Yep, those were my after school shows too as a kid. Adam may have wore pink and was goofy, but was still bad ass. And Skeletor was the buffest skeleton in the world, LOL.

Thanks,and you should try it .It took me like a couple of months to complete it,but it was pretty fun.

I was going to, but I couldn't think of 100 cartoons. By the time I got up to the 70s, I was just phoning it in with whatever cartoon I could think of just to take up space.

Instead, I decided to do a Top 100 videogames list. I got my list ready and am working on the descriptions. You're right, this is fun.

I did not include anime in this list because the only true anime I really like are these:

And I do consider them to be different categories. The same reason I didn't include claymation! Hahah. Which I love:
1. Gumby
2. Wallace and Gromit

[spider-neil]

I see not many (anyone?) has included Ultimate Spider-Man but loads of people have included Spectacular Spider-Man (imho the best incarnation of Spider-Man ever on the small screen). You have to laugh how Disney cancelled something that was brilliant with something that is at best 'serviceable'.

 

[NJCaliboi]

^i would have ranked Spectacular higher but since it only had a brief run I just couldn't...

 

[CJ]
