Worst 10 cartoons EVER!

[Calhoun07]

We always talk about out favorite cartoons on these boards, but what about the bottom ten you'd rather have your eyes gouged out than to see again?

Here is my list:
The Gary Coleman Show. As much as I liked the idea he was DEAD, seeing him fly around as an angel and that series was entirely too painful.

Gilligan's Planet. If only the Harlem Globetrotters had built a space ship also to add a touch of class to this show.

Mr T. This one lasted three seasons. THREE SEASONS. God, in heaven, what was going on in the 80's????

Rubik the Amazing Cube. I guess I can't get all negative about this one. It holds a place in history of being perhaps the only animated series based on a PUZZLE. Oh, yeah, whenever I was trying to get that friggin thing to have one side at least one color, I was thinking, Man I would love to see this toy come alive as a CARTOON!

David the Gnome. This list was supposed to be five when I started out then I remembered this one and had to extend it. A gnome named David voiced by Tom Bosley (Wait Til Your Father Gets Home fame, of course). What better combination could you ask for?

A Pup Named Scooby. As if Scrappy wasn't enough torment!

My Pet Monster. I have to pet your
WHAT?????

Super Globetrotters. The first series was so great, why not do a spin off? Surely, this will be just as good! I will just post the picture and let you make your own caption.

Blackstar. I hated this show as a kid but watched it every week. I was WEAK, I tell you, weak! This show ripped off every sci fi convention you could think of. Possibly the worst sci fi animated series ever.

Hulk Hogan's Rock and Roll Wrestling! All I can hope for now that current govenor of Minnesota Jesse Vetura gets his own animated series.

[HellCat]

I saw that Super Globe Trotters show 4 years ago. It was part of this segment that CN UK used to air called "Look What We Found",which was made up of stuff like The Gary Coleman Show and other old shows.

[DerekPowers]

Calhoun07, you'd list "a pup named scooby doo" under the worst cartoons ever! what! i loved that show. it was so funny and actually gave personality to freddy, daphnie, and velma (although velma had some personality in the old show). I dont know if i can handle all this, first all the dissatisfaction with tnba and now i find out a pup named scooby doo isnt liked by all.

but anyway i can list some bad cartoons, cause theres lots...

first SHEEP IN THE BIG CITY. my god this show sucks. i watched it a few times and am just embarassed for it. it is so corney and the jokes are so horrible. ya this is a terrible show. it trys WAY too hard.

hmm, you know what, i cant think of any others. i guess i like cartoons more than i thought. peace.

[Nightflower]

Hey, now, some people actually LIKE "My pet monster" (Okay, I don't...)

Here's one for the list. "Yvon of the Yukon". Has anyone seen this? I think it's Canadian, and shown only on YTV. It's HORRIBLE! It relies only on ugly-bum-picking-nose-farting-sniffing-poo-and-other-various-bodily-fluids jokes. It's about this butt-ugly French dude running around in his underwear, and the animation is just hideous!

[I.R Joey]

You leave sheep alone you heratic or I shall use YOU for my ray gunj/k

Seriously if I had to pick a few.

Generation O: Yet for some reason I can identify with it (scared.)

Digimon: I don't know about the foreign version but Fox's=yuck!!!

Prostars: Heh, heh

Captian planet: The only cartoon that made me want to hurt the Earth, and I feel sorry for that 5th kid...Heart!?!? what the...!?!?

Can I count Quest for Camelot? Bad...horrible...harmful to the brain.

Most of the Oh Yeah cartoons, and WAC shows (of coarse the ones that where good where brilliant.)

There have been alot of bad ones maybe I'll think of some later.

BTW I think it was Yoink of the Yucon (I liked it personally)

[RockItShipper]

Digimon: I don't know about the foreign version but Fox's=yuck!!!

You mean the original? Infinitely better. First off, dialogue is not crammed into every possible moment. Second, a # of eps have been rewritten for US audiences by one of the VAs. Which is why you have one character talking about wetting himself, dialogue that doesn't fit the animation or changes the story altogether, and jokes that aren't funny...

And like every other anime, the original theme songs are never as hard-edged as their dub counterparts... And different songs are used for various types of evolution(there's no fancy "digi" word in the original), rather than the theme song being lifted yet again.

Fox and Saban can at least take pride in not being the ones responsible for that crappy future scene, though.

[Calhoun07]

So, where can one find the original versions of animie that is edited and sanitized for Saturday morning in America? I would be inclined to watch Sailor Moon, but if I could find the original versions from Japan and with English dubs, or at least English subtitles.

[Bud 'n Lou]

*thinks Calhoun's spelling "anime" as "animie" is cute*

Aninimie? Lol. :)

Suncoast and Borders are good starting points. Comic stores too. Video game speciality stores, particularly for fansubs. :)
I've come across official Sailor Moon subs/dubs/editted dubs on VHS(have 2 actually). DVDs have all three I think. CCS has subbed unedited DVDs and VHS. Gundam DVDs have sub and dub options. Some DB stuff is subbed on DVD, but for the whole trilogy one has to rely on fansubs. I have fanubs of the first 15 eps of Dragonball and I'm positive that the funny stuff is all editting room fodder for the dubbers. Panties, boobs, peeing, perverts, flashing, Goku's overnaivete... As for the likes of Pokemon and Digimon... very little in the fansub or official department... Which is not to say that I can't get them. In fact, I'm heading over to get 4 eps more of each tomorrow. Problem for some is that they're not subtitled. But particularly in Digimon's case, it's a vast improvement. Except for the 2nd season finale. That was just wrong.

[Lonestarr]

Now, I haven't seen every cartoon ever made, but I can certainly attest that these four cartoons are the worst that I'VE ever seen:

THE SYLVESTER AND TWEETY MYSTERIES - One can just imagine the pitch session for this: "We've had lots of luck making new shows with new characters, so let's try a new show with classic characters." "But who can we get?" "I know; the cat and the bird! The cat's still chasing the bird, but this time, instead of just beating him up, let's really humiliate him, make him obsessive, dress him in drag, the whole nine." "And we can get the bulldog that was in a few cartoons with him for more torture." "And we can get that old lady as their owner." "I've got a great idea: let's combine it with 'Murder, She Wrote' all around the world. It's perfect!" Try not to be too angry with this last statement, but I think that Friz Freleng (Heaven rest his soul) passed on just in time. If he saw what they did to his characters (I know that Bob Clampett created Tweety, but you know what I mean), the shock would've killed him.

CATDOG - Never mind the premise (smart cat and stupid dog joined - literally - at the hip). It's what they do to Cat. Tune in to just about any episode; they treat the guy like absolute crap. (In case you haven't figured it out already, I like cats.) And Dog, character-wise, is a total waste of ink. Take Stimpy, multiply him by Homer Simpson, throw in a bit of Junyer Bear, subtract any humor and you're almost there. Though the theme song (written and sung by series creator Peter Hannan) kicks.

HISTERIA - Long ago, Tom Ruegger had an idea for a great show: a group of zany characters whose purpose was to entertain, and sometimes educate, its audience. That show is called...wait for it...ANIMANIACS. Unfortunately, Ruegger and company failed to catch lightning in a bottle a second time for this wrong-headed effort. Obviously-talented writers and a terrific voice cast were wasted on asinine situations and some of the most unlikable, ignorant characters in animation history. You got one girl who screams at the end of every sentence. Then you have this one kid who ALWAYS TALKS REALLY LOUD LIKE THIS!! Then you've got another guy who apparently learned to talk listening to Ed McMahon on "The Tonight Show"...and only Ed. And then there's this baby who exists primarily to prove just how unfunny and idiotic fart jokes can be. And don't even get me started on the characters meeting historical figures, and said historical figures transported to the future having to suffer the torment of their inventions. Oh, and the celebrity impersonations; I've nothing against the celebrities, but John McLaughlin as Confucius?! Frank Sinatra as Julius Caesar? When making a show that aims as high as this, it's not a bad idea to be consistenly funny.

SABRINA: THE ANIMATED SERIES - Where to begin? The completely moronic plotlines? The total lobotomizing of Harvey from the live-action show? Dragging through the mud the fine name of Savage Steve Holland? (Rent "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack. You'll thank me for it.) The placement of the absolutely charmless, not to mention grating Emily Hart in the title role? Whatever the reason, it's a dud.

Pretty easy. Any comic store or a few Suncoasts may have them. They'd say "Uncut version" and if you look around, it's be either dub or sub. I presume the DVDs have both subs and dubs on them. They should have subs at the very least.

Sailor Moon's pretty good in the original; certainly one of my guilty pleasures. The melodrama is usually played out better.

The monster shows don't have uncut releases, AFAIK.

I saw a number of Pocket Monsters fansubs at a comic convention about 2/3 months back. Didn't get any since I have about 75% of the series on VHS and had just spent $ on the epilepsy episode :D which was untranslated, just like the rest of my PokeLibrary. Fansubbed versions of the first two movies, and the first two movie shorts (each with an tv episode) videos are circulating as well.

Heard CCS movie 1's subbed on Japanese DVD but I'm likely not to bother. I have both CCs movies on VHS already.:D

[Crazy8s]

I've been watching tv toons practically from the beginning, so I can recall so many stinkers!

I truly, truly hated (and continue to hate) an annoying HB duck named Quacky Doodle. He always spoke like he had a nose full of snot and said sickeningly sweet things like , "awww, nobody loves a poor, little fuzzy ducky." I've always wanted to roast him on a spit!

Truth is, I have pimple raising memories of much of HB's creations: Squidly Diddly, Frankenstein Jr., Magilla Gorilla. All so terrible and stupid!! Penelope Pitstop--arghh! All shows with the snickering dog Muttly.

The Impossibles and all other awful attempts at funny super hero shows.

The Ghostbusters--no, not the REAL Ghostbusters--the one with the ape. Barf.

The Sonic cartoon that ran weekdays. What a piece of poorly animated and written crap! Why??!!

That's a few from the Hall of Heck! There are plenty more where they came from!!

[joker]

Prostars: Heh, heh

ha
SHEEP IN THE BIG CITY. my god this show sucks. i watched it a few times and am just embarassed for it. it is so corney and the jokes are so horrible. ya this is a terrible show. it trys WAY too hard.
no way! this show is so funny. i always split my sides every time i watch it

I know what you are talking about. I equally loathe Woody Woodpecker. That annoying bird filled me with such hatred when I was a kid (I am sure that's what they wanted in the demographic!). He would deliberately do things that were WRONG and just for the sake of being annoying then we were supposed to root for him as he got away from the people he made angry? I wanted to see him killed in each episode. (I know, you're probably wondering why I watched it then. Woody Woodpecker was usually only a short lasting for a couple minutes out of an entire show of other cartoons, and in my day, living in the country, there weren't 80 other channels on cable to choose from. There were about four or five channels we could get in, and that was it!)

[I.R Joey]

How could I have forgotten these.

Birdman. Garbage, utter garbage, I didn't even like it as a kid.

The Sonic Cartoon (Weekday, the SAtAm one was cool) and the Mario cartoon (which I use to watch.)

Two stupid Dogs: A show has never been more appropriately named.

