Welcome to Episode 2 of Madness Season 2: Best 90s Cartoons! We're trying to decide not only what are the best cartoons of the 90s, but which is THE best cartoon that premiered between 1990 and 1999. In this episode it's two powerhouses of Cartoon Network and Warner Bros, Batman the Animated Series vs Dexter's Laboratory, but who will win?
In this season we have two guests: Alex Faciane from Super Beard Bros, and Barry Kramer.
Madness is a discussion/debate show where we decide what we think is best in any given category of video games, movies, food or anything else. We make a tournament style bracket, and the winning subject of each discussion goes onto the next round until we find a winner.

"Dexter is great and all, but we're talking about BATMAN" Pretty sure that's gonna be the most recurrent and valid argument for the rest of this madness bracket.
Vemoes Courage & Animanics are awesome too.
Is that the new "but what's the better N64 game?"
That's no argument at all, in and of itself.
I still can't believe you got Shigero Miamoto on this show.
Dude, after this you should check out shiggsy's dark souls 3 no death run. It was dope.
The dubbing is really good too. I don’t know how they managed to have the English look like it’s moving perfectly with Shigeru’s Japanese speaking.
dane1647 Miyamito was on madness?
Whoosh
Is this a bit?
We all know that Batman is going to made it to the finals.
Personally I'm rooting for Courage, but I'm not sure if even him stands a chance against Batman
@Andrew mine is almost the same, I just have Ed, Edd and Eddy over Arthur.
You’re saying that Batman will beat both spongebob *and Ed Edd n Eddy?*
@Andrew yeah, same, but Courage is slightly better than the others because is more innovative, at least for me
@@Half-EatenBurger yeah, I love Spongebob, but in general terms, Batman might be better than the others
I'm rooting for Courage too! I re-watched it recently and I was not at all disappointed. In fact, I was very pleased to be able to understand it much more deeply than as a child.
Behind the recurrent spooks lies a sweet and touching core that gets you right in the feels.
Fun fact: Not even creator Genndy Tartakovsky knows what accent Dexter's voice is supposed to be.
EDIT: Minor correction. Bullock was not invented by the cartoon. He was already in the comics, just never makes it into adaptations since they never focus on Gotham PD outside of Gordon. Montoya and Quinn WERE made just for this show, though. As well as Nora Fries and Summer Gleeson.
Also, while the vast majority of B:TAS' episodes did indeed premiere on Saturday morning, there were a few episodes (most notably Robin's Reckoning) that aired in primetime.
Yeah, but comic book Bullock pre-TAS was a lot different than post-TAS. Post-TAS Bullock was just TAS Bullock.
Good shit
What an...unconventional comparison lol
Pretty sure Dexter would have gotten further if it weren’t being compared to a show about one of the most iconic superheroes in fiction
Not just one of the most iconic superheroes, but one of the best depictions of one of the best superheroes.
And then it would've gotten beaten by Batman at a later date.
@Andrew
The bracket is randomized. That could've happened, but it's not up to them how the first round lines up.
@Andrew
You're fine. It's not like they're talking about it in every episode.
Volt Siano Had no idea it was randomized, but thanks for the heads up
The fact that BtAS manages to keep Batman's fun and dark aesthetic while also managing the children's cartoon censors gives it the win for me. Like that's a genuine achievement.
It honestly wasn't censored that much, the bad guys are Chicago Typewriter-wielding mafiosos, Batman bleeds, etc.
Batman is cool and all, but it's the better N64 game?
Nah the Batman n64 game was actually kind of lame
@@dashing_diamond atleast it wasn't superman
I get you bro
Pro Jared sucked on this show. Glad he's gone.
@@SnowToast282 lol definitely
If it comes down to Batman vs Arthur, I'm pretty sure Austin's head is gonna explode
Arthur has to beat X-Men and Animaniacs for that to happen, so I don't think we'll see it.
