I'm upset with the order, but I love tons of the shows on there.

My question is why it isn't in the top ten. Go diaf.

I wasn't implying TMNT should be on the list... I was just expressing disgust with some of their choices, is all. Spongebob makes my brain melt.

Hmm... was Gargoyles ever in primetime?

I'll thank you to stop reading my mind (especially before you get to the embarassing parts). Invasion of privacy is a serious offense, you know.

Spongebob tends to pull off some funny, and often times very adult humor.

Just one of those shows that's hated because "WOMG! It's so stupppidddd! All of my other favourite shows that got cancelled because no one watched them were so much better!"

A lot of popular stuff gets that kind of abuse though, so it's not really a surprise. The popular thing these days is to hate popular things.

*DrSpengler* · 10-13-2006, 12:07 PM

Yeah, I also like Spongebob.

My favorite episode is the one where he and Mr. Krabs accidentilly poison the health inspector and then spend the rest of the episode trying to dispose of his corpse.

Good stuff.

Oh, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy ar the s***. Ernest Borgnine pwns joo.

...Actually, it's hated because it's just using the same jokes Rocko's Modern Life was using years ago, but yeah, it really pulls off funny original material pretty well, definatly a reason for superior cartoons to be cancelled over it. Beutiful really.

Especially when the popular shows are crap.

Code: Lyoko is'nt safe either, Codename: Kids Next Door is better than that ackwardly animated Moonscope farce, can you beleive there better at animating Fantastic Four than that? Odd.

No Family Guy is awesome, look it even got it's own video game.

Only REALLY good shows get video games <_<

Weren't the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons aired at night?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-14-2006, 02:29 PM

These lists are all made to stir up conterversey for the sake of their ad revenue/total hits. Lets just consider ourselves lucky that we're not discussing it on IGN's boards (aka Purgatory).

IGN sure as hell isn't qualified to make a list like this and it be cosidered reference material. They pander to the Simpsons so much, I wonder if they're bought off.....oh wait, they're owned by Fox. Solves that.

Well, if you factor in when primetime first became known as primetime...

How lame am I, considering that humorous?

Seriously, they aren't dealing with influential or historical animation, just today's most favored. Very little bias is apparent here in that The Maxx is the only one on the list I wouldn't expect everyone in America to recall right away. As an individualist, that was the one thing that made me very happy about this list.

IGN are pretty human guys and some of their lists are good, they give animation films better dues than other telivision or internet based lists (for example, Channel 4's "greatest cartoons ever" listed "Legend of the Overfiend" above Bambi. That's right, a HENTAI movie)

*Dr. Doom* · 10-14-2006, 04:28 PM

Sweet. pr0n > Bambi

*Wes* · 10-19-2006, 04:55 PM

So basically they put close to every animated primetime show that they knew of on this list? Honestly, I couldn't come up with a list of 25 primetime cartoons off the top of my head -- period -- let alone a top 25 list.

Therefore, I think this list is kinda pointless.

*Deathknight* · 10-21-2006, 08:38 AM

I really want to know what King of the Hill is doing on that list. Also, how did South Park beat Beavis and Butthead?

**GK Punk** · 10-21-2006, 08:41 AM

Trust me, King of the Hill is hillarious if you've lived in Texas.

*Sewer Bull* · 10-21-2006, 09:12 AM

Hey, King of the Hill is hilarious for me and I've never been to Texas. I think it's good and deserves its place on the list.

And I find South Park more creative and better written than B&B.

**GK Punk** · 10-21-2006, 09:15 AM

I thought it was funny before living in Texas, but after living there it's got to be one of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen. So many in jokes.

(The Luanne Platter is a meal at Luby's for example. She was named after a dinner special

)

*Deathknight* · 10-21-2006, 11:13 AM

Yeah must be that I've never been to Texas or something because I don't find it funny at all. Kind of like how Megas XLR is hilarious if you're from Jersey like I am.

*Drtooth* · 10-24-2006, 03:01 PM

Mmmmhhh.... I feel mixed about this.

First of all... Am I the ONLY one P'O'd that Bullwinkle was never listed? But then again, I can't re,member if it quailfied for Prime time or Daytime. I love the Flintstones with a passion, but Bullwinkle totally blew them away. I feel Simpsons took MORE cues from that than the Flintstones, which it is constantly akinned to.

The other things that bug me... do Aqua teen et al AS shows even COUNT as Prime time? I thought prime time was like 6 or 7-midnight... and those shows all air at earliest 1 am...

And to save this from being a flame war, of COURSE Simpsons would be #1. I mean, we can all argue about how suck arse it has become, and how it's just not as good as Family Guy or South Park or something. It lasted a long time on Television, first of all. Scooby Doo is listed in many top cartoon lists, but (and I LOVE Scooby) it's not too spectacular a TV show to begin with. It lasted for years in some form or another since the late 60's, so basically it's seen as a great show for, if no other reason, it's accomplishments.

Secondly (not pulling the "Everything in prime time is a Simpsons ripoff" bandwaggon, here) more than HALF of these shows wouldn't exist without the Simpsons paving the way for prime time adult entertainement in the 80's/90's Flintstones and Bullwinkle paved that way for the Simpsons, but they brought the movement back.

But I do think that one was right, saying this was the "Trendy" 25. I never cared for Aeon Flux.... But it's still better than TV Guide's top 50 from years ago.... I agreed with most of them, but Pikachu and Wonder Woman on the list? If it came out a year later, Yugiph would be in Pikachu's spot. And Wonderwoman only appeared in SUperfriends before then.