[Nightflower]

Yea, yea, I'm sure we're all whippersnappers to you ;P j/k

Seriously though, I HATE Woody Woodpecker as well. While I might have nothing against things like Silvester and Tweety, or Roadrunner and Coyote, those birds, at least, are avoiding getting eaten....in a very smarmy way, but never mind that. Woody is just...annoying. Smart-ass. Malicious. And his laugh, GWAH!

Crazy8, which Sonic cartoon are you talking about? There were several. There's Sonic Underground (Which sucks), the one focusing on Sonic and Tails (Which also sucked), and there was one where they were freedom fighters, and there was this Princess Sally girl. I liked that one.

I don't really care for Digimon. It's okay. The background kinda looks like an anime artist puked all over it sometimes though. Their arc transitions are really awkward. "Yay, we beat the ultimate evil- WHAT? There's ANOTHER ultimate evil?" But that's just my observations of the first season, I don't know what the others are like.

Insert the song "Old Man's Moldy Memories" from the You Don't Know Jack Head Rush game here. heee heeeeee...just kidding! I ain't much older than the lot of ya! Just didn't get no cable deep in the country in Minnesota, and only had one of those archaic atennaes on top of the house. If it pointed north, we got in EVERYTHING, but as soon as a hard winter northern wind would come in, it would turn south and we would only get in four channels or so. Very annoying!

[RockItShipper]

Taito. Kensuke. Leekato. These are just a few of the special little things that make Digimon worth watching. And Mimi (except when she's done some weird hair **** like pink dye or an orange 'fro)reminds me of my current crush. :)

[Crazy8s]

The syndicated episodes were the stinkers (and Sonic Underground as well--why didn't they just begin where the first Satam Sonic ended, with Snively taking over?). The Satam Sonic with the freedom fighters was really a good show that could appeal to many levels of viewers. I was ticked when they ended it on a cliffhanger! Who was that figure in the shadows? And Snively would have made a terror of a bad guy! So much built up rage!

Oh, and yes, Two Stupid Dogs was stupid--ugh! I also dislike ugly cartoons like Cow and Chicken, and personally, I couldn't stand Road Runner either. How I wanted to see him steaming on a plate with veggies! Annoying bird characters! Cook em all and let God sort em out!

[killercroc]

Q-bert-Anyone remember this load of drek? It sucked!

Pac-Man-Ditto!

I found an interview a few months ago with one of SatAM Sonics main writers. It gave the storyline about what was gonna happen next. The figure in the shadows was that wizard Robotnik had trapped. The explosion set him free. In a few seconds,he easily disposes of Snively,who leaves and joins the freedom fighters. Then the wizard takes over and Robotnik takes Snively's place as the wizard's lakey.

[don Jaime]

I was going to post this earler today, but the ISP crashed. Oh well.

It's not a good sign when "the worst shows of all time" include several you actually like (don Jaime glances at own avatar). So these are some that I think should be considered bad, mainly because I consider them bad. Only one really qualifies for the worst ever list, which prominently features Hanna-Barbera's Carter era goofs.

Roadrunner and Coyote. Not. Good. No plot, no suspense, no jokes. I never have seen the draw to this, and can remember being irritated when they came on even at age 4. I wish I had one of those "Beep beep yer ass!" posters from the '60s. Mentioned before, but must be listed again.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Jiggle animation is awful. And so is this show's writing, one non-sequiter after another. Throw in some heartful dislike for the kids on the part of creator Danny Antonucci and you have an uncomfortable viewing experience.

Pokemon. Clunkiest animation I've ever seen. Ash's dub voice can cause seizures faster than the infamous epilepsy ep. Oh, and Jigglypuff is evil. Far worse than other kiddie anime.

Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. Another late '70s HB clinker CN used to run at 1:00 AM to put insomniacs to sleep. Tom Bosley in a dull sitcom. Never was clear why it was animated; it was just another sitcom.

Transformers. Bo-Ring!

Detention and Recess. I still want proof that these weren't the same dull show. And what qualified it for a feature? All nine of its fans?

Rugrats. They can only talk to each other, and when they do, they dispronunciate everything - it's cute! Actually was good for about 15 seconds, when Chuckie pushed Angelica into a wall. Before that, bland chase-the-baby skits. After, cloying schmaltz.

Cow and Chicken. John "the Egomaniac" Kricfalusi has claimed credit for inspiring every cartoon going back to Gertie, but I understand he keeps mum about this. I would, too. Looks JUST LIKE Ren and Stimpy, complete with giant asses and off-color jokes, but with all that humor removed. David Feiss does Chee-Tos ads now, and hopefully nothing more.

The Leonhardts. Found this a time or two a couple of years back. The mascot of a Hollywood studio (boy, THAT doesn't sound like Animaniacs) and his home life. Imagine uberliberal PC mixed with patronizing William Bennett-style family values, and you have the preachiest show since the latter-day Cosby Show. Ran Sunday mornings. Was preachier than the televangelists on the other channels.

Garfield. An animated cat sleeps. Sometimes he wakes up and thinks something cranky. And that's the good part - it doesn't involve Jim Davis' lamer strip US Acres.

The Smurfs. Nothing more need be said.

Bad Dog. The others aren't as bad as the '70s and '80s drivel mentioned previously, but this...this is far worse. Takes all the horror of HB at its worst and takes it to new lows. Evil dog of the Heathcliff/Marmaduke/Garfield sort destroys everything in sight during a spastic woofing fit that could curdle water. Family is typically stupid, especially dad. Squealing toddler never shuts up about how much he likes Bad Dog, until his eardrum-shattering voice makes you pray for death. Fey neighbor is the victim of this dog's reign of terror, and we're supposed to hate him for wanting this beast dead. I'd loan him my shotgun.

Bad Dog is easily the worst cartoon ever made. It makes the Baby Jesus cry.

[Nightwing]

Wow that's one heck of a list! But here is one comment where I take a stand. Two Stupid Dogs was a hilarious, yet sometimes crude, show!! And that 90s evolution of Secret Squirrel was great too. I loved that stuff!

And I grew up on David the Knome. I don't know what that means though. It probably means that it wasn't bad for kids, just irritating for adults. I have no idea what my current opinion would think of it, because I haven't seen it since I was like 5. But for some strange inexplicable reason, I'll never forget it. Such an odd show....

Where is your avatar from?

Great list by the way! I am surprised I didn't think of some of those myself! The Smurfs especially! But Bad Dog? I am unfamilar with that one...Rude Dog I have a passing familiararity with, but not Bad Dog. I haven't really seen either one, though.

[don Jaime]

Bad Dog was on Fox Family, the unholy alliance of Rupert Murdoch and Pat Robertson. For all I know, it's still on. You haven't missed a thing, Cal. I believe the Bad Dog's actual name was Berkeley of Barkley or something like that. Style resembled Eekstravaganza, but I don't believe Savage Steve was involved.

Oh, and my current avatar is from Digimon. It's not that bad a show, I think, though the English version is aggravating.

[Lonestarr]

Though I disagree with most of your choices (Detention and Recess ARE two different shows), you were dead on in your summation of "Bad Dog". I can't believe that I forgot about this; of course, there is nothing terribly memorable about this show. I just wanted to put that mutt to sleep; the brat, too. And please, don't sully the fine name of Savage Steve Holland. One would think that having his name attached to "Sabrina: the Animated Series" would be punishment enough. And one would be correct.

Now I realize this show is crappy, but back in the day...back in the day... Still, I wish they'd do one more and have the Coyote finally catch that damn bird.

[QUOTE]
Transformers. Bo-Ring!



Once again, back in the day! You never liked this show? Ever?

[RockItShipper]

Pokemon. Clunkiest animation I've ever seen. Ash's dub voice can cause seizures faster than the infamous epilepsy ep.
The worse part is how it's just plain old inconsistent. Every ten episodes the VA would go up a couple of pitches. Certainly dubs have a tendency of keeping VAs on staff rather than hold auditions for new characters which leads to horrible accents and bland readings. Which is why I'm been dub-free on this for a year.

Let's take Kenji/"Tracey Sketchit" for example. The indication from the original VA's body of work is that he's known primarily for shoujo anime. Escaflowne, Samurai X, Cardcaptor Sakura, Wedding Peach, X... And he gives a hyper performance that's wonderful to watch and was the defining moment in me coming to like "Brock's" replacement simply because I got to see the original version first. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Seki,+Tomokazu

Then we have some guy hired at the start of the dub to voice "James". Eventually replaced by the guy hired as "Brock", he nonetheless stayed on doing bit parts. And then he was hired as another main character- giving a bland reading. Which is why I was thrilled when I discovered that the dub wasn't my only option.

[don Jaime]

I thought of more. I can probably go on like this all week. A few notes first - maybe the first RR&WEC short was passable for being original, but thirty Xerox copies of the same oops-he-fell-of-the-cliff-again short ain't genius. Transformers has never done anything for me, no. Sorry. And no offense to Eek fans; that's just the only show I can think of with a similar visual style. "Bad Dog" comes on at noon Central if you want to kill brain cells. Immediately after is "Mega Babies," the awful gross-out PPG clone. Must Barf TV, I guess.

Again, not THE worst, just bad.

Hippity Hopper. As Roadrunner was to Jones, so Hippity was to Robert McKimson - an unfunny force of nature sent to humiliate a shlub villain beyond the point of reason. Can't I believe I omitted him. And to make matters worse, HH shorts feature Sylvester Jr. emasculating his dad at every opportunity.

South Park. The shock cartoon. And like most shock, uninteresting once the shock wears off. Uninteresting before if you didn't shock easily the first time, for that matter.

Robert Smigel cartoons. Ditto. Bonus bad points for the non-animated Triumph the Insult Comedy Dog.

Rocket Power. It's cool kids doing extreme sports! Only their not cool, and their sports don't look that extreme, either. In fact, it's bland kids doing bland things in the blandest Nicktoon there is. Kind of like "If the Rugrats grew up to be Doug."

Johnny Bravo post-Partible. Giovanni Bravo "Van" Partible created a great show, one of the highlights of CN. The Scooby Doo crossover is classic. Then he left, and no one seems to know why. His show should have been allowed to die, too, but noooo. Write the lug, his Mama, and Little Suzie completely out of character, toss in Beelzebub a.k.a. Carl, wreck the show's visual style, and glut the airwaves so Partible's work is forgotten. Boooooo!

Jabberjaw. Imagine you are Aquaman on acid hallucinating that a nearby shark and scuba divers are Curly Howard and a tone-deaf rock band solving crime a la Scooby Doo. Not the same, is it? Probably because what you did was entertaining.

The Great Mouse Detective. Can't let Disney get away unscathed. I never saw "The Black Cauldron" so I'll reserve comment, but this fiasco played out before my eyes and I couldn't stop it, mainly because I wasn't old enough to drive yet. Rattigan was more irritating than evil. Basil needed a slap upside the head. Be sure to miss the G-rated striptease.

Dudley Do-Right's Friends. NOT Dudley himself - he was fantastic. But tune in late at night Saturdays to see him matched with Jay Ward's most embarrassing mistakes. Commander McBragg is a Mary Sue, the Hunter is dopey and annoying, and the worst is the King and Odie. King Leonatto, a lion, and his prime minister Odie Colognie, a skunk, fend off the nefarious plots of gangster Biggie Rat and Leonatto's scheming brother Itchy. Who cares? Leonatto's dumb. In the intro, Biggie catches him, then THROWS HIS GUNS AWAY to chuck him out a window, and Leonatto does nothing to stop him. These always try to put me to sleep before the second Dudley short.