I don't think Arthur will last that long. It would have to beat
great shows like Animaniacs, Hey Arnold, and X-Men.
I doubt that would happen.
Seriously tho, Arthur ain't that good. I feel like Peebs knows that it ain't that good but just went full on crazy with it for his videos so he has to root for it now.
God Arthur is good, but I just don't think it has what it takes to beat the other games in the bracket. It's perfect for its target demographic, but it doesn't really go beyond that.
Arthur is a very good show honestly. It's filled with jokes that are still funny to this day. The animation is good, the characters are great, and the scenarios, although "slice of life"-y are really good as well.
But I know virtually nothing about Hey Arnold or X-men.
However. Animaniacs is such a good show that I don't think Arthur would be able to beat it.
Yeah, I see now that Dexter isn’t as thorough as a series as I remembered it as a kid.
Even in Courage the Cowardly Dog, some villains carry over into other episodes and their arcs continue, but in Dexter’s Lab, the dynamic between Dexter, Dee Dee, and Mandark, was really the only thing that kept the show going.
Just putting it out there, The Batman TAS episode "Robin's Reckoning" is probably the greatest piece of animated storytelling I've ever seen. Watch the Grayson's at the circus, it changes you.
Dexter's Lab will always get my vote. It's actually the reason why I'm a computer engineer today.
macalao dm That's awesome!
Batman is the reason I'm a billionaire today
im predicting the final is Batman vs Animaniacs
While X-Men is remembered fondly, it actually hasnt aged well and has some really rough episodes, while Animaniacs is STILL funny to this day either as a kid or an adult, and really pushed the envelope for what a cartoon could get away with
But can Arthur compare to X-men?
Batman vs Arthur guaranteed lmao
@@mrsomebody68 It's time for a DEATH BAAAAAAATTLLLLE!
Courage still holds up incredibly well, and for what it was for the time, pretty much a half-hour horror film for kids. I think it's a remarkable show that in my opinion should beat out everything on that side of the bracket. Put up against Batman though? Not sure.
Caleb Marroquin I loved Hey Arnold as a kid, and when I went back and watched a few episodes as an adult it really surprised me just how ahead of its time that show was, and just how mature it could really get. I cant wait to see the movie Nickelodeon has been making for it, I can finally get closure on what happened to Arnold's parents! XD A lot of these shows were really good, its honestly hard to pick one as a single greatest, since each of them did something amazing in their own way.
I'm sorry but Dexter, while sweet, stands no chance
Yeah. I love, love, love Dexter's Lab. It's one of my all-time favorites. It absolutely cannot win against Batman: the Animated Series, because B:tAS is simply too important, powerful, and well-made.
In my personal experience growing up. Dexter's Lab had an interesting impact on my life. Long story short, I was a nerdy kid and suffered bullying in school. When Dexter's Lab went popular, suddenly my classmates started to call me Dexter and somehow bullies started to look at me with some respect because they liked the show.
In my personal opinion, I think Dexter’s Lab is freakin’ awesome. May not be groundbreaking in the same vein as Batman, but come on, it’s Batman. I’d say leading the way for original cartoons on a budding network is pretty impressive in its own right. I rewatched it a couple years back and I enjoyed it a lot more than when I was younger. Both have their merits!
I absolutely agree that DL is completely fantastic, and it is up there with my all-time favorite shows. That said, Batman absolutely should win this.
My college had a batman and psychology course. I took that asap since that was my jam. Would take batman as a baseline and work up toward more advance things off the topic. My final was proving how heath ledger's joker was essentially a hero in his own in that movie and delved into in his actions and motives using what we learned in psych 101. Got an A+ lol
Good show but not a really good debate, i know that it was an unfair matchup but they are basically displaying all their biases for the rest of the show lol. I mean... i wonder which show will win at the end...
