1. Batman: The Animated Series (1992)
Best. Cartoon. Ever. I mean that, and anyone who's ever watched this will say the same.

2. Gargoyles (1994)
Disney made lots of cartoons. Many of them spin-offs of movies or characters from said movies. This is one of a few original creations made specifically as a series. It has a darker tone than any other Disney cartoon. Not to mention the guns were actually guns and could truly kill you in this one, but also blood. All that during the crackdown on cartoon violence in the 90's. It has one of the odder pairings in Elisa and Goliath. Ironically enough it was also one of the more serious and real-feeling relationships in cartoondom. Incredibly well written. Until The Goliath Chronicles atleast. Everything went downhill in that season.

3. Animaniacs (1993)
Lots of movie-type people say comedy is the hardest thing they ever have to do. So how is it that a childrens cartoon can make it work on so many different levels. Besides how many other children's cartoons that make reference to Apocalypse Now or The Godfather do you know of. Flirted with the censors all the time. Minerva Mink was just the icing on the cake.

6. Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005)
I want a sequel. Saying that; when I first heard of Avatar I thought it would be some crappy wannabe anime. So wrong. Stellar throughout, the series finale nailed it though. Azula cracking up was heartbreaking to see, and surprising. They spent all this time building her up, making you want to see her fall and when she does, you pity her. That's something right there. Also, rocks fall. People die.

7. Batman of the Future (1999)
Always in the shadow of its predecesor. Not as a great as the original, but not bad and entertaining to boot.

I don't know who's idea it was to give a white bunny sharp-looking jagged teeth but it's hilarious.

13. X-Men (1992)
It's X-Men. It's always going to be complicated and intriguing and appealing. Wolverine still kills people. Offcamera anyways. Cyclops has a got a stick so far up his ass you could mistake him for a puppet. Beast is a brilliant monster and Jean was complicated. It's as accurate a portrayal of the X-Men as you'll get in a cartoon. Its the best X-men cartoon before or since.

I ain't gona lie to you. Spongebob isn't that good, but everyone seems to like it anyway.

15. Kim Possible (2002)
*gasp*
Time actually moves forward. Starts in freshman year of high school ends in senior year. Kim is Kim all throughout the series. The one to watch is Ron. Master of slapstick that one.

16. Doug (1991)
Personally, I'm a fan of the ABC revamp, but I can see why the original has so much appeal. It's good stuff.

No, Avatar isn't anime. Just because it owns nearly every cartoon made in the last decade and has an asian theme going on doesn't make it anime. It was all Nickelodeon.
