My favorite is Kim Possible (though Phineas & Ferb came close for completely different reasons). I think it's the mix of being both satire (especially of the spy and superhero theme, but also pop culture like when they made Paris Hilton a villain), it had continuity, and was brilliant in many ways (IMO). I understand why it appeals to males & females both, too.
I don't think I could've appreciated it as a child as I did as an adult, however, a lot of the humor would've gone over my head then for lack of context. All the same I marvel when I hear people yelling how their childhood cartoons were the best and all is crap today. I think, generally speaking, it's never been better than today in so many ways.
I didn't watch much TV as a child, but there were cartoons I liked to watch when I could, my favorites being Jem (sort of vaguely like a Hanna Montana for the 80s with cartoon absurdity thrown in :tongue: ), Tiny Toons (made me laugh), Eek the Cat (it was how absolutely positive the cat was as the most horrible things kept happening to him time and again, perhaps it reminded me a bit of myself), and Tomatoes (can't recall the exact title but I recall a woman in it always turned into a tomato if she got any salt on her which morbidly intrigued me). I couldn't stand the Tick, however, just the very thought made me gag (but growing up in Texas I'd experienced enough ticks).
