Obviously there are some missing letters, but I challenge anyone to find a current cartoon that is better than the show above starting with the same letter.

That's going to be a bit difficult to do when you get to choose from all cartoons from the forties (Bugs Bunny) all the way up through those currently being produced today (The Simpsons) for your list.

Off the top of my head, I know Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, the new Shrek movie, the new Robin Hood movie, and hopefully the first part of Harry Potter 7 are coming out this year.

Yup, I checked, and Harry Potter is coming out in  November 2010 !!!!

5 - My point is that no cartoons started recently can compare to the cartoons I grew up with

Justice League (and Justice League Unlimited) was far and away superior to the version we got to grow up with--Super Friends. As a self-contained series Star Wars: Clone Wars can hold it's own with pretty much anything. Since kids today can still watch all of the cartoons (on the internet or one of three channels devoted exclusively to cartoons if not on network television) on your list and we have two (three) admirable additions, I guess that means that right now we are at the pinnacle of television cartoon history.

My point is that it is a bit unfair to generate a list from fifty years of movie (Bugs Bunny) and television cartoons and then use that to claim things aren't as good today as they were when you were a kid.

I also have to give props to the Ben 10 series (particularly Alien Force), and anything by Scott McCracken, including Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.  And Powerpuff Girls.

Samurai Jack was also an awesome series, which is why I enjoyed the Clone Wars micro-cartoons so much: they were basically Star Wars meets Samurai Jack.  For those wondering, that also seems to be the reason the current series looks the way it does, that they were mirroring the somewhat-blocky look of the micro-series.  For example, having the hair kind of sitting on their head in a chunk rather than individual strands of hair blowing about like a Final Fantasy cutscene.

Justice League (and Justice League Unlimited) was far and away superior to the version we got to grow up with--Super Friends.

Basically every DC cartoon from the time they resurrected Batman in the early 90s are quality material.  I'm even enjoying the Batman one-offs that they're doing now where he teams up with the Lantern Corps or Blue Beetle or whomever.  What's also ridiculous is that, for all the praise that the new Arkham Asylum game is getting for its gameplay and Batmanniness, the primary reason I want to play it at this time is because Batman and Joker are voiced by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill.  Go figure.

Blasphemy!

We covered all the good ones.

I did, when it first came out I thought it was awesome, then it kinda got odd as it went on.

Cuz wishbone is 100% wyn.

It was the reason I bought it and I was not disappointed with the voice acting. Though some of the swearing was a bit unnecessary. Guess you can't keep a prison full of crazies language from being 100% good.

True but back then it was VERY violent.

Got rid of some stuff before some other stuff hits some kind of a fan.  A little collateral damage involved, sorry to those who are caught in the crossfire.

did you kill the pokemon stuff?

pretty much. I figured it'd happen...
