If you could bring back ANY Cartoon what would it be?

AAAHH REAL MONSTERS!

As much as i love the Gummi bears i would love to so Ickis back on my screen. I miss his floppy ears and lack of scare skills :(
 
Uh...would you mind stating why?

I enjoyed the cartoon as a kid, but it doesn't really hold up much for me now as a teenager. There are plenty of other cartoons that have managed to still be enjoyable for me after all this time, and DKC definitely ain't one of 'em.
 
Tough choice. I am going to say Rugrats. I rewatched the show recently and it was almost as good as I remembered it, but I only want to see it in reruns.
 
I would bring back Sonic The Hedgehog Saturday Morning as it would help to resolve the cliffhanger from Season 2 and because I found the planned stories for Season 3 to be exciting.
 
What to bring back? If you've been reading the threads Kenny McCall & I started over in the Retro forum, you'd have a pretty good idea of what would interest me. But as for recent vintage.......!

I'd start with Fillmore. I got hooked on it largely because it dared to revive the QM concept of "Act 1", "Act 2", etc.. ABC & Disney gave up too soon, IMPO, when they could've moved the show to Disney Channel and hyped the blazes out of it. It still galls me to this day that the idiots at ABC dumped it in favor of "Even Stevens" reruns, well after "Stevens" had ended production.

Then, it'd be Justice League. As the team reconfigures at DC every few years, the Unlimited concept could've continued.
 
Angry Beavers- They don't make cartoons like this anymore. *sigh*

Invader Zim- Maybe it was cancelled because it was "too dark" for Nickelodeon. I really enjoyed this show.
 
This is seriously one of the hardest question I have ever had to answer. Because so many of the great cartoons I used to watch have been cancelled. But, in all honesty if I could bring back any cartoon. It's a toss up between Rescue Rangers/ 101 Dalmatians: The Series/Alvin and the Chipmunks. I really can't choose. There'd have to be like a top 5 or top 10.
 
I have some ideas:

"House of Mouse" (they could have done a lot with this show)

"Captain N: the Game Master" (they could have at least included "Super Mario Bros.", one of the most popular video game franchises of all-time)

"Beetle Juice" (they probably did all they possibly can, but the show could have much more potential, it was decent, but not good enough to follow a classic movie)

"Spaceballs: the Animated Series" (they could have done so much better with this show)

"Looney Tunes" (there are many ideas that I can think of that would have made great episodes, but unfortunately, there cannot be any more new episodes)

"Tiny Toon Adventures" (this show is a classic, but it could have had some improvements, though I cannot think of any right now)

"Gumby" (they had many blockheads on the show, so all of them could have met to take out Gumby and his friends)

"Care Bears" (the villains could have teamed up to take out the Care Bears)

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (they probably did all they can with this show, and do not get me wrong, it is a classic, but I personally feel that they could have done more with this show, I do not know what specifically, but maybe more things with the villains, and maybe making more mutant heroes, as well)

"The Legend of Zelda" (there were not enough episodes, they had much material to make more episodes)

These are all I can think of right now, but I will post if I come up with anything else.

Looneytunes/Disneytoons
 
If I can bring back ANY cartoon, it would have to be Galaxy High. It lasted only 13 episodes, but it was probably the most original series to ever come out of the 1980s (and one of a few not based on a preexisting toy, comic, live-action, merchandising, or book line) and a perfect mesh of Japanese animation and American storytelling that has yet to be truly emulated.

Not to mention the fact that the series has the greatest "plot theme song" on an animated series ever made.
 
For me, Visionaries, hands down. It only ran for one 13-episode season. It got canceled due to ratings, but what do you expect when your cartoon only airs at 9:30 am on Sunday morning. I had to skip church just to catch it, which may or may not be the cause of my current life of crime. It was a great series: Medieval fantasy with equal parts science and magic, knights that could turn into animals, beautiful, exotic locales, and the most engaging villains I've ever seen in a cartoon.

It never got to reach the peak of its potential. That show could easily have run for five years without getting old, especially with G.I. Joe's own Flint Dille at the helm. Oh, and I second Jeff Harris' recommendation to bring back Galaxy High. As Rotten Roland might say, "I love it! I love it! I love it!"
 
This is easy for me. It's gotta be the 2002 He-Man. That show got shut down way too soon. It needed at LEAST one more 13 episode season. I've read that they were set to have Hordak and She-Ra featured in what would've been the show's third season.
 
Scooby Doo: The original incarnation that started with 'Where Are You?' and ended with '13 Ghosts'. I'd have liked to see where the show would have went in the 86 season.

Superpowers Team: Galactic Guardians: JUST when the Superfriends ditched the cheesiness and started focusing more on the action, it gets cancelled. Another season or two, and the show could have rivaled Ghostbuster's first season in terms of sheer awsomeness on Saturday Morning.

My Little Pony (G1): 32 1/2 episodes (or 65 10 minute shorts) needed another 32 1/2 episodes to give it a full 65 episodes. Glo-Friends, Potato Head Kids, and Moon Dreamers could have had their own shows.