Dragonball Z. Goku has trained like a lunatic for the past twenty-two episodes and is ready to fight the bad guy. Goku knows the guy is bad because he laughs evilly and wiggles his shoulders up and down at the same time. He also blows up mountains (Goku does, too, but he can't do the laugh). After wasting fifteen minutes in the traditional session of so's-your-old-man that begins every DBZ fight, Goku powers up. But he needs time, so he dispatches Tien of the creepy unblinking third eye, "Char Siu" (as I call him) of the mean BBQ and Tammy Faye make-up, and Yamcha the Goku lookalike (except for the scars) to soften the baddie up. Tien, Char Siu, and Yamcha are swatted like flies. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku isn't ready, so he sends his ex-enemies Piccolo the mutant Vulcan and Vegeta the Goku lookalike (except he can do the laugh) to take off some more bad guy edge. Despite being roughly Goku's equals, they fail miserably. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku still isn't ready, so he sends Krillin/Krellin/Kuririn/Whatever, he of the bald head and sign of six on his forehead that would get him called evil if he lived in a Christian country, to see what he can do. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself, but K-man's cooler than any other character so Gohan tags along. Bad guy dusts them both. Goku is just about ready now, and good and steamed about how his friends got beat up at his insistance, and Mr. Bad is doing the laugh again, and Goku finally powers up, readies his attack, and...tune in tomorrow for the next thrilling installment.

Don Bluth movies. I was looking forward to "Titan AE." It had ads that looked like it might be good, with anime-inspired action. Then I saw one that showed a butt-ugly Sebulba-ish critter putting on round goggles while pursing its lips in childlike wonder and I thought, "Man, that is so ugly and cloying, it looks like Don Bluth's work!" And then I scanned the credits at the ad's end and saw it WAS Bluth's work. It had to be a bomb. It was.

Bluth can make one, and it might be halfway good. "An American Tail" and "The Secret of NIMH" weren't total disasters, though they were highly confusing if you were under age 15, as the entire target audience was. But any goodwill is erased in pointless unwanted sequels. Yiddish immigrant becomes Jimmy Stewart's deputy? Whose idea was "Timmy to the Rescue"? And can the two previously mentioned movies make up for the entire "Land Before Time" series, now in its 89th sequel?

Aw man, these shows have their moments. Triumph is pretty annoying, but the super hero whose main mission is to get his alter-ego laid is hilarious.

South Park actually does have some redeeming qualities. The Flag episode comes to mind.

OK, I totally agree with this one. Don't forget that Jabberjaw had the most annoying voice ever!

After wasting fifteen minutes in the traditional session of so's-your-old-man that begins every DBZ fight, Goku powers up. But he needs time, so he dispatches Tien of the creepy unblinking third eye, "Char Siu" (as I call him) of the mean BBQ and Tammy Faye make-up, and Yamcha the Goku lookalike (except for the scars) to soften the baddie up. Tien, Char Siu, and Yamcha are swatted like flies. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku isn't ready, so he sends his ex-enemies Piccolo the mutant Vulcan and Vegeta the Goku lookalike (except he can do the laugh) to take off some more bad guy edge. Despite being roughly Goku's equals, they fail miserably. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku still isn't ready, so he sends Krillin/Krellin/Kuririn/Whatever, he of the bald head and sign of six on his forehead that would get him called evil if he lived in a Christian country, to see what he can do. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself, but K-man's cooler than any other character so Gohan tags along. Bad guy dusts them both. Goku is just about ready now, and good and steamed about how his friends got beat up at his insistance, and Mr. Bad is doing the laugh again, and Goku finally powers up, readies his attack, and...tune in tomorrow for the next thrilling installment.


Yeah, but stuff gets blown up Real Good.



Bluth can make one, and it might be halfway good. "An American Tail" and "The Secret of NIMH" weren't total disasters, though they were highly confusing if you were under age 15, as the entire target audience was.

Now Fievel annoys the crap out of me, even in his debut, but I've gotta take issue about NIMH. That cartoon is great! It was the first one I saw that made me realize you could tell an excellent story in toons. I probably was confused when I first saw at the theater, but it was still great. What a great concept, and they pulled it off great. It was based on a book, by...can't remember. Gosh could I say great anymore? yep just did.

OH, and I can't believe no one has mentioned the king of all crappy toons...drumroll please...Scooby Doo

[Bud 'n Lou]

don, you're a riot! I couldn't have parodied DBZ better myself. Lousiest show I've ever seen.
I was actually thinking about this the other day...I liked All Dogs Go to Heaven, a Bluth flick. I may be wrong, but for some reason, I'm thinking Burt Reynolds did the voice of the leading dog, right? It's been a while since I last saw it, but remember really liking it. :) Now the *sequel* on the other hand...or are there more than one now?

And, I too REALLY liked David the Gnome, Nightwing! *gets nostalgic for it*

[RockItShipper]

RE: DBZ... Pretty much all I have in my subbie collection of it are with Future Trunks... The episodes where he fights Frieza and the tv special. Pretty self-contained, cool fights and time for the other characters to talk amongst themselves over some beer(????) while waiting for Goku. But aside from that, I think Z is a far more inferior show to Dragonball. But that's in part b/c I luv gross-out humor. And it has TR's forerunners, Shuu and the lovely lovely Mai.

[I.R Joey]

I enjoy DBZ. The charecter designs are good, and Vegeta is like the coolest guy ever. Though by my own admissions the show is very repatetive.

Oh and there is another one I forgot. Did any of you ever see Fox's Avengers. Uhhh... where should I begin the horrible storys or the ugly animation? I mean when Ultron was flying up it looked like the ground was getting farther away. Then the storys "winds of destiny change!!!"



*Clicks to next channel*

:D

The only charecter I liked alot was Vision. He actually had descent voice acting?

[Calhoun07]

I for one greatly enjoy Robert Smigel's work. Now, as for the other cartoons on that list, I agree with all of the views listed (SOUTH PARK! Another one that I can't believe I missed on my first list! I hate that show!) But Robert Smigel's cartoons work for me because they are short and they don't get annoying in that short amount of time. He knows how to not over stay his welcome.

BTW, I do think that Robert Smigel could have what it takes to make a longer piece of work. His X Presidents comic book was very intelligent and funny and great cover to cover. I was expecting it to get lame after the first chapter or so, but it was good all thru the book.

[RockItShipper]

X-Presidents? like on SNL and Playboy, right?:o

YES! The comic book is available on amazon.com and at other fine booksellers around the country.

[don Jaime]

Playboy, RockItShipper? I figured you more for Hustler.

FTR, Amazon also has Robert O'Brien's "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." I should pick it up so I can finally comprehend the plot for the movie. I've seen it twice and got badly lost both times. Good animation, though.

Apologies to DBZ fans, but the show is so repetitive. What little new happens is covered in the "Last time on DBZ" and "Next time on DBZ" promos, so you don't have to watch. And blowing up stuff pales to Oolong and Turtle Master trying to get some.

[B]Calhoun07, you'd list "a pup named scooby doo" under the worst cartoons ever! what! i loved that show. it was so funny and actually gave personality to freddy, daphnie, and velma (although velma had some personality in the old show).
but anyway i can list some bad cartoons, cause theres lots...

I too really like "A Pup Named Scooby Doo." It's the old Scooby Doo shows I can't stand. I liked the sloppy ultra-toony animation style as well as the self-parody angle. Like how everyone knows when Thelma says "jinkies" she's found a clue. And how freddie is a dunce and always fingers "Red Herring" for everything. Not to mention how people make fun of Scooby's speach impediment.
Ex. Character #1: "He was trying to steal the crowned jewels."
Scooby: "The round rules?"
Character #1: "No, the crowned jewels."
Scooby: "Roh."


:D

[Calhoun07]

I guess I was jaded by all the crappy Scooby animated shows in the past.

Making kids out of popular cartoon characters was quite a trend there for a while. Say, if things had been timed differently, instead of creating Batman Beyond, Bruce Timm might have made Batman Before!

[Inque]

i'd say the worst cartoons come from nickelodeon. they just annoy me a lot

For me, blowing up stuff's nice in small doses or complimented with interesting characters and some perversion.

[James Harvey]

About DBZ, a frien dof mine said it best. He said he missed three weeks of show, yet didn't miss anything at all. The last episode he saw three weeks after he came off essentially picked up where the episode that aired three weeks ago left off. All they do is scream what they're doing and grunt. And blow stuff up, too.

Far and above (or below), Digimon is the worst anime on the airwaves. Pokemon, which sneaks in A LOT of Japanese and American pop-culture (and historical) references and 'in' jokes keep it somewhat afloat, is really a better show that Digimon.

DBZ? Eh? It's good for the first few episodes. It does drag, but ah, people like it.

[RockItShipper]

RE: DBZ screaming... Last year I was watching the dub in the dorms while my room mate was around... She said it sounded like they were.. um ...y'know. A comment especially bad given the occassional DBZ yaoi fic I've stumbled across...

I've got this whole PokeDigi discussion that's been bouncing in my head for quite some time, but it ultimately comes to the two shows being similiar only on a superficial level really. and with that, i really need to get to bed. but i will get it typed up soon i hope.

[James Harvey]

Even though it technically isn't a cartoon, I'd sa BRATS of the Lost Nebual rank near the bottom of the heap. With poor puppetry, bland special fxs, and hlariously bad characters and dialogue, this show just reeks.

[I.R Joey]

I remember Brats of the lost Nebula (unfortunately)

However, do any of you remember channel Umpte 3 (spell) Goodness what where they thinking (or where they?)

[James Harvey]

BRATS and Umptee was some of the worst stuff that KWB ever invented. BRATS got a 26 episode order up here on the Canadian channel YTV, and it still airs today!

Only as a bad, surpressed memory. I forgot about that one til now!

[Kylewayne]

I would have to say Ren and Stimpy....I don,t find that show the least amusing. DBZ is second on my list.It's just the same story line over and over. Third has to be Pippi Longstocking (I think that is what it is called)...the red hair girl annoys me with her stupidity. Fourth, Samurai Pizza Cats, ok...it wasn't so bad.
Fifth, has to be Ronin Warriors, what the heck was that show all about! Sixth, Goldorak...maybe, still debating.

Well, I think my list is lomg enough :D

[James Harvey]

The 1st season of REN & STIMPY was great. Then when John K. "left" (aka fired) the show became complete crap.

[Calhoun07]

Have we mentioned THE AVENGERS yet? The blocky animation, bad character designs and even worse voice casting. The voice for Hawkeye is undoubtably the most miscast voice for a cartoon I've heard in a long, long time...

[Calhoun07]

With great movies like Blade and X Men, and I have great faith that Spider Man will be the best ever, I hope that Marvel kicks their animation department into gear. They have been making bad animated shows for decades. The only show from them I would consider buying if they released it on DVD is the Spider Man and his Amazing Friends, but not because it is great television, but because it holds great nostolgic value for me. It is maybe the first Saturday morning cartoon I remember outside of Looney Tunes.