This is a time where Forrest Lee should have really tried to push a debate, thats essentialy the job of the moderator, asking question like "What did dexter do better than batman?" "What is better for kids to watch?" because the legacy of dexter goes beyond media, is a show that inspired little kids into have an interest for science (including myself, i'm now a physicist).
i mean yeah i probably would go batman at the end too, but a battle becomes really unfair when both parties don't have equall opotunities of winning.
And of course saying "this is my opinion and i'll not change it no matter what you say" is not how you start a debate either, i mean why are you debating anyway? you might aswell just cast your votes by mail if they are unable to change
Diego G yeah i feel like Forrest’s job is to try to even it out and let both shows shine but this time he didn’t and this ep turned out to be carnage against Dexter.
It's a hard discussion, Dexter is great, but Batman is Definitive
Dexter had some bad ass anime fight scenes. They had a time travel movie with 5 dexters that was amazing. There was a transformer Mount Rushmore battle!
this actually happened, it was like an hour long special if i believe. Also Dexters Lab also got waaay better overtime, i still dont see it beating Batman, but they downplayed it alot
I absolutely adore Dexter's Lab. It absolutely should lose to Batman: the Animated Series.
B:tAS is so powerful, so influential, and so excellent it absolutely must win, or the voters are, well, *mad*.
(U C WAT EYE DID THAR, IT WAS A VERY SUBTLE PUN)
@Adresadini Yeah, no jokes just what I remember likeing from the show.
@Adresadini Well to awnser you question it was a bit that Alex did on Beard Bros for about a year. He was like guys I know what good Mario levels are because I made Mario.
Robin, what are you doing in my laboratory?
He's fixing the bird shaped hole in your wall.
i like how the chatting music is literally the most chill music from p5. speed doesnt make it any less amazing
i am sooooo looking forward to the arthur xman discussion.
Also, i think the best goal of a talking point for all these comparisons that was missing in season 1 would be "Is this thing outstanding in it's genre", like is this apple the better at being an apple, than that orange is at being an orange? In this match up it's obvious that Batman stands out among serial, story based animated shows, while Dexter's isn't really exceptional in comparison to other slapstick, short bit cartoons. So I hope that philosophy holds up for the rest of the series.
the Dude in the Hawaiian shirt is the dude nobody knows at the sleep over and never gets invited back.
Dexter's lab is one of my favorite childhood cartoon network shows......and Batman the Animated Series is one of the best shows of all time
This is already much better than the first Madness, which I couldn't really enjoy watching. The first series of Madness just felt really kinda aggravating to watch because I felt like the criteria that the games were being judged off of would keep changing and I just stopped because it was getting grating.
However, and maybe it's easier to compare cartoons compared to video games, but this is a lot more fun and enjoyable to watch I like hearing this engaging conversation and the aspects brought up. I feel like you guys are really just comparing what is the better show, what executes it's ideas better and what one was more bold or distinct. So nice to see my opinion on this series pull a 180 my only small nitpick is when Ice Cap started playing I thought it was kinda out of place and it pulled me out for a second. Great mix, but it was odd to have video game music in a series that isn't about video games. Still that's a nitpick I'm very much looking forward to how this one wraps up.
I have to agree. First it was good multiplayer, then it was ground breaking innovation, then it was iconic still used mechanics and everything else they said, I felt like they didn't have a clear grasp on what they wanted out of the champion.
To be fair, I think that's just part of the media being discussed. What makes a good video game is something inherently more subjective than what makes a good cartoon. Especially when you're specifically discussing what makes a good N64 game.
As someone studying game design, I'd lean toward the idea that the 1st season was harder because they were video games. It's not that video games have no criteria, but rather that 1) the general populace has more knowledge about linear story-telling and 2) game design is an insanely complex field.
When you mix all that in the nostalgic mess (not in a bad way) that was the N64 era, I can see why people couldn't stay in (although I won't forgive the insults that popped throughout). That said, as someone who is both game designer *and* someone who played the N64 back then, it was really captivating.
Mekasoundwave 100% agree!
