Spider-Man
(1967–1970)
Spider-Man...The Original Amazing Animated Series!
13 July 2005
This show was great with just about everything. The story follows very well to the comic books that started the web-slinger off. Okay, there are a few differences, like how the Green Goblin is more of a bank robber, or the whole new character/lacking character thing, and how they had common things happen like Pluto aliens and mole-men from what I hear, but this IS a DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, therefore those aren't mistakes or whatever. The animation even I wouldn't say is the BEST example, like with repeating scenes and limitations, but it was good for it's time. Don't listen to the posters who said it's even worse than the ones made at the same time, it's actually much more comfortable to watch than most of the shows that are on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, I'd rather watch this Spider-Man series than Pokemon, to be honest. Especially since Pokemon has been obliterated of potential since it multiplied into all sorts of insidious variations, just like Power Rangers. Good thing Garfield, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers have known where the fine line is and usually avoid crossing it.
The theme song is the original and great, just like with Ninja Turtles. The animation is quite reminiscent to ones like Scooby Doo and Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. I only saw four episodes of this, since I manage to get them as the bonus episodes on the '94 series videos/DVDs. The Origin of Spider-Man, King Pinned, The Triumph of Dr. Octopus, and Magic Malice were all done very well though. Quite interesting that one of the producers was Ralph Bakshi, who also did the animated Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movies (aside from the live action ones by Peter Jackson).
Bottom Line: All in all, this is a series worth searching for. There's also a '67 series, which looks good put has quite a price on your wallet, but if you have the money, you shouldn't regret it!

The Tick
(1994–1997)
The Nigh-Invunerable Tick!
13 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
We have Superman, Batman, Spider-man, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fantatstic Four, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk on the famous television animated series, and now we have The Tick. This is definitely one of the funniest shows around, back when cartoons actually had quality to them. Although I doubt I saw this show on Fox Kids (now called Fox Box and 4KidsTV, all because of the hostile takeover of 4KidsEntertaiment, unfortunately), I have seen three episodes- Heroes (a parody of the show Cops), The Tick vs. Dinosaur Neil, The Tick vs. Mr. Mental- on Jetix, which has luckily re-aired it along with Spider-Man, X-Men, and recently Fantastic Four.
The idea of each episode is simple by fruitful. The Tick, the "blue-bug" human warrior goes out on patrol to subdue evildoers (and we know that The Tick wouldn't be evil, cause eating kittens is WRONG, yeah!). He would also have his sidekick Arthur the Moth, who could actually fly (or more likely glide) while Tick would crash through the top of buildings to find where evil has it's insidious location. There would be The Deadly Bulb (aka Pig-Leg), Dinosaur Neil (who's somewhat like Dr. Curt "Lizard" Conners, if you know what I mean), Mr. Mental (known for specialized mind control), Bread Master, Chairface Chippendale, an impostor Tick, Mole-Men, 'El Seed, even Arthur's bank account!
This show has a lot of spoofs of famous comic characters like Batman, X-Men, S.H.I.E.L.D., etc. In addition to Tick and Arthur, there's also American Maid (Wonder Woman), Die Flatermeus (Batman), Sea Urchin, and many others to fight evil. The voices are just about watermark. It's strange that Townsend Coleman, the voice of Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is the voice of Tick, as he sounds much more like Beau Weaver or Neil Ross. Rob Paulsen, voice of Raphael, does the second voice of Arthur (who was originally voiced by Mickey Dolenz), and also others like Crusading Chameleon, and Cam Clarke, who does Leonardo, performs Die Flatermeus and sound very much the same. That's just about it except for Barry Gordon who plays Donatello. The guest voices look promising, like Mark Hamill, Dan Castelleneta, Maurice LaMaurche, Tony Jay, and Jim Cummings.
All in all, this is definitely worth watching if you can find it on Jetix or Toon Disney. And remember- Spoon!

Space Ghost
(1966–1968)
Great Galaxy...and Great Cartoon without the weird things!
14 April 2005
This series was (and still is) brilliant! I only saw one episode, but I've already gotten excellent for this one. We have yet another cartoon based on a famous comic-book hero(es), like with Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles. Not to mention that Gary Owens, a famous person to voice superheroes and narrators (even on Garfield and Friends!) voices Space Ghost himself. Rather elusive to find on Cartoon Network, but it's worth finding! This really seems good on tastes of mine along with Garfield, TMNT/TMHT, Pink Panther, and Inspector Gadget.
Spaaaaaace Ghooooooost! 9.9999999999999999 out of 10 stars (since I'm hoping to look for more episodes).
Really amazing cartoon series!

