(#7) Freakazoid!
- Paul Rugg, David Kaufman, Joe Leahy
A cult favorite cartoon from the Kids' WB programming block, Freakazoid featured comedic superhero antics and goofy parody. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by other WB shows such as Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain. The show would only last two seasons, but has been fondly remembered by those that appreciated the show's random references, off-beat humor, and its questions about the movie Congo.
(#4) The Oblongs
- Will Ferrell, Pamela Adlon, Jean Smart
The animated black comedy featured Will Ferrell as the voice of the limbless Bob Oblong, the patriarch of a family of freaks. Despite the show's witty yet gross humor, The Oblongs was canceled after its first season on The WB. Luckily, fans got to see the series in its entirety on Adult Swim.
(#3) The Tick
- Mark Hamill, Micky Dolenz, Brad Garrett, Rob Paulsen, Kay Lenz, Jeff Doucette, Jess Harnell, Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman
This parody of superheroes and their day-to-day lives was cult favorite on Fox Kids. The nigh-invulnerable Tick's goofy crime fighting adventures made fans scream out "SPOON!" in victory. After the cartoon was canceled, it would inspire not one, but two attempts at a live action version.
(#8) SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron
- Barry Gordon, Charles Adler, Gary Owens
This action cartoon got lost in the shuffle during the '90s, and aired in syndication on TBS. SWAT Kats saw vigilante pilots T-Bone and Razor fight evil and monsters with their highly weaponized jet. The show was reportedly pushed under the rug after Ted Turner, owner of TBS, expressed displeasure at the level of violence featured in the cartoon.
(#14) Histeria!
- Tom Kenny, Rob Paulsen, Frank Welker
In the midst of the Kids' WB programming block was Histeria!, an educational cartoon that aimed to be actually funny. This cartoon covered historic events and figures with skits and entertaining songs. But while the cartoon is fondly remembered by fans, the show's impact was overshadowed by other, more successful Warner Bros. cartoons such as Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain.
(#1) Gargoyles
- Keith David, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Jeff Bennett
The critically lauded Gargoyles featured a compelling story and a serious tone that was missing from many cartoons. The series followed a group of medieval gargoyles who defend modern-day New York City from ancient evils. Despite its loyal fanbase, the show didn't make record ratings for Disney and seemed out of place in its otherwise upbeat cartoon line-up. Gargoyles was canceled after three seasons, though it continues to crop up in comic book form.