I actually still prefer the less professional approach with the first season. While the game I wanted to win didn't win I actually like hearing the more different approaches of saying what's the better game. With cartoons to say how one is better over the other is a bit limited but either I'm enjoying this and I'm just Courage won't get knocked out first round though that may be difficult.
Alex is fantastic for this show
i disagree completely, someone that says "this is how i think and i'm not changing my mind" is the worst kind of person to have a debate with. he might aswell just cast his vote by mail. He also talks ALL the time, for people like him is why moderators exist, giving some space for others to speak is basic courtesy. I mean he is not entirely bad, but definitely the worst so far in my opinion
Diego G Alex does talk a lot and I can see how that can get annoying, but Shane and Barry are not even trying to contribute. Alex gives them a chance. You can see it when he lets Austin talk. Austin doesn't even have a lot to say, but he is contributing. Besides, a debate is suppose to be you convincing others that your subject is the right choice. They're suppose to be working to convince the others to change their mind. Barry and Shane have not even tried doing that yet. Neither has Austin so far this season, but we haven't gotten to his strong suites yet.
@@firebird1080 yeah maybe, to be honest Forrest is more guilty of alex talking all the time, since he is supposed to be the neutral moderator that makes sure that everyone talks more or less equally and he also should get people to debate more and try to make them consider all possible factors that may change their point of view. He does a decent job but since its all informal and friendly then its really difficult to impose rules in your friends.
no way is he worse than jared and jirard, they both ruined season 1
Think of it this way. Is Alex talking too much, or is everybody else not contributing enough?
I love that Alex is running the show.
I know it has only been two episodes, but Alex is my favorite part of this season so far
he is replacing jared in running the show
He does more trivia on this show than Beard Bros
He's great! Oh, but he was wrong about something this time: Batman: The Animated series had tons of guns, and tons of shooting. Nobody ever gets shot though. They always miss.
That’s his job man.
I freaking adore Dexter's Laboratory. It's one of my favorite cartoons of all time and more than deserves its spot on this list.
That being said, the ONLY show that can even compete with Batman: The Animated Series is Animaniacs. Every other show pales in comparison.
There were 109 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series (including Season 3/The New Batman Adventures) and I honestly struggle to name 10 episodes which could be considered outright bad.
Are you talking specifically 90’s shows?
I can't even think of another show besides maybe the later Teen Titans that would be considered better.
Spongebob *and Ed Edd n Eddy*
Dexter >>>> Spongebob
Agreed. I love X-Men way more than Batman, but this Batman is just a better show in arguably every way.
And Animaniacs sets a phenomenally high bar in comedy/variety show style cartoons. Even the jokes that were of its time can still be pretty funny today.
That Batman intro. Also, that joker. SUPER Iconic.
Batman the animated series is one of greatest animated shows ever made. It's just so well realized. The animation, voice acting, and story all came together way better than pretty much every other kids show ever made.
I looked for a negative comment about this channel and there wasn't one. Hard to believe nobody was toxic about a discussion video. Good job guys.
Batman the Animated Series is arguably the greatest cartoon of all time.
Nowhere one of the best tv shows of all time, really
I really Dexter's Lab. A lot of memorable characters and some pretty memorable lines came from it. I have also never watched much of the Batman Animated Series. I saw a bit of it, here and there... but did not like it much at all..
That being said... Batman is still the clear winner. I know how influential the show was. Not just for the 90s, but for Batman entirely.
I've tried to go back and watch Dexter before, but I just do not care about anything that happens in it anymore. This is a little weird to me, since it's not like any of the jokes are dated any more than any other cartoon... But it just does not hold any nostalgia for me.
CascadeHope You know, I remember Dexter's Lab as a silly cartoon. It's more or less shenanigans, incidents, and hijinks. There wasn't much story to it at all except for the time travel special. Very memorable, and maybe I would still find it funny if I'd to watch it again. I remember enjoying it so much, but you know, things change.
