@ralphdibny I'd love to watch Rocko's Modern Life again from a grown-up perspective. Didn't they bring it back recently? I'll have to check it out.
@LieutenantFatman My memory's hazy, but I think Fox survived to the end, wheezing as he crawled through the smoking ashes of humanity while the nuclear bombs fell all around him. White Deer Park was no more than a crater, and Fox spent the final episode reminiscing about the old days with badger's skeleton. At least I think that's how it went.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@RogerRoger I forgot about that whole plotline. And what about the cub who thought he could make it in the world outside the park? He got his arse handed to him and crawled back to the perimeter fence to die in his father's arms/paws.
Spoilers by the way.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@RogerRoger I would say that Pingu almost certainly is indeed life! It is just one of those shows that's funny however old you are. I don't think I'd properly seen an episode until I was like 17/18 and I couldn't believe I had never made more of an effort to watch it as a child!
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I used to love Hong Kong phooey and top cat actually! DC did a comic of the Flintstones a few years back by a guy named Mark Russell, it's kind of presented as a satire of modern times but I really enjoyed it which I wouldn't expect of a Flintstones comic.
@Gremio108 oh yeah, I think think it was a extended episode that might serve as a pilot for a new series. Due to changes at Nick management it was buried for a long time but eventually made its way to Netflix. It was called Static Shock. I saw it and I think that's what actually inspired me to go back and rewatch the old series!
@Draco_V_Ecliptic
Oh yes, that was a brilliant story arc, definitely one of my favourites. So many great interactions with characters from other comics as well.
@LieutenantFatman And "The Secret Wars" story arc? where Dr. Doom believes he has stolen the Beyonder's power and then after establishing a peaceful kingdom he discovers he can't control his power as all his inner problems start manifesting as corporeal demons and then the Beyonder takes his power back, which he only chose to concede to Doom in the first place, revealing that it was all "a test". great and classic eh?

@RogerRoger yep same! I think I have a regular Pingu face, I just roll with it now. If pulling funny faces makes me laugh then I'm sure i make other people laugh by doing it too!
Out of those three American Dad would probably be the best I've seen. Family Guy I only really enjoyed for the first few seasons and I've never really seen any South Park to be perfectly honest @Draco_V_Ecliptic.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I would highly recommend South Park if you liked American Dad and Family Guy, it's the king of adult animation. If you do feel like exploring it let me know what you think, but be warned, the humor is definitely not for the faint-hearted, not that I am saying you are, in any way shape or form - faint-hearted.
Pre-School/Educational: I'm planning to catch up on The Lion Guard, PJ Masks, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates sometime this year.
Grade School Age: I've been binge watching W.I.T.C.H. Season 2, only have two more episodes left.
After that I need to get back to watching Craig of the Creek, Ben 10 rewatch and the reboot, Powerpuff Girls rewatch and the reboot, The Loud House, and The Casagrandes.
Adult Animation: I've been binge watching Big Mouth: Season 3, and I plan to get back to my Archer: Season 1 rewatch soon.
I used to really like Regular Show and Adventure Time. Any fans of those shows on here?
I loved both shows! I started to collect the comics/graphic novels that continue the story, but sadly the physical versions are slowly going out of print.
Still need to watch the first two Adventure Time: Distant Land specials that are on HBO Max.
Haha, Pingu was awesome! My sister is terrified of penguins, which may or may not be related to Pingu. She's never clarified.
When I was a small child I watched whatever was on BBC, ITV or Channel 4's kids programming. Inspector Gadget, Bananaman, Penny Crayon, Raggy Doll and The Raccoons. Oh and Sharky and George. There must be loads I've forgotten about. Mostly all I remember of them is the theme songs. Surely they're better than the CG crap that kids watch nowadays? My niece frequently had something on called Lady Bird, which I found insufferable, and my nephew was obsessed with Paw Patrol.
As I got slightly older I enjoyed Babar, The Animals of Farthing Wood and Albert the Fifth Musketeer. Arthur has mostly pleasant social messaging based on what I've seen - something I know has drawn the ire of conservative religious groups in America over the years - and is generally a nice, well animated programme. Plus it has a great theme song, which is important for any cartoon.
A few years ago I watched Avatar and The Legend of Korra, finding both amazing (especially Avatar). Quite exceptional quality for cartoons originally on a kids channel and the ending of Korra is so sweet.
The Simpsons hasn't been good for over 20 years, but the classic episodes are still among the very best TV of all time, so I love to cycle through seasons 1-10 reasonably frequently. It's also provided us with a reference for every occasion.
As @RogerRoger points out The Clone Wars is excellent too. I admittedly wasn't initially sold on it, but once it found its footing and become more ambitious in its storytelling it was absolutely essential viewing. It has brilliant, intelligently written and mature story arcs that greatly flesh out the lore of Star Wars and provide greater context to the events of Attack of the Clones (and later Revenge of the Sith). Anakin has a charismatic voice actor in Matt Lanter, which I found to be a big improvement on Hayden Christenden's rather flat performances. My favourite character is undoubtedly Ahsoka, but I guess I have a soft spot for Ventress and her character arc, too. One of the best bits of the show was how it gave character to the clones themselves. They went from being props in the prequel trilogy to people the audience care about, which in turn questioned the ethics of their creation and usage in the first place.
I'm glad I saw it because it gave Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's story a little additional context. And after playing that I'm rather looking forward to watching Rebels, which has big shoes to fill.
@KidBoruto I think archer is better on a binge to be honest, I watched it all up to season 9 and when season 10 came out I was a bit lost in terms of the humour. I felt like it would have been better to watch 10 directly after the first 9 seasons because I'd be more used to it!
Same with Ricky and Morty as well actually, they are hard shows to dip in and out of unlike other adult animated shows and are much better when they are binged!
@mookysam I was a big fan of the inspector gadget cartoon! I even loved the movie with Matthew Broderick as well. Sharky and George was awesome too and I semi regularly sing the theme tune even now. It's mad how these cartoons stick with you so much into adulthood
I used to have a banana man duvet cover and pillow case actually but I can't really remember the show though I think we had a video of it. We had a video tape of super Ted I believe but there was one other tape that I remember the case of but I can't remember what it was called. It wasn't mighty max (though we had a video of that too with like a 3d (sticky out-y) picture of one of the toy sets on the front) but i think it was called something max or Max something. I think it had an animated boy with a big round face in a space suit (without a helmet) and he had like a tuft of sticky out red hair on the top of his head, I think he had freckles too.
I don't think I ever watched king Babar but he always reminded me of my (now late) grandfather because of the suit he wore! How do you pronounce Babar out of interest, Bar-Bar or Bay-Bar? And if it's Bar-Bar, is it acceptable to say Bay-Bar because that's how I say it because I'm from London 😂
@nessisonett I had to look up RP! I think I speak like a posh commoner, probably with a more commoner accent though. It depends on who I'm around, I think I lean more common when I'm around posher sounder people and I mix and match when around fellow commoners. I am also constantly doing accents and funny voices though just because they make me (and hopefully other people) laugh a lot! I like doing impressions a lot too
