Top 10 Most Popular ’90s Cartoons
Published on July 19, 2008 - 183 Comments
While I am not a huge fan of cartoons - adult or otherwise, I have seen most of the ones on this list and do have many fond memories of watching cartoons as a child. I hope this list will be a nice trip down memory lane for many of our readers!
Production Period: 1991-2004
Channel: Nickelodeon
Following the life of a group of toddlers, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica, and later Dill this is the longest running series on Nickelodeon with 14 years, and has earned a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. It has spawned 2 different series, All Grown Up, and Angelica and Susie’s Pre-School Daze; and 3 movies, The Rugrats Movies, Rugrats in Paris, and Rugrats Go Wild.
Production Period: 1990-1992
Channel: Cartoon Network
Based in Acme Acres, the show takes place at Acme Looniversity a school where young cartoon characters (most of which resemble a classic Warner toon) are taught how to become funny by a faculty of the popular Loony Toones characters. The show lasted 98 episodes and created 2 spin-offs, The Plucky Duck Show and Pink, Elmyra, and the Brain.
Production Period: 1993-1997
Channel: MTV
First airing as a short film featured on Liquid Television, Beavis and Butt-head are a pair of teenagers who spend their days with sarcastic conversations, bad ideas, and (brutally) critiquing music videos. Beavis and Butt-head lasted 7 seasons and put out 1 movie. It is considered a classic piece of 90’s youth culture and the MTV Generation.
Production Period: 1993-1995
Channel: Kids WB
Starring the Warner siblings, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, the Animaniacs was a variety show style cartoon usually consisting of anywhere from 1 to 3 segments. Though the most notable are the Warner siblings, there was a wide variety of characters with each pair or set acting in its own plot.
Due to a large audience of adults, making up over 20% of the viewers, The Animaniacs led to one of the first Internet-based fandom cultures. The show lasted 99 episodes, put out the movie Wakko’s Big Wish, and spawned another successful cartoon Pinky and the Brain.
Production Period: 1991-1996, later 2003
Channel: Nickelodeon, later Spike TV
This series follows the duo of the neurotic asthma hound Chihuahua Ren, and simple minded Manx cat Stimpy as they get caught in nonsensical adventures. The show’s violence and scatological humor, along with slow production times, led original creator John Kricfalusi to be fired in 1992. Games Animation took over in 1993 with a “lighter, gut funny type of show” instead of “truly frightening” episodes. In 2003 Kricfalusi re-launched the series as Rend and Stimpy “Adult Party Cartoon” on Spike-TV. This new version explored more adult themes, including a more explicitly homosexual relationship between the two main characters, and produced only 3 of 9 promised episodes before being removed.
Production Period: 1993-1995
Channel: Cartoon Network
Set in Megakat City, Chance “T-Bone” Furlong and Jake “Razor” Clawson are members of a paramilitary law enforcement agency called the Enforcers, that due to objecting orders have been forced to guard a city salvage yard. Hiding their identity and using homemade vehicles so they don’t get in trouble with the Enforcers, they become vigilantes and protect the city. There were 2 seasons, airing 25 episodes. It was eventually cancelled with 3 unfinished episodes, due to its violence.
Production Period: 1991-1994, later 1996-1999
Channel: Nickelodeon, later ABC
“Doug” follows the journal entries of Doug Funnie, who writes about his daily misadventures with his dog Porkchop, best friend Skeeter, and the other characters from the town of Bluffington. After 4 seasons and 52 episodes on Nickelodeon, he show was bought in 1996 by Disney, and aired on ABC. Releasing it as “The Brand Spanking New! Doug”, and later “Disney’s Doug”, the show many noticeable changes, and was far less popular with old audiences. Disney produced 3 seasons, and 64 episodes. A movie was also spawned by Disney, entitled “Dougs First Movie”.
Production Period: 1996-2004
Channel: Nickelodeon
Arnold is a fourth-grader who lives with his Grandma and Granddad in a boarding house in the fiction city of Hillwood (which highly resembles New York). Arnold is often caught up in a predicament, or helping a school mate with a personal problem. Originally a comic started in 1986, a claymation episode got it picked up by Nickelodeon, where it was formed into cel-animation and had 5 seasons and 100 episodes. In 2003 they released a movie named “Hey Arnold!: The Movie”
Production Period: 1992-1997
Channel: Fox Kids
Staring the original early 90’s comic cast drawn my Jim Lee, the cartoons follows the same story line as the comics. Along with loosely reproducing famous story lines and plots of the original series, it also created episodes that dealt openly with mature social issues, though mostly in subtext. This is one of the longest lasting shows on Fox Kids running 5 seasons and 76 episodes, second only to Batman, and is also one of Americas most viewed and highest rated morning programs in history.
Production Period: 1993-1996
Channel: Nickelodeon
Following the wallaby Rocko, and his surreal life in the city of O-Town, the cartoon was laced with double entendres, sexual innuendo, and written by a guy who had little to no experience with cartoons or kids. The shows success mostly came from the fact that it was aimed at kids and their parents, and every story was “funny” and “strong”. The animation was very unique, with no parallel lines, hand painted backgrounds, odd colors, and oddly shaped anthropomorphic animal characters. The original writer and creator Joe Murray could no longer continue the constant work and handed the show off to someone else after the 3rd season, but still reviewed every episode. Even though Murray encouraged the show to continue, they stopped after the 4th season, with 52 episodes behind it.

Wow, its been FOREVER since I saw some of these. I actually have every episode of Ren and Stimpy though. Loved taht show even had a farting Ren doll (I think it was Ren havent seen that thing in ages).
2. mr_evilmonkey - July 19th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Wheres the Batman animated series?
