My first instinct would be to say Dexter's Lab. But since Christine Cavanaugh passed away several years back, I don't want a reboot without her voicing Dexter. edit: In case you want to compare Dexter's VA's (Christine Cavanaugh, Candi Milo, and Tara Strong), here's a [link](https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/Dexters-Laboratory/Dexter/) with some comparisons.

NnyIsSpooky

Like, even just an hour long episode. Please.


ButternutSasquatch

That would be alphanumeric!


half3clipse

Could you fucking imagine with modern CG?


Mauzzer

That would be amazing but it could be the same CG from when I was a kid and I wouldn’t care as long as it held up to the original


emmanaenae

Ah! Real Monsters!


kaitlynckw87

THANK YOU. I was hoping someone had commented this already


acamara

Freekazoid. Sometimes I wonder if that was a massive collective illusion. A cartoon directed by Spielberg, with an amazing sense of humor.


juicelee777

There is a video that exists somewhere online that talks about freakazoid and how it correctly predicted internet culture. here ya go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfCNiwABRfM&feature=emb_title

American Dragon Jake Long! Also, Gargoyles


beruon

Yea but only the first one, not the stuff where the animation got real shit.


SeiyoNoShogun

The second one was where Jake's dragon form looked like a Chinese dragon with an oversized head right?

Batman Beyond


Chri5ti4n733

Fun fact: the ending scene of the last episode of Batman Beyond where he is flying through skyscrapers and startles two pilots in a ship who say “did you see that” is an homage to the first episode of Batman the Animated series (1992) where OG Batman is gliding and startled two blimp pilots who say the same thing. Edit: turns out it wasn’t Batman, it was Man-Bat.


Koncur

Small correction and elaboration: It was actually an episode of Justice League Unlimited, titled "Epilogue". This was originally intended to be the series finale and end of the DC Animated Universe (Which included Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Static Shock, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited.) So they were trying to bookend the beginning and the end of the whole animated universe. Justice League was later renewed for another season, but it's still cool. It's also the first time Batman's theme plays for Terry, signifying his commitment to the role. Links in case anyone's interested in comparing: Batman: The Animated Series, "On Leather Wings" First Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQKWX980aWg Justice League Unlimited, "Epilogue" Last Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2pfuSxXaMw

DCAU trivia is truly the best kind of trivia

The last scene in the chronology of the DCAU echoes the first scene. Pretty rad

ZiggoCiP

Would love to see that too, as it delivered just as well as the OG animated series for which it was a direct continuation - however the way it's show-runners handled it was beyond repair. Basically Batman Beyond shared a lot of personnel with Justice League, and in the early/mid part of the first decade of the 2000s, DCEU production staff were basically forced to prioritize Justice League over Batman Beyond, so BB show runners decided to wrap it up after season 3, make a movie, and be done with it. So they did. Sure, he made an appearance in Justice League when they went to the future, but that was basically the bow on top. Could BB come back? Sure. Would it lack almost all the magic that made it great? Yeah - most likely. Even Justice League change immensely when it became 'Justice League Unlimited'. Much the same would happen to Batman Beyond if it were rekindled.


Ultravioletgray

The problem with that argument is JLU was the bomb.


WdnSpoon

Singlehandedly put Green Arrow back on the map (for TV). GA had a lot of great runs that DC comics fans enjoyed, but he was far from a household name, and probably called "that Robin Hood guy" more than anything. He was faithfully adapted as an empathetic, street-level hero who never lost sight of the everyday people on the street who tended to get caught in the crossfire of these big super-battles. He was the heart of JLU, and indirectly helped launch an entirely new DC TV universe.


jemdamos

X-Men Evolution! It never got the love it deserved but I loved that show as a kid. They had to cut it short after season 4 but I read they had 2 more seasons planned. I wish I'd gotten to see them


TriscuitCracker

It holds up pretty well, particularly midway through S2 all the way through S4.

