Sadly TMNT didn't make the cut ;P

But here's there list for anyone who cares.

Nice list. About 2/3 of the shows I watch on a daily basis are here, the exceptions being The Critic, The Maxx, The Life and Times Of Tim, The Tick, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Archer and TLA/TLOK.

Avatar the last airbender/ Legend of Korra grabbed the 6th spot pretty damn impressive considering the other shows it beat out.

Spectacular Spiderman Made The cut whohooooooo

*AT-Man* · 10-07-2013, 04:32 PM

Avatar and Ren&Stimpy FTW, but Metalocalypse should've been there too.

My 666th post. Iä!

Lots of MTV and adult comedies there, meh.0

Pretty obvious list for the most part, but still decent. I think nearly every animated show I've actually watched since my late teens is on there. Samurai Jack and Regular Show being the two biggest omissions.

*Donatello19* · 10-07-2013, 05:46 PM

Gravity Falls, yeah!

*NinjaMan* · 10-07-2013, 05:47 PM

Good to see Spectacular Spider-man up here. That was a great toon that ended way too early. And to think that abomination Ultimate Spider-man has taken it's spot. And I loved the Tick. Show always had me in tears. King of the Hill was another classic I enjoyed. Batman the animated series to me is one of the best American toons ever.

The list doesn't surprise me at all. As CyberCubed mentioned, there's a lot of grownup/adult cartoons here. Typically these cartoons for adults use immense satire for the comedy shows and darker themes for the more serious-oriented cartoons. It's not a bad list or anything, but it's fairly predictable though. I mean no huge surprises or anything.

*CyberCubed* · 10-07-2013, 10:52 PM

Its no surprise most of the adult comedies are there.

Should have been more superhero/action cartoons, the only ones they have is B:TAS and Spectacular Spiderman. No Superman, Batman Beyond, Young Justice, Justice League, Teen Titans, any TMNT cartoon, etc.

The 4kids TMNT IMO does have some adult qualities to its action that in many ways is more mature than Spongebob at its most mature (and arguably parts of Nick's TMNT since there's some satire there). Still, its a pretty good list with what you might expect at #1 and likely #2, and many of these are shows I should give a try. Nice to see that IGN separated away the anime. Young Justice could have also cracked this list.
