It is the best cartoon of all time. Misspent youth my hole, Silky. You know, you're getting as bad as Conor, trying to start arguments. :P

And Dangermouse was....?

And Captain Planet.  And the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.  In fact, most of the 80's cartoons were superior to it, but especially Dangermouse.  Did Transformers have David Jason doing voice-over?  No! :P

This makes crap look good. It must be something like crap-squared.

[old person rant]
Everything mentioned so far pales in comparison to the glory of any cartoon featuring Wile E. Coyote.

Don't give me that shite.  Roadrunner may have been good, but better than Dangermouse?!  Come off it!
 
I didn't say Road Runner. I said Wile E. Coyote, who also appeared (as Ralph Wolf) in the Wolf and Sheepdog cartoons, plus a handful of appearances with Bugs. (One of which provided the name for my band, Supergenius.)

Furthermore, the Road Runner / Coyote cartoons were among the most innovative animation ever produced in America for their time. Watch them in sequence (i.e. order of production) and you'll see (for example) how the backgrounds evolved from mostly-realistic desert scenes to something bordering on abstract art. Also consider how much more difficult it is to give a full personality to a character who never speaks, and how much more interesting it is when the main interest of the audience is vested in the ostensible villain.

You want something to help you turn your brain off for a while? Watch any animation made for TV.
You want art? Watch something directed by Chuck Jones.

Look, if I wanted art, I'd go to the Louvre.  If I wanted an art film, I'd go to Cannes.  I just want a FRICKIN' NOSTALGIC CARTOON!  Seriously.
 
Seriously, as good as looney tunes are they are mostly from the 40's, just like the best tom and Jerry or Disney shorts. We all grew up with them, but we also grew up with TMNT, Jem, NKOTB and other crap that we wouldn't have watched were we older, but they are nice to remember. Like I wished they still aired that cartoon where they had the Phantom (you know the dude dressed in purple that would summon the strengh of 10 tigers?) team up with a magician dude and other "superheros"... for some reason I can't remember the title, but I have several images burned in my mind.
