What shows/cartoons that you grew up watching, were your favorite?

I didn't get to watch a lot of TV when I was little but throughout my life, I remember my favorite shows. I remember sitting in a highchair watching Sesame Street and She-ra. A year or two later was Care Bears, Smurfs, My Little Pony, followed by Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Tiny Toons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tale Spin, & the X-Men cartoons . My family was also a big fan of the Batman-the animated series cartoons. My sister eventually got me watching Saved By the Bell when I was a young teenager and I watched that religiously for several years. Then it was Lois & Clark-the new adventures of Superman and Fresh Prince of Bellair (sp?). Now, for the last few years, I've been back on the cartoons with the Japanese Animes on Cartoon Network. :) :D ;)

XxSweetFacadexX reminded me of a few more that I forgotten. Strawberry Shortcake and Disney's Gummi Bears are two more that aren't on the lists yet. Anyone remember that cartoon David and the Gnomes? I think that was '80's. I love all the '80's shirts and memorbila stuff they've been coming out with lately! It makes me think of my carefree childhood---had less problems then.

I remember that. I loved that cartoon but then I lost intrest when they started showing more of the different characters and the stories weren't as intersting. I loved Swift the fox. ;)

Never heard of those. I thought The Shadow was just the radio program and that one movie with Alec Baldwin.

I guess TV hasn't realy been a big part of my life considering I have no Idea what half of those are and the only way I know another 30% is from comercials for nick at night :p

When I was realy young it was sesame street and mr. rogers. than a show called square one(I tihnk that was the name). than I dropped mr rogers and started watching NBC nightly news, than dropped the other two and added in xmen cartoons and batman the animated series, than added exo-squad, than dropped xmen than exo squad went off the air, than added the x-files, than the simpsons, was a small amount of time I liked the discovery channel, than picked up a few episodes of millenium, loved the show but was hard to remember to watch it. Than batman faded away and discovery got boaring, than the xfiles got bad, than the history channel came out and I have watched that since. Today I watch the history channel, various news shows, futurama, the fammily guy, invader zim, and gary the rat. Sometimes watch fastlane and john doe. But all those are pritty iffy, only garuntee in a given week is the history channel and news.
