I'm delighted to see WordGirl brought up so many times! I've quickly fallen in love with that show, too. It's cute, it's funny, and entertaining, even for us older folks.

Among others, I've always loved another PBS animation- Arthur. Been a fan since it's debut in '95 I think it was. I've got to mention Pepper Ann again. And Sabrina the Animated Series. Man I miss those shows. Three's also Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. I miss them too. There's also PBS's Maya and Miguel, Curious George, and Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, and Angalina Ballerina. Of other CN shows there's Chowder of course, Codename- Kids Next Door, and I enjoyed Teen Titans as well.

Man, all but Arthur, Curious George and WordGirl are hard to come by now days. :bloosad:

Camp Lazlo
The Marvelous Misadvenures of FlapJack
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
and most classic cartoons, really.

Oh yeah, I like Lazlo, too. And another PBS cartoon, Martha Speaks, which is about a dog who ate alphabet soup and "the letters lost their way. They made it to her brain so now she's got a lot to say!" Yeah, I do watch a lot of PBS. 8D

Oh my, how whimsical.

Anyway, my favourite cartoons...as a kid, I always liked Garfield and Friends (I'm old enough to remember when that was a brand spankin' new TV show), and it remains one of my favourites today. Sure, there's a fair amount of nostalgia involved in that, but I also believe that the Garfield segments do actually hold up quite well, twenty years on (the US Acres segments, or Orson's Farm, as they were know internationally, don't quite have the same appeal - a little too overtly didactic in their morals, perhaps? - but I still like them). Even better are the Garfield TV specials, most of which I have on DVD (though there are a couple which were never released in Region 2 which I probably should try to import some time). I'm not satisfied with the Garfield toons of today. I didn't really care for the live action movies, and while I do keep thinking that maybe I ought to give the newer CGI animations a chance some time, a part of me can't help but automatically resent the fact that they're done in CGI (does everything nowadays have to be?), and I fear that for as long as Lorenzo Music stays dead, the spirit of the older Garfield toons will always be beyond revival.

Keeping with the comic strip incarnations, I'm also a fan of the Peanuts cartoons (the TV specials which spanned two or three decades, and the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show series from the 80s).

Then there's Roger Rabbit. I love his cartoons (all three of 'em, unless you count the one seen at the start of the movie), along with the character of Jessica Rabbit, who always cameos. It's too bad they stopped making them, after doing so little - I believe that the last one was shown theatrically with the UK release of Toy Story back in 1996. Oh sure, there have been plans for another Roger Rabbit movie ever since the first one was such a big hit back in 1988, but...if it was ever going to happen, I think it would have done so by now, while the original was still relatively fresh on people's minds.

And I will put in some support for Pepper Ann, because I always enjoyed that cartoon. It had a very quirky and likeable sense of humour, and I always found Pepper Ann herself to be a lot more relatable than most other female protagonists - animated or otherwise - of the time (though I'd probably have to describe myself as something of a cross between Nicky and Pepper Ann).

There's probably a heck of a lot more I could mention - including all the really obvious stuff, like Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Duck Tales, the Raccoons, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and all the old Disney shorts - but I probably should get a move on with my routine in the outside world, so I'll cut it short for now.

I've just recently started watching a show that I first didn't take too much notice of back in 2004, but it's now one of my favourites.

The show is called Martin Morning (also known in French as Martin Matin). It's a French animated series about a seven-year-old boy named Martin, who wakes up every morning as something/someone completely different! He could be an alien, Sherlock Holmes, an Indian Chief, a dragon, a 19th Century navel officer, even a caveman! The show deals with whatever he becomes and the situations that he finds himself with, with his friend Gromo, and his girlfriend Roxanne.

It's a kids show, but it doesn't bother me at all, and it also has a catchy theme song too.
