Most Nostalgic Cartoons From Your Youth

This thread is a tribute to the things I used to really love as a child, half of which are things that inspired me to want to draw things and delve into the arts next to comic books and the art museums I used to read about (before the internet) I am curious what things you all grew up with?

As some of you may know I mainly post threads in the member art forum and do hit and run style posts in threads that catch my interest TV threads are not generally my thing. This here I am hoping will help re-invigorate the feeling and thoughts of my boyhood that partly moved my in a way that caused me to start these art things. I really would like to know what it was you guys and gals really liked Below is some of the ones I grew up with:













there is so many to list, Other ones like duck tales, darkwing duck, the legend of zelda cartoon, pee wees playhouse and so many more to list.

The Snorks!

Nice I forgot all about them, I was going to post a clip of the smurfs too but I figured I want to see everyone elses nostalgic cartoons =D not necassarily agree with my list, this my friend is a gem piece because I forgot all about them. I was born in 1985 so what I had as a kid is so different then what they got today, I remember watching reboot and thinking wow look at these graphics I wonder when they will make a sega genesis game like that lol.

Superfriends, Loved it!

Yesss! keep them rolling in, I am going to watch cartoons this weekend so keep em on coming in, too bad we can't have a group drunken skype involving us boozing and watching cartoons together. lol

Those are the first 3 that come to mind. Then there are these 2 classics:



Each of those takes me back to my childhood.

Nice choices, I loved the thundercats, I was one of those that didn't watch Dragonball Z, I used to catch the original Dragon Ball and used to read the old black and white manga of the time when I could get my hands on it in the kids section of the local library.

I used to also watch Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Wing as well. I miss the old school days of Toonami on the weekends. =D I had a guilty pleasure for the TV show "Wishbone" as well but that wasn't a cartoon =(

a reply to: Brotherman Oh my gosh! I love this thread. I have a few favorites from childhood. I really loved David the Gnome!
Here is one I watched every week,


There was a cartoon I watched about Baron Munchousen and have scoured the internet looking for it.. all I remember is a beautiful song and only one lyric from the song, ''We are the sirens of the sea...''

i was born in the eighties, but i have vague memories of this cartoon.
when i used to speak french.

Johnny Quest:

a reply to: Bluntone22

Hell no, I was waiting for someone to mention scooby, My fav episodes were the vampire ones, I was never a fan of scrappy doo though, something about puppy power I always despised I still don't like scrappy doo

If you like Silverhawks, you'll love this.


Also a few classics.

a reply to: Konduit

Lazerhawk is cool, the artstyle reminds me of GI Joe, also the youtube channel RetroNewWave (a music channel) has a group that makes instrumental music named lazerhawk based on this cartoon and they are fairly good!!!

a reply to: Brotherman

Yeah man, I actually made a thread about the same channel not that long ago. It's awesome.

New Retro Wave - The 80's Making a Comeback

a reply to: Konduit

Hell Yeah dude! I listen to that channel all the time when I am drawing and painting, it is usually between that and regular classical and electronic classical, I also love dubstep piano and violin (both are my favorite organic instruments)

How about space battleship Yamato?
That's ones on Hulu
