So first off, hells yes to Harvey Birdman! That was my husband and I’s you want to hang out and watch something show when we were first dating. Sealab 2021, Space Ghost, Adventure Time, Aeon Flux, and Futurama all have a special place too.

2020 is from the seventies and only 1 season. 2021 is from 2000s and ran 5 seasons.

I could rewatch Futurama endlessly. That show is always entertaining.

I think Phineas and Ferb is also fucking excellent. The creators’ sense of humor truly gets me

Check out teen titans go. They actually teach about things like equity, credit score, mortgage rates, "clean coal", pyramid schemes, civil rights, capitalism among many other topics that adults wouldn't even bother with explaining. Which I think is doing your child a disservice, as well as being insulting.

It’s been a while now but I used to watch gravity falls so often I could tell you almost all the jokes and gags in every episode.

Futurama. I have watched Rick and Morty but I feel like nothing comes close to surpassing the kind of writing and vibes Futurama has!

Bob's burger just keeps going and hasn't really lost any traction. Which is crazy to think that they surpassed the "good" simpsons some time ago.

Watching the Brak Show feels like smoking weed to me, but I'm completely sober. Except for when I'm high.

American Dad, I can never get enough of it and it's my go to comfort show. Archer and Futurama are just barely behind it. Both amazing, addicting, and comforting as well.

As in "I wish I could stop but it keeps pulling me back"?

I had that with a few kid shows, recently The Amazing World Of Gumball.

Watching Ren and Stimpy always felt like you just got done with a 3 day bender.

I'm into classics. So early loony toons, Avery, Jones, Freleng et al. I don't mind which franchise but that was a grest era of cartoons.

Single one best cartoon: What's opera Doc, which is the entire Ring des Nibelungen from Wagner summized comically in under 7 minutes.

Cartoon Network would air them all the time back when I was in my teens. Great stuff. I mean Dextres Lab, Cow&Chicken Johnny Bravo and so forth were all pretty cool, but those old toons were brilliant and could be brutal

5

Gundam Wing. Looking at it objectively it's one of the weaker Gundam series but something about it just fires up all my neurons.

5

Aeon Flux. For a weird experimental cartoon, it's very good and very weird. I could rewatch it forever.

Tigtone. It's so weird and disturbing to watch,yet hilarious. Perfect

Eh, none of them to that degree. There's really nothing that's ever been on TV that I can't be patient with, and I can't binge watch much of anything.

However, Metalocalype and The Venture Bros, I can watch more of at once than anything else, even animated media that I technically like more. Which seems weird on the surface, but the reason is that I don't have to watch every second of those two to enjoy every second of the episodes. Particularly on rewatches, though it was the case when they were new anyway.

If you want to talk about the other shows that are almost bingeable for me, but I need to be able to sustain watching, that's Samurai Jack and Primal. Both of them take animated storytelling and turn it into a form of art that transcends a single genre. Brilliant scripts, and the art styles were and are compelling in a way nothing I had seen before matched.

Part of the barrier is just attention span. Since I had to give up stimulants of any kind, including caffeine and nicotine, I'm reminded of why school could be so damn hard when I was a kid. Not the most severe expression of attention issues, but enough that after a few episodes, I need a break from being locked in fully.

The other part is just being old and not wanting to sit in one place and get stiff and sore.

Venture Bros is a damn treasure. I so hate that it got cancelled, at least we got a movie that ended it sorta.

6

Archer is my hands down favorite. Even the 3 shit seasons are still better than most shows. I just love the clever (and not-so clever) wordplay and insults in that show, many of which you can't say on the internet anymore. Which if you're of a certain age, is baffling.

Frisky dingo, helluva boss, venture bros, lower decks

She-Ra is my main comfort cartoon these days, but previous shows on rotation (that don't often get mentioned on threads like these) have included:

Axe Cop

Bee And PuppyCat

Dogs In Space

Scavengers Reign

Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts

Major Lazer

Whichever one I'm currently hyperfixating on lol. I'm really enjoying [title card] at the moment