However, with Batman The Animated Series, I don't remember much except for The Joker. It's funny because I know I watched it plenty of times. Maybe it's drowned out from all the other iterations of Batman. I dunno. There's just so many versions. I seem to remember Batman Beyond the most though. Maybe it's because that iteration isnt so much explored anymore, but I imagine if I were to rewatch Batman Beyond, I'd enjoy it much more than Batman The Animated Series.
BARRY!!!
I miss your deadpan responses on GG!
I hope you're loving what you're doing now :)
Also, Ive not yet watched the episode but I'm just gonna call it now: Batman is the winner. Of the entire game.
Y'know what would be a legit discussion? Batman TAS vs Spectacular Spider-Man
While I feel like Spectacular Spiderman could compete with Batman TAS based on characterization and storytelling, the fact that it's animation is pretty terrible to look at while Batman's is gorgeous makes it it clear winner since they are so comparable in other categories.
But what about SUPER FRIENDS. Why isn’t that on the list!
@@sablen1319 because that's a cartoon that ran from the mid 70' to the mid 80's
"You can talk about Batman in an academic sense 'oh yes, Batman, of course.'" HAHAHA! F***ing brilliant.
This needs more Projared
WhAt WaS tHe BeTtEr N64 gAmE
ProJared. ProJared was the better N64 game.
HuffPuff Gamer :D
I miss Jared as well.
Jared himself said that he doesn't really watch TV shows so he wouldn't do well in this debate
90% of these cartoons I remember more from playing the games online than from actually watching the show
Batman needs to win. Other shows on this list are good and even great, but Batman is a perfect show. It was perfect when it was made and perfect today.
If Batman doesn't win the final slot I'll be surprised. I loved Dexter's lab as a kid but Batman is the one show from that era I can always go back to.
Loving that Madness is back. Not feeling this discussion as much as N64 games but still tuning in for the episodes. I can’t tell if I love or hate that Alex just outs his choice in the first minute haha
TH-cam algorithm brought me here and I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon. Love the discussions
Dexter didn't stand a chance, R.I.P. "The Lab".
Batman has this in the bag.
I love Dexter's Lab as much as the next guy but this isn't even a competition. Batman was and is the epitome of the 90s and cartoons in general. It seriously doesn't get any better than this iconic CLASSIC
These are two of the most important cartoons of the late 20th century, kicking off dozens of prominent careers in televised animation and introducing a new generation to DC’s lineup.
Dammit, RNG...
I only learned Mark Hamill did the joker later in life, he and Conroy's Batman will forever be what those characters sound like to me.
I'm in the same boat as Austin. I never watched Batman, but did watch Dexter's Lab, and based on what I've seen and you guys have shown, I would have voted for Batman too.
The Batman Animates Series actually developed it's own sub-genre of art. It's called "Dark Deco", you can see a reference to it on one of the license plates on the show. Typically Art Deco is bright and gleaming, think of the art from Civilization 5. Dark Deco maintains the lines and the shapes, but makes it dark and broody (I know, over used words for batman). Also, can we talk about the police blimps? Those are awesome! I believe you can catch hints of them in the show Gotham.
It was the only option really.
Though, Batman does a lot of actually horrifying things, but so long as no one actually dies on screen it's fine.
But how did Alex think the show didn't have guns? They have guns out the wazzoo and they aren't designed cartoonily either, they've got revolvers, pistols, A-K 47s I think, I don't know my guns too well.
I hope this season gets better as it goes on. I feel like in this episode they don't compare the shows at all really. I know its apples and oranges but in the first season they always make it work because they have Jared there asking his silly "Essence of the N64" question and giving them a specific quality to look for.
This is literally a mirror match. In the _DC Comics_ and _Cartoon Network Deck-Building Games,_ Batman and Dexter have the exact same ability.