3. e4zy - July 19th, 2008 at 7:28 am
MAKE A BATMAN THEMED LIST ALREADY!
4. EricB - July 19th, 2008 at 7:32 am
no Ninja Turtles? dunno if they started in the 80’s or not though….but they were my hero’s when I was a kid in the early 90’s
And I would have thrown the Simpsons in there too. I know they started at the end of the 80’s but had their heyday in the early-mid 90’s. Some of the funniest and most creative humor ever put into cartoon form.
Good list though and yeah, it was a trip down memory lane. Those were just a few notable omissions i thought up.
5. Clemen - July 19th, 2008 at 7:33 am
I was surprised at no.1, but otherwise a fun list. Brought back some memories.
6. purdnasty - July 19th, 2008 at 7:33 am
the rugrats should probably be towards the bottom, it had several big hit movies made to go along with the tv show and is one of the few out of that last that still runs today
7. alex - July 19th, 2008 at 7:34 am
i freakin’ love doug
8. Xavier - July 19th, 2008 at 7:40 am
Holy moly, I love all these shows! Especially Doug, Hey Arnold, and Rocko’s Modern Life!!! Such great memories of afterschool viewings. Great list!
Also, I was thinking the same thing, where’s Batman: The Animated Series? Or the Powerpuff Girls (which is late 90’s, I know, but stil 90’s)? Or the Genddy Tartakovsky classic Dexter’s Lab?
9. jesse - July 19th, 2008 at 8:02 am
make a batman list!
10. JOE BLACKK - July 19th, 2008 at 8:08 am
WOW!! I was just thinking 2 days ago about some of these shows and how I wish they would come back….especially Doug, Hey Arnold, and Rocko’s. This could easily be a list of Joe Blackk’s favorite cartoons of his life time LOL.AS i was going down the list, I could see myself at a different age with each mentioned show….The only cartoon nowadays that can hold a candle to these classic shows, in my opinion, and are on the same caliber as far as kid’s cartoons, is spongebob Squarepants. GOD I REALLY MISS THE 90’s. let’s get some damn re-runs!!! AWESOME AWESOME LIST!!
P.S this is probably the first time I’ve really felt old. Thanks alot!
11. jake ryder - July 19th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Uh, no Simpson’s?
12. WarningDontReadThis - July 19th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I grew up on cartoons (mostly Hanna Barbera cartoons) and I learnt my English from them so cartoons mean a lot to me. I really liked Arnold, Doug and Rugrats.
I hated Beavis and Butthead though.
13. massoluk - July 19th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Where the hell is Batman the Animated Series? You know… The EMMY winning series?
14. brad - July 19th, 2008 at 8:25 am
I remember coming home from school to watch Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Tail Spin & Darkwing Duck…That was a free 2 hour babysitter for my mom.
15. Mom424 - July 19th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Excellent List Tri-gun.
I was well into adulthood when these particular cartoons aired. And for that I am forever grateful. Much of the humour would have been wasted on a kid. I’d elbow mine out of the way to watch Ren and Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life (good pick for #1 by the way), Doug and Animaniacs.
But wait! Where is The Tick? I loved the big blue idiot and his cohorts. Very adult themes. Well almost perfect Trigun
(Never heard of SWAT cats, switch it up for The Tick and the list would be perfect)
16. Dan - July 19th, 2008 at 8:35 am
jake ryder is right where are the simpsons?
17. Omar - July 19th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Batman,
Gargoyles,
Darkwing Duck
?????????
Swat Kats? I never even HEARD of that.
18. Angryfeet - July 19th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Just wanted to mention that the Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon DVD has all nine episodes on it, for anyone who is interested in seeing them. One of the funniest DVD’s I’ve ever bought, but certainly not for the kids.
19. john s - July 19th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Fantastic list, brings back great memories.
20. Crimanon - July 19th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Now this is a list that brings back memories!!! “You Stupid Fat Sow!” Ah Ren, were it not for you I would not know Violence. I will always remember your teachings Sensei Hoek.
Now I’m in the mood for some powdered toast.
They don’t make the toons like they used to. Now we have Sponge Bob and the Forth(?) generation TMNT… Hey!!!! Where are the turtles!!!!!
21. Eddy - July 19th, 2008 at 8:45 am
wow! I never thought I would see any mention of swat kats again! it’s been a loooong time since I saw it last time
by the way, why do’nt do a “special mention” about the Spiderman cartoon of 1994?
22. Mr Scumbag - July 19th, 2008 at 9:12 am
I was getting more and more anxious further down the list without mentions of “Rocko’s modern life”.
I am suitably satisfied. Although I would personally change the order around myself.
23. Meg - July 19th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Oh yeah, the Ninja Turtles!
24. DiscHuker - July 19th, 2008 at 9:14 am
swat kats?
no simpsons?
gonna have to dismiss this list as personal favorites of the author and not actual popular cartoons of the 90’s.
25. SecretObsidian - July 19th, 2008 at 9:18 am
I had completely forgotten about Doug even though I watched it everyday after school!
I agree, Ninja Turtles deserves a mention.
Great list.
26. romerozombie - July 19th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Awesome list!! I grew up with all these, though you forgot Dexter’s Lab! :O
27. CelestialAngel - July 19th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Dexter’s Lab was my favourite. XD
28. Andrey - July 19th, 2008 at 9:33 am
OMG Swat kats.Damn havent seen that or heard that intro for 10 years straight.
29. romerozombie - July 19th, 2008 at 9:33 am
I kinda had a thing for DeeDee.
…
…..
…….
30. NestorV - July 19th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Great list, I loved Rocko, R&S, Animaniacs, and the X-Men.
I would have put some of the Cartoon Networks cartoons on this list, like Dexter’s Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and Samurai Jack.
