good Nickelodeon show in years. X/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrFrog 922 January 15, 2014 Share January 15, 2014 Hasbro can bring back Dungeons and Dragons as a tv show if they so desired, why won't they? who knows. Y'know, I don't even think they finalized this series before the parent groups brought it down. http://youtu.be/mfif5DiGMYc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
