Top 25 *Primetime* Animated Series of all time
« on: October 12, 2006, 10:51:19 am »
IGN has compiled their list 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?
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

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.  :'(

I can't believe they don't have "The Tick" on the list, thats just pathetic.  The Tick is easily better then several of those.

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

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

#20 Johnny Quest?

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.

Then wouldn't you say the title of the thread would be misleading?

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.
