Forgotten Cartoons

Blazing Dragons: A show about a group of dragons that went on fantasy adventures to fight evil humans. While it does have a loyal cult following, it does seem like it's fallen into obscurity outside of the following it has. It aired really late at night on Toon Disney

Katie and Orbie: A show that played out like a storybook. It was about Katie a young girl who met an alien named Orbie who crash landed on Earth and they experienced new things. It aired on PBS for about a year (1996 - 1997) before moving to The Disney Channel from June 2, 1997 - December 31, 1999
 
Children's/young teen shows- Martin Mystery (although I think I see someone has him as their profile pic), Totally Spies, 6Teen, Eek the Cat, C-Bear and Jamal, George Shrinks

Adult- 3 South, Undergrads, Good Vibes, The Adventures of Chico and Guapo

I remember that show. I used to watch it on PBS, although I mainly just remember the opening theme and one episode where Orbie was sick. I don't recall it moving to the Disney Channel though.

I think that Braceface is pretty much forgotten. It used to air on Fox/ABC Family and lasted for a couple of seasons, but I don't see it brought up too much. In terms of anime, I also don't think that Flint the Time Detective is remembered either. It was much shorter than the other anime series that aired on Fox/ABC Family and wasn't as memorable compared to something like Monster Rancher.
 
Totally Spies and Braceface might be forgotten in the US, but definitely not here.

Braceface is still aired here regularly. And Totally Spies had 156 episodes and a movie and aired in Europe for over 15 years.
 
Pirates of Darkwater

Real Adventures of Johnny Quest

Will post more as I ponder if they qualify or not...That and I can see the dawn.

Wow, never know Totally Spies was on that long. I only remember it and Martin Mystery being on for a year or two in the US. I do remember Braceface also, although I agree it's not overly memorable.
 
One of my favorites , Time Warp Trio, I think is kind of forgotten if not heavily remembered. I watched it when it was on Saturdays on NBC and loved it . Still do watch it on the DVD recordings I have from when I recorded it on Discovery Kids.

I never would have considered Totally Spies as a forgotten series in the U.S. It seems to be the most popular series from Marathon and I think it had a pretty good run on Cartoon Network. Braceface still airing regularly is more of a surprise though.

An affectionate parody of spy fiction featuring three high school chicks in cat suits is REALLY hard to forget.
 
Dinky Di's, Clyde, Dragon Flyz come to my mind to name a few... As well as shows like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Fish Police, Omer and The Starchild, Ninja Robots or BoBoBobs. Maybe even the likes of Tigersharks, Conan The Adventurer, Project Geeker, Centurions, The Mask, Sky Commanders, Galtar, Pirates of Dark Water, Wild Cats, Bonkers, Highlander or Jumanji. All seem forgotten to me.

Was gonna mention Centurions myself in my previous post, but thought it would be TOO obscure. Pirates of Dark Water was great and there was the animated Ace Ventura cartoon and Marzupilami.

Edit: Looking back on it, Pirates of Dark Water was an amazing show and was quite ahead of its time. Too bad it never got a proper resolution.
 
Jimmy Two Shoes was a pretty forgotten show.
In Portugal it was forgotten because it only aired on SIC at like 7:30am once and when the series finished they nevwr had to rerun it. Because of that, very few people know of its existence here.

I brought it up just because it didn't seem like it gets talked about much and I don't remember seeing that much material from it online like more popular shows.

No I understand. There is material of it out there...Just nothing I can share without getting banned.
 
I know quite a lot of forgotten cartoons and some cartoons that were largely forgotten here for opposite reasons. I think I should make a list later, as it focuses on the Portuguese side of things.
 
Another one that came into my mind is PB&J Otter. I remember seeing it in the Disney Channel like 20 years ago. Did it ever replay on Toon Disney? If it did, I know for an absolute fact that it was gone by the fall of 2001. The only specific episode I remember is one where it was really hot and the stuck up rich kids of the town would not let anybody into their air conditioned house.

I believe we never got to see it in Portugal.

PB&J Otter never aired on Toon Disney. With the exception of TaleSpin (Which eventually came back to the lineup), Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Bump in the Night (Those two aired on the lineup from its launch until Spring 2001), and Mickey's Mouse Tracks (Which was only on the Toon Disney lineup from its launch until I believe, Fall 1999), Toon Disney didn't get rid of any shows until Early 2002

No way those qualify. Those were immensely popular.

I feel that forgotten cartoons tend to kinda suck, which is why people forget about them. I think a lot of Disney's old cartoons qualify.

Happy Digimon day!
And Colorado 150 day!
Happy 15th anniversary to Secret Mountain Fort Awesome!

It should've ran for as many seasons and episodes as its post-predecessor Uncle Grandpa did.
I wish Imgur wasn't allowed on this forum until the time is right for a return since it's been unavailable in the UK since last September, so I don't see why people use links from the site for here when it's no longer available in the UK and I'm really angry that their parent company made this stupid decision.
Happy 45th anniversary, MTV.
MeTV Toons is a great channel when it comes to classic cartoons, but we know it can be way better. The Duck4Real (me!) elaborates on this in his latest YouTube vlog. Watch it!
