X=Men - Mutant superheroes battle both against the forces of evil and against a regular human society that fears and hates them. This is the Saturday morning series from 1992.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast - 60's cartoon superhero Space Ghost, along with his villainous sidekicks, host a late-night talk show, complete with confused-as-fuck guests.
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters - Nicktoon about teenaged monsters learning how to scare humans, and the wacky adventures they have along the way.
The Jetsons - At look at the life of George Jetson and his family, a typical family living in the distant future, as they deal with the pitfalls of future life. And a boss from hell.
Only shows I know about are The Jetsons (never saw an episode before this year) and X-Men, but I don't know which one I watched.
I went with X-Men because I've never really watched The Jetsons and liked whatever version(s) of X-Men I've seen before.

X-Men and Space Ghost were close
But while I liked X-Men, I never felt it was on par with Batman or Spiderman
So I went with Space Ghost

Looks like this one is gonna be tight. I voted real monsters....I was actually just recently trying to explain to my daughter that the monsters on a show I used to watch thought toe nails were treasure. Good times.

That's what she said, and I agree it is a close one.

This is a tough one. The Jetsons is pure classic, while X Men was entertaining as hell, first cartoon I remember watching that had a sense of drama. Aahhh!! Real Monsters was both inventive, and interestingly styled. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, while having the shittiest production ever (probably on purpose) was fucking hilarious. I'm torn.

Real nailbiter. I honestly didn't think this would be this close at all.
I went X-Men, mostly because it was one of my first introductions to the group. I remember it being one of the few shows that just HAD to watch every week no matter what. And yes, the young me was charmed by Wolvie's badassness just like everyone else.

While it wasn't my first experience with the X-Men, I was compelled to watch every single week.

I actually watched X-Men out of boredom. Hear me out, I would watch The Tick and since X-Men was on after it, I usually just watched anyways. The show wasn't horrible, I just didn't read comics, I had friends who did, but I had ADD as a kid and a comic book just didn't hold my attention. Another gripe of mine was that it always focused on maybe 3 or 4 X-Men (looking back, rightfully so) while the rest seemed to be just hanging out. Also, I was never big on Jubilee and hated Storm. I always wished they would've used Arc Angel or Nightcrawler, but that would've been too much blue onscreen. Side note, what was with the X-Men charcters and blue? It seemed like a bunch of characters were either blue or wore blue which might be the X-Men team colors?
Overall, I was always a fan of Beast and Gambit. Wolverine was alright, but everyone liked him, so it didn't really feel that special. I tried to like Cyclops at first, but he always seemed to get shit done without even really doing much since he was the leader, and he was kind of a douche. While I'm a mild fan today of the X-Men franchise, you couldn't even get me to talk about the show as a kid, it was just...there.

I always thought Wolverine's biggest redeeming factor was "He's not Cyclops"
I never watched X-Men as a kid, and Real Monsters freaked me out for some reason. I just wasn't into weird humor back then, so have less than good memories of that show. The Jetsons were before my time and I always preferred The Flintstones anyway, and Space Ghost was always hilarious and inventive, so that's my vote.

X-men for the win. Although I think if anyone else had ever seen BananaMan besides me we might have had a fair fight.

Chose Space Ghost with X-Men in a close second, I freaking hate any Hanna Barbara comedy cartoon.

I actually have to pull up proof that Banana Man exists when I mention it to someone, it drives me crazy that everyone I know outside my family, has no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

You, me and Pandajuice should form a BananaMan secret society or something. You two are the last that remain of the ones who have seen Bananaman. Sounds like an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

X-Men.
Watched Space Ghost as an insomniac (kinda) kid and it was hit and miss.
Aaahh!! Real Monsters was good, but it can't stand up to any of Nick's other awesome shows during the 90's.
Aaahh!! Real Monsters was the only contender for me, because god damn it ruled. Classic Nickelodion.
Jetsons was a'aight. It would have been way better if Rosie ran away with Mr. Spacely and the show followed them on a Bonny and Clyde style space robbery adventure, because they outclassed the other characters by far.

it was between xmen + real monsters with me
xmen was great at the time, although the focus on jubilee + the sentinels was annoying at first.
jetsons was bleh. the only cool episode was when george became super george. and anything w/orbitee.
real monsters was an awesome take on the monster genre. and it was done right.
space ghost coast to coast wasnt bad, but doesnt compare to real monsters or xmen

This one was close, but I think at 34 votes it's good enough.