31. Becca - July 19th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Oh man, I remember all of these. Rugrats was amazing, I watched that everyday of my life until it was taken off the air.=D
32. Lucy - July 19th, 2008 at 9:44 am
they really should make a 90’s rerun channel
33. infallibleangel - July 19th, 2008 at 9:58 am
There’s a place to watch these online.
If you go to www.alluc.org they have tons of episodes from almost every cartoon you can imagine.
34. Xavier - July 19th, 2008 at 10:05 am
NestorV: Agreed, although Samurai Jack premiered in 2001, so it wouldn’t qualify. It remains one of the greatest animated anythings.
35. CelestialAngel - July 19th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Samurai Jack was one of the most entertaining cartoons I’ve ever seen.
36. Ken - July 19th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’ve seen almost all these shows. I was an adult in the 90s, so I may remember them differently than most of you here. My personal favorites from those listed are Beavis and Butthead, Ren and Stimpy and to a lesser extent Rugrats, Rocko’s Modern Life and Hey Arnold.
For some reason I watched and enjoyed several episodes of Cat-Dog (that was the 90s wasn’t it ?)
However, my personal favorites are not even listed here. The Simpsons and Southpark. The list just doesn’t seem legit, in my eyes, if those 2 shows are not included. Of course I was watching as an adult. I have a feeling a lot of parents would not have allowed their kids to watch Southpark, since, of course, its not for kids.
37. Kris - July 19th, 2008 at 10:39 am
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
38. mollyflo123 - July 19th, 2008 at 10:49 am
wow i was born in 1993 but i still have very fond memories of watching reruns of all these shows!
great list!
39. Kreachure - July 19th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Great list. I loved every single one of these back in the day!!!
BUT I’m impressed by your lack of Cartoon Network classics, like Dexter’s Lab and Powerpuff Girls.
I also agree with the (MANY) people who feel Batman: TAS is missing from the list.
But we can’t forget about Superman: TAS either!
And what about some Disney classics like DuckTales and Darkwing Duck???
The following, however, AREN’T 90’s cartoons, even though they were pretty popular during that time (so that makes it ambiguous):
-Ninja Turtles (Started in 1987)
-The Simpsons (shorts on the Tracey Ullman show started 1987, primetime premiere 1989)
40. lost 654 - July 19th, 2008 at 10:52 am
pokemon!!! really that was freaking craze back then
41. Trigun472 - July 19th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Btw the list was ordered by the IMDB rating, not the most accurate maybe, but it was something.I obviously couldn’t have watched every cartoon and most of these were ones I was familiar with. I did however take suggestions on the forums, so if they weren’t mentioned by anyone there they couldn’t have been that great. Maybe check out the forums for some other upcoming lists if you want to be more involved btw. Simpsons I debated about if it should be added or not, and ended up leaving it off because it was technically in the 80s and it’s popular enough still today that it really doesn’t even need remembering. Ninja Turtles were in the 80s and so were Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers.
If I left off your favorites as a kid, i’m sorry it’s a list of 10 and I couldn’t get everything.
42. Trigun472 - July 19th, 2008 at 10:58 am
@Kreachure
I watched all the Cartoon Network cartoons too, IMDB had very low scores for them though, and they all started late in the 90s and ran for most of 2000 so I didn’t bother adding those types. I did think about them though.
43. Trigun472 - July 19th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I hate the lack of an edit button.
@Lost654
Forgot to mention, I’m only going with shows that aren’t running anymore (excluding reruns).
44. toolnut - July 19th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Superb list, imo. Glad you listened to what the forum gang had to say
All the Nick cartoons got my mind wandering thinking about all the others that you left off: Real Monsters, CatDog, etc. Great piece of nostalgia for me, trigun. Good work!
45. nellerbear - July 19th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Heck yeah with number one! I love Rocko’s Modern Life, my sisters and I always quote that show to each other. A classic. (Here’s Mr. Bighead, and here’s the bear!)
46. Cedestra - July 19th, 2008 at 11:06 am
ed4z and jesse: No, YOU make a batman list, you waste of oxygen.
I have seen every one of these and I was a huge fan of Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life (Don’t say ‘I’ say ‘we’! We…we? You said ‘wee-wee’, say it again! Weeeeee-weeeee.) and X-men. When I was younger, Ren & Stimpy and Beavis & Butthead were hilarious! Then I grew up. I never got into SWAT kats. Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures were also great.
I remember Earthworm Jim, the Tick, and Freakzoid. Loved those ones, too, but they didn’t last very long, maybe 3 seasons.
Nice list, Trigun472- don’t let the haters get you down.
47. generation y - July 19th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I remember vividly watching the Rugrats every time it was on (I still can’t believe I watched a show of infants when I was 10, 11, 12 years old), Hey Arnold was sweet even though I still have not seen the movie; I would watch Doug and his secret love affair with Patty Mayonnaise, and his best friend Skeeter; I have every X-Men: The Animated Series on DVD; and Animaniacs (those are the facts!). I’m 18 and I feel old!
48. Galileo908 - July 19th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Good list, especially at the #1.
You stopped me at SWAT Kats. Sure, it was good, but on a list of “The 10 Most Popular 90’s Cartoons?” Especially outranking Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, and Ren & Stimpy?!
The fact that some posters had to ask what it was had to give a clue.
I agree that you left off: The Tick, Batman: The Animated Series, Frekazoid, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, SOUTH PARK!! Heck, you could’ve even had Pinky & The Brain in its own right.
I’d say The Simpsons, even if the first episode premiered in 1989, with the rest airing since then. The same argument could be said of Futurama & Family Guy, whose first seasons were in 1999, but continued to be popular in the 2000s.
49. gr8flddfn - July 19th, 2008 at 11:25 am
ummm what about spawn?
