If you were like me growing up, cartoons were the highlight of your day. Even now, they can lend a sense of relief to the stresses of everyday life, and as a college student, any form of stress relief is a must-have. With the help of my lovely Odyssey community, here are just a few of the cartoons that made my childhood, and probably yours, the best it could possibly be!
1. American Dragon
2. Teen Titans
3. Fairly Odd Parents
4. SpongeBob SquarePants
How can you have a 'top cartoons' list and not include SpongeBob? This OG of the Nickelodeon network is still going strong today!
5. Phineas and Ferb
6. Winx Club
7. Rugrats
8. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Between Blue, Mac, Cheese, Frankie and all the other distinctive faces of Foster's Home, this show was funny and heart-warming and one of the staples of my childhood.
9. The Land Before Time
10. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
11. Courage the Cowardly Dog
Though this particular show was a little creepier than most, it was still able to draw audiences in with its unique concept of a fearful pup saving the day.
12. Naruto
13. X-Men: Evolution
14. Codename: Kids Next Door
15. My Life As a Teenage Robot
16. Totally Spies
17. Avatar: The Last Airbender
This is possibly the best TV show of the bunch. The creators were able to form interesting storylines and dynamic characters featuring strong females that could stand up for themselves. Plus, Zuko's character arc is the definition of perfection.
