Are there any good cartoon series?

...Justice League is pretty good. I wasn't happy when they killed of Grundy, but overall, it's good...

Well, in DC Canon grundy never stays dead

I did love his tombstone though... Here lies Solomon Grundy, Born on a Monday"

And, amusingly enough, voiced by Mark Hammill during the second season. Overall, second season Justice League has been aces, far and above the first season by leaps and bounds. Third season sounds even more interesting. If they can keep the quality up, I'll be thrilled.

They haven't established yet whether or not the animated Grundy has his comics counterpart's regenerative abilities...but I suspect it will depend on whether they feel like using him again.

I totally love the current Justice League cartoon. I'm also pretty fond of Teen Titans and X-Men: Evolution.

Check check check.

Plus the snorks. Or underwater smurfs.

One question for cartoon (or Batman) afficionados: Was Harley Quinn introduced in the awesome Batman: The Animated Series, or was she brought over from the comics? I don't remember her from anything Batman before the cartoon, but then, I didn't read much about Batman before that cartoon either. Either way, the character (and the voice actres) were incredible!

She was introduced in the TV show, then brought into the comics later on. First in the non-continuity Batman Adventures, then into the mainstream books in 1999.

Interestingly, the term 'BatCave' was first used in the '43 serial as 'Bat's Cave', then shortened into the modern term in the daily newspaper strip. Before that, it was just simply referred to as an underground garage area.

I hope they do. It always seems hard to take a "brick" character and give them a decent story. Grundy's one of my favorite bad guys.

On another note, I haven't seen anyone mention that Starship Troopers show they made a little while back, Roughnecks. That was pretty good. A darn sight better than the movie.

Bizarre. I found the cast of the 5 Lions Voltron really annoying, but I really liked the Air Team, Land Team, Sea Team series.

The cool thing about the Vehicle Voltron was that they were on a carrier, and often had an escorting battlegroup. So, you had some good space battles in there. I particularly remember one where a supply convoy was being attacked and the escorts had to sacrifice themselves to get supplies to the Voltron ship. (Of course, I may not be remembering it *well*)

I was pleasantly surprised when Toonami started playing Voltron way back in '96 or '97 or thereabouts. I'd roll the TV out at work so I could watch it on receptionist duty.

What an oversight. I'll second that mention, and beg for a second series which they won't do. (I'll also try to remember the 40+ bug species I catalogued in my head one day. That show was great for variety. And gibs. Let's not forget the pieces of bug raining down from the sky.)