50. goof_ball - July 19th, 2008 at 11:42 am
I watched all of them except 2 and 5. Rugrats was better before they had Dill and the “All Grown Up” stuff. Ren and Stimpy was one of my favorite shows. I loved the rude humor. Doug was better on nickelodeon than ABC. Rockos Modern Life IS one of my favorite shows. More cartoons I would include in this list are The Angry Beavers, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and maybe The Simpsons.
51. goof_ball - July 19th, 2008 at 11:44 am
these cartoons are what made my childhood!
52. goof_ball - July 19th, 2008 at 11:51 am
SH*T! how could i forget inveder zim?! pretty much all of the old nickelodeon shows were the best
53. courtney - July 19th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
DARIA!! What happened to Daria??!!
54. Charmie - July 19th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Omfg! Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy and Doug. I totally forgot about them until I read this. It’s been so long since I watched them!
55. ae51 - July 19th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
ReBoot should at least get an honorable mention.
56. jane lane - July 19th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
WHERE IS DARIA?!
57. DUDE - July 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
THE SIMPSONS!
58. Vera Lynn - July 19th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Space Ghost and Dexter were my faves.
Ooh…What does this button do?
59. Riya B. - July 19th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
This list brings back good old memories from back when I was a little kid. I haven’t seen most of these shows in forever…
But you forgot the Batman Series.
60. mr_evilmonkey - July 19th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Talespin
61. erin - July 19th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
80s cartoons were so much better
62. Adia - July 19th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I had a dream about Rugrats just a few nights ago. It was weird since I haven’t seen it in years. But it made me kind of nostalgic and I was glad to see some of my absolute favorite shows in the entire world on here.
63. ringtailroxy - July 19th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
ouch. although I am familiar with many of these cartoons, the ones that where shown exclusively on cable televison where only revealed to me when i went to my friend’s houses’ that had cable!
i used to jog-wait, no…RUN…no… I believed I FLEW home to watch the Batman series… full of innuendoes, amazing villans, fables, sexy antagonists,(I loved “Harley”, the Jokers’ main squeeze) and a beautiful film noir style of animation that complimented my interest in the X-Files.
Unfortunately, I have begun to watch the re-runs of Scully & Mulder’s investigations, and life has taught me so much since I was a teen, that I can’t believe I was ever so enthralled (niave?) with this show when I was younger.
*sigh*
growing older sucks the newness out of life.
rtr
64. Simons - July 19th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
You should have done like a top 20, had some of the shows you left out, and moved beavis and butthead down and dropped in a few not mentioned. BTW Hello - DARKWING DUCK! FTW
65. Island_Boggs - July 19th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
ROCKO!!!! Rocko definately deserves numero uno!
66. sdggrant - July 19th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
HOLY SHIT! This is one list that I agree with 100%!!! God they just don’t make em’ like they used to.
67. kowzilla - July 19th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Wow.
I think about cartoons far more than the average person. And I have to admit I have not thought about Swat Kats in YEARS.
I also have to agree, this could easily be a Top Twenty.
68. Cedestra - July 19th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
53. goof_ball- Invader Zim aired after 2000. Nice try, though- SQUEALLY FOOL!!!
69. Csimmons - July 19th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
wow, that was a great trip down memory lane, goooooood times….
70. Sharki - July 19th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
1: Change the title to “non-prime time 90’s cartoons”.
2: Why the hell isn’t Batman: The Animated Series on this list? That show ran for three seasons, won multiple awards, put Fox Kids on the map and was a landmark for American animation that paved the way for more mature cartoons.
3: Disney’s Doug was better than the Nickelodeon version. The Disney version was smarter, funnier, deeper and more mature. I’ve never really understood why most people consider the Nick version superior. But then it’s really not fair to compare the two because they were aimed at different age groups.
71. caittie - July 19th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
That’s a great list!! Takes my back to after school cartoons!I loved Rocko’s Modern Life!
72. antlyon - July 19th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I’ve watched all of these except #5.
My kids rule the TV in our house.
I liked Hey Arnold and Rugrats best, didn’t care a whole lot for Rocco. Watched a lot of Catdog too.
73. jackit - July 19th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I absolutely adored Hey! Arnold.
74. MiSaNtHrOpE - July 19th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I wholly agree with the choice for #1. In the 90s, Nickelodeon had the best cartoons, with a lineup consisting of Ren & Stimpy, Angry Beavers (I liked it!), Doug, Rugrats, AHHH!!! Real Monsters!!! (EPIC!) and of course, Rocko. However, things turned sour with the debut of CatDog, which was total crap. Then they piled more cement into the downhill shopping cart as they came out with Fairly Oddparents and more live-action shows, though I greatly miss Are You Afraid of the Dark? The 90s was a great decade for TV. Just ask MTV LOL!!!
75. Fox - July 19th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Best episode of Ren and stimpy was ‘Stimpy’s fan club’ one of the ‘truly frightening’ ones.
76. travis - July 19th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
i would like to agree with this list, but i cant. swat cats was not popular, ever. thats probably another reason it didnt last 3 seasons. and, hello, THE SIMPSONS? that has to be on this list. batman was more popular than the xmen series too.
i wish i could have added trigun to this list, as its my favorite anime, but it wasnt ever on television in the 90s. kudos on the name though
77. Squibby - July 19th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Just for the record, TMNT was ’80s and Simpson started in the ’70s on the Tracy Ulman Show. This is a ’90s list only. So where’s Gargoyles? Surely it ranked higher than Rugrats. It still has a cult-like following, fourteen years after it started.