Spider-Man: The Animated Series
(1994–1998)
Great adaptation for the famous Spider-man!
14 April 2005
Spiderman has many cartoons throughout the years, and this is among the best ones made. I've also like this along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and perhaps also X-Men once I've seen more of it, and many other action shows with some good amounts of comedy. Luckily this is on the Family Channel for the weekends and even on Toon Disney during the Jetix block, which will later have Fantastic Four and The Tick.
So if you can find this series of the world's most famous wall-crawler/web-slinger, go ahead and watch it! Hopefully this will satisfy any Spiderman fan or anyone else of the other audiences. Catch it on Jetix!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
(1987–1996)
The first of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles OS!
14 April 2005
This is really Season 1 of the tubular TMNT series. And let me tell you, it's wild! You have everything you'd want, all from the first cartoon show of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's comic book, although it's been made rather differently, but it's still highly worth it!
In the Heroes in a Halfshell part, there's Turtle Tracks that tells the beginnings of the Turtles and their allies/adversaries and Enter the Shredder as the Turtles begin their conflict with their arch-nemesis- Oroku Saki aka The Shredder from their sensei Hamato Yoshi aka Master Splinter.
In the Hot Rodding Teenagers part, there's A Thing About Rats where the Turtles begin to fight off for justice as Baxter Stockman (un?)cannily works for Shredder by creating an army of Mousers for turtle/rat hunting and Hot Roddin' Teenagers from Dimension X where the Turtles encounter more friends and more foes.
Finally, there's Shreddered and Splintered (also called The Shredder is Splintered) where the Turtles wager out a final(?) battle with an alien brain named Krang who finally wears an android body to take over the world while Splinter takes on the Shredder once more. It may seem like the end after everything's done and one side is victorious, but wait for the next seasons to come up.
Recommended with Turtle Power...see if you can find this great series!!!!

Inspector Gadget
(1983–2023)
Go Go Gadget Cartoon Show!
10 April 2005
This was perhaps amongst the best cartoons yet! This was a great cartoon series that I first saw on Nickelodeon (which was also the first time I saw the Garfield and Friends series, another of my favorites, both better than all those nowadays in the Dark Ages of cultural society, along with the rest of many other networks that air cartoons still).
We have the bumbling Inspector Gadget (whom I'm reminded of when I was introduced to Inspector Clouseou on the Pink Panther movies, yet another one of my favorites) who is assigned a message from boss Chief Quimby, always ending with "This message will self-destruct" and Gadget ends up tossing it away on Quimby, who ends up getting exploded in the face. Then he's off on the case of a secret agency known as MAD run by Dr. Claw (who's almost always invisible, mostly seeing an arm) and Mad Cat. Often he'd travel on the GadgetMobile, which can convert from a van to a police car. But the inspector would almost always slip up on the job, and it was usually up to Penny, Gadget's niece, and Brain, their dog, to help him out so he could accomplish the mission, with Claw going off in the distance claiming "I'll be back next time, Gadget...Next time!"
And who could forget the theme song? It's really catchy! I never have recalled CPL Capeman (who I hear is an even clumsier version of Gadget). I've noticed, however, that he's voiced by Townsend Coleman, the same genius who gave the voice of Michelangelo the Turtle on Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles, finally another one of my favorite toons.
I'd really recommend if you can find this awesome series!

