I like The Magic School Bus. And when we had HBO? I used to watch Crashbox, not ashamed. Another show I forgot was Gargoyles. The original run not that godaweful Goliath Chronicles. And Aladdin. Alot of those Disney Cartoons weren't horrible. I even enjoyed Kim Possible, and Phinneas and Ferb.

I think its an indication of how drastic a change to the current form of western animation is. The 80s to 90s were in many ways the best time for Western Animation. I always said half-jokingly that kids today only have "crap" like Ben 10 to relate to. Its almost sad.

I remember Crashbox. T'was fun.

But honestly, though not in my top 10, I'd rank Ben 10 as higher than a lot of the stuff we watched during the 90's...

The original Ben 10 and up through Ultimate were alright. I didn't enjoy Omniverse much. And I agree with the rest of what you said. The 2000's haven't been excellent cartoon-wise. And not to get into a rant but alot of it has to do with 4kids.Tv. And people like them watering down what is aired so much it becomes mush. Justice League was an excellent show, so was Unilimited. So was Spider-Man. Unlimited wasn't very good, but that had alot to do with the animation style for me. But none of them would be made now. Look at Young Justice, and Green Lantern. Look at Tron: Uprising. Good story, and excellent storytelling, is being replaced by.. Whatever Teen Titans Go! is.

And Matrix: Alot has to do with they cancelled Young Justice and Green Lantern to put it on. And alot of it has to do with I didn't enjoy Teen Titans when it came on the first time. I always felt they rushed storyline and relied to much on Comic Relief. Which is why I enjoyed Young Justice so much. It felt more like a mature and grown-up show.

And has anyone ever seen the Spawn animated series which came on HBO back in the day? I still have the episodes on VHS. It's good. But... to this day I have no idea WTF is going on at any one moment. So it's alot like the comics

I actually felt Ben 10's absolute worst points were during Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. I haven't enjoyed it until Omniverse.

And I still feel a lot of animosity Teen Titans Go gets is from people who want to hate it. Giving a show a chance doesn't quite matter when it's an uphill battle to win a viewer over because the viewer has no intent on enjoying it.
It's something I realized when I became a Brony. I never got into MLP sooner because I always watched episodes with the full intent on disliking it, so when I finished an episode, lo and behold, I hated it.

I haven't watched a cartoon or anything animated for ages...

I got hooked on Adventure when I was in America last summer watched a lot of that but it just became re-run after re-run over here. I also had Ultimate spider-man and omniverse on record... haven't seen either of them in a long time either. EDIT: oh and i liked classic Ben-10, found Alien and Ultimate to be rather rubbish and think Omniverse is back on track slightly.

err aside form that I used to watch a lot of Phineas and Ferb and batman the brave and bold, and Transformers Animated. That got me back into collecting TF's again and are pretty much the only TF's I still have, the rest of my collection (mainly movie and classics) have slowly been sold off. So yeah that how much i Loved Animated =D

As for classics... I really don't remember liking much =p
I remember liking Courage the Cowardly dog, Batman the animated series, Justice League, and Beast Wars. Everything else I watched was pretty much dubbed Japanese shows =p