Here's the thing Genndy Tartakovsky may have Dexter's Laboratory; however, if this was a comparison of his other work, Samurai Jack, then it would have been a much more interesting duel. I would have also voted for Batman: The Animated Series (I'm a little shocked that you didn't bring up the movie that was directly tied into the tv series, Mask of the Phantasm), but if I remember correctly, Dexter's Laboratory was the very first Cartoon picked up by Cartoon Network for syndication. The people involved in the project, the creator of the powerpuff girls, Seth MacFarlane, Butch Hartman, and Tartakovsky were all coming out of school and while they were all making things for Cartoon Networks' "Cartoon, Cartoon" show, because at that time Cartoon Cartoons were playing shorts to see what the audience like while everything else was a Hanna Barbera rerun, and Dexter's Laboratory came out of that and became a regular, full on show.
Dexter is a great show, but Bruce Timm’s vision of Batman is the quintessential version of the most iconic character in comic book history. It is as close to perfect as any animated show can be.
I feel like the only one who likes Hey, Arnold! and thinks it has a chance in this comment section.
Barry IS included!
Seriously though, I've missed him and it's cool to see him, even if he really doesn't add much to this episode.
Alex: "Batman is better".
All: "Agreed".
*from behind the background, ProJared suddenly appears*
Jared:"Sure, but is it a better N64 game?".
Hey you should enable auto captions on these vids. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
Can't wait for my assumed final of Batman TAS VS X-Men TAS!!!
I don't want this to sound mean, but I can't wait until this season is over. Don't get me wrong, it's "fine", but I just want to see the episodes about PS1, it's just a much more interesting topic for me. Also, the best 90s show, which was Spider-Man, isn't on this list again.
good episode as always. Also
I'm not sure if my headphones got weird or something but near the end the audio mixing got bad.
I've been rewatching Batman the Animated Series recently (in fact I just watched the episode where the villains are just sitting around talking about how they almost got Batman! Good thing I didn't watch this before that and had it spoiled...) and HOLY SHIT it's even better watching as an adult than as a kid!
That show almost seems like it was meant for the parents more than their kids! And HOT DAMN they put a shit ton of detail and polish into that and it's absurd! I really can't get over it!
Um... I guess in terms of Dexter's Laboratory... well it taught me out to spell laboratory (thanks to how Dexter says it)! Also, I liked how a good chunk of the main cast had a different sound effect when they walked. (I liked Dee Dee's squishy shoes!)
Bullock first appeared in comics in the 70s, but fully agreed BTAS brought so much to the mythos
I wont know what do do with my life if it comes down to Batman and Spongebob.
When that Sonic Ice Zone theme kicks in tho...bruh, too smoove
this one made me subscribed to the channel and marathon the N64, great channel and great videos guys!
I didn't realize that I skipped over this episode till today. Kinda sad that Dexter's Lab didn't win, but I could totally understand why Batman won. He definitely was a big part of the 90s
I loved this show. Really wish it would come back
Not even fair that these two are against each other in round 1. These are the best two shows on the list.
My vote is for Batman for two reasons:
1) It led to Justice League
2) Mark Hamill Joker
I was leaning towards Dexter because I saw more of it and can recall several episodes just off the top of my head.
I was very geared towards Dexter's Laboratory, but this is the only time These guys legitimately changed my mind. I'll still love Dexter's Laboratory, but I've never seen BatMan: The Animated Series. I can understand why it's a superior show, but I'll still always love Dexter, just like the PowerPuff Girls. rip.
Well Dexter's electricity bill must be greater than the US defense budget
I don't remember a lot of my childhood, either mental trauma tha that I blocked or an actual physical trauma that gave me a concussion and I forgot my childhood, and I don't think I ever really watched these two shows, but I do know even when I watched Dexter's Lab at a friend's house, I was always put off by the weird way the main character talks. It just wasn't that relateable to me then. And I also don't remember if I watched Batman, but I have seen bits and pieces over the years and it looks like something I would've loved to watch then.