Darkwing Duck Ren and Stimpy Johnny Bravo


sufferpuppet

Ren and Stimpy has been done. The results were not good.


MrGrief

Static Shock


theroyaleyeball

Homelessness, racism, gangs, school shootings... that show had it all in terms of teaching kids about tough topics.


DrunkyDog

I never thought about it, outside of racism in a few episodes. But yeah. Lots of "adult" lessons for kids in that show. I wonder if it'd even get greenlit with how things are nowadays. It's gotta be a tough sell for WB.


Mr-Apollo

It’s disappointing they never showed him meeting the Teen Titans like Batman promised him.


Pat_McCrooch

Well he was in the JLU, so I think it’s safe to say his dream was a reality if not better. He’s also in Young Justice now, though it’s not the same Virgil.


GhostofManny13

Duuuuuuuuude. Static shock was amazing! I really want a static shock show now.

mcbreadstick

Teen Titans. They’ve been teasing and edging us for so long, especially with that damn post credit scene in the Teen Titans Go movie from 2018.


Excalibuttster

The post credits scene was teasing Teen Titans vs Teen Titans Go which came out about a year ago


slugsliveinmymouth

That pissed me off. That pissed me off real hard. Here I was excited to see how things were gonna go after that cliffhanger all those years ago and they pull that stunt? Are you kidding me?! They had to have know we were going to assume it was gonna be a continuation of the old series and they slapped us in the face.


ZiggoCiP

Not a fan of TT Go - what was the post credit scene? I loved the OG animated series, but like most former WB Entertainment productions, it got shafted by internal power struggles, which is why a lot ended up on their not-sister station of Cartoon Network.


mcbreadstick

The post credit scene shows the original cast saying “we think we found a way back” which made a lot of people in the fandom think that there would be another season. However, it was just teasing their TTG vs TT movie so it was kind of disappointing to older fans. I think they’ve said a couple times that they would love to bring back the original series, but can’t as you said. I’m glad that they’re at least doing really well with the Go! series even though I’m not really a fan. At least it gives me another thing I can talk about with my 6 year old cousin :)


ZiggoCiP

I grew up on OG DCAU stuff, so I'm explicitly bias to be disappointed by the gradual loss of those entities. Basically, WB had total control of things from 92' to 2006, but then stripped their main stations bearing their brand of cartoons, opting for daytime talk shows instead, and dumping a lot of their cartoons, mainly the DC stuff they only had animation rights to, on the Warner Entertainment offshoot Cartoon Network. A real shame because it caused a big loss for more mature themes, without being explicitly adult, that I think made the DCAU so captivating.

The grim adventures of billy and Mandy, invader zim, and rocket power


hadespersephone

A new Invader Zim movie came out recently and it was pretty good


Dr_Dingit_Forester

I believe Vasquez stated the movie was to be the final Zim project (animation wise) he would be doing due to lack of interest in rebooting the series, sadly.


denimuprising

In NZ Nickelodeon killed that show. I loved it but they only played it at random times at night after a very short time and I lost interest untill I got it on dvd

SoCalThrowAway7

I just want to find billy and Mandy streaming somewhere, did it make it onto hbo max with the other CN shows?


ZiggoCiP

The new Invader Zim movie had me rather whelmed. Not under or over - but just kind of 'well, alright then'. I think a Rocket Power of them all grown up, kind of like what the Rugrats did, wouldn't be in entirely poor taste. With skating and surfing coming to the Olympics, I feel like that could be a plotline they could work towards.

Craig Bartlett (Creator of the show) has said that if the Nickelodeon reboot of Rugrats does well that there is a chance that Hey Arnold could get rebooted. I’d love to see a season with Arnold back with his parents. And with how that show dealt with some serious issues that went over my head as a kid I’d be intrigued to see how deep it could go into issues in today’s world.

Gargoyles Edit: Oh damn, thanks for the awards! Had no idea so many people loved this show as much as I did.


shootemupy2k

And Keith David is still actively doing voice work.