Sonic X
(2003–2006)
Sonic the Hedgehog rides again!
9 April 2005
Warning: Spoilers
With the fifth Sonic cartoon series, we now have him finally at last here. When Sonic and friends are transported from a chaos control on Mobius from Dr. Robotnik (known as Dr. Eggman in this series). They wind up on Earth as Sonic the Hedgehog goes of escaping from police forces. He ends up in a rich kid's pool and is rescued (due to his lack of ability to swim). Sonic's adversary, Dr. Ivo Eggman Robotnik, creates all sorts of E-00 robots to take on Sonic from a slot machine during Season 1. You'll also notice that many ones such as Amy, Big, E-102 Gamma, Chaos, Rouge, Shadow, Cream, Emerl/ML, and the Chaotix Team from Knuckles Chaotix for the Sega 32x from the new series of games on Dreamcast, Gamecube, and GBA are here. There are also sagas on Season 2 of Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Battle to be precise.
When I first came across this series when it was first about to debut, I was pretty excited since we would finally be getting a new Sonic toon. But I felt rather disappointed that it's anime, since they tend to overpopulate the networks and media, and that isn't good. Anime isn't really the best animation out there since it's overused, as I still prefer the good IL' American animation (and I don't just mean Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Peanuts), since they have none of any weird special effects. I really do miss the golden age of cartoons such as Garfield, Pink Panther, Inspector Gadget, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the early Sonic cartoons (the only one I remember seeing was Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog instead of Sonic SATAM or Sonic Underground, which was a pretty good series).
I was glad to see Back to the Future when it aired on Fox SATAM the summer before this premiered in America, and the only cartoon I really like on it nowadays (as well as most of everywhere else) are the new series of the Ninja Turtles. So I too tend to watch this whenever I wait for the Turtles to come on (which is coming to a close). But the animation is only fairly decent, what with all the usages of CGI and anime effects, which put it downward like most other anime. It was a disgrace that they had to do all the animation on an ordinary computer like the one you and I are using right now. And the voices?...I can never really get hold of myself to actually listen to them (the same goes with Kirby RBAY, which I also used to watch until it took a break). Just don't ask why.
I also felt downed that Dr. Robotnik had to be renamed Dr. Eggman since recently (even if that's how it is in Japan). I felt that Robotnik was better since it sounded cooler and eviler. And the way they act are off as well-Sonic's overly different, Tails was made too cute than he should be like (ever heard of the expression "beauty is only skin deep"?), and Knuckles is a suspicious somebody. Also, why do most of the character look peculiar? Or why do the characters act so weird when they try to be funny? It really makes no sense at all.
So for you Sonic fans, I suppose I'd recommend Sonic X, but be warned that it's anime, and I don't know if I should even consider it honorable. But it is something noteworthy at the least, but not one of my personal favorites. Although it would be interesting if it ever came up on Cartoon Network like Ninja Turtles did. That's all I have to say for Sonic X. Sayonara!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
(2003–2010)
Great series, but it's likely to jump the shark.
25 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This was a really good series, until it became a "Let's try to raise the violence in this series so we can compete with anime" show. The first season was excellent, the second season got rather screwy, and the third season became quite boring with a few good episodes or ones with deep thinking in them. The problems were that it tends to look slightly like anime at times (see episodes 7, 38, 44, and 52 to know what I mean), and they had an increased amount of violence, which made the series worse, and there's rumor that there's a 4th season...which will only be a rip-off of other teen action cartoon shows like Totally Spies, Teen Titans, Kim Possible, etc.
Also, in the original comics, I've heard that all the turtles had red bandannas. But in the OS, they made them different colors to tell them apart easier (now only Raph has red; Leo has blue, Don has purple/violet, and Mikey has orange).
What would I recommend? See if you can mainly watch Season 1 and a few episodes from Season 2 and Season 3. If there is a Season 4, try at best to keep at bay from it to avoid seeing where the series will take a nosedive. You'll do yourself and the TMNT fan-base a humongous favor.
Still, this is a very good series, too good to pass up. See if you can catch it on the FoxSatAm, where tomorrow from this comment will have the Season Finale with the final episode.
All in all, I like this one about as much as the Original Series.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
(1987–1996)
Another Excellent Cartoon-Cowabunga!
25 February 2005
This cartoon was not only great, it became a phenomenon! I mean, what more is there to ask? You got the fearless leader Leonardo, the graduating brain-dude Donatello, the somewhat-lazy and sarcastic Raphael, and the hilarious surfer Michealangelo. There were all sorts of great, scary villains in here, mainly Shredder and Krang. I don't remember too many episodes, but this was certainly fascinating! All in all, this was among the best. Also, be careful with some of the new cartoon fans' comments of TMNT (2003). While it's more based on the comics (unlike this one), it seems a tad too violent. So that's why I still prefer the OS (Original Series).
Along with Garfield, this was probably the best toon Ever!!!! (four marks for four turtles- Leo, Don, Raph, and Mikey). It has some of the best animation, usually great plots, most humorous jokes, good voice acting, and many more So if you're ever able to come across it, go ahead and buy it if you can (rent it if you want to see what it's like and see if you like those episodes-or if it's your only way of access to it).
Now it's gone up to 3 Muppet Movies (1990, 1991, and 1993); a live-action series (1997); a small, unofficial anime series (1996); and a comic-based series (2003).
Highly recommended...with Turtle Power!!!

