As somebody who loves anime, my love of animation started well before I saw my first anime. Bugs Bunny was my favorite wise-cracking animal growing up; he could get out of any situation with his witty one-liners and ultimate reverse psychology. So when Cartoon Network came out and played endless episodes of Looney Tunes, I was ecstatic, but the network's original content has stayed with me to this day.
Cartoon Networks' list of shows runs deep and has a plentiful selection of characters, old and new that fans love. I will warn you that my list has more of the classic characters, but I hope that if you're not familiar with some of them, you'll go and check out some of their shows when you get a chance. Also, this list will be excluding Adult Swim and anime characters, as well as the classic MGM, Hanna-Barbera, and Warner Bros. characters. With that being said, let's dive in.
