Also I'd love a Beast Wars movie. Anything for more Dinobot. What's Scott McNeil up to these days, lol
I want to say Freakazoid, but I feel like it would be horrible now unless they got it on like adult swim or something.

It is just so effing disturbing. Would love to see this done in live-action.
Wait, why was ThunderCats (2011) cancelled?
Did it do that poorly? I remember loving the animation but finding the writing lacking.

Even now Pirates of Dark Water is incredibly originally. It still holds up. More than any other show it deserves a reboot and proper ending. It is the only show that could equal are top Avatar the Last Airbinder if done right.
the only one i really wanna see make a comeback
terry is a magnificent batman.
As others have mentioned, I'd like to see a 10-episode season of The Critic. Just because it would be funny to see Jay Sherman's views on current movie trends.
Jon Lovitz said he would love to do it, but there are some major problems with bringing back the old cast.
Christine Cavanuagh (Marty Sherman) died four years ago. Charles Napier (Duke Phillips) died in 2011. Doris Grau (Doris Grossman) died in 1995. Park Overall (Alice Tompkins) is busy with politics.

With the styles they seem to be adopting lately I don't think I want my childhood favorites tarnished tbh.
Oh wow, I had totally forgotten this existed. Only cartoon I have watched that actually has the Phantom in it. In my country his comics used to be huge.
This would be my other choice.
Mission Hill was a great underrated show, and it deserved to last much longer than it did.
Yeah, I rememeber watching it on AS a while back and being astounded by how good it was. Shame how criminally short it ended up being.
The Critic with good writers at the helm would be absolutely perfect for a modern series. There's so much material they could spoof from modern movies mixed with the shinanigans of Jay Shermans life.
It was a really fantastic CG project with a grew cast and writing. I really do hope one day it does comeback, i'd be so happy if it did.

So much this. Tron Uprising was a fantastic show that got screwed over by Disney XD schedules and sadly got cancelled.

Gendy actually said on a Samurai Jack panel that he'd be totally up for finishing it/doing another season if he got the oppurtunity to aswell. (plus the series setup pretty nicely for one more season imo)
Be careful what you wish for.

Most of the cartoons already mentioned in this thread are good picks, but I will do specific shoutouts for those that remain unfinished (Pirates of Dark Water, Symb Titan ect) and Darkwing Duck since the Ducktales reboot is fantastic and they are playing with my heart by him being there already.
But I see no one mentioned The Mighty B! yet. I freaking loved that show and it unfortunately only got 2 seasons. The Middle Name of Bessie episode is one of my favorite episodes of anything, ever.

I know I'm probably the hundredth person to suggest it, but it's really so obvious
Street Sharks
These guys were so awesome--excuse me--jawsome. They were total beach bum sport it up but also science now and then college bros turned shark bros who ate nothing but hamburgers (pizza is gross sewer dweller food), caused massive damage to city infrastructure with no repercussions, swam through concrete like it ain't even a thing, rode sick custom motorcycles, and had to fight against constant untruth as reported on the television by a power-hungry egomaniac who frames the shark bros and their way cool science dad for his evil deeds. And the ladies were totally into them, no questions. I mean, just look at those teasingly unbuttoned shorts.
It's the perfect cartoon to bring back in today's political climate.

If we are going to bring back TMNT knock-offs, Biker Mice from Mars should be revived too
dunno that I'd want one without Lorenzo Music
You never saw Phantom 2040?
for everyone saying visionaries, Fletchen would agree
I can see Chip N Dale rescue rangers coming back. Even Talespin. Probably not gummi bears.
So many shows I'd recommend mentioned from silverhawks, galaxy rangers, centurions, swat kats, m.a.s.k. , bionic six, dinosaucers, D&D, Might orbots, real ghostbusters, etc
So let's see Saber Rider
They could bring Jem properly or Pinky and the Brain.
Count Duckula. Pink Panther.
it would be interesting to see what they'd do if they brought this back since the reboot was good.
Or something like this.

Agreed. Or just give me a new Legion series.
The C.O.P.S. would totally be the bad guys in the modern age, right?
After the show ended, they made a Sega Genesis game based on the property. They brought in the writers for the show to write the scenario for the game, and they used it as an ending for the story. The Sega Genesis game has some kick ass cutscenes and it tells the story of them gathering the final of the six seals and saving the world. This black thing is like the living embodiment of the darkwater:
The game is a ho-hum side scrolling action rpg, but between levels it has lots and lots of cutscenes like this that tell a good chunk of story. It also tells how you beat that fat one eyed pirate for good.
That sounds awesome. How did they get this greenlit, though, considering the cartoon was cancelled?
Two of my favourites have already been mentioned: Exosquad, which for a sci-fi cartoon about space warfare was surprisingly nuanced for western animation at the time, and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. I always disliked the name but loved the concept and the toys.
I admit, as a child of the 80s, my memories are basically based on the toys that came out and thus my taste for reboots basically comes down to what kind of new toys I'd like them to make. See how much changing cartoon advertising laws screws kids up?
For instance, M.A.S.K. probably in no way, shape, or form stands up as entertaining today, but man I'd love to see (good) modern releases. Same with something like Dino Riders. And I'd love more Starcom toys.
I think this still holds up today but I haven't seen it and I'm not sure it was ever released on DVD or anything, but I'd love a Spiral Zone revival.
I'd be curious to see what characters they'd get for a modern day Captain N.
