of course I do!
I'd rather watch just about any animation before watching a movie with live or real-life characters!

I was a HUGE DragonBall series junkie! Yah sure, it could have excluded some of the moral lessons, but what show does not try to ingrain their ethics in to you? (I love the way Family Guy bashes on this.)

Unfortunately, the channel (TeleToon) that played the series did not do so in order, let alone finish it, which is I believe is KINDA important.
The only one I did not get to watch from start to finish was GT!

Dragon Ball - the beginning, so it's a must.
Dragon BallZ - the best 'action', story and animation!
Dragon Ball GT - unable to find on tape, in English (subtitled or dubbed), but it reminded me more of the first.

The best part, DBZ had the same time slot of the 'Friends' invasion (three channels @ same time), so it helped me escape from, and wipe my mind clean of th@ show!

I more or less love all the Japanese animation (excludes the hardcore adult stuff, hentai), especially when it is of the shaolin or martial arts flavour!
Mech. stuff is okay, when the stories are good.

Of course, my list also includes:
- American Dad. I do so love Roger!
- Family Guy. Quagmire(sp?), Stewie and Brian taught me SO much!

I do so love kicking back, munching on a huge bag of zoomers and treating my eyeballs to 8-hours of anime (oh, the tears)!

my current fave is metalocolypse on adult swim. and speaking of adult swim, did you know you can watch their entire lineup free online with only a single commercial at the beginning?

I really got into Reign The Conqueror when it was on Adult Swim.

Current, I would say Drawn Together. Can I have a mention for Wonder Showzen? it's got animation and live action. Imagine Sesame Street on some really bad acid.

As far as classic cartoons, definitely Warner Bros., Scooby Doo, Rocky & Bullwinkle and the original Spiderman (which often gave me nightmares as a kid). And Patti, yes I remember Gulliver's Travels. It was part of the Banana Splits Show along with the adventures of Tom and Huck, where they were real life but existed on a cartoon world, kind of like Rodger Rabbit on much, much creepier.

As a kid - MunChiChis, Gummy Bears, Thundercats, Speed Buggy, WB Wacky Race, Wuzzles, Simpsons

Now - Family Guy, Simpsons

Really? I remember being so amused by that cartoon, Especially the way Pete just grabbed a needle and thread and made that costume. To me, making coatunmes with a single needle and thread was his greatest super power.

I think the 60's Spiderman had the coolest theme song in history too.

Don't think I've ever seen that one.

Yeah, and this version is even cooler!!!

I never thought about the fact that he made his own costume with a needle and thread. All that piping??? OMG!

There was actually only one episode that gave me nightmares, the rest of the series was just cool. The freaky one had something to do with spidey going into another dimension. It was really trippy, obviously fueled by all the acid that was going around in the 60's. I don't remember much other than he was climbing a set of stairs that went up into nothing and a giant eye staring down at him. The backgrounds were all watercolors in dark purples, reds and blues and made it even more creepy.

Geeze, I'd love to have that on DVD now. LOL!
