Bad toon shows that has some sliver of goodness in them

Well, I'm not a huge fan of Phineas & Ferb, but I do like the character designs. They have a clear theme to them, and they really stand out with those vibrant colors.

The Super Mario World show is possibly the worst Mario cartoon, but at least it has some moments of awkward humor that makes it worth watching sometimes.

I'm also not at all interested in Iron Man: Armored Adventures, but I appreciate how the writers have handled Pepper based on what I read. She sounds like a solid character in that series as opposed to a useless tag-along.
 
+1 about the theme song and add to the list the 1967-70 Spider-man, with the theme song who is stuck in our head. The Bakshi's psychedelic episodes don't have, except some episodes, the campy style of the 1st season but it got some cool groovy and psychedelic background scenes.
 
Here's some of mine:

Transformers G1: Despite it having very uneven animation (Toei's work ranges from poor to excellent, depending on episode, and Akom's, while fluid most of the time, has a bunch of animation errors to them) and possibly some of the most cheesy plots ever known to animation. Is quite fun to watch, there's even some parts that are unintentionally funny (In episode 2 of the series, after Megs' fight with Prime, he flies off with his mace spinning like a helicopter. I laughed hard at that)

Not to mention that the voice acting has some genuine gems in it. And the second season theme opening is pretty cool.

I also find that some episodes of the more recent seasons of The Simpsons are pretty good.

Family Guy does have it's moments, but aside from the background music and the songs, the show has little to it.

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is pretty interesting, sure its humor is extremely violent and the animation (for the most part) looks like something Hanna-Barbara/Wang Films working together would do. It does have some redeeming qualities to it. The opening it one prime example of it.

In terms of Anime, I'd say Spider Riders, sure Hunter's voice was annoying as Starscream with a sore though trying to screech. But it's severely underrated I find. The Animation was pretty good, some of the casting were nice and at times, I liked the humor. so yeah.
 
I've got more:

Atomic Betty- The ghastly result of ripping off Duck Dodger's material and not doing anything (hilarious or original for that matter) with it.

The only good thing I ever got out of it was custom designing Betty's mom and that substitute art teacher for fun.

Otherwise, boring/useless teen angst moments that take away from what the show is really about (thoug you hopefully couldn't care less due to how poorly done it all is), boring/useless/stupid characters who you'd want to see get their butts handed to them or worse (especially in the case of the main character's sidekicks, as well as the main ambiguously non-straight duo), and action scenes, storylines/plots so lame and uncreative that they make you want to damage someone physically at the end of the day.

Oh, and the opening theme, as wll as all the show's music stinks a hard one...

Captain Flamingo- to be honest, I did like this show, even if it came from the same uncreative and underqualified people responsible for Atomic Betty. Certain female characters gave me some nice drawing ideas as per usual, but that's it for any sliver of good I got out of it.

The show, however, provides nothing but a headache after awhile on every level it tries, both comedy and action (either way, it fails).

Its main character is annoying and you want to see him beat down for being such a dumb kid; then again, most of this show's character's are just plain annoying, or worse, stupid in one way or another.
This show also suffers from some of the stuff I may have elaborated on, in terms of adult & teen/ child prejudice, which is what made Kids Next Door suffer IMHO. Its writing is reminiscent of Atomic Betty's, which stunk out loud IMHO, so this is no surprise to me.
 
That's true. Yzma did have some nice musical numbers during the series' run.

I also never really cared for The Emperor's New School since it did get rid of Kuzco's development in the first movie. Still, I did like how Kronk was used more as Kuzco's friend than as Yzma's helper. He was pretty friendly and I thought he was funnier than a lot of the other characters in the series.
