I REMEMBER THAT!

That just sucked! Plus that crappy American version of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.

Courage the Cowardly Dog and Rocket Power get my vote.

ANYTHING made on nick or nick jr. They used to have shows I liked (rockos modern life, Invader Zim), but then the canceled or compleately fucked up ALL their shows. Now I have lost all respect for them and want the company as a whole to die.

How can you say you hated Shirt Tales!?

How can you hate Hammertime??? THAT SHOW WAS GOLD! Listen to the theme song! It's funkified!

Worst show? Rugrats, Rocket Power, basically anything by Klasky Csupo. I'm glad to see a lot of people here hate that Kids Next Door crap, but the Oblongs suck so hard it's not even funny. The sucking isn't funny, I mean, but of course the Oblongs are less funny than the sucking action.

That Jet Cats show they used to show on CN, the old Superfriends (worst VAs evar), but I'd have to say the worst would have to be the Tick.

How can you hate The Tick? That was even better than the live-action version they aired on Fox! That show SWAT Cats was pretty lame, I'd have to agree.

My vote for worst American animation ever: Spongebob Squarepants

This show just gets too annoying too fast! It's designed for little kids, but people OUR AGE watch this bullshit. It's like all these college girls wearing Winnie the Pooh clothing and g-strings, trying to act sickeningly cute, yet slutty at the same time. How the fuck does that work?

Best American animation: it's a toss-up between X-Men and Batman: The Animated Series.

X-Men was pretty strict when it came to following the comics, and it never got too campy or stupid (except when they did a parody of the Power Rangers in an episode with Juggernaut).

Batman: The Animated Series is the best tv/movie translation of the original concept of Batman. Even Tim Burton's version of Batman followed the campy, 60's tv series (which I still love to watch for kicks, but it isn't the true rendition of Batman). But the animated series showed Batman for what he really was: a smart, insane playboy who devoted his entire life to training and fighting violent criminals. All the criminals, except the Joker, were portrayed with both good and bad intentions. They weren't the typical flaky nutcases you'd see in the '60s series, but they retained their incredibly overdone style, and made it work out!
