10 Best Cartoon Network Shows Of The '90s, Ranked
Cartoon Network helped define '90s animation with unforgettable original shows and beloved acquisitions. These series represent some of the decade's finest.
The 90s proved to be a pivotal decade for Cartoon Network, launching many of its most enduring animated series. Among these, 10 standout shows have emerged that have stood the test of time. Foremost is Cow and Chicken, a quirky sibling duo created by "What a Cartoon!" pilot Charlie Adler. Their absurd adventures, often involving devilish schemes, imbued the series with surreal humor.
Another standout was 2 Stupid Dogs, which relied on the dim-witted antics of a large and small canine duo. Though not as consistently sharp as some of its contemporaries, its slapdash humor still holds nostalgic appeal. Transformers: Beast Wars, a fully computer-animated sequel to the original Transformers series, was another groundbreaking production.
Though not as celebrated as its predecessor, the second season brings the G1 story into the prehistoric era with compelling storytelling and improved animation. Johnny Bravo, centered on a vain and bumbling protagonist, was aimed at the preteen demographic. Despite its outdated charm, the series' portrayal of Johnny's constant romantic failures provides ample comedic fodder.
Rounding out the top five is Ed, Edd n Eddy, a group of adolescent suburbanites with peculiar habits. Though released close to the decade's end, the show's enduring popularity attests to its lasting impact.