78. montynet - July 19th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
“Simpson started in the ’70s on the Tracy Ulman Show”
are you sure? 99.999999999% sure it was the 80s
79. astraya - July 19th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Simpsons first broadcast on Ullman in 1987. Their own show in 1989. Surely they count as “1990s” for spanning (and defining) that decade.
80. crs - July 19th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
What about “Garfield and friends”? That’s MY numero uno.
I guess it was produced and shown around the 90’s in USA. Dunno how popular it was then, though.
I’m from 3rd world country, didn’t ever see most of those in the list. So I can’t really judge…
BTW, one more point for TMNT from me.
But those superheroes (batman, spiderman, crapman, whatever) do suck, IMHO. Make children go bananas
81. crs - July 19th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Oops! TMNT is 80’s? Pardon, I didn’t read carefully…
82. Nejikun - July 19th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
There’s a few that I’d add. You could have almost made this a top twenty. The Tick, Earthworm Jim, Daria, Batman TAS. was think that Rocko would be on there, but didn’t expect it to take number one. Glad it did tho. Never heard of SWAT Kats.
83. bluesharpie - July 19th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Wheres Dragon Ball Z??!?!?!?!?
84. Joey - July 19th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Good list… But I honestly think that you just forgot about Batman the Animated Series…. and maybe about the Ninja Turtles, too. But SPECIALLY Batman.
85. Nicolelodeon - July 19th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Are you kidding me? Dragon Ball Z?
that show was a joke.
I think the list is great actually.
86. Nicolelodeon - July 19th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
And another thing- Disney’s Doug sucked. Nickelodeon’s version was 2345345634563x better. I used to watch it every night at 7. It was my favorite thing everr.
87. massoluk - July 19th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I mean seriously… This is his description from X-men entries:
This is one of the longest lasting shows on Fox Kids running 5 seasons and 76 episodes, second only to Batman, and is also one of Americas most viewed and highest rated morning programs in history
… OK, Batman has more episodes, probably more viewed and higher rated, not to mention critically acclaimed. But you have X-Men and not Batman TAS?
88. Taranis - July 19th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
This all bring back memories. Rocko was the best, I agree. They need to make DVD’s if they haven’t already.
89. BHazed - July 19th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Simpsons doesnt technically count seeing as how it is from the 80’s on, great list thought
90. SaturnIon - July 19th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
My favorite cartoon was Daria……
It should have made the list, but other than that, pretty good.
91. Rocketiza - July 19th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
So the definition of popular basically is just what cartoons the author liked in the 90s?
92. BooRadley - July 19th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
While I would have included The Simpson’s as #1 on the list, it still was fun to remember these moldy oldies. Animaniacs was brilliant, simply brilliant… Pinky and the Brain, Rocko’s Modern Life,such fun! Although it’s not a favorite of mine, I was surprised not to see Spongebob Squarepants - most of my friends still watch that one whenever they can. I’ll show my age and say that my favorite cartoon growing up was Rocky and Bullwinkle. That was another one for kids on one level and adults on another. Cartoons RULE!!!
93. Mongo - July 19th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Swat Kats.
94. Mongo - July 19th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
That’s strange, I typed more than that. >_>
Anywho, I loved Swat Kats and Rugrats growing up. xD
95. Natalie - July 19th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I was born in 1991 and absolutely loved Rugrats but hated Rocko’s Modern Life… go figure.
My favourite cartoon of the 90s, though, was The Animals of Farthing Wood. =D Anyone else familiar with it?
96. crimson - July 19th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Only missing CAPTAIN PLANET!!!!
97. Fox - July 19th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Pfft the simpsons have been around too long, its obnoxious to always include them on greatest cartoon lists.
98. nikki - July 19th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
oh, i remember all of those. good times. i also remember johnny bravo, pinky and the brain, dexter’s lab, and when did scooby doo start airing? was it in the 90’s?
99. AlphabetFish - July 19th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, and Animaniacs were my favorites. I hadn’t even remembered Rocko until I saw it at number 1–excellent, thank you! There are some episodes on YouTube (or were) and it’s one of the only cartoons from that era that is still funny to me now, when I’m in my early 20s. The others, coincidentally, are those on the list above. Classics!
100. MPW - July 19th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Great list, and good memories too. I also enjoyed Eek the Cat among others. Nice job Trigun.
101. Kreachure - July 19th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
nikki: Um, not exactly… Scooby Doo first aired in 1969!
102. Kreachure - July 19th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
MPW: I LOVED Eek the Cat! But I’m sure that one wasn’t as popular…
103. ringtailroxy - July 19th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
thought of another one-wasn’t Redwall first shown on PBS sometime in 1999? i remember watching “Sagwa-the Chinese Siamese Cat” while flipping thru the channels, but Redwall’s animation and storyline was so engaging!
rtr
104. Vera Lynn - July 19th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I’m the only one who loked Space Ghost? (59)
BooRadley (93) I LOVED Bullwinkle!! Is it on dvd? I would get it in a heartbeat. I also liked “To Kill a Mockingbird” One of the great classics.
105. Vera Lynn - July 19th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
“liked”
106. MaS - July 19th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
How is South Park not on the list? I thought it would have been number one, and its not even on the list? Other then that, good list.
107. MPW - July 19th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Life with Louie! anyone? Alright!!
108. HexenBexen - July 19th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Hooray for Beavis & Butt-Head and Animaniacs!!!
109. Vera Lynn - July 19th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
School House Rock, anyone? They (channel 7 ABC) used to run it between cartoons on Saturday mornings. It was the best!! I have them all on dvd. They were better than the cartoons.
110. YeOldeCanonFodder - July 19th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
jake ryder- The Simpsons started in the 80’s.
