Category 9: Cartoons

Eric	Richard	Khurram	Derrick
The Simpsons	GI Joe	Darkwing Duck	TMNT

This is an odd category for me to write up. Much like video games, everyone has really specific preferences when it comes to childhood memories of Cartoons. Obviously, Eric’s pick of The Simpsons is based on more than just childhood memories, as the cartoon remains a viable show to this day. It is also the most commercially successful cartoon ever. Additionally, because I attached the caveat of “from your childhood” to this category, it likely ruled out Family Guy, or maybe not. I would still likely pick GI Joe, and Khurram might very well have taken Darkwing Duck. Simply put, I doubt Khurram can imagine growing up with Darkwing Duck. And I know that I could not have lived without GI Joe (and knowing is half the battle…sorry, I couldn’t resist). Of course another show that was influential in my childhood was the totally gnarly Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I mean I even went to see a Ninja Turtles concert when I was in second grade. Therefore, Derrick’s pick of TMNT was excellent in my eyes. Overall, I have no complaints about anyone’s picks in this category.
