While I don't need all childrens programming to be dark and serious, I have always believed that children deserve good quality shows that give them something of value; a good story, good morals, stuff to think about etc. But sometimes as a kid you just watched stuff because it was on and the TV acted like a magnet to your eyeballs. So what are some shows you take with you from back then and will defend for all eternity, and some you regret having ever let into your concious?
Before I come with my own examples, I'll stress that we should keep it civilized and constructive. We are not here to bash each others childhood, if some hate something someone else hold dear, or vice versa. We all have different tastes, morals, and values, so if I dislike something you don't, it ain't a personal attack.
Also, to add a bit of fun, try to summarize your shows in ONE sentence, boiling it down to the bare basics.
Some shows I loved:
Jumanji - Kids going on dangerous adventures in a magic malicious jungle.
Redwall - Woodland critters on epic adventures in medieval time
Fantastic Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor - Two adventurous youths and their cat on seafaring voyages
Jackie Chan - Exciting martial arts adventures with Jackie-boy who fights demons
Noah's Island - The daily misadventures of the animals on a stray island hoping to find paradise
Rugrats - The world seen through the imaginary eyes of toddlers and the protag who is way mature for his age
Ed, Edd n Eddy - Misadventures of a money-scheming trio who always comically get their just deserts
Sonic X - Speedy blue hedgehog on the hunt for magic gemstones while fighting bad guys
Some shows I hated:
Franklin - Everyday life of an insufferable selfish young turtle boy with no social morals
Angelina Ballerina - Mouse girl dancing ballet who is always mean to her younger brother
Amanda Anaconda - Schoollife of girl who uses her imagination to grill people she dislikes
Kim Possible - Insufferable teenage girl who saves the world but can't stand when others surpass her
Foster's Home - Daily life of a ragtag bunch of ugly ass misfits that look like rejects from other cartoons
Fanboy & Chumchum - The title alone sounds like they had no ideas
Flapjack - Ugly ass artstyle
What're some of yours?
