Ed, Edd, and Eddie

Best cartoon since Speed Racer, Justic League, and Fat Albert.

I beg to disagree. Ren & Stimpy was good....but Space Ghost Coast to Coast was bestest.......

Are you forgetting Beavis and Butthead

space ghost was a good one

but wiley coyote and the road runner are the best

[air of honesty]

Ren & Stimpy was way cool.

I really prefer the older stuff made for movie house distribution. Comics got it in the 50's, but animation kept it 'smart' humor that flew under the radar for years. They were allowed more freedom, and for many years less censorship, than almost any medium of expression until tv became common. That was the decline in quality of animation except in 'art' films until computers became available.

While economics will rule for all but the most visionary, many artists have learned to balance the costs with the art. Thus the willingness of modern audiences to accept lesser animation if it is original and the story lines are good. Ren & Stimpy wasn't costly, just original and bold, as Betty Boop was in it's day.

Ed, Edd & Eddy is certainly up there. As is Rocko's Modern Life,Invader Zim, Cow & Chicken, Codename: Kids Next Door, Pelswick, Lilo & Stitch and numerous other quality animations that make it to the small screen let alone the modern cinema.

Any other animation buffs lurking here?

If you have IFC on cable or dish, look for their Russian Masters pieces on odd weekend early mornings. Worth a watch.

SpongeBob is a very close second.

[air of honesty]

Second to what? In kid' eyes?

I like King of the Hill. Dale is the hack of pest control.

[swat]

sponge bob, ren and stimpy, and beavis and butthead.

[tlcartman]
