Forgotten cartoons you'd like to see again

[Dumbledork]

I'm probably not the only one who loved some cartoons which got aired once or twice at the most and never again afterwards (in Europe; no idea about the US) and who'd love to see them again or buy them on DVD.

Here are a few I'd really like to see again.

- Kidd Video: Interesting story and great pop songs.

- Sport Billy:

- Pacman: the story was stupid but I'd like to see it again if only because I'm a fan of the videogame

- Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids: I really liked this one and I really think today's kids could learn a lot from Fat Albert and his friends. Funny thing is that I've only ever seen the French version in which all the Bill Cosby segments had been replaced with Carlos segments. Carlos was French entertainer.

Early to mid 90's X-Men, Iron Man, and Fantastic Four cartoons. One or all of them may be on DVD, I don't know. All of them were fun to watch.

Batman: The Animated Series. This one I know is on DVD, but I haven't looked for it, god only knows why.

Batman Beyond. That was really good too.

Ended with a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger!

Had great lulz with this one.

... thats all i have for now...

Oh, and X-Men: Evolution. I know there were a few dvds released here in the states, but I don't believe they ever released the whole series.

I was lucky to get the Batman: Animated, Superman: Animated, Batman Beyond and Justice League all at the same time, at a discount. Love the DCAU. Haven't watched them in awhile... should do that soon...

How is Max Steel not on this list yet?

 

[Meinos Kaen]

Xaiolin Showdown

These.

And Count Duckula.

 

[Mick]

Darkwing Duck.

I managed to grab all the DCAU from batman all the way up to JLU.

Pirates of the Dark Water is also one I use to remember watching a bunch of.

I liked the Tick, Animaniacs and Freakazoid.

Liked some of Tiny Toons and the Sonic show that had Sally Acorn as opposed to the goofy one with the monkey robot.

Also liked a little bit of Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin, and Duck Tales. Though I don't know how I'd feel about them today.

Also liked Rocko's Modern Life.

There's also this other show I vaguely remember that had Dinosaurs as main characters that could also transform into stronger versions of themselves or some weird shit like that.

Edit: Oh damn! I think I vaguely remember seeing Count Duckula once or twice.

Dexter's Lab.. Man that was a fun show...

Also, the Mightly Ducks.. How can you NOT love hockey playing ducks from space that fight crime?

As controversial as it may seem, so long as they approached it with the right mindset and attitude, I think I'd like to see a reboot on "Captain N: The Game Master".

Of course, with HEAVY, HEAVY, revamps. Perhaps something closer to "Reboot", but more video game oriented.

In addition to normal enemies, you could have powerful non-standard enemies, such as the horde of "LAAAAAAAG" (the name can't be said normally, has to be shouted, and they look a lot like Zerglings), the ever-obnoxious "Bugaloo" and his crew (would've picked 'Buggy', but I invision Bugaloo as a pirate or outlaw, which would get them in trouble with One Piece fans), and the all mighty "Disconnect" (who only torments online games).

Of course, the entire thing would have a lot of advertisement involved, BUT that would actually be the easiest part. All you'd have to do is provide the basic look of the characters and their personalities and let the game companies who want to be involved produce their own content for it with the only caveat being that the group can't bring any items back with them when they leave (i.e. no swords/guns, armor, gold, potions, etc. though standard trophies would be allowed).

Thus, a company that produced a game that isn't selling well, but didn't necessarily get bad reviews, could make another attempt to bring attention back to the game.

Plus, it has the potential to be be intriguing to see just WHERE the heroes would end up, as the game company would want them to be in exciting or important events to show off the game itself.

Pirates of the Dark Water

This was a good show; too bad it only lasted - what, one season, maybe two? I also want to see it finished.

Tick
Animaniacs
Freakazoid

The Tick was some funny shit.

Freakazoid was one of those shows where it wasn't always about the 'Hero fights Villain'. It had some funny, funny moments - remember that 'Moment of Tranquility' bit (or whatever it was called)?

Always liked the Animaniacs. Especially the musical bits.

Tiny Toons

See the Animaniacs bit above.

Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin, and Duck Tales

I liked the Rescue Rangers when it was on; not really sure how I'd react to it today - maybe humor with a sense of notaglia?

Duck Tales was a great show; still like it.

Rocko's Modern Life

LOVED, LOVED IT. Fucken epicly funny stuff. Wish it was released uncut.

Dexter's Lab

The original series, not that abomination that was the 'new' season. Bad artstyle, bad storylines, etc. The stuff that the creator was involved with rocked.

 

[elof]

Pandamonium(sp?)
Centurions
Sprial Zone

 

[cgobyd]

There was a new season of Dexters Lab?

 

[Jorlem]

Most of what I'd say has already been said, but I'd like to add Samurai Jack to the list. I'd like to see a proper ending to that show.

2X QFFT.

@cgobyd: There was 2 whole seasons of stuff that had no input from the creator. Different artstyle, new school (Dexter went to college), new actor for Dextor.

From Wikipedia:

Due to the show's popularity with the network's younger viewers, the series re-entered production in 2001.[16] The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals since Genndy Tartakovsky was busy working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars.

This second line of episodes featured noticeably different visual designs, minor inconsistencies with the original episodes both in storyline and in visuals, different sound effects, and Christine Cavanaugh, the original voice for Dexter was replaced with Candi Milo for most of these episodes (as Cavanaugh had retired from voice acting in 2001 for personal reasons, though she still voiced Dexter for the first few episodes of Season 3). The creators did not attempt to recreate the look and atmosphere of the originals. This second series was not quite as well received as the first, and these new episodes were canceled in their second season.

Too bad Aku's voice actor died from cancer.

Yeah...

Well, adding another cartoon to the list...

 

[Jorlem]

Well, adding another cartoon to the list...

I used to love that show (Though it sometimes bugs me that no one else seems to remember that it was a book series first.) Remember the episode where the bus was in for repairs, and the mechanic's other important customer was implied to be an alien? Good times.

Wait.. there are actually people who don't know it was a book series first?

And oddly enough.. I didn't know about the cartoon for a long while... It was never on when I was watching TV until I was in 5th grade. I did love playing the pc games though.

 

[Leonite]

To those saying "Samurai Jack", according to TV trope, there is a movie thats managed to pull itself out of development hell recently, and is being made, speculation is that it's going to be the finale.

Warner Bros. bought Hanna-Barbera's back catalouge, so Pirates of Dark Water is available on their website.