Yeah Batman is not an easy matchup.
About the matchups, I kind of feel Simpsons should have been an option. It first aired on 17 December 1989. It literally only spent 2 weeks as an eighties show and the 90s were it's golden age.
There should definitely be some Disney Madness. I suggest Disney Princesses or hand-animated Disney movies to shrink the pool.
Bullock was not made for the show, he existed in a minor capacity and as cross-promotion was featured more prominently in the comics. Similarly, when Montoya was created they put her alongside Bullock in the same way.
Dang. That's two shows that meant the world to me as a kid getting curbstomped
I loved Dexter's Laboratory as a kid. I saw very few episodes of Batman (my brother and cousins loved the Marvel cartoons more), but I will agree that Batman is the better show.
I might be wrong, but I think most of the interviews with Dini and Timm mention it airing in primetime in the evenings originally and moving to fox kids and the WB morning shows later on
Waiting for animaniacs "the best" to get on the debate floor
I went into this video saying that Dexter's Laboratory would win(I have not watched the shows in years), but their arguments make perfect sense so I can agree with Batman winning.
I really hope that Hey Arnold! gets a fair shake. It had such a genuine nature to it that made it unique and stand out from its contemporaries.
I do really like Dexter, but even that I didn't really get into Batman when I was young, I have to admit the points are clear here. When I went back to Dexter I had also the experience that it actually wasn't that great. I would have asked if I'm allowed to vote from my taste as a kid, and back then I definitely would have preferred Dexter. I simply wasn't into the dark, more serious tones of batman.
This bracket is gonna come down to Batman vs either X-Men or Animaniacs
Dexters laboratory is my favaorite of the two. It was really funny, but more important: it was really creative and I can still watch it as an adult.
"Hey Freakazoid, wanna go see a bear riding a scooter?"
Batman had the best opening music as well. Almost everything about the show is absolutely amazing. I got it in the finals in my bracket 👏🏻.
I know what the outcome is going to be and I'm only like seconds into the video. But honestly, I would go with Dexter's lab due that being one of the shows I would watch with my grandmother when I was a kid. She loved watching cartoons with me. Extremely biased opinion, but it resonated with me.
Batman is going to be hard to beat. It's just so good all-around that you'd have to make an incredibly solid argument against it, and I think it can't be done.
We all knew Batman was gonna win this. Without a doubt.
Dexter was more fun, and perhaps a better show for a kid with a short attention span, but as an adult I can absolutely see why it didn't win.
even the people who worked on dexters lab and the creator said it was a good place to learn what not to do when making your cartoon.
I really love Miamo... Alex! I'd love for him to be a regular or if we can get both beard bros on a season at once.
Beast Wars is not on that list of best 90s cartoons. What shame.
.....who am I kidding? People can watch what they want, I shouldn’t judge.
Beast wars, ooooh damn the nostalgia, I would totally love to see that on this series.
I am at shock and awe that a TH-cam comment can be so nice and heartwarming. :)
Holy What? In my memory Beast Wars was early 2000s but I looked it up and you're right, how the heck did that not make the list? It's the number one show of the 90's in my book at least :p
Batman: TAS is just too OP. It's defined so much of Batman canon on its own.
Currently, Tooncast airs Batman all week at 10:00 AM.
I believe the first Superhero movie/tv show was Batman: TAS I’ve ever watched and I have to say I think it maybe one of the best cartoons of all times. It’s also one of the few shows outside of pbs I grew up with.
I totally agree that Batman is the better show, but I'm sad Ego Trip wasn't mentioned. Seriously the best thing you could ever watch that's Dexter related.
Also, just to throw my votes out there, for round 1, it's PPG, Batman, Eds, X-Men, Courage, and Animaniacs.
PBG: Who would win in a fight? Batman or Arthur? And I don't mean the shows. I mean boxing ring, gloves off, mud, etc.
Batman Vs. Arthur for the finale! HERE WE GOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!