MaS- I’m a little shocked by that too… South Park was created in the 90’s but it’s popularity peaked in the 00’s…
Maybe they didn’t want to include shows that are still on air? I dunno :/
111. handyman - July 19th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
DRAGON BALL. & DRAGON BALL Z. Hands down!! lol. wheres pokemon awww mannn
112. Mike - July 19th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Great list!! It’s very sad however that nearly all of these cartoons are rarely aired anymore and now have BEEN REPLACED WITH TOTAL CRAP!!!!!!! But these were all great cartoons. But where are the Pokemans, or any of the classic Cartoon Cartoons shown on the CTN.
113. ohrmets - July 19th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Bravo for Rocko’s Modern Life! I think that was the only cartoon that my mom would actually sit down and watch with me. I think she enjoyed it as much as I did!
And yes, Nickelodeon’s Doug was infinitely superior to the ABC version. I remember my friends and I being excited for its return and then instantly disappointed. He even wore a different outfit! Lame.
114. caboose - July 19th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
The Xmen was cartoon was great and so was Rockos Modern life, I still see it sometimes on latenight Nickelodian. I would love to Xmen again.
115. arkz - July 20th, 2008 at 12:07 am
how can you forget freakaziod
116. Lazy Dave - July 20th, 2008 at 1:10 am
I would bitch about this list….but whats the point.
117. shitty kitty - July 20th, 2008 at 1:26 am
rocko’s modern life was the shit. i still
118. stormy617 - July 20th, 2008 at 2:44 am
I loved Hey! Arnold, Rugrats, Animaniacs, and Tiny Toons. They were all great. I only watched Rocco occasionally and it was a good show also.
Vera Lynn: I am not sure on the exact time frame but School House Rock has been around since at least the 70’s. I was born in the late 60’s and I remember seeing School House Rock during the Saturday Morning cartoons while I was growing up. Sigh, we were so deprived back then we only had cartoons on Saturdays. No all cartoons all the time channels for us back then LOL
119. Scar - July 20th, 2008 at 5:35 am
I’m a 90’s kid, I miss all of those shows!
120. Spore - July 20th, 2008 at 5:46 am
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned KABLAAM. WHAT A SHOW. Featuring the Naked Flesh with the power to be ……naked and Meltman with the power to ……..mmmmmmelt
121. Bubina - July 20th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Finally someone else who appreciates the Swat Kats
That was my favourite cartoon for a long long time 
I disliked pretty much everything on Nickelodeon, so I’d have to say Swat Kats is the only cartoon on here I’d have to agree with you choosing. 
122. autumn - July 20th, 2008 at 5:49 am
wow. rocko’s. . that was quite a show. i remember when rocko and fillburt were arguing, someone knocked on the door and they both yelled, “WHAT THE HEllo, misses bighead.” hahahaha! it was then and there when i started to look for “hidden meaning” (later known as double entendres and sexual innuendo) in all shows. rocko’s and the animaniacs were full of ‘em. i love ‘em.
123. Glowbug - July 20th, 2008 at 6:13 am
What the f….. Where’s the Simpsons? Where’s Family Guy? Where’s Ranma 1/2? I hate to be overly critical, but Rocko?! That ‘toon SUCKED! I’d rather watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force
124. Teapixie - July 20th, 2008 at 6:16 am
Ren and Stimpy, Animaniacs, how I miss you.
Powdered Toast Man still holds a special place in my heart, and I often find myself singing, ‘Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.’ Thanks for an awesome list.
125. Glowbug - July 20th, 2008 at 6:29 am
Happyhappyjoyjoy,happyhappyhappyjoy….
126. BooRadley - July 20th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Vera Lynn (105)
YES! Bullwinkle IS out on DVD! My favorite line is when the Sea Captain couldn’t see the ship following them like Bullwinkle did. The Sea Captain said, “It must be a figment of your imagination.” Bullwinkle angrily replied, “WHO’S a Fig Newton?!”
Of course, I love To Kill a Mockingbird. Boo Radley is one of my dogs’ names - the other is Scout Finch!
127. emily - July 20th, 2008 at 8:26 am
swat kats (which i’ve never heard of) but no Simpsons???
128. jake - July 20th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Rocko’s Modern Life was a great show when i was a kid i didnt get some of the jokes but i watched it on the internet and some of the jokes were ment for older people it was a great show
i see people putting all these shows that were either started in the 80s or after the 90s so relax just enjoy the list
ya heard me
129. bec - July 20th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Couldn’t help but have rugrats theme song running through my head as soon as I saw the picture. Anyone else? Great list, although there will always be debate about most popular shows i guess. Starting a conversation with “Do you remember *insert fav show name here*” always results in very animated (pun intended) discussion and debate about which shows were best. So many of my favs are on the list, although I never really got into Beavis & Butthead and Ren & Stimpy - a bit too weird/gross for my taste. I also loved watching Captain Planet and Pinky and the Brain. Narf zoik!
130. jake ryder - July 20th, 2008 at 10:20 am
I didn’t realize that since the Simpsons had one episode in the *0’s it didn’t count as a 90’s cartoon. In that case since Family Guy started in the 90’s where is it.
By the way the Neilson Ratings for 90’s animated series are;
Simpsons 9.2
South Park 9.2
Family Guy 9.2
Futurama 9.2
X-Men 9.1
Sailor Moon 9.1
Superman 9.1
Rocko’s Modern Life 9.1
Courage the Cowardly Dog 9.1
Freakazoid 9.1
I have a lot of spare time at work.
131. Malo - July 20th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I’ve never heard of swat kats myself…
other than the aforementioned the list is great. Other cartoons I recall are Recess, Ahh Real Monsters, Garfield, TMNT, Pokemon, Gumbi (although it probably doesn’t count as a cartoon), Arthur, Dragon Tales from PBS (taught me how to whistle). I’ve been a long time reader and this list actually reaally lured me in, enough to post a comment. :]
They should make a list of 90s shows with people in them haha (don’t know the technical term). Power Rangers, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Goosebumps, and zoom, definitely a list I would look forward to.
