There is a LOT of good stop motion stuff. Pretty much anything made by Aardman Animations (the Wallace and Grommit guys) is quality, robot chicken too.
I'm the wrong age and nationality for most of these things but I'll say that I always loved Aardman's stuff.  Then there's Pixar, Simpsons, Tom & Jerry and Scooby Doo (still my favourite message from a cartoon ever) that I remember fondly.  Everything else... eh.

In general I don't care for modern cartoons at all, but there are a few awesome exceptions.  Adventure Time, Regular Show, and of course MLP are things I enjoy thoroughly.

Less recently, I used to really like Spongebob and The Fairly Oddparents, but both of them have become laughable parodies of their original selves.  It's depressing to think that I've lived through their decline to the point that I can actually reminisce on how they didn't really suck once.  :(

Older cartoons I used to love are numerous, such as Rocko's Modern Life (I'd kill to get some more of this), ReBoot (ditto), Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory (not the last season though), and probably a few others I'm forgetting.  I loved this stuff.  Older yet are things like Ducktales, Goof Troop, Chip and Dale, Tailspin and Darkwing Duck I don't recall many of the episode details of, but I remember spending countless hours watching them as a kid so they must have been great, right?

One particular old cartoon that has a special place in my heart is the old Sonic the Hedgehog.  I still think it's a bit of a tragedy that it only had two seasons.  So, so much better than stupid stuff like Sonic X.

Rocko is odd to me in that... I loved it

But I can't stand to rewatch it. It is soo insanely somber. In fact it is the most Somber cartoon I ever seen.

Your memory serves you well. All those were great (well except Rescue Rangers; that was just okay, most the time). Ducktales, Darkwing, and Tailspin all hold up pretty well today, and Goof Troop's a nice look into the late 80s/early 90s teenage culture (in fact the first movie is one of my favorite animated films).




I get flak from everyone for this, but I really liked Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. You know, the one with the infamous molestation "sonic sez." Sure it didn't have anything resembling a coherent plot, but Scratch and Grounder were awesome. Also whoever made the backgrounds deserves a medal for their surreal architecture. It was a nice light kids show, if without much depth.

No one has mentioned Daria yet? :(  If you were ever a sarcastic teenager who felt alienated from the rest of the human race, this show was for you.

Yeah but that is all but impossible to find episodes for.
They actually started selling the entire collection of Daria on DVD, it's out there somewhere.  It can be found on youtube... but I'm not sure if the forum rules allow me to post where to find them.

The other tragedy is that you can't really be a fan of that show without having to encounter it's other fans.  I mean, I get it, it was a good little show (about 2/3s of the time).  But it's been almost twenty years now, and it still has creepy fans.

You don't want to know the shit I've seen.

I started to watch this because I enjoyed Impossible Creatures. Actually pretty good.

I am ashamed... but I actually really do like Spliced.

I can't put my finger on why.

How would this be Minus Garfield?

Has anyone ever gone through the trouble of editing that many frames?

The thing is, the cartoon is actually competent. Garfield Minus Garfield works because no matter what you do to the strip, it makes it better.

The cartoon adapted the... mythology, for lack of a better word... very well. The jokes that were transcribed tended to work better, and the early storylines (like visiting Jon's family for christmas) are actually heartwarming. All this further proves no matter what you do to Garfield, it's better than the original.
