As a young fella, Robotech. Motherfuckers died in Robotech -- and they didn't come back.

As a grown-ass man, I really dug Gargoyles for the same reason -- and it didn't hurt that the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation provided most of the voicework.

Speaking of voicework, imho, Mark Hamill's Joker in Batman: The Animated Series is the best thing he's ever done in his career -- also, an awesome series.

Finally, in undergrad, I planned my class schedule around Animaniacs.

I forgot how good the intro to 'Chip 'N Dale rescue rangers' was.

We need schmoo.

The Shmoo, any literate person must know, was one of history's most brilliant utopian satires.

— The Baltimore Sun, 2002[6]

"Capp is at his allegorical best in the epics of the Shmoos, and later, the Kigmies", wrote comic strip historian Jerry Robinson (in The Comics: An Illustrated History of Comic Strip Art, 1974). "Shmoos are the world's most amiable creatures, supplying all man's needs. Like a fertility myth gone berserk, they reproduced so prodigiously they threatened to wreck the economy"—if not western civilization as we know it, and ultimately society itself.

Superficially, the Shmoo story concerns a cuddly creature that desires nothing more than to be a boon to humans. Although initially Capp denied or avoided discussion of any satirical intentions ("If the Shmoo fits", he proclaimed, "wear it!"),[7] he was widely seen to be stalking bigger game subtextually. The story has social, ethical, and philosophical implications that continue to invite analysis to this day.[8][9][10][11][12] During the remainder of his life, Capp was seldom interviewed without reference to the nature of the Shmoo story.

The mythic tale ends on a deliberately ironic note. Shmoos are officially declared a menace, and systematically hunted down and slaughtered—because they were deemed "bad for business". The much-copied story line was a parable that was interpreted in many different ways at the outset of the Cold War. Al Capp was even invited to go on a radio show to debate socialist Norman Thomas on the effect of the Shmoo on modern capitalism.

"After it came out both the left and the right attacked the Shmoo", according to publisher Denis Kitchen. "Communists thought he was making fun of socialism and Marxism. The right wing thought he was making fun of capitalism and the American way. Capp caught flak from both sides.[13] For him it was an apolitical morality tale about human nature... I think [the Shmoo] was one of those bursts of genius. He was a genius, there's no question about that."[14]

+1 (except them chipmunks)

What about HR Puffinstuff and Sigmund the Seamonster? Not cartoons but they were an after school ritual for me, as was Gilligans Island.

Gigglesnort Hotel?
