10 Cartoon Series We LOVED As Children (And Probably Still Do)!

You love cartoons, I love cartoons, everybody loves cartoons! There was a time our generation was hooked on television (before the Internet, my best friend, took over our lives) and the reason for the television addiction was solely cartoons! I remember sitting in front of my television at 4.55pm, waiting for Captain Planet to begin at 5. More often than not, the cable guy would decide to do some ‘technical work‘ exactly at that time which would lead to a blank blue screen instead of the telecast of the episode. We didn’t have YouTube then, so I would actually make an excuse to bunk school so that I could catch the repeat telecast the next day at noon. THAT’S how important cartoons were for me as a child, so here’s a list of my 10 favourite ones!

1) Powerpuff Girls

Blossom, commander and the leader.
Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter.
Buttercup, she’s the toughest fighter.
Powerpuffs save the day.

Sing with me!

Fighting crime, trying to save the world
Here they come just in time, the Powerpuff Girls
Fighting crime, trying to save the world
Here they come just in time, the Powerpuff Girls
Powerpuff!

I was always Blossom in my friend circle, who were you?

2) Johnny Bravo

Ah, beefcake Johnny! I started watching this show when I didn’t really know what half of the things he said meant. But it was too much fun watching him getting beaten up the ladies or their companions. Also, remember when MissMalini spotted the obvious, but not noticed earlier similarities between Johnny Bravo and Sid Mallya?

3) Popeye

All the spinach I have ever eaten is all because of Popeye the sailor man! Thanks for keeping me alive (despite the artery choking food I eat on a daily basis), Popeye.

4) The Flintstones

As I said before, Captain Planet is definitely a hero and I’m a very willing planeteer, you could be one too! Also, while searching for Captain Planet gifs, I found this one…

Pelvic thrusts for the win!
