To help prove this contention, here, for the delectation of the ilx audience, I shall transcribe from memory all the lyrics to the theme for 'Felix the Cat' cartoons:
Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat!Whenever he gets in a fixHe reaches into his bag of tricks.
Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat!You'll laugh so hard your sides will ache,Your heart will go pit-a-pat,Watching Felix the Cat, the wonderful cat!---------------
ftr, Felix the Cat was horribly unfunny, but I watched it anyway, because any cartoon was a treat.

I'm wondering if we should crosspost this to Aeon Flux Top Level, maybe even get Peter Chung to vote.

Whoops, sorry, I see Hilda and Steven Universe were already nommed.Steven Universe will probably be my #1, even though it hasn't even ended yet. It's just been so amazing to watch something so imaginative, life-affirming and beautifully queer on mainstream television. It's my favourite TV series of this decade, cartoon or non-cartoon.
― Tuomas, Friday, 26 July 2019 19:43 (four years ago) link
And Avatar the Last Airbender was probably my favourite series, cartoon or non-cartoon, of the previous decade. The last 15 years or so have been great for US cartoons with progressive themes.

I worked on one of the masterpieces of shit — it was called Turbo Teen, about a guy who turned into a car. Not just any car, it was a big muscle car. And the people who wrote that show were such jackasses that ... I remember there was one character who was dancing at a dance in one scene, and this guy called out, “Get it down, Jack!” — the writer evidently couldn't quite remember if it was “Get it on” or “Get down,” and then to just give this ‘80s show an authentic '50s touch, “Jack!” It was just so sad! [Laughter.] Somebody brought in an anti-drug pamphlet that showed on the cover a horribly deformed baby whose head looked like a wad of silly putty that had been mangled, and John hung it up on the door and had it saying, "Oh no, I'm turning into Turbo Teen!" That summed it up nicely.

I could be completely wrong about this, but it feels like 00s shows (kid's ones, at least) are being largely overlooked here. I guess they came out at a time when most posters were too old for them, and/or their kids too young/not born yet?

Okay true and I know this will go nowhere, but for a brief moment in the mid '80s, I was definitely going to grow up to be Jana of the Jungle. So...Jana of the Jungle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jana_of_the_Jungle
Also apparently I was so into the cartoon The New Shmoo that for the next decade this one bread recipe my mom made, which involved rolling out a blobby shape, was known in my family as "Shmoo bread."
