What shows would you pay good money to own episodes crammed onto a little GBA Cartridge? Keep in mind, eventually they will expand the capacity making it more worth paying $20 each.
I for one, because I'm watching it right now, classic Ren and Stimpy. The old show. Not the (Thankfully short-lived) Spike version, but the Classics, which Spike was smart enough to bring back instead. That show was a classic. And would go great with Spongebob.
Second, the original TMNT. I know, it's unlikely. The new one seems to be "in" now. And it'll probably never become a thought to Majesco. But I WANT THE OLD TURTLES!!
The Super Mario Bros Super Show.. Yes! If they could cram a week onto a cart, even better. Buy it by the week. Well, at least we'll have the DVD's.. I hope.
What else??
Great choices. Of course the Simpson's and family guy have to get there own carts.

it's log, it's log, it's big it's heavy it's wood. it's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good!
i too will give my vote of approval to ren & stimpy... that would probably be the only show that they would even consider releasing that i would pay money for.

R&S no doubt.
Just as long as they put the Gritty Kitty episode in there with Mr. Horse. Gotta love Mr. Horse.

They're going to have to improve the quality of the video on these cartridges before I'd be interested. I played Spongebob Squarepants Volume 1 on my computer shortly before its video card went belly up and I wasn't especially impressed. To put it in the most nautical terms possible, "Ahoy, mateys! There be choppy animation on the starboard bow!"

Rocko was easily one of the best nickelodeon cartoons.
Wacky Delly was one of the greatest episodes.

Robotech (without all the dialog at the beginning and end of the episodes)
Pedro Lambrini

Yep, I'd def buy Robotech. And Gatchaman! Anything anime with robots or cool vehicles would do me :D
If you're gonna have the Mario cartoons then you want the Zelda cartoons as well - just to finish it off! Maybe even the old PacMan cartoon (Miss Pac was pretty sexy :kiss:

I really do not understand why people didn't like the new Ren & Stimpy. Did you see "Ren Seeks Help?" The one where he goes in for a psychological evaluation with Dr. Mr. Horse? I'm a cartoon buff, I have stacks upon stacks of VHS tapes with stuff ranging from the 20's to today, and I can honestly say that "Ren Seeks Help" is the funniest cartoon I've ever seen.
"Wake up! Wake up you bastard! Wake up AND KILLLL ME MAN!"
Also, it's not cancelled or short-lived, they've simply ceased airing their animation block pending more episodes of their shows being produced. They simply jumped the gun, and would rather just pull it for a while than run infinite re-runs. There are more Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon episodes coming, including one movie-length episode titled "Life Sucks."
ANYWAY. I'll finish my thread derail by saying that a lot of the classics are available on DVD via Time Life Video, though you might want to hold off, as Spike themselves plan to release both the classics and the Adult Party stuff on DVD in the near future, in much better quality.
Fake Edit: Ask Raccoon Lad, I made him watch it. He enjoyed it.

Yea, Cap'n Redseyes is k'rect. I watched it, and I liked it.
I'd like to see some episodes of Super Book on GBA video, the earlier ones, before the magic bible got computerised.

Yeah, I saw Spikes R&S. And to paraphrase Mr. Horse.. No, sir. I didn't like it. It did not have the same feel as the originals do. It felt forced. My brother agreed. It was not the same and I will take the originals over the new ones anyday.
The originals had classics. Dog Show. (With George Liquor American.) Svën Høëk. (With Don't Whiz on the Electric Fence.) Son of Stimpy. (Which was originally banned from Nick. Stimpy farts, then spends his life looking for his "son". Classic!) Rubber Nipple Salesmen. (Featuring Rubber Nipple fetish Mr. Horse.) Ren's Toothache. Out West. (With the Hanging song.)
I loved the originals. I can't wait for the figurines to come out.

You know classic Looney Toons would be pretty cool. I may actually pick that up.

Oh! I'm sorry.. I thought you were a.. Circus Midget.
Did you see Fire Dogs Part 2? At the end Ren & Stimpy are sleeping in bed with the fire chief (who has magically morphed into Fritz the Cat creator Ralph Bakshi). He wakes up from a nightmare screaming about circus midgets, grabs an axe, and tries to kill them in classic dramatic R&S fashion.
God dammit. Admit it, you guys, the only one you saw was "Onward and Upward," and you hate "the new ones" because, in a silly cartoon show with absolutely no continuity or sense, the stars were (OH NOES) gay for one episode.
An episode, mind you, that was written and storyboarded way back in 1992.

Rocko...Ah, good times. I also vote R&S, I saw that a couple weeks ago and it was pretty funny.

Onward and Upward wasn't a very good R&S, I'll say that...it was also a bad one to start on, since alot of people I know saw that one and didn't bother seeing the following eps (which were pretty funny).

Rocko is great. :) I still have (and wear) a t-shirt of Spunky getting sucked up by the Suck-O-Matic (while Rocko is screaming) that I won as a kid.

I dunno. What was Onward and Upward about? I don't even remember the episodes I saw. That's how forgettable they were.
I'll give it one more chance when they bring it back..

"Onward and Upward" was the premiere episode, where Ren & Stimpy decide that their current home (the inside of a hobo's mouth) is just not cutting it. They end up moving into the spitoon at the local bar. After a while, they're kicked out, and return to home sweet home.
That's just the "plot," though. The rest of it is full of intentional "gross jokes" (i.e. eating phlegm for dinner) and really obvious allusions to Ren & Stimpy being a couple ("WHAT DID I TELL YOU? Who's the pitcher, who's the catcher???"). It's...a really weak episode, and for some reason it was the premiere, which turned everybody off.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to preach (especially in the wrong forum!), but I really don't think anybody gave this show a chance after that one.
