zimeta08 asked this, but I figured my answers would be best suited for my DA journal.
In no real, particular order:
1) X-Men (1990's series)
- I could go on and on about why I like this, but in all honesty? The show doesn't hold up these days. The animation is really laughable (especially in comparison to its contemporary, Batman, though in fairness, BTAS had Warner Bros. behind them) and the voice acting is atrocious. But the Phoenix Saga had a profound impact upon me as a kid and it's stuck with me since.
Never really did see the Dark Phoenix saga, though...
2) Beast Wars/Machines
- What's to be said about BW that hasn't been said already? Even if it did get weird in the last season and a half, it's still a darn fine show. I loved that there were actually stakes, the good guys lost every now and then and really, how can you forget episodes like 'Code of Hero' or 'Transmutate' (which was actually the first BW episode I ever saw. Talk about first impressions!)?
Beast Machines, for all its warts and failings, isn't that bad of a series. If you take it as a separate, non-TF series (though Animated did techno-organics justice) it's pretty good. Plus you have realize executive meddling was what caused most of the problems (from surprise, surprise... Dan Didio. And you wonder why I refuse to read DC comics!). Either way, it's sorely underrated and hopefully in time it'll get the semi-respect it deserves.
3) Veggie Tales (pre-Jonah)
- VeggieTales these days is, sadly, an example of what happens of when your mission becomes corrupted by corporate greed and money. Of all the newer episodes I've seen since the movie, all lack the heart and sincerity that the earlier episodes have. ('Duke and the Great Pie War' was cute. I like Petunia too, but too little, too late) I think it's pretty easy to see the pre/post bankruptcy and departure of Phil Vischer quite clearly. Especially in the sore lack of creativity when it comes to story ideas (seriously, what were they thinking with 'The Wizard of Ha's'? They aren't even trying any more).
Which is sad to me, because VeggieTales brought me back to religion a few years ago. =/
Either way, I love the charm and wit of the earlier episodes and the movie as well. It's sad how things have turned out, but what else can you do?
4) Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
- This cartoon reminds me of the good ol' early days of Ren and Stimpy, back when it was funny. Flapjack is so outrageously twisted, filled with 'did they really just do/say that?!?' innuendo and a delightful cast. It's not for everyone, but it's really one of the more underrated cartoons in recent years.
5) Star Wars: The Clone Wars
- Like Flapjack, this is the only cartoon, let alone TV show I watch these days. The movie itself may have been dodgy at points, but the cartoon show itself is awesome. Self-contained (save for a few three/two parters) and easily accessible to even those who are EU illiterate. Plus you can't deny that the Anakin in this series is WAY better than the one in the Prequels.
I've seen some people get their panties in a twist over it 'ruining continuity', which IMHO is a load of horsecrap. I like that it steamrolls over the EU in certain parts (Grievous especially, who IS NOT A WOOBIE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MATTHEW WOOD FOR ESTABLISHING NON-WOOBIE GRIEVOUS!) and it does its own thing. I'm glad it's not bending to the will of the "canon fascists" and their precious EU. Go 'Clone Wars'!
Honorable Mentions: Reboot, Batman: TAS, Wolverine and the X-Men, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko, Angry Beavers, Sailor Moon, Lucky Star, Soul Eater, Doug, Galaxy Express 999 and Masters of the Universe 200x.
I really enjoy your art and fics! You're truly creative, and I enjoy looking at your work.
Mind if I watch you?

Yeah, I'm not sure why YouChew doesn't have open registration most of the time.
(I actually spend most of my time in the art forum there. I take a long time to make a YouTube Poop, actually!)
