"Batman" never really went away. Tweaked. Revamped. Camped. Ditto for the shows about Spider-Man and Superman (no camp for the champ, however; Kal-El don't play that). 

"Scooby Doo" has been revisited and reworked, both via live-action productions and the current "Scooby Doo, Mystery Inc." series, the latter of which airs its season finale this week. Even "Speed Racer" has seen an update and an upgrade -- at least as far as the new animated series is concerned, as opposed to the awful "Matrix"-esque feature film.

But, ya see, therein lies the point more often than not: Some are best left remembered, best picked up on DVD, "All (insert number here) seasons!" 

"Thundercats" is back, and the new spin may be win-win, which lends itself to me drumming up a wish list of cartoons I'd love to see make a triumphant return. But maybe just re-airing the original episodes. I dunno -- add a director's commentary if you have to.