I am not dogging all of Marvel's animated shows, but any I have seen have sucked eggs. I haven't seen many from the 90's tho, as I stopped watching alot of TV for quite a while and lost interest in animation for a few years as well, so I may have missed some good shows there, but for the most part, Marvels animated shows leave alot to be desired.

[James]

I hated the Racoons or whatever they were called. That cartoon seriously stunk.

[I.R Joey]

Yes the Avengers was that bad, like I said it looked like the grond was moving down when Ultron flys.

Anyone remember the 1st season of Iron Man, and how thet replayed the same transforming sequance (with the briefcase :rolleyes: ) and they where always fighting the Mandarin

The second season was incredible though, awesome.


"I AM IRON MAN!!!!"

*Moment of nostolgia*

BTW This also applies to the FF show.

[Calhoun07]

Anybody here get the Avengers animated comic book? I have the complete set, but have yet to sit down and read it. I think the complete set is like only 7 or 8 issues tho. It didn't last long.

[Dante Bunny]

first of all, who dat is talking that s*** about the Hist., we need to count that show a legend. Better yet we need to put some characters in some of the Cartoon Network shows, like Froggo and Aka Pella on "Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy", Froggo as a kid with a froggy voice and Aka as a sassy Afican-American girl, Pepper Mills, on "Dexter's Laboratory" as Dexter and Dee Dee's cousin (twice the trouble for Dexter), or maybe Charity Bazaar, on "Courage the Cowardly Dog", as Murel and Eustace's grandaughter, how about Lucky Bob, Loud Kiddington, and Cho-Cho, on "Johnny Bravo", as Little Suzy's best friends.


Here's my list of shows that really stinks


Hey Arnold- Too many darn stereo types!

Fairly Oddparents- A Dexter rip-off!

Invader Zim- I hated when Zim killed his first friend on that episode, when Zim finds him a best friend.

and ALL NICK TOONS (Except for Spongebob Squarepants)

Digimon- I referred Dragon Ball Z as the best cartoon.

Thank you for your time and please fell free to reply :D

[Lonestarr]

"Histeria" a legend?! To quote Buster Bunny, "What color is the sky in that little world of yours?". And putting Loud Kiddington and Lucky Bob on "Johnny Bravo"? Yeah, real intelligent, G.I., trying to kill a corspe. But, really, this is a silly thing to pick a fight over.

On the other hand, do you wish to explain your obviously drug-induced Nicktoon bashing?

[I.R Joey]

Histeria was very hit or miss IMO. Sometimes they just tried to hard, but other times when the writers really got going it was awesome.

As for Invader Zim and the Fairly Oddparents these shows are both great. Very innovative and funny.


BTW Explain how the Fairly odd parents in a Dexter rip? I can see their animation being similar (the creator of the show was one of Dexter's Directors, and some of the other people on the team probably worked on it), but other then that how.

[Dante Bunny]

Histeria is the first education ever on Kids WB!, and besides this is the show that help me with my GED for Social Studies and quote to Dee Dee on the episode of Dexter's Lab., The Koos is Loose, " You couldn't see air and you know that exsist." When I said all Nicktoons, I also said EXECPT Spongebob Squarepants, I love that show also I'm a Cartoon Network/Kids WB fan. I don't want to start any trouble around here.

Alright, Fairly Oddparents is not a Dexter rip-off, but I don't like that babysitter, Vicky. She doesn't have a kind side inside of her.

Wait! Stop! Okay, the animation was recycled in places it shouldn't have been recycled (wait for it...) in a small handfull of episodes, but Spiderman: TAS was great. Although if you're a big comic fan, you might find the story changes very odd. But they did Peter great!

That was one of the ones I missed! I said I wasn't dogging all of it!

[Nightwing]

Hehe, just making sure you didn't miss it, cuz I LOVED it.....until FOX took it off the air. Doh!!

But I just thought of something else as I read this thread.

DBZ is dragged on so they can keep up with their comic or what have you back at home, but the last time the Cell Saga aired, I watched an episode in which one of my favorite characters, Piccolo, was killed. I missed the next one, and when I came back to the one after that, Piccolo was walking around happy as a clam. I was like....wha??

That's probably the worst part of how they drag things. They drag and drag....then 10 things happen at once to advance the "story".....then they drag and drag.....

[mxyzptlk]

yeah i loved that spiderman series it had a great peter i used to come home every day and watch but eventually they ran out of episodes and i stopped getting fox kids another good marval cartoon was early 90s x-men evolutin sux though

[I.R Joey]

DBZ spoilers

Goku transports himself down there I think, and takes him to Korens for a sensu bean.

[James Harvey]

Hunh? I can't make out your post too good, Mxy, becuase there's no puncuation. Anyways, the early X-MEN series was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. The current X-MEN: EVOLUTION sries, whichhas some nice animation, is pretty bland compared to the original.

[DR. BELCH]

Well...I admit I'll sit through most anything. I guess I'm either sadistic or a born griper--if it's real bad I come here to crucify it mercilessly. I try to find good in everything, but some chozzerai taxes even my tolerance.
THE BROTHERS FLUB. I watched one episode and wanted to fart on my own head, set myself on fire, and throw myself off a bridge.
OH CANADA. Poor animation and senseless plots in their cartoons is another of many reasons I have to poke fun at Canada (including their bacon and their exhorbitant postal rates).
ROCKET POWER. I'm not a sports person, but on occassion I make the mistake of catching a few minutes of it. Even if a sports person, I'd probably hate it.
LAS LUCHADORES. Technically live-action, but belongs in the same category as Power Rangers, V.D.--I mean, V.R. Troopers, and any Saban costume melodrama that's heavy on gimmicks/explosions and thin on script.
COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG. I love dogs, but this one annoys me...and the farmer is pointlessly abusive towards him. Seems Muriel would divorce the old crabapple and leave him to rot in Nowhere. Not to mention the plots are pointless and absurd--mummies, zombies, evil cats and chickens, talking bananas and eggplants, and demons in a mattress?
SHEEP IN THE BIG CITY. A four year-old could do better artwork, and I don't understand how a sheep can power a ray gun. Plus the skits are just absurd and come totally out of left field. THe Ranting Swede is a bad parody of Paul Rugg's schtick.
THE ANIMATED THREE STOOGES CARTOON SERIES. Not a shining moment for three of comedy's greats--not to mention the precence of Curly-Joe DeRita, thought by Stooge fans to be the most bland and mediocre member. It suffered mostly from bad, flat animation and mediocre, silly scripts.
YOGI'S SPACE RACE. Two-dimensional characters and villians who are blatant rip-offs of Dastardly and Muttley, in a plot that's a bad adaptation of "Whacky Races". plus a three-year-old can tell the hero in white is really the villian in disguise--why not the heroes? Even the prizes the winners get are lame.

Rocky likes skin rags? Goody, goody...now I have someone to peruse the magazine racks at the mall with!http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/evil/evil3.gif I think I'll introduce her to Gallery, the magazine that paved my road to adolescence! Actually, I'm considering sending several of my short stories to them, plus Genesis, Playboy, and even a couple of the gay/lesbian rags...but if I do get published in one of them, what'll I tell my mother? There's the ultimate writer's quandry....

Yeah, I was the one who mentioned this.

Trust me, this will get worse later on. I was a big DBZ fan who just quit the show because they just kept dragging it on. Suspense is all well and good, but eventually you have to deliver the goods, and you have to deliver it while it is still being anticipated. I heard Toriyama wanted to end the show MUCH earlier, but the sponsors pestered him to keep it going, so he just kept phoning it in until people got sick of it. Of course, it would take 10 years before fans got sick of it, so Toriyama's 'sensory overload' plan failed to work for him. It's no wonder he's so quiet these days, and only does small works and video games.

Okay now it's war. :mad:

*Fetches full body armor suit and broadsword.*

The Brothers Flub was honestly not that bad, in fact I would even go on record as saying I loved it. The ice people ep where they where inside the one thing that tilts and makes snow fall, then the midevil one "You will now witness the most hillarious idiocy they world has ever known", and the one where they make a whole bunch of clones. Anyhow.


As for Sheep I still defend the innovation of that show to this day. The sheep powerd ray gun is not suppouse to make sense, the whole show is suppouse to be out in left field. And the random stuff they throw in there is great, it is very reminicent of Rocky and Bulwinkle (classic) Seriously you have to have a very quick eye to catch alot of its fast paced wit. Oh well you're entitled to an opinion and I respect that.

Raccoons just sunk heavy, dull teeth into my soul. Saturday mornings when their chirpy, irritating little stories came on I felt the urge to ram my head into the televison set.

[Nick Biped]

Anybody remember the cartoon "Ned's Newt"? God, I hated that show! I used to cringe every time that obnoxious, unfunny 500-pound blue newt showed up for no reason, and I wanted to throw a brick at my TV whenever he made one of his many "hilarious" pop-culture references. :rolleyes: It'd've been better if the show's other characters were more tolerable, but they weren't.

How about "Mega Babies"? I'm not sure if this cartoon aired outside of Canada, but I found this show to be another awful one. Pointless poo, fart, and barf jokes just for the sake of being gross. No thanks. :yawn:

Other shows I disliked: "Hammerman" (worst animation I've seen), "Bad Dog" (a cretinous dog causes trouble, whee), "Yvon of the Yukon" (unfunny, and couldn't've been more insulting to Canada if it'd've been made by someone that hated the country), and "Wishkid" (just a Macaulay Culkin vehicle). I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

We had Mega Babies here.It was on for like a month.Then it was scraped and was never seen again until like a year later without ALL the gross humor.It's even on DVD here!

Anaconda - I HATE that show!

Okay so you hated the show but you got to admit it was better the Anaconda.

Anyway Raccoons was very profitable which is all that matters from the eyes of studios :cool:

It'd've been better if the show's other characters were more tolerable, but they weren't.
The show had its moment though very few and far between.

"Doug"-If I wanted to see a kid suffering under the weight of school, bullies and all that hoo-hah, all I had to do was look in a mirror. Still, I saw every single episode...Golly, I was a glutton for punishment.

"Brand-Spanking New Doug"-Same crud...different network.

"Cow and Chicken" and "Catdog"-I'm banding these together if only for the reason that both have poor jokes and incredibly ugly animation ("Catdog", although it did stuff like a spoof of "The Warriors", didn't do much for me, while "Cow & Chicken" was just...ICK!)

"Dexter's Lab"-If I wanted to see a smart kid having his life ruined by a jerk sibling, I just had to look at a family photo (Okay, my home life isn't that bad, but still, you can't help but feel sorry for Dexter)

"Hey Arnold!"-The opening credits are what ruined this for me...What's the point of kids marching with determined looks on their faces in a city if none of them are carrying weapons? C'mon, Arn and Helga...break a few bones, why don't ya? HUZZAH!

That's it, really...the rest I pay no mind to.

I rarely watch that much TV...the only shows I watch with any regularity are the WWF programs, "SNL" and "Sesame Street". I'll watch the occasional rerun of "Alvin & The Chipmunks" (80s version) if I'm awake for it, "Saved By The Bell" if I'm awake for it. or "Miami Vice".

And that's the story...

