The Best Animated Tv Shows and Characters of All Time

I would have to go with the original Tom & Jerry cartoons, under the Hanna-Barbera/Fred Quimby era (roughly 1942-1957)

Ok, so the animation itself is perhaps a bit flat; but the characters themselves were rich & varied - and hugely funny

The original Tom and Jerry Cartoons were great . Those done in the 60's and beyond were crap.
 
Great topic...I watched a lot of Saturday morning cartoons growing up but the ones that stand the test of time for quality would be the Looney Tunes. The Animaniacs really had some off the wall slapstick, adult humor and great songs too. Robotech came out when I was in high school and that blew me away...they killed major characters! Since I am a big Star Wars fan I thoroughly enjoy Clone Wars and Rebels and think Tron Uprising is amazing. Flash Gordon and Battle of the Planets I had nearly forgotten about and I liked those as well...wait, was I supposed to pick just one?

Battle of the Planets, one of the first cartoons I ever saw and liked as a little girl.

It would have been a better show without the stupid Robot SevenZarkSeven which was added to fill the edited scenes.
 
Samurai Jack is one of my all time favourites, I'll agree that all the classics like Bugs, Daffy, Wile, Yosemite (I used to think this was pronounced Yos-ee-mite) and Tom/Jerry are classics for a reason. I really liked Pinky and the Brain, also Powerpuff girls is quite amusing.
We should also mention the recent animated movies, things like the Incredibles are great, I'm sure everyone loves the jungle book.
 
Roughnecks Starship Troopers Chronicles A really terrific CGI series based on Robert Heinlein's novel an the Paul Verhoeven film.
 
Dungeons and Dragons 1985 series lasted for 27 episodes. It was fun show.:)
 
Yes! D&D was awesome. And was it just me or was Eric a much better character than Hank?

It's too bad the show didn't get proper closure, They did have final episode which was never filmed.
 
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited both shows awesome. (y)
 
The Fairly Odd Parents. Timmy, His Fairy God Parents Cosmo and Wanda who grant him wish him regardless of of possible off the wall consequences, his parents who really don't understand him or anything else of that matter , Vicky the babysitter from Hell and (one of Timmy's nemesis's and his looney Science teacher (who is Timmy's other nemesis) is obsessed with trying to prove the existence of Timmy's Fairy God Parents . For some reason , i just can't get enough of this show. If I were to say this show is off the deep end , that would be putting things mildly.:D

If you missing this one, To bad, because this show priceless. :D
 
Futurama
Rick and Morty
Avatar and legend of Korra
Cities of gold
Pirates of Dark Water (on going arc but no conclusion)
Once upon a time.... Space. Mostly for the ship designs.
Danger Mouse
Animals of farthing wood
 
Well you are probably biased to what you loved and enjoyed as a kid so for me:

All animated 90's:
TNMT as mentioned upthread.
X-Men .
Spiderman.
Thundercats.
Captain Planet.
Batman.
Hurricanes.

I remember the theme songs for them all.
 
Tom and Jerry
The Roadrunner
He Man and the Masters of the Universe
Flash Gordon
TNMT
Batman
Danger mouse

Those are the few that I can recall, most mentioned already.
 
The original Max Fleicher Popeye the Sailor Cartoons were great and alot of fun and had superb animation and some wonderfully comic writing .Those done in the 40's and 50 were descent , but those done in the 60's and 70's were lousy.
