Yeah, that's why I didn't mention them. Haven't watched them...can't have an opinion.

Now the barely animated Marvel toons from the 60's those are sad. Though you can't go too wrong with real Jack Kirby art.

Also if you want to see a show like Gravity Falls I highly suggest watching Scooby doo MI or detetionaire
Well I know AT and RS have depth to a certain point, Ive seen them (more of RS), but theyre not a serious part of their stories. It's more what holds everything together...unlike Uncle Grandpa.

Ive seen some of Mystery Inc. I lost track of it but Id like too go back and finish.

Yeah but that is still depth, that is still something that is there and is more important and crucial to their shows than wackiness, I mean if the shows were actually based on wackiness then I would't hold them up with such high regard( I like Ug dont get me wrong but it is no where near as good as AT) so yeah some of the shows dont have a story line like graviity falls but that doesn't mean they are void of depth and rely on wackness for humor( and to be fair Gravity Fall relys too much on meta and quirkiness for their humor).

Id say wackiness is just as important to AT as its storylines. I mean thats what it set out to be...a cartoon with over the top characters.

I don't think GF relies on quirkiness. Mabel and Soos do but it more so uses other franchises for its plots like the Jurassic Park and Video Games episodes.

Im not sure what metta humor is....self referencing? I dont think GF does that.

Continued....

Ultraforce - Never heard of it? There's a reason. Both the show and the Malibu comics it was based on were both cheap knock offs trying to emulate the success of the X-Men cartoon.

Street Sharks - Bland and monotonous TMNT rip off.

Pinky, Elmyra, & The Brain - One of those shows that makes you go "what we're they thinking?"

Here's some of mine, a lot of these shows aired in the UK on Channel 4, which was seemingly the dumping ground for all the Saturday morning shows nobody wanted (though the saving graces of the channel's output was Jayce, Sonic Satam, and Once Upon A Time...Life/Space)

Adventures of T-Rex
The Stone Protectors
Darkstalkers
Goober and the Ghost Chasers
My Little Pony Tales (earlier series, often refered to as G1.5 of the franchise)
Hammerman
Pro-Stars

Star Street
Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic Underground
(no denying that it has an awesome theme song and premise though, and there are at least seven good episodes

I forgot about Ultimate Muscle. That show really sucked. I remember being excited about it because I'm a wrestling fan, but I thought it was just so horribly done. Ugh. Not my cup of tea at all.

MLP Tales was horrid. I'll agree to that.
Phineas and Ferb started out great...2012 and on and I lost interest.
I will admit I like Adventure Time. There is some depth to it, if you watch it. Marceline and Ice King/Simon Petrikov for example.

Do all those terrible anime dubs that used to air in the late 90's and early 2000's count? The damn cartoon channels were filled with them at the time.

Popeye cartoons with Brutus instead of Bluto

1970's Tom and Jerry, where they were allies instead of adversaries

1990's Pink Panther where he talks

Lotta people here need to watch more cartoons. Late-era Simpsons among the "worst"? Really?

I mean, much as I LOVE 12 Oz. Mouse and Moral Orel, and as much as they're truly "great" shows, they're surrealist and absurdist and not everyone is going to "get it". But stuff like late-era Simpsons or modern Nick stuff? Really? The "Worst"? Compared to 1970s dreck like "Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home" or "Gilligan's Planet"? Seriously??

Some people have absolutely zero objectivity and are confusing "The Worst" with "Stuff They Don't Particularly Care For". Even in its current state, for example, The Simpsons is STILL a much better show than 90% of all cartoons ever made. It only sucks compared to the first few seasons, and again, that's not even fair.

Agree. Don't understand the hate for the later seasons of The Simpsons. Sure it's not at the level of the early seasons (what is?) but the new episode this past Sunday still had me laughing. It'll be a sad day when The Simpsons airs its final episode.
