I like the earlier Chuck Jones material with WB, when it was intended 
for an adult audience and not Saturday morning children's TV.  For 
cartoons produced during my adulthood, I like the Powerpuff Girls 
(mostly for its poking fun at the genre), Samurai Jack, Space Ghost: 
Coast-to-Coast, and Freakazoid.

Regards,
John

Dexter's Laboratory is pretty good, too.

It had a pumping theme tune and a cute girl and now I'm going to think  
about EB in the nude everytime it gets mentioned - thanks.

Nobody should have to suffer in that vision alone. ;-)

I don't think I'd heard that one before...

There was a rumour going around that she was a candidate to play Janeway 
on Star Trek: Voyager.  That would've been interesting. :-)
