I loved Gargoyles so much when I was younger, and after revisiting the episodes after over a decade I was pleasantly surprised at how well it has held up. I've made a point of recommending it to my friends who were a little too young to have been in the target audience when it was on.

I didn't realize how fond I was of it until a friend told me he already knew that I thought he should watch the show and that I bring it up a lot as an example of a what "a kid's show can and should be". I hadn't thought of it that way, but he was exactly right. Much like Batman: The Animated series, Gargoyles showed that a "kid's cartoon" could handle mature themes and concepts and still be very entertaining for a young audience. The mythologies and literature that was melded in to the plot was a great example of that.

So... yes. Agreed, OP. Agreed.

Aw man, Batman and Gargoyles. We really did grow up in a great time for cartoons.

I mean, I think it's cool that there are a bunch of cartoons doing a kind of surreal thing (post modern? Whatever) and telling stories in a different way, but...

I really wish there were a few more shows with the kind of gravitas that Gargoyles and the DCAU brought to the game. It's my motto by now that stories influence who we are as people, and growing up with the kind of stories those shows told, slipped in between action scenes and hijinks, really helped me as a kid. Heck, maybe even as an adult.
