	Great 90s cartoons Suffering from ads?

Give it 5 years or so, and we'll be starting to get in mood for remiscining about how great the 90s were. One of the things I believe I'll fondly remember were the kick-ass cartoons.

I mean, think of it! Simpsons started (I think) in 1989, but considering it really started to get good on second or third season, Simpsons is the quintessential cartoon (maybe even quintessential TV show) of the nineties. Other important cartoon show considering all that followed was Ren & Stimpy which also started in early nineties. And from there followed Beavis & Butthead, Daria, South Park, King of the Hill, Futurama, Family Guy, and probably a few more that I've forgotten or weren't shown in Finland.

Also, it looks like the great cartoons mostly died with nineties. B&B and Ren & Stimpy were cancelled around the middle of the decade, Daria and Family Guy didn't survive long into the 2000s, Simpsons has rapidly gone downhill and South Park's gotten kinda stale as well. And I may well be wrong, considering that I'm less available to latest TV programming here, but I haven't seen anything good to come replace.

Ahh, nineties cartoons.

D'oh! I knew I forgot something. I mean, IMHO Animaniacs wasn't that hot, but Pinky & The Brain was good.

"Transformers: Beast Wars." Not to be confused with the abominably Pokemonified 2000's cartoon "Transformers: Armada."
Wasn't "Captain Planet" a 90's cartoon? Man, did that show ever suck. Worst villains ever. And what kind of a lame power is the "power of heart?"

"The Critic" was the most underrated cartoon of the 90s. Brilliant and side-splittingly funny.

I didn't watch the Family Guy much, but it certainly had its moments...

Bachelorette: "If I were an ice cream cone, how would you eat me?"
Bachelor 1: "I'd lap my tongue all over you so that I could enjoy you all night."
Bachelor 2: "I'd start out just nibbling away until you'd warmed up, and then I'd dive right in."
Bachelor 3: "I would eat you quickly, before I went flaccid."

The new Batman was actually the old Batman -- it was a lot closer to the original Detective Comics concept than the Hanna-Barbara Batman ever was. Great art, great writing, great voice acting.

Family Guy certainly had it's moments. Like everything with Quagmire. Especially the scene in the end of that one episode with cheerleaders where Quagmire finds that tied-up head cheerleader in the toilet. Man, that show got away with a *lot* of stuff.

And South Park had it's moments - the "Uncle Fucka" song in the movie, among others. And Simpsons had it's moments, like the rake scene with Sideshow Bob. And Daria had it's moments, like the entire series (I might be a bit biased from downloading and watching Daria episodes all week, I admit...)

And Beavis & Butthead, there was that one episode where they sat on the couch and went ehhehehe hehehehe ehehee. That was, like, cool.

That scene was awesome.

Somebody needs to have an animated Quagmire avatar where he's moving his head backwards and forwards quickly like he does in the show ... they should also put "Giggity-giggity-giggity" in their location field.

Any takers?

""The Critic" was the most underrated cartoon of the 90s. Brilliant and side-splittingly funny."

I totally agree.
This decade, however, may prove to be just as good - Clone High, Samurai Jack, Home Movies, and others are going strong. I've seen about 4 episodes now, and I'd like to submit Clone High as the funniest cartoon being made at the present.

However, I'm angling for an avatar depicting Charles Ruttheimer III, aka Upchuck, doing that little 'Rawwwr' hand gesture. That fine upstanding youth should be a role model for all of us.

Stefu, you are one uneducated heathen.

From the '90s -
Angry Beavers


Pinky & Brain


Freakazoid


Space Ghost C2C


Home Movies (first aired 1999)


The Tick


Mission Hill (first aired 1999)


Just to name a few

BTW, Invader Zim alone would make this decade worthy of "Best Cartoon Decade Ever" but we also get Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021, etc.

The Undergrads is relatively new and is getting better with each episode, but I don't believe it started in the 90s.

Also, Mac, while Zim was good (I can't remember if it was shown in Finland, but I DLed the episodes), saying that it alone means 2000s defeat 90s, the decade of (good) Simpsons, Family Guy and Daria, not to mention the others? Now that's just wrong.