Sincerely,

John "Captain Caps" Kilduff

Okay, one more vote for "Hammerman"!

[Meow]

It looks like this topic was raised from the dead, but it's an interesting thread so I guess that' s okay. ;) There are many many MANY bad cartoons, but I'll just name the one's I can remember right at this moment. And here they are, in no particular order.....

Rugrats

Scooby doo and all those other "spin off" scooby shows

Edd Ed n Eddy

Every old Hanna Barbara Cartoon. Some of the newer ones are alright....

Samari Jack- I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate this cartoon

Sonic the hedgehog - I don't remember much about this show, but I think Sonic had a green brother and a purple sister. MAN that show was STUPID!

I KNOW there's more, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Worst animated shows ever:

Banna-Man

Problem Child-The animated series

W.I.L.D Cats & Savage Dragon

Fantastic Max

Super Teddy

Tien, Char Siu, and Yamcha are swatted like flies. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku isn't ready, so he sends his ex-enemies Piccolo the mutant Vulcan and Vegeta the Goku lookalike (except he can do the laugh) to take off some more bad guy edge. Despite being roughly Goku's equals, they fail miserably. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself. Goku still isn't ready, so he sends Krillin/Krellin/Kuririn/Whatever, he of the bald head and sign of six on his forehead that would get him called evil if he lived in a Christian country, to see what he can do. Gohan is upset and twitches and wets himself, but K-man's cooler than any other character so Gohan tags along. Bad guy dusts them both. Goku is just about ready now, and good and steamed about how his friends got beat up at his insistance, and Mr. Bad is doing the laugh again, and Goku finally powers up, readies his attack, and...tune in tomorrow for the next thrilling installment."

That's as true as the sky is blue! That's the formula for EVERY DBZ episode. But you can't forget to mention the annoying commercial break just things start to happen.

[Dark Spider]

Here are mine in no particular order, some of these I used to hate when they were on, but as an older kid, I learned to appreciate them:

-My Little Pony
-TaleSpin (not any more though, I've learned to appreciate it)
-Street Sharks (Its been overplayed to death)
-Captain Planet (I literally get upset when this comes on)
- Evil con Carne (I calmed down from hating it, but still)
-As Told by Ginger (Pure crap)
-The Wild Thornberrys (I can't stand this show anymore)
-Racer Rabbit from Kablam (This cartoon needed to be burned to death)
-Conan the Adventurer (I used to hate it but its par now that I think about it)
-Transformers: 2nd Generation (I used to hate this show as a kid, but now I wish I can see it again)
-Beast Machines (Who didn't hate this series)

I can't think of anymore...

[DaphHime]

Dragon Ball Z It just gose on and on and on and on! That and the fact that the heros are stronger than the villans kinda makes it boring. I prefer shows where the heros are the underdog.

Anything with Scrappy Doo As a big fan of Scooby, I thoughy that SCrappy was a useless additon and runed a great show. Thank god for the DTVs! They saved the show.

Powerpuff Girls I know I'm going to get flamed for this. I just think that this show is overated.

South Park Not a big fan of shock. The Simpsons did it better.

Any Kalsky Cuspo show Rugrats, Thornberrys and the like. The animation is hiduous and the stories bland.

[Nickdisk]

some cartoons i think are the worse are:

Pokemon & Digimon - no reason really.. i dont really like cartoons like that (although, i do like cardcaptors)

Extreme Ghostbusters - it just wasnt that good IMO, they should have stuck to the origional characters from The Real Ghostbusters if they wanted to make another series

Any Disney Cartoon - basicly because i dont like Disney much, LOL

http://www.yesterdayland.com/images/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1219.jpg



I hated this show with a deep purple passion. Think "The Impossibles" in blackface and playing basketball. Coilie, Multi, and Fluie should contact Harvey Birdman and sue the you-know-what out of 'em.

Any Ruby-Spears cartoon- stupid jokes, worse animation, idiotic writing, UGH!

Cute-Puke Cartoons- Like My Little Pony, Rugrats (except for the pre-teen episodes, now those I could watch)

Toons that are used to sell toys- Pokemon, Digimon, ect...

Captian Plannet- Dirt worshippers. They rather save a tree than a person. They're the reason Califonia is having a power problem.

Johnny Neutron- DEXTOR'S LAB RIPPOFF!

More to be added soon...

[sun]

l. Pokeman The success of this one, changed the industry and TV toons forever...If they had made so much money on it, and if if did not cost so little to produce, we still might have a higher grade of animation. Pokeman is an insult to animation. There was something on TV 45 years ago, Clutch Cargo, all that really moved was his mouth and the other mouths..Made on the real cheap...Never thougth I'd see the likes of it again, but it looks like that is back permanently...
I think that we have all lost something because of the cheapening of toons...Something very special.

[sun]

I would like to comment on Histeria being on someones worst list. Of course, one opinion is as honest and truthful as another...We all respect that....Histeria in my opnion, was not a bad, or "worst" series......Some of the writing was excellent...Some of the music, and mixing of the music, was outstanding, specifically, the Emancipation Proclamation Hodown, and the piece, which shows the origin of war, where it starts with someone taking over another's piece of land, I think it was callled "Invasion Song" one of Napoleans favorites.. Richard Stoner did some fine work here...worst, means very very bad, and I cannot see "Histeria" as being in that catagory no matter how much one might hate Lord Loudington, or what ever his name is... When I went back thru the thread and saw that, I felt I just had to add my two cents, whatever it is worth...also, it was one of the last, if not the last, fully animated (or close to it) series to be on TV...I doubt you will see that any more.

I'm sure someone mentioned Butt Ugly Martians. Making shows that bad should be grounds for immediate incarceration.

It's Pokemon, not Pokeman. This show gets insulted so much, yet those who hate it can't even spell the name right

As for Histeria!- BBC2 have recently been showing it here at around 7:30 am. I've watched most of what they've shown and liked them. Loud Kiddington is annoying (I never have my TV on too loud, yet he's loud anyway >_< ). The show's also (obviously) very much focused on America. I don't have a problem with it, but since I'm in the UK most of what is said isn't much use to me. Current favourite line from it- "Look everyone, a scary dancing eyeball!" :D

[DarkMaster]

SuperDave made me laugh. it's not one of the worst cartoons ever made mad monkey. Anyone of those others mentioned is far worse than that.

Fuji was an awesome sidekick. :D I get it for you suuuuu...per dave

[Melon109]

Da Mob : the worst TV show I have ever seen
Angela Anaconda : another bad cartoon.

[Bluntman]

The worst cartoons I've ever seen have to be any Transformers series involving "Optimus Primal". Utter crap and a slap in the face to fans of the old series.

Next on my list have to be the Poke/Digicrap shows. My contempt for this crap can never be fully enleashed. God, kids are getting ripped on cartoons these days.

Last and not least has to be Captain Planet. It didn't make me want to save the globe. It made me want to crush it to spare us all from that stupid show.

[Nickdisk]

ahh, i forgot to add the Butt Ugly Martions to my list :p its not even a proper Nicktoon (it aired in the UK on another channel months before Nick USA aired it) :yawn:

also, another one to add to my list is "The Country Mouse & City Mouse", its the most boring cartoon of all time IMO :yawn:

You do realize that the majority of fans of the original Transformers also like Beast wars, don't you? Beast Wars had better writing, more consistent animation, and three dimensional characters. At the very least Beast Wars Megatron was competent and Optimus Primal had a personality, which is more than I can say of their namesakes. The original was campy fun, but its successor is superior in nearly every way.

[song cycle]

I'm going to have to second the 'Ghostbusters' show from the 80's as the absolute worst cartoon ever made. Not 'The Real Ghostbusters' mind you (which is unbelievably underrated, I loved this show as a kid, the wit of that series is true to the original movie all the way, the only unlikable element of that show was 'slimer' imo), but the 'fake' ghostbusters, where there was a talking bone tv, an ape of some sort..man just thinking about watching this show so many years ago brings back the nausea I felt as a kid watching it back then..

i only remember 2 Ghostbuster cartoons.. the Real Ghostbusters & the Extreme Ghostbusters.. were there others?

[Dark Spider]

There was a cartoon just called the "Ghostbusters" that wasn't based on the movie and it just sucked. Then the "Real Ghostbusters" came on and it didn't suck that much. Its called the Real Ghostbusters so you'll be able to differentiate between the 2 ghostbusters cartoons. Plus the "Real Ghostbusters" is based off the movie which would make it the REAL deal.

As for the Extreme Ghostbuster, that sucked more than the Crappy Ghostbusters cartoon.

[GL2k2]

I think they're talking about the stupid Ghostbusters that the Ghostbusters name originated from. Ghostbusters was a serial in the 30's or 40's I believe. Then the cartoon had a blond guy, an ape, a blue alien looking chick and I believe some fat guy. They fought this villian all the time, with a black cape and this one henchman was called "fallapart" he was a skeleton that did his titular duty whenever he got scared.

Wow, I didn't know that, but it sounds kind of cool.

The cartoon I don't get is Scooby and Scrappy. I know that cartoons are meant to be "unreal", but that cartoon has no cohesion whatsoever. I watch it sometimes when I'm home (it comes on after Pup Named Scooby, which is just pure idiocy), and it's like a bad trip. It absolutely makes NO sense.

I know which one you're talking about. One of the characters wore a plunger as a hat didn't he? But I think that there is yet another one. One that came out after the movie, but before the "Real Ghostbusters." I know I saw it, I just can't remember anything about it. Except that it sucked.

[MJC]

Some I hate are...

Scooby Doo- The most overrated cartoon EVER. And people say DBZ is repetitive...

Cow & Chicken- Too stupid for it's own good...

Sheep in the Big City- See above...

Hey Arnold- Rampant stereotypes...

Superfriends- Not an ounce of personality between any of them

Ed, Edd, and Eddy- horrible animation and plot

Here is my list:
The Gary Coleman Show. As much as I liked the idea he was DEAD, seeing him fly around as an angel and that series was entirely too painful.

Gilligan's Planet. If only the Harlem Globetrotters had built a space ship also to add a touch of class to this show.

Mr T. This one lasted three seasons. THREE SEASONS. God, in heaven, what was going on in the 80's????

Rubik the Amazing Cube. I guess I can't get all negative about this one. It holds a place in history of being perhaps the only animated series based on a PUZZLE. Oh, yeah, whenever I was trying to get that friggin thing to have one side at least one color, I was thinking, Man I would love to see this toy come alive as a CARTOON!

David the Gnome. This list was supposed to be five when I started out then I remembered this one and had to extend it. A gnome named David voiced by Tom Bosley (Wait Til Your Father Gets Home fame, of course). What better combination could you ask for?

A Pup Named Scooby. As if Scrappy wasn't enough torment!

My Pet Monster. I have to pet your
WHAT?????

Super Globetrotters. The first series was so great, why not do a spin off? Surely, this will be just as good! I will just post the picture and let you make your own caption.


http://www.yesterdayland.com/images/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1219.jpg

Blackstar. I hated this show as a kid but watched it every week. I was WEAK, I tell you, weak! This show ripped off every sci fi convention you could think of. Possibly the worst sci fi animated series ever.

