Danger Mouse (1981–1992)
10/10

Warning: Spoilers
This is, in my humble opinion, the best cartoon series I've ever watched - and I've watched a lot of cartoons. My favorites used to be the classic, late forties and early fifties Warner Brother cartoons, but the first time I saw Danger Mouse, I knew that I'd found a new favorite. As a Bond movie fanatic, I wasn't offended that a cartoon was spoofing the genre. (The fact that it spoofs the James Bond series is not a spoiler, since that's obvious from the cover. The fact that, if anything, it's better than some of the Bond movies shouldn't come as a surprise, either.)

I loved the theme song, the premise, the characters, the "pow/zowie" graphics, in short, everything about this series. In fact, when I moved to an area that didn't show it, I had a friend tape it for me and mail me the cartoons. I have literally worn out my VHS tapes of the original broadcasts, so you can imagine how happy I am that it's finally available commercially. In my eyes, this is not only a "must see" - this is a "must have."
