So what are animated shows that you feel got completely forgotten with time, or ended too quickly and have been forgotten? Maybe they were a show that left no impact or were really bad and forgettable to begin with. Share your Forgotten animated television shows here! Please share no more then THREE videos per post.

So I will start us out with a show Cartoon Network had high hopes for. It was in the same realm of Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jack Long, and Xiaolin Showdown, but never got as popular as it possibly deserved to be. The network spent a good amount of money on animation, but it just never came through for them. The show i am talking about is; "The Life and Times of Juniper Lee." It silently got to 40 episodes and was shunned to the "death hour" on television and Cartoon Network silently had it disappear.
-
Very very true. I forgot about that show existing. It wasn't like it was bad. It just didn't keep me coming back for more. I guess it was sort of bland or something... or something was missing. Not sure what it was. Shame, it had potential.
-
I didn't realize it had 3 seasons. But it was so silently on the network, no wonder it was forgotten.
A show in a similar vein, also taking place in San Francisco was, "The Mighty B (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-iR5rBXKWE)" with Amy Poehler. Completely forgotten. Nick promoted it was a new show coming, then sent it down the toilet very fast, despite seeming to try again with the show for a short time when they ran out of other shows to show.
-
Nick had a lot of shows that were quickly forgotten. I know a lot of people like, "Danny Phantom," but it was cancelled fairly quickly and didn't leave a mark on the animation industry. Same with TUFF Puppy, also by Butch Hartman. Both appear then disappeared as fast as they came, despite both having dedicated fan clubs.
-
Another show that is forgotten among the public was "As Told By Ginger."
But you wouldn't know it if you listened to Nickelodeon. The show got poor ratings, but Nick kept it alive for a pretty long time, though they didn't promote it till the show was about to end, and now they promote it as being a show of character evolving and having a female lead. I really think they just had to make a deal with Classy Kuspo before they quit with them... sort of send them off well, even though their shows were going downhill.
-
Here are two very forgotten shows trying to capitalize off "The Incredibles" film from Pixar.
One was on Nickelodeon and the other on Cartoon Network.
First the "Secret Saturdays (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Saturdays)" on Cartoon Network. Completely forgotten.
The other was the horrendous show, "The X's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X%27s)."
-
Pelswick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelswick) is a forgotten show that was on Nickelodeon.
Also now for two early ToonDisney shows; "The Weekenders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weekenders)" and "Lloyd in Space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_in_Space)." Apparently The Weekenders was a popular show, but I never watched it, because it was on ABC and UPN. I only watched Nick and CN.
-
Catscratch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utlkeFmLYQ4) on Nickelodeon reminded people of the 90s toons, but was completely shunned by Nickelodeon as a show when it aired.
This next show isn't even over yet, and it is already forgotten. It is Bunnicula on Cartoon Network.
-
Here are four more forgotten cartoons, all Canadian. They probably are not even remembered by Canadian kids and they aren't even that old.
Wayside (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTGUqPdmKy4), Grojband (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVqWVIL7IHg), Scaredy Squirrel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty9nU2759Fg), and Kid vs. Kat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xoZ0AeAN3A).
Why is nearly every Canadian Cartoon Flash animated?
-
Canada loves their Flash animation?
-
Two more Canadian shows that are forgotten.
Spliced (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mQzu6E4ZEc) and Jimmy Two Shoes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sJcjcWzm5A).
-
Don't forget, "Almost Naked Animals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGo_OtPERRo)" from our friends up north.
That is forgotten.
-
Remember this show? No? Thats the point of this topic. "Evil Con Carne" took place in the same universe as "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" and had many cross episodes.
-
So here's a question?
Are you asking people to go look for shows forgetten about just to keep posting links? Or are they actually supposed to have seen/remembered them and have noticed they have been forgetten or never talked about?
-
I remember all these "forgotten" shows. So far some were popular for a short spurt then just disappeared entirely. Like their fandoms were just "fair-weather" fans that came and went. I saw that with TUFF Puppy, and we will see it for modern shows like Loud House. They come and go real fast.
But other shows not as much. Take Kim Possible. You see their fans everywhere still. Same will happen to MLP, it's legacy will live on for awhile. Avatar fans are the same, they are around.
I think this topic is dedicated to what you remember or anyone else, but they are shows that just weren't popular and forgotten, or were good and forgotten, etc.

