Mummies Alive

Reboot

Ronin Warriors

Beetlejuice

(Not truly a favorite list exactly, but definitely big impact, I think forgotten, and not already seen listed.)

Favorite of all time. Exosquad. Mech armor, space warfare, synthetic humans, space pirates, insurgency, spies, politics, slavery and freedom from it, reproductive rights, clones and resurrection- yes this was all in a kid's cartoon and it was awesome. That was two seasons. Sadly they canceled it before season 3 where they were hinting at ALIENS.

The Mister T cartoon. I can still hear the intro song in my head 44 years later.

Mister T (TV Series)

Captain Future. Chevalier du Zodiaque (Saint Seiya), Inspector Gadget, maybe M.A.S.K.? Doctor Snuggles? :D

I hate these questions, i might as well just write my exact birthday on public internet. :)

Not favorite overall but among the forgotten, I'd say Exosquad

Danger Mouse is the only thing I can remember that might qualify. Everything else that was my "favorite" is still quite well known and popular even today.

Then again, there are so many one season cartoons from the 90s that were hella good and largely unknown even when they were running. Street Sharks, Mighty Max, Mummies Alive, King Arthur's Knights of the Roundtable, Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber, etc...

Fraggle Rock

Care Bears

Rainbow Brite

The Secret Show - this old British cartoon about secret agents that would go on exciting missions and such! I swear that oversimplified corporate art style took inspiration from The Secret Show!

gargoyles of couse,

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel show. It feels like the spiritual precursor to Dexter's Lab, which is also a favorite but imo much less obscure.

Robotech. I don’t remember much anymore, but I loved the different modes their robots can transform. Oh and YuYu Hakusho. The predecessor of green-clothed protagonists in anime.

Tabaluga. It never really caught on outside of Germany but I definitely remember watching a decent cartoon series of it in the late 90's.

[–] HetareKing@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

I knew it as Dommel, but the English version appears to be called Wowser.