132. Vera Lynn - July 20th, 2008 at 11:46 am
BooRadley (127) Yea! I will get Bullwinkle some time this week. It was so sophisticated, really.
133. B_Rad - July 20th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
South Park didn’t come on until the late 90’s. That and Family guy would be in the list for best cartoons of this decade. We need an 80’s list since most of us probably grew up in the 80’s.
Transformers…Voltron…anyone?
134. Cedestra - July 20th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Thank you for not including DB and DBZ- what an utter piece of crap.
Hey, did anyone know that Mark Mothersbaugh wrote and performed the theme to Rugrats? Mark, by the way, is the lead singer of Devo.
135. Cedestra - July 20th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Transformers and Voltron were 80s.
136. Cedestra - July 20th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Oh, nevermind >.
137. Stacie8s - July 20th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
I loved loved loved the Animaniacs, it was sooooo funny. There were some really creative and funny songs that were in the show that Yakko, Wakko and Dot would sing. Cracked me UP! And Tiny Toons was great too.
138. amoondoo - July 20th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
ive watched all of these and they are AMAZING! so many childhood memories…
that one rockos modern life when he imagines that his audience is naked….good times and how taboo for kid shows now!
139. travis - July 20th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
it doesnt matter that the simpsons started in 1989…the title of the list isnt most popular 90’s cartoons that began in the 90s. the show ran throughout the entirety of the 90s, and its best episodes were right in the middle of the decade. if i said, the simpsons was one of the most popular cartoons of the 90s, would you stop me and say “no it wasn’t, it started in 89″? the fact that it began in 89 doesn’t stop it from being one of the most popular show, let alone most popular the most popular cartoon, of the 90s.
140. felinefevah - July 20th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
lack of Angry Beavers makes kitty sad =(
141. Exoduster - July 20th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
As much as I like Rocko’s Modern Life, it was far from the most popular cartoon of the 90s. Best, maybe.
But really, who actually remembers Swat Kats?
142. felinefevah - July 20th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
List needed:
Powerpuff Girl;
Dexter’s Lab;
Ahh! Real Monsters;
Pokemon (original of course. i would get up early to watch before school);
Recess;
Invader Zim;
Garfeild;
Dragon Ball Z;
Pepperann (way too cool for 7th grade)
I only saw one episode of Freakazoid, but that episode remains a forever love in my heart
Never heard of swatcats
Didn’t really watch X-men, Beavis, or tiny toons
Hated animaniacs with a passion. Dont know why
Nick’s Doug kicks Disney’s Doug’s arse
Anyone watch Cow and Chicken?
I Am Weasel? (You don’t need pants for the victory dance, cause I are better than weasel!)
LOVED all others (Rocko: Is that CHEESE you have there? Can I have some CHEESE?)
I find myself randomly singing songs from Hey Arnold
“We’re rats, we’re rats.
We’re furry and forlorn.
We live in sewers, love in sewers
And our hearts are torn.
We love, we cry.
We sing in harmony.
I love him, he loves her.
And darn it, he loves me.
We’re rats, rats, rats, rats, rats!”
^If anyone remembers that they will always have a special place in my heart
Also the log song from R&S:
“It rolls downstairs
Alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbors dog
It’s great for a snack
It fits on your back
It’s Log, Log, Log!
It’s Log, Log
It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood
It’s Log, Log
It’s better than bad, it’s good!”
(If you haven’t noticed, I have a strange retention for jingles and songs)
And one last, 90’s cartoon related tidbit: My cousin’s aunt and uncle’s names are Doug and Patty. And I find that quite humerous.
The End
143. MPW - July 21st, 2008 at 12:27 am
Also “The Tick” and Bobby’s World
144. sue - July 21st, 2008 at 1:11 am
I love this list!!! esp the Nickelodeon cartoons,Rugrats,Doug and Hey Arnold! were some of my favorites.I think ‘As Told By Ginger’ should have an honourable mention.
I agree with the person who said they should make a 90’s rerun channel!
145. Ginger - July 21st, 2008 at 1:28 am
It was my birthday yesterday. (Sunday).
Makes me feel lots older though.
I was 16 and did lots of kids party games with my mates.
This list was a great present.
146. Vera Lynn - July 21st, 2008 at 2:19 am
felinefevah (142) Invader Zim I had a friend who thought this was the funniest. I hadn’t thought about it in years. Thank you.
147. kris - July 21st, 2008 at 2:40 am
luv all the listed cartoons….
148. chershey - July 21st, 2008 at 7:38 am
Angry Beavers? I miss Angry Beavers. /cry
149. jadester - July 21st, 2008 at 8:07 am
I thought i was the only one who love hey arnold!! Criminey!
150. B_Rad - July 21st, 2008 at 9:41 am
Thanks for clarifying cedestra…even though I had already clarified in my own post that I was talking about the 80’s. Might wanna read the entire comment first.
How about TMNT?
Or Celebrity Deathmatch, does that count as a cartoon?
151. Joss - July 21st, 2008 at 10:04 am
This really was quite the trip down memory lane. felinefevah pointed out a lot that should’ve been included, though!
152. lomez - July 21st, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Being the perfect age at the time for mindless humor like Beavis & Butthead I remember literally rolling around on the floor with my brother, that crippling type of laughter. When Beavis got stuck in the pipe? Or when they started their own band and called it Metallica? Heheheh
153. Fuzzycjo - July 21st, 2008 at 9:11 pm
This list makes me angry.