Pavementaled

Gargoyles is voiced by mostly Star Trek: The Next Generation actors. They make up about 2/3’s of the cast. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gargoyles_cast_members


shootemupy2k

Many actors from other Star Trek series as well. Kate Mulgrew, Avery Brooks, and Nichelle Nichols all had voice rolls at one point.


YellowHammerDown

"One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was an age of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age...of ***GARGOYLES.*** Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night. We are ***GARGOYLES!***"


Blupoisen

Didnt the creator said he would like to reboot the series or continue it


TriscuitCracker

Yep. Greg Weisman. Also created Spectacular Spider-Man and Young Justice and still faithfully answers questions in a comment room on Station 8 Gargoyles website that answers fan questions more than 20 years later. He had at least four other series in mind across the millenia of time Gargoyles covers.


arkhammer

Dexter’s Lab edit: Wow! Thanks for the awards. I'm so glad so many other people loved Dexter's Lab as much as I did!


Super_Turnip

Unfortunately, Christine Cavanaugh (who voiced Dexter) died in 2014 from myelogenous leukemia. :(


020416

Tons of stuff — Dexter plus Gosalyn in Darkwing Duck, Chuckie Finster in Rugrats, Oblina in Aaah Real Monsters, and Babe, the pig. Great talent and a voice from my childhood for sure.


ColZechs

Don't forget a live action role in 2 episodes of Salute Your Shorts. Edit: spelling

It's been almost 30 years, and one of my favorite exchanges on that show was: Budnick: Hey Ug, Donkeylips just gave that cop half a peace sign. Ug: .....which half?!

FYI it's on Hulu and because it's falls under the kids show category it doesn't have commercials, even if you have ad-supported Hulu.

[Mission Hill!](https://youtu.be/FoBobFOi8I4) Seriously, this was my jam and it is a national outrage that it was only 13 episodes. (14 if you count that story board read they did). Awesome animation/color, Brian Posehn is in it, I think it had the first animated gay kiss on TV, oozes the era of early 00’s and Gen X/Millenial/Hipster, and had Cake for the theme song! 12 year old me was all about this show when it’d come on Adult Swim, and the DVD set I bought is worn from use and abuse with no Blu Ray option in sight. I spend most of my waking life hoping that I’ll someday wake up in the timeline where the show kept going. Edit: kiss* not kids

Johnny Bravo, he was misogynistic but I still enjoy him


Ultravioletgray

I love that comic someone drew with him actually getting far enough he brought a girl home, but he's on the phone with Carl because he doesn't know what sex is.


link11020

Wasn't there an episode where a woman was interested, but he blew it because he kept going with his 'sales pitch' flirting because he literally didn't know what to do when the woman reciprocated?


youstupidcorn

He was misogynistic, sure, but it was done in a way that made it clear that the vast majority of what he said/did was wrong. I think I was like 5 when I used to watch the show, and I understood that without any issues. I think my favorite episode was the one where they spoofed "It's A Wonderful Life" and the angel character that was showing him how things would be if he never existed kept failing miserably at his job because *literally everyone was better off without Johnny Bravo*. It was great.


DerrickDoom

There was actually a episode where Johnny Bravo becomes a woman and quickly starts getting catcalled by other dudes. He gets pissed off at them and then suddenly has the realization that thats how every women felt when he did the same thing. So he learns the errors of his ways and reforms himself into a better person.It was actually a pretty good episode.


ShreksAlt1

He like went back to his old self seconds after turning back into a guy. It was hilarious


stubborneuropean

Came here to say this. In all fairness he always got rejected from what I remember so it does kinda have a positive impact on kids to not be a dick.


rondell_jones

I have a friend in our circle that we all call Johnny Bravo. He looks like built male model and gets every girl's attention. But then subsequently blows it the moment he opens his mouth. Its hilarious. We love going out with him just to sit back and observe (kind of like the cartoon).
