SpoonyBard, ooh yeah I remember those *___* :D. Because in those days I was so obsessed with Tiny Toons as a kid, I've seen all of the episodes I think :jump:. Yeah before Tiny Toons, I don't think I even knew who They Might Be Giants were XD.

I also remember that it was Tiny Toons that introduced me to Aretha Franklin in one of those music episodes.

I'm 13, so you can imagine my choices won't exactly be the same as most of yours, but anyway, here's mine.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (I still love the series. I'll have to get it on that new boxset)
Earthworm Jim (I have vague memories of me watching it. Funny stuff.)
Most everything on PBS
Animaniacs
Spongebob (I had my whole room decorated Spongebob when I was 5-7. I had the coolest room in my whole town.)
Zoids

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head. I always wanted to watch DBZ and Pokemon when I was younger, but I wasn't allowed for whatever reason. :P

Lol that's okay. You make me feel old though, lol XD. Actually you do share some of my favorites ;). I also love the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, but the older ones XD. I loved the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, but also the ones with the Archie Comics characters (Princess Sally, Bunny, Antoine, etc.).

Spongebob came out when I was a teenager, but I still loved it and still love SpongeBob ;).

Oh, I completely forgot Cardcaptors! Though the subtitled version is better in my opinion though I have seen the 4Kids English dub, it was ok story wise, edited, but ok!

And how could I forget PPG! -hugs her season 1 collection- ^__^

Earthworm Jim, from the soil he did crawl
Earthworm Jim, a supersuit did fall
Jim was just a dirt-eating chewy length of worm flesh
But all that cam to a crashing end

Earthworm Jim, he's such a groovy guy

I think ADV had the rights to Reboot.On the copy of Bubblegum Crisis,Tokyo 2040 vol.6 I have one of the ads they have is for Reboot.

Even though I didn't watch it as a kid I would have to say LAND OF THE
GIANTS is now a favorite.(Though I wonder where Betty ever found a human sized beauty parlor as her hairstyle changed for season 1 to season 2.)

They did have it. Mainframe work a deal out with A.D. Vision in 2000 and they only release the third season on DVDs. In 2005, ADV had plan to re-release these DVDs at a cheaper price, but they didn't after they cancel a few of their titles that year. Then ADV lost the publishing rights and the ReBoot DVDs are out of print and very rare to get now.

In 1995, Polygram Video released the first season of Reboot on VHS and are very hard to find a copy of them. They also had the rights to publish the second season to VHS, but they never did and the second season has never been released on VHS or DVD.

Anchor Bay Entertainment did released the fourth season on one DVD called Reboot V4.0, and went out of print in 2007. I'm not sure if you still find a copy of Season 4 or not.

Universal owns the rights to publish the first and second seasons on home video and they will have those rights until 2009. As of today, Universal has no plans of releasing the first and second season on DVD.

Whoo...where to start?

First of all, I want to say that even though this is a new thread it all seems so vaguely familiar.

Secondly, I want to thank Bakura_fan for posting the link to those awesome videos (somehow, I had a feeling that Bonkers and this other reaaaally old show I only remember a piece of the theme song from [Denver the Last Dinosaur] would've made it onto the list...).

Finally, give me some time to compile a list, peoples...

Oh, and by the way, the SatAM Sonic series (with Sally and all those other characters) was the series they had on at my school in the mornings before class when I was in kindergarten...so essentially, that's the show I saw so long ago that made me the Sonic fan I've been all these years. And wouldn't you know it, Sonic and I share the same birthday. :grin:

Okay, done ranting. For now...