Hulk Hogan's Rock and Roll Wrestling! All I can hope for now that current govenor of Minnesota Jesse Vetura gets his own animated series.

What are you talking about the 80s had ausome cartoons.

Number Four!: DarkStalkers...Sonnuva! (US "animated")
Number Three!: Mortal Kombat...ARGH
Number Two!: Street Fighter (US "animated") didn't think the movie could be toppled in it's uber-crappiness

*drumroll*

And THE worst cartoon of all time: Makoto the siren.... hoooooly CRAP! (super old anime) how did any tv station aired that piece of B.S. without being flamed to their ***** will be a mystery to me... >.o¡¡¡

[GL2k2]

Ahhhh, Defenders of the Earth is the series you're talking about. Yeah, that was interesting, can't say it was the worse or not, haven't seen it since it aired. This one had Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Mandrake the Magic, and some Token black guy as usual who they made up for the series. Yep, it sucked. I can't even remember if Ming the Merciless was in it. That's one of the reasons Flash Gordon is hard to find, Ming has been banned as well for being offensive to Asians. This was made back during WW2 of course.

And he gives a hyper performance that's wonderful to watch and was the defining moment in me coming to like "Brock's" replacement simply because I got to see the original version first. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Seki,+Tomokazu


Oh, and he's done some animes with SEIOUSLY yaoi undertones...Gravitation, Descendents of the Dark, Weiss Kreuz....VERY good actor though, one of my favorites.

And as for worst cartoon:

::sets copies of every episode of Butt Ugly Martians on the ground, whips out a bigass mallet and smashes the tapes into little smithereens::

It's the KIDS they mad up.

And yes, Ming DID show up. Dont get me wrong, the show still sucked. But I did rather like the opening music. And it's Mandrake the MagicIAN. ;)

[Skiptastic]

I see too many Cow and Chickens on these lists. That show is funny as heck and I'm not gonna stand for it!

[GrayGhost]

I would like to point out that "The Real Ghostbusters" are not really the REAL ones.

Here is what happened.

In the 70s Filmation had a live action show called the Ghost Busters. They owned the rights to the Ghostbuster name, etc.

Then, Dan Acroyd started to do his Ghostbusters movie in the 80s. Filmation sued them. They ended up settling out of court (Filmation got a lotta $$$), but Filmation would not give up the cartoon rights.

So, Filmation revamped their live action show into a cartoon (I liked it). So, when they did the cartoon for the movie, that had to put something else on it, which is why they did "The Real Ghostbusters" and putting "Slimer" in the title and such.

I liked both cartoons, Filmation's just a little bit more. The whole transformation sequence was awesome.

Anyway, I just HATE when people think that Filmation tried to rip off the movie.

Now, to my top 10 of suckie cartoons:

1. Dragon Ball Z
2. Dragon Ball
3. Gundam Wing
4. Batman Beyond
5. Superman part of new Batman/Superman Adventures
6. Catdog
7. Flintstones (and all spin-offs)
8. Loony Tunes
9. Cow and Chicken
10. Swat Cats

[GL2k2]

Okay, to D. Shaffer, yes I was just assuming about that character. I had no idea he was actually THE First Black "Crimefighter". Cool. As I said, I hadn't watched that series in over a decade.

For Gray Ghost, this I do know. There was a serial called Ghostbusters back in the serial age. It did only feature a fat guy and a skinny guy chasing ghost for money. But my knowledge of this is sketchy, it could be one film or a couple, or may have been a Laurel and Hardy movie for all I know. But I do remember Bill Murray saying in an interview where the Ghostbusters name came from and I don't remember any 70's series, but again I could be wrong. But you are right, the Filmation Ghostbusters had the rights to the name before the Ghostbusters.

Also, SWAT Kats was one of the best series of all time. Can I convince you to take it off in exchange for Samurai Pizza Cats or Space Cats maybe?

[Tintin]

For my part, i liked which i am a kid Smurfs and Raccoons... overcoat on french. (The Smurfs's french versions are at my opinion the original version because it's based on the European Comic)

Ok, my worst shows are:

Daily Fables - It's probaly the worst cartoon ever i watched. No only it's the puppets, but the owl of this show are very ugly. :eek: :eek:

Pokémon - Very bad show, too for 0-5 kids.

Mon Colle Knights - That's a pure copy of "Pokémon", but much best.

I have never heard of the serial from the 30s or 40s. Of course Bill Murray wouldn't say that they got the name from the 1970s series (starring Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch and yes there was a guy in an ape suit in it. The cartoon is about these Ghostbuster's children) because there was a law suit going on.

The 70s series ran a very short time. I think it only had about 15 or so episodes. Here is a nice write up about the live action series and cartoon (both were produced by Filmation. They did live action stuff also). http://www.protoncharging.com/ghostbusters/fgb.shtml

As for Swat Cats... sorry... it was so horrid when it would be the only cartoon one... I was forced to watch... ahhh my eyes. Which reminds me I think that Pirates of Dark Water was on after it. Another horrid piece of AHHH hurting my eyes. :cool: :D

[Anarky]

The Ghostbusters--no, not the REAL Ghostbusters--the one with the ape. Barf.

Crazy8s stole my thunder. I remember that bootleg Ghostbusters!!!

someone mentioned the Rubix Cube series. Anyone remember Q-bert's cartoon?

How about Street Sharks?
Spider-Man Unlimited was hoooooooooooorrible (my Bill Walton impersonation)
FOX's Avengers was lame, as was the Mask Silver Surfer, & The Savage Dragon.

I hate that Evolution program on FOX, as well as Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Cardcaptors, Dragonball, DBZ, and the FOX Transformers. I hope Armada isn't that bad.

And what about the Go-BOTS? Clearing riding the coattails of TF Gen 1. Battle of the Lame: Bumblebee vs. Scooter. That battle ends when Megatron intervenes and caps 'em both!!!

Disney has had their share of bad series: Goof Troop, Marsupalami, Bonkers...

and how about the girlie toons: My Little Pony, Care Bears, Monchichis...

oh, and TMNT didn't end it's run on a high note: those last seasons on CBS were brutal.


OH: Scooby Doo and the Ghost Chasers? I think it had Scoob, Scrappy, Daphne, Shaggy, and some kids chasing after these spirits. The Scooby and Scrappy show sucked too. Why did they "fire" Fred & Velma???

i think Robo-Cop had a bad series.
the Sabrina show does suck.

i'm shocked Saved by the Bell didn't get the ani-treatment.

ok, i'm fine now.

[GL2k2]

I remember the Disney series that aired after Goof Troop with Donald Duck. that was terrible. The nephews were older and it was way worse than Goof Troop and I hated Goof Troop. I kinda liked Marsupilami and Bonkers, simply because they are new characters and stories and some of them were actually pretty well written.

Please, people, those Ghostbusters were not a bootleg! If anything the MOVIE was a bootleg! Hense why they got sued!

1970s show The Ghostbusters by Filmation:
http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1061.php
The "bootleg" cartoon as you call it was based on the tv show, Filmation owned the rights to the name.

Filmation's Original Ghostbusters
http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1297.php

These were not a bootleg. Was it made to cash in on the success of the movie? Yes. But a bootleg - no. They are actually the originals.

Say hello to Jake, Tracy, and Eddie - The Ghostbusters.

I think you are thinking of Quack Pack. Which, I agree sucked the big one along with Goof Troop. I also could not stand Bonkers, but could, much like you said, tolerate it.

Hey! I thought the Pirates of Dark Water was was the best show Hanna Barbera ever did. Semi-continuous plot, fun characters, and the villain's ship ate other ships! :D

Nobody here recalls the late 80s? I'm unfortunate enough to remember the M.C. Hammer cartoon. And the New Kids on the Block cartoon. And the Macaulay Culkin cartoon. Fortunately, all of these were mercifully short-lived.

The Donald Duck show you're reffering to, Quack Pack was horrible, yes. When it first aired, I expected it to be a modern DuckTales, but its comedic pacing, recycled plots, and boring characterizations were just... boring. As for Goof Troop, I could stand to watch an episode of it---unlike QuackPack---but I never truly liked it much. Bonkers' premise was boring, but it ended up being executed well, at points. I expected the Roger Rabbit-esque tone to be a bit more rewarding, though.

By the way, Marsupilami was not entirely a new character; it was inspired by a comic strip character from the early-to-mid 1900s.

[Kuro-Neko]

i know this thread is very old but here's mine:

Jabberjaw-this show is so gay
Scooby & Scrappy-'Poopy & Crappy'
Butt-ugly martians-don't even need to say anything
Rocket power-sooo uncool
Sheep in the big city-sorry all you sheep fans
Loony Tunes-they grate on my nerves like hell
IM weasel-there are good cartoons with gross humor and there are bad ones..this one's a bad one
Mike,Lu & Og-rather watch barney
Rugrats-they need to retire already
2 stupid dogs-stupid is putting it lightly
Dexter's Laboratory-the current ones are HORRIBLE!

[Darkzeid]

Part IV-The Final Chapter :D

Quack Pack
The 13 Ghosts Of Scooby Doo
Gobots
Street Sharks
Mortal Kombat
Street Fighter
Spider Man Unlimited
Turbo Teen
Bonkers
Kid N Play
Wish Kid
The first season of Iron Man

[Thundercleese]

Celebrity Deathmatch(I think it's considered a cartoon)- It's just clay people tearing each other's guts out and severing limbs...wow

Butt Ugly Martians- Need i say more?

Mike, Lu, and Og- The same thing on every episode. No humor in it at all.

Pilot Cantidate- I can't believe no ones mentioned this.

Looney Toons- Every episode is the same. Theres a hunter..somewheres along the lines a bunny plants a kiss on him..."Hunters is the cwwwwwaziest peoples". Beep beep. You're dispicable. Blah Blah etc. etc.

Rocket Power- It's just gay

Space Ghost(not the talk show)- No action at all, and corny puns.

Thundercats- Just too corny for me

Animaniacs- Blah....

Seelab 2020not the AS one)- It was just boring.

[Behonkiss]

Please, please, PLEASE don't kill me for what I'm about to say.

I think all Disney shorts, all non-Tex Avery MGM shorts, and all Looney Tunes up till when Daffy arrived are horrendous(OK, I thought "I Love to Singa" was funny, but only because the part where Owl Jolson sneaks jazz into his classical singing was funny, and because of that wonderfully random South Park scene with the song.). They and Space Jam are probably the reasons that it can be considered embarrassing to be an adult LT fan. They rely on nothing but nonstop cuteness and fluff, and are among the worst animated trash I've ever seen. I wish CN wouldn't show them.

Again, sorry.

Now to ones others can agree on:

BUM- Bad story, characters, CGI, etc. And get this: Not only are Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell the voices of two of the Martians(It's pretty obvious), but in an interview they said it was an absolute blast doing the show. Has its suckiness warped their minds?

Here's another one to make people angry: Because the only one I ever saw regularly as a kid was A Pup Named Scooby-Doo(Which is just OK, but a masterpiece compared to anything else Scooby besides the OK newer video movies.), and the only one that is still remotely clever is The Flintstones, I really hate everything else Hanna-Barbara's done. Thank God Boomerang let all that crap be taken off. I do credit them and Jay Ward with starting animated TV, though.(But at least Jay's shows were brilliant.)

