Title: Top 25 *Primetime* Animated Series of all time
Post by: MustardTent on October 12, 2006, 10:51:19 am: IGN has compiled their list (http://tv.ign.com/articles/736/736051p1.html) of the top animated series of all time.

I like that Futurama is so high on the list, but I think it's time for the Simpsons to start dropping. Maybe they were #1 in 1997, but now?

Also, I loved Aeon Flux, and I'm sorry I missed out on The Maxx.

They're up to 4 "volumes" on DVD now and have close to 60 episodes... What more do you want?

They have 3 full seasons. But, I think they stopped to make a movie.

The two episodes from season for are terrible. Made me very sad. :'(

Cartoon Network only shows about 20 total episodes, or so it seems. :(

It looks like they should air a few new ones soon.

Johnny Quest sucked, Hard, and frequently.

Most of the others are really good though.

I totally agree.

However, maybe if you all would kindly go read the title a little closer again, you would understand why these shows were left off. ;) :laugh2:

We decided to give cartoons their due and pick the top 25 animated series ever to appear in a primetime slot.

It should be noted that this list contains no anime (that's for a different list) and obviously no Saturday morning cartoons (ditto).

Explains some of the missing shows.

Hmm. . . guess ATHF is like Chinese food since I've seen 59 episodes and it seemed like 20. :)

Still gotta see 60 on up, tho. And a movie? Sweet. :)

Please send me your bank account info, no problem. Refunds abound!

Seriously though, I did skim over the "primetime" part of the title. I can fix that.
