Being a part of the internet in 2011, I vividly remember everyone talking about My Little Pony, even though I wasn't that hardcore of a fan at the time. I'm pretty sure my feed of Cartoon Network aired a couple episodes, but that's all I can remember watching.
And then some spinoff happened where all the ponies are... not ponies. This is when I completely lost interest in the franchise. Thanks, 2013.
I have nostalgia for my late-teens early 20s cartoon consumption. I was still watching Batman:TAS and the 90s Spider-Man series. There were flashes of high-intensity (if not well told) brilliance from the 90s Real Adventures of Jonny Quest series. I have to admit, the CGI they used was not as well executed as Reboot. Darkwing Duck, Peter Pan and the Pirates, and Gargoyles were shows what I looked back on fondly.
Daria, Clone High, and Ren and Stimpy all made an impact on me as a young adult. Daria, for its sardonic, anti-establishment stance. Clone High for its mockery of sitcoms and rom-coms and teen angst. Ren and Stimpy for pushing everything past its limit.
In the end, though, it was Samurai Jack and 90s X-Men that stood head and shoulders above them all. X-Men because it was what I collected and knew the best. Samurai Jack because it was cinematic, well- paced, and offered me something that no other TV show, movie, cartoon series, or comic book did or could: "... [a] fool [who] seeks to return to the past to undo the future that is Aku!"
If you aren't watching the new X-Men 97 show you should give it a shot. It picks up at the end of the original run and has been pretty entertaining so far.
No captain scarlet?
Good time to get back into og x-men
Not sure if theyre technically cartoons, but Thunderbirds and Stingray.
Samurai Jack
Who dares to summon the Master of Masters, the Deliverer of Darkness, the Shogun of Sorrow, Aku?
There are many, Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ben 10 classic, Camp Lazlo and lots of other city era cartoons from Cartoon Network. But the number one that hits me with nostalgia, so much so that I don't re-watch much to not tint it, is Foster's Mansion for Imaginary Friends
Ulysses 31 was a space travel cartoon with Greek theming.
It was a International-Japanese production and had one of the most kick-ass theme songs ever.
Moomins
I miss Gargoyles. I loved having Diana Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes back together again.
Marina. And, I feel you on the Gargoyles.
My favourite trope is the Xanatos Gambit.
Hahahah. You're correct! Perhaps she will always be Diana to me!
Extreme Dinosaurs.
Ripped shirtless anthropomorphic dinosaurs; what's not to love?
Biker Mice from Mars, I loved that show as a kid, gave me a lifelong appreciation for Root Beer
There may be dozens of us who still remember Captain Future. I used to get in trouble in school for doodling his space ship in my workbooks.
Lately, I’ve watched Scooby-Doo with my sister.
Specifically, The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
We both like all sorts of classic stuff even now.
Futurama
Good news everyone!
I still regularly think about the old Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. The more anime one with an overarching storyline, not the episodic Looney Tunes kinda one (though I did also like that one for the comedy). I haven't watched it in years. I'm not sure how to find it, either. Did it have a subtitle or something? It was the one with Sally Acorn, Bunny Rabbot, and Boomer. I only remember those characters in that specific show so hopefully that narrows it down.
If you are GenX, you might remember the cartoon between the cartoons.
Schoolhouse Rock was catchy and educational.
I'm just a bill
And I'm sittin here on Capitol Hill

Franklin
I don't know how obsessed I was as a kid, but I had a Franklin domino set and one of the PC edutainment games that I absolutely loved a lot. Don't recall much else about how much I watched it, though. It's a series I got re-obsessed with a couple years ago.
I recently got the "Hey, It's Franklin!" CD I didn't know existed back then and I absolutely LOVE it despite the majority of the songs being pretty childish. Absolutely love track 2 "What I Do In The Morning", alongside track 5 and 6 "Hello" and "Friends". Only song on the CD I don't like is track 15 "Rainforest Song".
Some day I am going to look up the domino set and buy it for nostalgia and for my love of the show.