Anime I hate are ALL magical girl anime(Seriously, I can't see why people love them so much. They are utter crap.), Medabots, Fox Transformers, Mon Colle Knights...Hell, all Fox Kids anime but Digimon, and of course, Pilot Candidate, which holds my vote as worst anime ever.

Every Sonic show but the one based on the cartoon, which was great.

The Zelda cartoon.(I still think the Mario ones are good.)

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY.(Uuuggghhh...eerrmm.....I REALLY wanted to kill someone after seeing my favorite SNES games made into this.)

Weird-Ohs(Crappy Mainframe series that was on Fox Family for a short period. Really stupid, and REALLY ugly characters.)

All cartoons Fox/ABC Family shows but Digimon.

All of DIC's stuff(Sorry, but looking back, I can see even Inspector Gadget was crap.)

Disney Doug.

All cartoons on Nick. Jr, because they teach nothing(Except Little Bill, which is actually realistic.)

Every Nicktoon still being produced but Fairly Oddparents.(It's really sad that after Zim's gone, I'm only going to have one show on Nick that I liked, as opposed to when I liked over half of them a while ago.)

Most later Ren and Stimpy episodes.(Here's hoping John K's got the touch still for the new episods.)

TIME SQUAD. Even though Mark Hamill's great as Larry and Rob Paulsen's OK as Tuddrussel, I have to say that Pamela Segall Adlon, a normally great actress, gives her WORST and most ANNOYING role ever as Otto.(Seriously. She screams every single line. I wish Otto didn't exist, the show would be a lot more tolerable, but still bad.)

Season 3 Dexter.(WHAT HAPPENED?!)

Some post-Partible Johnny Bravo episodes.(I usually like the show, but some are just idiotic. Oh, and sorry, but I hated Jungle Boy.)

The newer episodes of Pokémon.(I've always been a fan, but 19 out of 20 episodes are pure filler now. I wish they would just cut to the chase, but now most of it is crap.)

And finally, though there are certainly more: CUBIX, CUBIX, CUBIX.(My reaction to Cubix's first word being 'friend': ".......................WHAAAAAAAAT??!!!!??!")

[Allen's Nickname.]

Season 3 Dexter.(WHAT HAPPENED?!)

Genny went to work on Samurai Jack. Chris Savino took over. I accually like them.

[Sharklady]

> I think all Disney shorts, all non-Tex Avery MGM shorts, and all Looney Tunes up till when Daffy arrived are horrendous... <

Prehaps, but animation was in a much earlier stage of development back then, so I'm not sure it's fair to judge 'em by modern standards. You don't blame toddlers for their inability to walk like adults, do you?

In contrast, I can think of some relatively recent efforts that have no excuse whatsoever. Speaking of which: to have any credibility with me, any Ten Worst Cartoons list *must* include 'The Brady Kids.' Awful, awful, awful!

[DR. BELCH]

If one wants to claim early Warners cartoons were inferior, you have to consider the Hayes Office--they also killed Fleischer's output--and Leon Schlesinger, who I feel clipped Avery's wings a lot early on. Cutesy stuff and "nice mice"--feh. Ol' Tex didn't hit his stride until his MGM and '50s-era Lantz days, for my money.

Has anyone mentioned Gene Dietch and Chuck Jones' Tom and Jerry work? Dietch's stuff, though maybe he's considered a genius in Poland (insert bad ethnic joke here), was loud and nightmarish, and Jones seemed to have lost some of his golden touch post-Warners....

You hate them because you're male. But back in the 80s, those shows, along with Rainhbow Brite, Wonder Woman, and She-Ra were the only things girls had to look forward to, because TV wanted to pander to you instead of us and wouldn't give us any decent heroes. So you may despise them, but I grew up on them.

I would have killed for anything like Sailor Moon when I was a kid! I knew the animation in shows like She-Ra was pretty bad, along with the plotlines, but I didn't care. They were strong girls, and they were my heroes. ;)

Thank you for your time and please fell free to reply :D

But I *love* Helga from Hey Arnold, the sole reason I watch the show. I don't think she's a stereo-type, and I think it is a good, gentle, positive show for kids. Even I enjoy the story lines.

I don't think that the Fairly Oddparents are a Dexter rip-off, although there are some similarities in character desings. I love the weird voice acting in it.

But that's just my two-cents. ;)

Yeah, that's Quack Pack alright. They air that on Toon Disney along with Goof Troop and Bonkers.

Man, now that you mention it...I miss Marsupilami...they used to show it on Toon Disney about a year ago, and now it's gone :(

[Sunset Girl]

Hmmm. . . the New Kids on the Block cartoon has been mentioned, and so has Bonkers. :eek:

But what about Problem Child?! I think it was a USA Network cartoon. Worst animation I've ever seen, 100 times worse than the likes of Wish Kid.

And let us not forget the Punky Brewster cartoon with her magical Glomer sidekick. Help me, I can still hear the themesong!

I'm really surprised nobody has yet mentioned the Fred Wolf (?) remake of Speed Racer from the 90's. God-awful.

Still, there has to be more. . .

~Karen (na otome no porishii)

[KidBlob]

I know I may get flamed for this, but I just have to say: Codename Kids next door is one of the unfunniest cartoons ever. I'm talking "Cow & Chicken" unfunny. I mean, don't get me wrong, I gave it a chance seeing how popular it was I figured I wanted to see what I was missing. What a regret. The jokes and humor were mega-lame, so were the "devices" they used.....

....God, and you people think Rescue Heroes are LAME?!?!? :rolleyes:

I mean I know it's different, as KND is deliberately trying to be ridiculous, but they overshoot in the worst way.

And don't think I reached this verdict after watching one episode. No. I actually gave it a generous chance and watched 5. And out of the 5, I only laughed once: This episode where the KND try to take down a crazy old lady in the neighborhood who keeps thousands of cats, she controls them like the Venom symbiote and assembles a massive Transformer-like creature around her made entirely of cats. And when the KND would knock a limb off it, the cats would form a new one. Watching that...man, that was funny!! I was rolling!! But sadly, that was it. And one particular moment out of 5 entire episodes??? Not particularly good odds.

.....*sigh* There. I finally said it :sweat:

[WildNmild79]

I think KND, Cow & Chicken, the Fairly Oddparents, Edd Ed and Eddy, CatDog, Nightmare Ned (not only did the show bite, but it was the one who replaced GARGOYLES. IT REPLACED GARGOYLES!!!!!) all should be granted a place in the history of suckdom. They all seem to believe that sheer ridiculousness equates (or replaces) actual humor. Doesn't fool me.

[Merrytoon]

I doubt this is EVER because I havn't seen everything (I can never bear to watch more than 10 minutes of any form of anime, so although I think most forms of anime are god-awful, I haven't included any)

10.Rocket Power
9.Powerpuff Girls
8.G.I. Joe
7.Jimmy Neutron
6.Dexter's Laboratory
5."New" Ren and Stimpy
4.Edd Ed and Eddy
3.Disney Doug
2.All forms of Scooby Doo
1.Baby Looney Tunes ::barf::

[DarkMorphmon]

The worse cartoon, IMO, have to be cartoons like Teamo Supremeo, Fairly Oddparents, and other pourly drawn, cliched plotted, snore feasts you could see done better in so many other shows.

BTW, I'm new here, so don't chew me out so soon.

[tucsoncoyote]

Alright since I gave my Best Top 10 Saturday shows, here are perhaps what I call "The Bottom 10, and this time it's not just Satudays, it's any day.

So let's go to the tape..

10. Fighting Foodons, Sorry to say this one is near the bottom of the List, but This Particular Fox show really tanked with the idea that was sort of like a Food Fight version of Pokemon, and believe me this one Really wasn't great.. They could have done something Else..(Iron Chef this show is not!)

9. Tranzor Z anyone Remember Tranzor Z? A Japanese Import that was out the roughyl the same time as Voltron? No? Well here was a badly drawn show that was soooo bad, that the Transformers could have really done better. and then of course if you think that one was bad.. the Next one up the List was worse.

8 Mighty Orbots here's another really obscure idea that used the Voltron Craze, in fact this idea really was so bad, it's amazing Voltron that came out 5 years later got recognition, and I think the silliest name came for one of the bots.. Tor.. come on who would name a robot Tor? that's like saying Voltron was a godsend but if you think Robots were bad....

7. Dinosaucers was worse.. More problems with this DIC animated piece of trash, and in fact Alien Talking Dinosaurs that were intelligent really shot this show down fast, even though you had kids in the mix..(And you wonder why the asteroid killed of the dinosaurs?)

6. Pole Position Sorry Folks but this was one of those supposed arcade classics that Never did work, in fact it should never have been produced. It's idea is almost so Cheesy, the live action show Knight Rider got a bad rap from that show.

5. Hero High.. Superfriends Rocked, while this idea of Live Action and Animation Tanked, and besides, doing a mix of the two was an insane look at Heros in General, and some of the heros were more villain then hero..

4. Lassie's Rescue Rangers Come on We all love Lassie, that's a given. But the Animated Series of the 70's just Reeked.. it's not that Lassie couldn't act, it was the rest of the show..From the Humans to the Animals..And how could the animals communicate with each other, they're Different species.. and the Mountain lion was the Lamest idea to come down the pike and speaking of Bowsers...

3. Disney's Teacher's Pet.. THe animation was lousy, the writing was lousier, and the concep was just down right so bad, this show about an Intelligent talking dog, that goes to school disguised as a human, just was ridiculous at best, and Dump at worst...

2. New Kids on the Block/ Hammerman/Kid N Play (Tie)(Okay these three shows gives MUSIC groups and singers just a plain bad name.. For example New Kids on the Block may have knew how to sing, but frankly the Translation over to animation just was sucky.. and Hammerman? Great Singer, Lousy superhero type.. Sorry Just wasn't MC Hammers greatest show, no wonder he went south fast.. and Then Kid N Play.. if they had Made a show called Milli Vanilli, Kid N play was animated so bad, you could have said this show was lipsynching.. in fact I hope they never make any more Rock Star shows .

and finally...

1. Teamo Supremo / Pepper Ann (Another Tie) These two shows were so Poorly conceived, that Teamo Supremo was just plain stupd. In fact, it was more then Stupid.. It was Oxymoronic, espeically the end credits where we have everyone dancing.
Pepper Ann, The Opening theme was like a Cat getting slaughtered, Pepper's High whiny voice was Grating, and the plots were so inconceivably flat.. that it makes you wonder why Disney is even still in business today.. Frankly if they make another show that is so uncreative, I'll scream.. no really I will, At least maybe we can put Pepper Ann Pierceson out of her misery..

and that's my Bottom 10, frankly if they ever make a show that is so bad, then believe me, we're scraping the bottom of the Barrel.

:coyote:

[Jeff Ladd]

Guess you all never heard of Mighty Herculies or The Adventures of The Wizard Of Oz. Or Dick Tracy.

[homagos]

We always talk about out favorite cartoons on these boards, but what about the bottom ten you'd rather have your eyes gouged out than to see again?

Here is my list:
The Gary Coleman Show. As much as I liked the idea he was DEAD, seeing him fly around as an angel and that series was entirely too painful.

