5. What? My clever response isn't worthy of a reply?

You see, I put "I sure did" as the subject line making you think that I was answering your query in the affirmative. However! However, I put "not" in the message field which changed the meaning of my response entirely. Pretty damn clever.

Demona and him were my favorite characters.

18. Possibly the greatest story-arc!

The mythology, the weird sisters, the awesome fights between MacBeth and Demona.

Gargoyles and Batman: TAS were among the first American cartoons that had believable tragedy.

4. I fucking loved that show!

Still one of my top ten toons.

Great animation, stories, voice actors, it had the whole deal.

9. You get 5 bonus pointed because you referenced Exo-Squad.

Another classic. Saturday toon or not, that was great dark sci-fi.

14. It was kind of another golden age for cartoons

Lot of stuff, done fairly well in the traditional styles, but they were also willing to put a bit of an edge on some things (Gargoyles and Batman, I'm looking at you in particular). If you weren't in the mood for that, there was a lot of well-done lighter stuff too. It was great.

17. I remember thinking back then that those shows were unusually good for kid shows

I was in 9th grade when Gargoyles was on and I was hooked. Everything was so well written and interesting. Until it moved to ABC and they dumbed it down.

8. Yes, and it was awesome

Though, kinda confusing if you missed a couple of episodes.

10. That was one of things that made it awesome.

Overlapping story-arcs, you don't see that often in American cartoons.
