Yes I remember Woody the Woodpecker, and Popeye, and all of the old cartoons.  I have them on DVD now and watch them on Saturday mornings just like old time, just now it isn't at 6am that I am up to watch them, and they wait for me.. ;D

Some of the Dollar spots, (where everything is a dollar) have older cartoons like Woody Woodpecker, Betty Boop, old Superman, ect. on Dvd. I would look around at your local Dollar spots for them. Good Luck!!

Growing up, I had several VHS tapes of '6 Hours of Cartoons!' - chock-full of old-school Warner Bros., Disney, Popeye, Felix the Cat, and other cartoons. My brother and I would watch those endlessly. I've still got them - need to find a way to convert them to DVD!

Sometimes on TCM, in between movies, they play the really old Warner Brothers cartoons and others that were originally played in movie theaters. I've seen old Looney Tunes and some other really random obscure ones on there.

I agree that the older cartoons were much better. It's not because I was a kid then. I atill watch them today when I can. Perhaps if enough pwople requested it, Nickelodeon would run an oldies cartoon segment on ocassion.

I always loved Popeye cartoons. They're still awesome by todays standards-- some episodes were very progressive for their time too. Tom and Jerry still rock. Speed Racer was cool. If I think of others I'll post them.

I honestly think the best time for cartoons was the late-80's/early-90's though. Duck Tales, Tail Spin, Chip n' Dale, Batman TAS, Freakazoid, etc. etc. All amazing work.

Cartoons pretty much suck today. All crappy anime-styles with NO substance whatsoever. But once in a while there's a gem. The last good one I really enjoyed was Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.

Woody Woodpecker, Batman TAS, Popeye, Pirates of Dark Water, Young Robin Hood, Duck Tails, Bucky-o-Hare, Blinky Bill, Titan A.E., Swat Kats, Sonic SatAM and others. Many of the old cartoons were great.

Avatar the Last Airbender was a decent cartoon made one or two years ago which shows people can still make them but they don't. Instead, they are making ones like Spongebob Squarepants, and Chowder.

Once in a while, one of his movies will be aired. There is a cgi one where is has a zombie friend. Do you know how Casper died?

I remember it. Disney also created a live action movie about it.

The new series is called Sonic X, which I don't think is as good as the previous ones. Sonic' villian, Robotnik, is now called Eggman.

Well I can't say I'm a fan of the new cartoons either, but I did love Sailor Moon growing up and I still watch it now but on VHS. I think the cartoon I miss the most though is Captain Planet. Today cartoons are mainly about getting a cheap laugh and so reminiscing about the old cartoons is much more entertaining.

Wait... he died? When did that happen?

Disney did make a movie but nothing is ever as good as the original.

Actually I rather like the new Sonic X. But then that could be because I never followed it much in the original version.

Casper is a ghost.

On the wikipedia page for Casper, it says there is one movie that shows how Casper McFadden died. He stayed out too long in the snow, sledding, and died from an illness of the lung.

How about Quick Draw McGraw?  Underdog was certainly a favorite. I still remember the old songs that go with all the old cartoons. The younger members of my family two generations down think the old cartoons are the best!
