Shows you wish were still around

[EazyIN]

Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. Granted it still comes on but RARELY. My only reason for tuning in on FAILtoon netwrok

[Guest Scorpion03]

I really don't find TV intersting anymore but I will name 3 that I enjoyed which Fortunetly some of you reminded me of.

Blood+

Inuyahsa

And I'll admit Megas XLR was pretty funny at times...

If u liked inuyasha, did u not check out ranma 1/2. It was written by the same person.

[Redeemer]

FOUND IT! Thanks to Redeemer, I was able to find the show, it was called, "Blazing Dragons"

Haha, I thought Wiki would be the first place to go! And for you Reboot fans out there, they're making a movie so keep your eyes on the Mainframe data base website. I hope someone else hasn't said that already.

REBOOT! How could I forget that show? Even have the PS1 game, and when I used to play UT2004 alot, got the evil mummy looking guy with the spikes on his forehead, and called him WebSurferBob, because he reminded me of that part of the series. (Love that Web Surfer Bob was based a bit off PREDATOR)

I DLed the complete series of Reboot. It hasn't aged well. Not at all. Megabyte is still cool though.

[TheRedFox8]

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog needs some more love.

I haven't understood what you mean by that once. To me, if something's good, it's good, if it's bad, it's bad. Reboot was awesome, and while looking at the graphics now it seems cheesy looking, it's still awesome to me.

Dragonball Z is the same way, I see someone get vaporized by a Kamehameha or a Gallic Gun, while it may look cheesy, it still doesn't fail to be bad-ass.

Things change, jokes date, standards rise. For example. Megaman 1 had great controls for it's day, but now it's still and restrictive when compared to games like contra. Thundercats still has good stories, but GIJoe is just crazy, and street sharks has no pacing. As a kid we were dumb, and kids of today prefer Ben 10 because, despite me hating it, it is better made then the 80s and 90s shows.

EDIT: Let's take the Street Sharks example. Back in the 90s, that was bad arse. Those characters were cool as. These days, they are goofy as what's cool has changed. reboot was all about computers and games, but both have moved on, as well as the technical side of animation, that the early episodes are just painful to watch. Enzo is like 90s kid from Linkara.

While yes, from a technical standpoint the quality of the animation on the early episodes of Reboot make my trained eyes bleed, as far as plot and characters go I found the even sometimes outdated notions of things to be endearing none the less - I actually went and watched all of it not terribly long ago. You could tell the guys making this show were totally into what they were doing, regardless of the restraints they had to work under. I still like it (with the aforementioned caveat), and I'm more than willing to admit when something doesn't stand the test of time. I don't think that Reboot is one of those things that is unequivocally bad in retrospect. It had its flaws, but you can especially tell in the TV movies that they were making improvement on the technical side. Just because technical abilities and tastes have changed, that doesn't serve to take away from its appeal completely. Otherwise there would be no items of literature or anything else that we would call "classic".

[MeestaRyan]

I really don't watch much tv, but Invader Zim was freakin awesome.  Then they had to cancel it from Nickelodeon because it was too dark for children. Oh how I miss Gir. -_-

[Eagle Kammback]

There are many shows I wish were still on

Megabyte was voiced by the late Tony Jay, who also voices The Elder God from Legacy of Kain. I don't know how they're doing Megabyte for the movie, or if he's even in it, but I'm looking forward to it. Alphnumeric! Argh... Although the series got a little too cheesy for me at times.

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

I miss a lot of the old Nickelodeon shows that aired back when their studios were located in Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida before the move to Burbank, California.

Good times.

[rebel_gunman]

Road Rovers  :D

[Fureox]

Who's Line is it Anyway?

I sure miss that show :)

[Dublinthefox]

Who's Line is it Anyway?

[Fureox]

Its still on the air on ABC Family.

Well yes but they are all re-runs, aren't they?

[Kid_Cortet]

I have not heard of Tenchi Muyo(sp)...that show was great when i was a kid...not sure if there is still a series

[Vy'drach]

There's Muyo, Universe, Tenchi in Tokyo, Galaxy Police, and a spin-off that I see on my Funimation channel called "Sasami Magical Girl's Club."

I was fortunate and bought the Muyo DVD's from Cartoonnetwork.com, because that show was pure awesome.

It's by no means a complete turd. Just gone from "Bestest show evar!" to "Yeah, that's ok." I know it gets better later on too. By contrast, Gargoyles is still fantastic and they are both from the same year.

I had completely forgotten about this show until I found the opening on youtube. While it's not as pure awesome as Swat Kats, it had it's moments (and the characters were just funnier (Blitz is awesome with his pretty-boy attitude and Arnold Schwarzenegger voice).

Shame they never released Road Rovers on DVD, or VHS for that matter.

Sorry for the double post, but I was watching some Toonami promotions for animes, and came across one of my favourite ones, ever. Gundam Wing.

That show was made of so much win.

Malcom in the Middle

What. I remember that! I remember that psycho dog, and the German one who thinks he's perfect. Erm... Why is Hulk Hogan the bad guy??

[fox1235]

Hey me and my sister were on that Netflicks for Wii disc and on the family and kides section and there was all these old cartoons that we liked when were kides that hadn't been on tv for along time.

Maybe you'll find some that you liked.

EDIT: Feeling very nostaloic from watching the first season of Hey Arnold, one of my favorite cartoons growing up.