Gilligan's Planet. If only the Harlem Globetrotters had built a space ship also to add a touch of class to this show.

Mr T. This one lasted three seasons. THREE SEASONS. God, in heaven, what was going on in the 80's????

Rubik the Amazing Cube. I guess I can't get all negative about this one. It holds a place in history of being perhaps the only animated series based on a PUZZLE. Oh, yeah, whenever I was trying to get that friggin thing to have one side at least one color, I was thinking, Man I would love to see this toy come alive as a CARTOON!

David the Gnome. This list was supposed to be five when I started out then I remembered this one and had to extend it. A gnome named David voiced by Tom Bosley (Wait Til Your Father Gets Home fame, of course). What better combination could you ask for?

A Pup Named Scooby. As if Scrappy wasn't enough torment!

My Pet Monster. I have to pet your
WHAT?????

Super Globetrotters. The first series was so great, why not do a spin off? Surely, this will be just as good! I will just post the picture and let you make your own caption.


http://www.yesterdayland.com/images/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1219.jpg

Blackstar. I hated this show as a kid but watched it every week. I was WEAK, I tell you, weak! This show ripped off every sci fi convention you could think of. Possibly the worst sci fi animated series ever.

Hulk Hogan's Rock and Roll Wrestling! All I can hope for now that current govenor of Minnesota Jesse Vetura gets his own animated series.
I think "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was actually pretty funny, it made me belly-laugh quite a bit (still does). Should have mentioned G.I. Joe (or any cartoon that's just an extended toy commercial, for that matter... Rainbow Bright, My Little Pony, etc.), Turbo Teen, Godzilla (either series), Police Academy (gagg... *uh-uh* WRETCHHHH- gulp... *whoo*--hwwWWWAAARRFFF..!!!), The Snorks. But I absolutely agree with all your other choices, Mr. T. is almost as bad as Police Academy.
Also I'd like to say anything Disney (except, maybe the first Aladdin) has NO PERSONALITY. I want to see Bugs Bunny drop an anvil on Mickey Mouse.
:bosko: :moon:

[JellicleCat1965]

Here's my list of the 10 worst cartoons ever made(the last time I'll post the toons I hate):

Seriously-why were those cheaply-animated shows even made?no plots..cheap,shoddy animation..characters with no personalities whatsoever.Whatver happened to the GOOD shows like Lassie's Rescue Rangers,Funky Phantom,Atom Ant,Monchichis and all the other good shows of the 60s-80s?Even Yo,Yogi was better than the shows I listed.The only cartoons I will watch are the Disney character cartoons,Dexter's Lab and anime.The rest of the time,I watch my Disney park documentaries(courtesy of the Extinct Attractions Club),play Sims 1 or Sims 2,,go on the virtual pet sites,or do housework/yardwork.

[Teknomancer]

[veemonjosh]

I can't think of ten right now, but let's just say Butt Ugly Martians would be REALLY high up there, if not number 1.

Edit: And let's not forget Action Max, the first show I ever hated (and trust me, I hated it as much as I could. (and going into a toy store in New York City with a GIANT Action Max sign on the side of it really annoyed me back then...))

I hate those shows as well; but not because they have bad animation, I hate them because they have bad plots, stories and jokes.

P.S. If you hate bad animation that much, I suggest staying away from "Kappa Mikey" or any show done by Animation Collective.

I agree with most of these choices, but GOLLY! This thread is half a century old. :eek:

I have one show to add....only one, to this list of pure opinion, I add a truly bad show. It premiered September 1, 1998. Possibly the saddest moment for a series in animation history.

The dark day the beloved Emmy award winning Pinky and The Brain became....

Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain - What, what could they possibly have been thinking? Did Spielberg have a hand in the decision? Who gave the green light? Why hasn't he been tortured to death? Who was the total sadistic a-hole whole made the whole thing happen anyway? Why didn't somebody scream "NO! WHAT A HORRIBLE IDEA!!! MY LIFE HAS NO MEANING! WE ARE KILLING ART! WE MUST STOP THIS MONSTROSITY!!!" During any point of any of the 13 episodes, from the writing to the story boarding, to the painting, to the post-production? Why? Why? Why?

Pinky And The Brain. My personal favorite short and I'm not alone in that opinion, during animanaics, which spun off into a fantasic series of it's own. It was a wonderus show. It did NOT deserve to be be treated that way. What they essentially did to the loved show: they threw a rock in it's face, set it on fire, and anally raped it without lube. It's a tragic thing.

Why does it always have to end in tears?

[Wonderwall]

- Scooby Doo cartoons....all of em
- Angela Anaconda...my god
- Donkey Kong Country - I was horrified that one of my fav games from my youth was so horribly butchered
- Super Dumo Sumos or whatever it was called - I couldnt stand more than 10 seconds
- Yogi Bear, Snaggle Puss, Huckleberry Hound cartoons- These retarded characters either lived together or shopped together cuz they all wore the same thing. Either way they were really gay
- Jumanji - Why was there a cartoon? The movie wrapped things up nicely so why did Robin Williams' character still hairy and living in the board game?
-Camp Candy - Poor John Candy...he didnt deserve this

[Scythemantis]

So...do you guys realize this is a thread from 2002?

That was bumped once in 2004?

Why are we bumping this every two years?

[Cobblepot1982]

I know very well of Filmations' GhostBusters...but I thought that Filmation actually sued around '85 or '86, when Columbia/TriStar wanted DIC to do a cartoon? I thought that, for the film, they paid Filmation a royalty?

And then royalty issues happened with Filmation- why, you ask? Well, because they figured "hey, with Ghostbusters FINALLY a big name market, we can finally cash in, and we DO have legal rights to the name". Heh..ye-hea...that got 'em laughin' all the way to the bank...hehehehehehe..

Anyway, here're my top choices: many of which have already been said:

Alvin and the Chipmunks- I KNOW ya loved it as a kid...try watching it now...and I hope how much you ENJOY HOW THEY PUT THE EMPHASIS ON EVERY FREAKIN' WORD THEY SAY!

Muppet Babies- again, try watching it now. It's just really, really painful. You wonder half the time WHY Scooter has a sister now, and Animal is NOT funny as a sober baby. Fozzie's not funny here- NONE of them are...they WERE funny in their film debut( Muppets take Manhattan), though...well, more cool, nostalgically, then funny.

The Littles- here's one I can EASILY explain why it's so bad. It's BEYOND "squeaky clean". Just think "Andy Griffith Show"- cartoon '80s style. Does it hurt yet?

Hammerman- I know it's been mentioned, but no one will ever live it down, and understandably so. Whoever approved that abomination of animation should be shot

Camp Candy- maybe when the legendary John Candy was taken from us back in '95, he was being punished for putting this out. I didn't MIND it as a little kid, but when I got older it was just a sad sack of...well ya know..

Slimer( 15-minute short from Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters)- bad. just flat-out awful. cheezy dumbed-down animation, lousy writing- did I mention the torturous Junior Ghostbusters were regular cast-members? Did I ALSO happen to mention the 15 minute shorts only aired one season, and NO network will EVER dare to re-air it? For THAT I gotta give 'em some credit.

Histeria- wow, even public school treated me as a smarter individual than this show did. Sorry, I'm not convinced that Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus EVER somehow resembled Sylvester Stallone or Joe Pesci. And the musical numbers..it's times like those you have to PRAY that Ashley Simpson's schedule is open( yes, that IS meant to be taken in a certain way).

Fraggle Rock- ah, the live show was AMAZING. Great musical numbers, MIND-BLOWING use of puppetry and electronic engineering...SO WHAT HAPPENED HERE? I find it hard to believe that Jim Henson was THIS hard up on cash to be willing to sign THIS into existence.

Henson Company, take note: when you're doing the live-show, a fantasy world is cool because it shows what you're capable of doing with technology and puppetry- and you did it amazingly. Cartoons have already been doing this since day-one. So it's not impressive- it's just lame, been done...and sadly in this case, you even made it PAINFUL to watch.

Oh Canada- oh god. Well, if this is the best Canada has to offer, um...hehehe( j/k), but seriously- guys, here's something you may not know: Cartoon Network eventually had to change the commercial for the show...because of me. I hate to sound like I have a swelled head, but hear me out: the commercial said "the best from Canada"- and I made them change it due to "false advertising". They changed it to "ok not the best, and not the most amazing- but they are from Canada". Granted, I was an angry teen back then for some reason, but I got the job done :D

Captain Planet- ah, every stoner hippie's propoganda dream come true. Aaaaand now thanks to this idiot...well, that one other guy already mentioned about California...I'd like to chime in that we're not digging for oil and well, we know the results with oil prices. THANKS, CAPTAIN PLANET!

Back to the Future- GREAT movie trilogy. Absolutely PAINFUL cartoon series. And WHY OH WHY did Christopher Lloyd sign his voice off on this one? I mean..how hard up for cash WAS he?

Cubix- thank you....thank you so much for reminding me of this mind-throbbing insult to my intelligence. On the bright side, I never had enough time for it to liquify my brain, as I found it so bad, I couldn't even sit thru more than 5 minutes of even the debut episode.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure- take a PG rated movie series that does well with teen audiences and above, animate it into a G rated setting, and put it on Saturday mornings. Once again- just like with the Police Academy cartoon...does it hurt yet?

Why does it always have to end in tears?

Amen! Amen! And Amen again!

"Pinky, Elmyra, & The Brain", "Baby Looney Tunes", and "Loonatics" never happened. It was all some "alternate universe" thing.... that's what I have to keep telling myself anyway... in order to keep my sanity and not have to visit this guy ---> :scratchy:

Please, people, those Ghostbusters were not a bootleg! If anything the MOVIE was a bootleg! Hense why they got sued!

1970s show The Ghostbusters by Filmation:
http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1061.php
The "bootleg" cartoon as you call it was based on the tv show, Filmation owned the rights to the name.

Filmation's Original Ghostbusters
http://www.yesterdayland.com/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1297.php

These were not a bootleg. Was it made to cash in on the success of the movie? Yes. But a bootleg - no. They are actually the originals.

http://www.yesterdayland.com/images/popopedia/shows/saturday/sa1297.jpg

Say hello to Jake, Tracy, and Eddie - The Ghostbusters.


The original but not the real ones.

[Scythemantis]

Allright, I guess the thread's officially ressurected and there's nothing I can do about it.

I have GOT to agree on Histeria. I can't believe it has a fan-base...it was just babyish, I'm sorry. It was made to fill an education quota and it's pretty obvious that noone involved wanted to waste any quality humor or talent on it.

[ifthismeansevos]

Leeme see I can't take Woody W. nor Scooby Doo in any format. I used to watch Captain Planet but I can't remember nothing about the series.
Why am I here anyway? I walked away of my Marvel forums can somebody tell me how to return to my house?:crying: :D

[Seiya]

2. Sheep in the big city - Lousy with absolutely no plot at all.
3. Bratz - Too girly for my taste.
4. Rugrats - I'm not interested in babies.
5. Yu-gi-oh - Better off as a trading card game.
6. One Piece - Horrible animation and unrealistic kung-fu.
7. Ed, Edd, Eddy - You call this animation? It's horribly shaky!
8. Spongebob Squarepants - Boring with lousy animation.