Bunnicula is an amazing show! I wish more people watched it!
-
I do like the fancy shaded FLASH animation Bunnicula uses, but CN put them in the death hours. I doubt they will keep going.
I haven't watched it to know if it is good or not. Shame if good shows are axed early.
-

Oh shit i remember this show. And it wasn't till recently I realized the show is called "Evil with Meat"
-
Evil with meat! You got it! ;D
-
I watched the bear one in Spanish I think.
There's this show I remembered this afternoon, but I just forgot it. I know I don't see many people talk about it.
-
What is it... any hints or clues? Maybe we can figure it out.
-
Left us far too soon.
-
What the hell?
Were people on drugs in the 80s? That music.... Lol! How can they sing that with a straight face?
-
I think it was called something like the adventures of Piggly Jakes or something.
It was like, a show about a young pig and his cow and duck friend. But it's actually older him telling his grandsons stories about his youth and things he learned. Like, not relying on a magic fish instead of studying and stuff like that.
Okay looked it up. It's called Jakers! The Adventures of Piggly Winks (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakers!_The_Adventures_of_Piggley_Winks)
-
I was gonna say, it's Jakers. I never watched it.
-
That song, ha ha! I've never watched that before myself. It really sounds like they have a song, then told someone to sing over the tune.
-
I just accidentally found a photo of this show, then I tried to remember what it was, and I finally found it.
"Brothers Flub." I never watched it, but i think it is pretty forgotten!
The Brothers Flub (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brothers_Flub)
It was apparently a failed Nickelodeon Show.
-
I remember that show... but don't. I never watched it either.
-

I haven't watched it to know if it is good or not. Shame if good shows are axed early.
Watch Bunnicula, it is a underrated yet good show! ;D
The book that the show is based on is better but I still think the Bunnicula show is good.
-
I'm not sure I trust that statement...
But I did like the books.
-
I had never heard of the books. Are they a fairly recent thing?
-
What???? How have you NOT heard of the Bunnicula books? Dude.
They're old! They were before I think I was in 4th grade.
It's about a family with 2 pets, dog and cat, and they find a rabbit and bring it in. But it's evil. And the dog and cat try and figure out what it is.
-
They started being published in the 1970s and ended in 2006.
-
I'd never heard of the books either.
-
How have you guys not heard of them D:
-
Guess it wasn't as big a deal as we may have thought.
-
I thought they were nice books.
-
They were alright.
-
I liked the book, "Where the Sidewalk Ends." All those poems by Shel Silverstein.
-
^ Yes, that brings back tons of nostalgia! I remember like in first grade, our teacher would read that when we were good for us. :D All the kids wanted to check that book out at the school library.
-
(Hey, on topic stay)
-
Otters from that thing. I like otters.
-
Oh yeah... Uh... I forgot it's name.
-
The red one and purple one.
-
PG & J Otter! That one!
-
Thats the one!
-
I thought the show, "As Told By Ginger" was super awkward all the time. I never liked any of the characters, and they were ugly to look at.
-
Here is a forgotten animated film from 1983. I wonder if @Umeko has seen this? She might like it. I haven't watched it fully. 80s rock music all throughout.
Rock & Rule (1983)
-
The X's, the Secret Saturday's, and Sym-Bionic Titan.
-
Clarence. It didn't deserve the bad rap it got and whenever people told me they didn't like it... I never said anything. I should of. It had deep characters and was just a fun show about being a kid and seeing the world through their eyes.
-
Haha, yeah, that was an interesting show. It wasn't as bad as so many people claimed.
-
Is Chowder and Flapjack considered forgotten?
-
Is Chowder and Flapjack considered forgotten?
There are still a handful of people in real life that still talk about these two shows.
-
For the most part, they are forgotten I would say, which is unfortunate. Some people do bring them up though, as pretty much every cartoon today had someone who worked on Flapjack.
