To the 90s kids, we know that Cartoon Network is ‘the best network in town’. We remember how excited we would be to watch the next episode of Scooby Doo or Captain Planet.
To the kids of Millennium, yes CN is great but not as good as its elder brother during the cartoon mania. Today we have memes and rather irritating characters, as cartoonists run out of ideas but in the yesteryears, we had our deserving picks, and try beating us on the episodes because we still remember our favourite ones like yesterday.
Number 10: Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
I can still sing the chorus of the opening song. This one goes to our detective Granny’s angel pets,
Sylvester, the cat and Tweety, the tiny yellow canary. Sylvester, called as Bilamama if anyone got to
watched it in Hindi by chance, is always chasing after and trying to eat our petite Tweety. But our
bird has wits, a good timing and Hector the bulldog bodyguard to save him from the claws of the
pretentious kitty. The cute Tweety stammers and spites to Sylvester in an adorable way, by repeatedly saying , ''dat bad old putty tat'.
Number 9: Pingu and Pinga
Now who doesn’t know about the brother-sister duo? The cartoon itself looks quite different with the
clay-animation effect. The playful, active and curious Pingu, is always keen on exploring new things
and places. Pinga, his little adorable sister, who is born out of an egg, as was shown in one of the
episodes completes the igloo family of four, including Papa Pingu and Mama Pingu.
Number 8: Ed Edd Eddy
bunch of kids going frantic every now and then just brought nothing but confusion. But we still
continued to watch the trio with curiosity until the end. And as for the information guys, surprisingly
this was the longest running cartoon on Cartoon Network.
Number 7: Courage, The Cowardly Dog
Courage is a coward. Though named as Courage sarcastically, this dog is basically a hero. As we all
know, Courage always finds ways to rescue and save his owners Eustace and Muriel, who is a
married couple, living nowhere. Saving from? Well, the freakiest type of ghost/creature you can think
of, even a vegetable that can come alive and eat you up or a talking blister, on your own body that
completely engulfs you. What more than unfathomable ghosts, peek-a- booing you from here and there with a coward dog to save the day!
Number 6: PowerPuff Girls
I know we are quite much talking about Trios here, but can you really ignore them, these three super
girls made of Chemical –X? They have super speed; they have laser power; they have echo-echo
power. They are little female versions of superman! Didn’t you love to see them destroy the crazy monkey Mojo Jojo or awkwardly behaving devils like ‘HIM’? The Townsville sleeps sound with these power-puffed girls, defeating the bad guys with boom and bang!
Number 5: SWAT Cats
My personal favourite, SWAT Cats is a series of anthropomorphic cats, who are no cute kitties but
tough feline fighter pilots who save their town from the bad guys, who persistently try to destroy the
feline city. Contrary to their masked personalities as super-heroes, they normally live the life of
garage guys and with extreme vigilance, they keep an eye on the villains, who arrive every time with
bigger and better master plans. Technology freaks, T-Bone and Razor are cool cats of modern
times.
Number 4: Dexter and Didi
The child parody, Dexter has a secret laboratory in his own house, where he works day and nightwith his crazy inventions and kickass technologies. Though his mum and dad don’t have a clue
about it, his irritating and almost always excited sister Dee Dee breaches all the securities to his lab
and plays havoc, disrupting his experiments. Dexter, though hates his sister for ruining his
experiments, can go to any lengths to save her from trouble. Mandark, his rivalry and equally brain,
uses his technology for evil deeds often attacking and competing with Dexter. But in the end, we know who our hero is!
Number 3: Scooby-Doo and Shaggy
Five teenagers, a speaking Great Dane and a mystery machine land themselves up in spooky
places to solve mysteries, but the only exception is that they find themselves in trouble with ghosts
and other supernatural beings. With their tactics and agility, Shaggy and Scooby, the owner and the
pet always find their way out of trouble and save the day, though they more interested in hogging,
even in between the chase, with the ghosts behind them. Who wants Scooby’s Snacks by the way?
Number 2: Ash and Pikachu
Pokemon , the fascinating Japanese anime, took the cartoon world by storm. We couldn’t blink oureyes, when Charmeleon transformed to Charizard or when Pikachu defeated the much stronger
Raichu on his own terms. We relished the friendship Ash developed with Pikachu over time. We
glued our eyes to TV screen during the Battle Front. We absolutely loved the cute, adorable and
electric Pokémon Pikachu and his trainer Ash, who together, set out to win the battles against others
and themselves.
Number 1: Tom & Jerry
Nobody can defy the fact that Tom, the cat and Jerry, the little mouse have been the most favourite
pair since the time we remember watching the Cartoon Network. We have laughed over and over,
watching a simple chase of a cat and mouse and we have our laughed our guts out watching the
same episode, no matter how many times. We have enjoyed the duo and still can recall the episode
on getting a glimpse. Tom and Jerry, the undeniable addictive characters of the most loved cartoon
of our times, rule out to be number one pairs in the Cartoon town!
