There is no disputing that cartoon themes from the 1990s were absolutely DA BOMB! From Cartoon Network, to Nickelodeon, Kids WB, Fox Kids, The Disney Afternoon and even PBS Kids, the competition for children television was stiff. So what was going to get kids watching the network's shows instead of their competitor's? Catchy intro songs!

Ready 2 Retro took on the undertaking of trying to rank the top 10 intros from 90s cartoons. Joining along for the adventure is first time guest @khansynth!

Get ready because this episode is an absolute BLAST!
