I grew up with the Pink Panther and used to watch it in my mates house because they had a colour TV.

Spongebob can be amusing but his laugh irritates me:mad:. Fairly odd parents is good:). Sky has any amount of kids' programmes but I don't think the stuff is as good as back in the Seseme street, Banana Splits (with the Arabian Knights and Valley of the Dinosaurs) Pipkins, Muppet show days:). Maybe we feel the things we watched were better 'cos we were young ones then, getting lots of enjoyment out of them. I still like to watch the old Scooby Doos, not the new ones or even the ones with Scrappy Doo in them.

Tom and Jerry is still king for me, even beats the Simpsons.

Others:
Top Cat,
Animaniacs, (Hellooooooo Nurse)
Mutley and Dick Dastardly,
Road runner,
Dangermouse,
Pink Panther,
Yogi,
Flintstones.

SpongeBob and Fairy God Parents are hilarious, amusing for both kids and adults.

THANK YOU!! That was pluckin A1 man.
Animaniacs was one of the best cartoons of all time. Can't understand why they stopped that.

Correction, Pinkey and the Brain was the best. Not 100% sure, but there may have been a new series a couple of years ago.

Edit: Nope, just re runs on Boomerang. They've stopped them now.

I loved that.
Every night my brother would ask me

''what are we doing tomorrow?''

And of course I'd tell him

''Same thing we do every day, try to take over the world!''
