Jonny Quest (both the OG version and real adventures) were among my favorite shows. They still do hold up fairly well even today.

Along with Swat Kats, it was the very first Cartoon Network original series.

Swat Kats was actually a based show and died too soon :eng99:
e: at least Centurions still got several seasons before it too had to be canceled

All the cartoons you enjoyed as a child are poo poo. They're all poo poo. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself 'this one is legit good' it's not. It's awful. All of them.

Eek the Cat was great, one of the few cartoons that held its quality for a bit when they ran out of original ideas and pivoted to movie parodies. Still declined toward the end but what show doesn't?

I fondly remember the following:

Batman the Animated Series
Swat Katz
X-Men
Power Rangers
Johnny Quest
Doug
G-Force
Rugrats
2 Stupid Dogs
Johnny Bravo

I know that most of them are terrible. But I don’t really care.

I just learned that Steve Urkel voiced Sonic the Hedgehog in the 90s cartoon and I don't know what is real anymore.

I am a 90s kid, I am supposed to know very important facts like this. The world is supposed to tell me these things and it failed its fundamental and essential responsibility to do so.

UPN was the bottom of the barrel.

The 1994 Mega Man cartoon was extremely awesome and I won't hear otherwise. :colbert:

It also got pretty good ratings for it's timeslot, so of course Capcom pulled the plug on it after 26 episodes because Capcom.

Johnny Bravo would definitely have a huge social media following nowadays. A really successful youtube channel, podcast and instagram with workout tips and generally harmful life advice for vulnerable young men.

I see this take a lot and I wonder if I'm misremembering Johnny Bravo? I recall Johnny's toxic masculinity being the constant source of his problems and the butt of most the jokes. Like, the core premise of the show is this Chad can't get a girlfriend because women want nothing to do with a dumb, self-absorbed rear end in a top hat. His only friends are a little girl who's way more competent than him, a nerd who's got a crush on him, and his mom, who he lives with. All the prospective hotties turned out to be hyper-competent, talented women with their own interests and standards that Johnny never met since his only virtue was having vanity muscles. Children could kick his rear end, and often did.

Johnny Bravo was way ahead of its time, if anything.
