Courage the Cowardly dong
This is something you watched as a kid? :shock:

Heh, once when my friends were talking about what ninjas wear, I mentioned that when I was seven, I would watch "the ninjas who wore just belts and eyemasks." Later, I realized that they also wore wristbands and anklebands. You guys should know whom I'm talking about. They've already been mentioned by name.

I used to watch Tintin. Funny, I haven't even thought about it until you mentioned it.

Other than that, used to be a big fan of Duck Tales.

Maybe he's proud to say "NOT Sesame Street" because that makes him different. Or maybe he's young enough that SS had started to suck by the time he could have been watching. (From what I've seen, it's become basically unwatchable to older viewers.)

I watched mostly Tom and Jerry and Ren And Stimpy when I was a lad, which accounts for my somewhat surreal sense of humour later on in life

Modern animation are often plagued with the idea that cartoons are for kids. Some good animated films failed because of this... idea and a dumb public complaint that all this stuff is harmful to children even if it shouldn't be for them.