154. CRSN - July 21st, 2008 at 9:29 pm
alright list, some i wouldnt even let my dog watch, but hey, its from someone else’s perspective, i thought “Pinky and The Brain” would atleast over ride The Rugrats, i would have included a couple that started in the 80’s running into the 90’s like “Thunder Cats” and the old school “Transformers” which had a little more imagination to it and correct me if i’m wrong, but i have a vague recolection that there was even early animations of Spiderman and Batman.
all the cartoons like Beavis and Butt-head, Ren and Stimpy, and Animaniacs will always be classics in my mind with the X-Men not far behind.
oh, and how could you forget Itchy and Scratchy, the Simpsons may not be on the list, but thats how i learnt to disimbowel and skin a cat.
155. Decypha - July 22nd, 2008 at 2:27 pm
:’D WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! I loved my childhood!!! Thank you for reminding me about how great things were when I was growing up!! The 90’s were definitely the best time for kids to grow up!! Especially down here in South Africa!!
I used to adore the animaniacs and tiny toons!!! And I forgot that Swat Kats even existed!!!
Superb list!!
156. Vera Lynn - July 22nd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
BooRadley: I went to Best Buy today and they didn’t have it. I had to order it (Bullwinkle). I could not believe it. So I guess I’ll have to wait. Such is life!
157. Quiana - July 23rd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Rockos Modern Life? The best cartoon of the 90s? Where are you from?
158. Emily - July 23rd, 2008 at 10:02 am
South Park anyone??
Although vulgar and controversial, a cartoon nonetheless.
159. dirtyrockerbarbie - July 23rd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
can’t believe rugrats was last! that came out when i was 4 and ran till i was 18!!! its possible that show is just monumentally epic in my own microcosm. but dang, that’s a long time. and everyone loved it.
tiny toon adventures was a poor man’s rugrats. pshaw.
sponge bob is the bomb and anyone who says anything differently is a terrorist
but rocco’s modern life being #1? seriously? i mean it was a great show but by no means deserves #1… #15 at best.
where’s teenage mutant ninja turtles?
NEVER heard of swat… what was it? kats? i have no idea.
nickelodeon back in the golden years… am i the only 20 something here who misses nickelodeon? (i’m talking about welcome freshmen, salute your shorts, all that, stick stickley, aah! real monsters, angry beavers, are you afraid of the dark, legends of the hidden temple, pete & pete, clarissa, alex mack, you know??? oh the list goes on and on, there’s a facebook group called “bring back my 90’s nickelodeon” with all the shows and it has almost 300,000 members in it).
sorry for the diatribe, all. feel much better. but this list blows hardcore.
*very* disappointed.
160. Jason - July 23rd, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I liked Samurai Pizza Cats.
161. Petemurrey - July 23rd, 2008 at 4:09 pm
One night in paris was pretty amusing
162. set89 - July 23rd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Nice list although to Nickelodeon based,and no doubt The Simpson’s should have been no.1 or at least on the least,thats a shame.
163. Ernmas - July 24th, 2008 at 5:28 am
Just wanted to point out that Ren & Stimpy was actually created prior to 1990 by John K. I remember my junior/senior year of high school my friends watching skits. I assume it was part of another show like the Simpsons were on the Tracy Ullman show. I don’t know what network it ran on or show it was a part of, but it didn’t gain popularity until it hit Nick.
164. Shami - July 24th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
O em gee. [Sorry I had to put that. Sucks] I totally love Rugrats! It was my favorite since I was little. I also loved Doug, although I forgotten abou that, and Hey Arnold.
Last year I was in love with Beavis and Butthead. I Dunno Why They Were Giving It On MTV last year. But I really fell head over heels in love with the show. It was so stupid that it was funny! BEVIS AND BUTTHEAD RULES! C:
165. Denzell - July 25th, 2008 at 5:04 am
WHAT? No Spongebob?
166. Zel - July 25th, 2008 at 5:25 am
Freakazoid and Pienkie and the Brain.
167. Chestica - July 25th, 2008 at 11:44 am
It’s log it’s log it’s big it’s heavy it’s wood. It’s log it’s log it’s better than bad it’s good!
I would have bought every single psuedo product they had on Ren and Stimpy, had I been older than 9.
168. Shadow - July 25th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Just in case no one has said anything yet… the picture used for X-Men is too new. Those characters feature a newer drawing style and look than the actual series used.
169. Vera Lynn - July 27th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
The 90s had nothing on the 70s. Talk about psychodelic and original. Wild crazy stuff. More thought provoking and intelligent.
Do a list on that. The 70s cartoons. Unless been done already and I missed it.
170. Drogo - July 28th, 2008 at 4:27 am
We’re tiny, we’re toony,
we’re all a little loony.
and in this cartoony we’re invading your tv.
We’re comic dispensers,
we crack up all the censors…..
(I better just stop there.)
171. Mark ywain - July 30th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Rocko’s Modern Life, classic, and Rugrats…Good times.
Captain Planet, catdog and pinky and the brain I also remember fondly.
But nothing beats The Simpsons during the 90s! Really bad nowadays.
These young’uns are missing out badly.
172. DangermouseDavs - August 8th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Awww, no Darkwing Duck?
173. CRSN - August 8th, 2008 at 12:14 am
DangermouseDavs - totally forgot about DW, Darkwing was awesome when i was a kid
174. CRSN - August 8th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Chip and Dale “The Rescue Rangers”
i can still hear the theme song “ch, ch, ch, chip and dale recue rangers”
now its stuck in my head.
175. Ellen - August 13th, 2008 at 10:16 am
no pokémon???? that was the one cartoon I watched religiously everytime it was on. I still know the theme song of by heart, all these years later.
176. AARON - August 21st, 2008 at 6:30 am
