X-Men cartoon returns to Fox Family this weekend
As part of the "Jetix" block, Fox is rerunning the old X-Men cartoons from the '90s beginning this weekend.
I think it will follow Spidey. Good new for all you mutie-lovers out there. :-)

That 90's X-Men cartoon was probably one of the best superhero cartoons ever. I miss it.

I'll second that. In my opinion, it was the BEST superhero cartoon series EVER. I've watched a lot of superhero toons over the decades and I really miss this one. This one is tons better than Evolution IMO.
It did go downhill a little right at the end if I remember right, but if they start it from the beginning, it should be a fun ride.
Makes me wish I had a good way to get shows from my D*TIVO to my PC to make a permanent DVD archive!

Spider-Man? Really? I liked the first couple season, but that show went bad, really fast as it got older. (Just my opinion, though).
Batman: TAS > X-Men > Superman > Justice League (I would say in time it would rise higher, but I'm still not sold on the rotating crew for the upcoming season...but S2 was damn good)

Yeah, there's no question Batman: TAS was the best. I'd say it's a toss up between X-Men and the 90's Spiderman for 2nd best. Not far behind are the 90's Superman cartoon and Justice League.

OK, I'll agree batman was good also, but better? I don't know for sure. There were some episodes of Batman I still remember for not liking.
Justice League is good, but my order would be:
X-Men > Batman > Justice League

Just to nit-pick: ABC Family not FOX Family. Remember, Disney bought Saban/Fox Family. Fox Family does not exist and FoxKids does not own the X-Men or Spider-Man cartoon, Disney does now.
And the X-Men cartoon was about 100x better than the Spider-Man toon! But nothing touches BTAS, and I hate saying that because Timm and Dini already have big enough egos.

Oh! Me, Me! I wanna play!
Batman:TAS>Superman:TAS>Justice League (It would appear that I am a Timm whore...and thats probably true. JL would have been lower if not for the stellar season 2)>x-men>Spiderman>Spawn(For the record I really enjoy all of these series)............................................................................................. ....................>Iron Man/Hulk/Fantastic 4 cartoons from the mid 90's. OK, they weren't that bad.
I think Spiderman really had a chance to be the greatest superhero cartoon ever with all the multi-part eps, guest stars, and how they stayed so true to the comic stories but something just was off. I found the animation to be pretty painful at times and the music was pretty bad.

I'll definitely try and catch a few shows though