Remembered This Series Greatly-Soon to be Revived
24 February 2005
This is definitely a great cartoon, or at least from what I remember. This series, which I remember watching once on video tape and getting it, is the only one I really saw (aside from Sonic X, which is unfortunately anime) and why I'm talking here (this might also be how I first learned of Sonic the Hedgehog). It's pretty odd that people said that this cartoon was horrible, since only 4 or 5 of the total comments talked of dislikes to this. The animation, which I saw a little, really isn't that bad. Okay so it's not really up to par like most other American cartoons, but it's still really not "cheesy," as most people like to say (I wonder what that means as an adjective). Another thing is that some say that it seems to be a Looney Toons spoof, but to me, it looks more like a mixture of Garfield/Pink Panther/Care Bears/Spy vs. Spy (by Antonio Prohias) theme.
While not as serious as the Saturday version (Sonic the Hedgehog "SATAM") or even the one from France/America (Sonic Underground), it still seems to be even better than something violent, vulgar, and tasteless nowadays (and they say anime has better animation). This appears to be a comic series with a whole bunch of laughs like in Garfield and Pink Panther episodes. There's even safety segments called "Sonic Says," similar to the "Garfield Quickies" with some excellent advice on how to be safe and good.
While I've really only seen this series, I'd recommend any Sonic animation title you can find (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, or AoStH; SATAM Sonic, and Sonic Underground.) But I'm doubtful with Sonic "OVA/movie" as well as Sonic X, since their animes, which are cartoons to watch out for, mind you. But if you can find this series especially go ahead and get it. Even if the story lines and animation aren't up to par, it still has side-splitting humor that's just as good as the said cartoons above!

The Pink Panther Show
(1969–1970)
Way Better Than Most Cartoons Nowadays, Especially Anime
24 February 2005
The Pink Panther is such a great cartoon. You may know him for one special feature: silence. I thought it was brilliant that they made this cartoon almost never speak in this series (there are just two exceptions). Like the creators said, many more cartoons talked than moved, but the Pink Panther did nothing but move. That's what makes this cartoon so unique. Another good reason is that without talking, it's kind of peaceful in one way: no talking, no swearing.
This is definitely a great show for anyone, both kids and adults, to watch, since it isn't one of those crude cartoons made nowadays, and is supposedly in a European-American style, which as some of the best types of animation that I know, not Japanese that's infused with violence and vulgarity and insidious artwork. But this is different, being more peaceful and even more funny than what with most of what you see nowadays, like Spongebob and Ed, Edd, Eddy (yes definitely).
I did watch some of the videos and a DVD with excellent episodes (although some were a bit disappointing, preferably if someone had the last laugh against the Pink Panther, but most of the others are still very well done in writing and artwork). Still, if you can find it anywhere in good condition, I highest recommend it!

Garfield and Friends
(1988–1995)
The Best Cartoon of the Time from Jim Davis
23 February 2005
I definitely remember this cartoon as one of the bests out there along with the Pink Panther. I mean, who could forget those episodes? There was one where Garfield, Jon, and Odie go out to get a car from the high-bargaining, high-convincing salesman Mr. Swindler (It's getting tougher and tougher to make an honest dollar). There was also the one where Garfield wakes up on the wrong cartoon with a He-man/Transformers atmosphere (See them to find out what Gafield does). Otherwise, Garfield is just another world's laziest cat.
There's also the U.S. Acres (Orson's Farm) segments, based on another strip by Jim Davis preferably for young children (which explains why it aims toward a younger audience). They were great as well, and I liked all the characters (especially Bo and Roy). It was yet another masterpiece in there. And to conclude, there would be a Garfield Quickie based on the comic strips Jim Davis made. I also heard of hidden, or unsyndicated, episodes that never seemed to air on television (but they might appear on the videos/DVDs) All in all, this is most definitely the best cartoon show ever made! Unlike all that violent and vulgar cartoons they're crowding up with nowadays, especially anime, or Japanese animation shows
Still this is my favorite one of cartoons shows in all!!! See if you can find it!
