I would have to say Trigun, but that is anime, infinitely superior to mere cartoons.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Clone War shorts

Anime is defiantly better, especially Inu yasha.
On that note,
I lobe Invader Zim, Family Guy, and the Simpsons.

I always liked the absurdity of The Mr. Bill show.

(Interestingly,here in the Real-Life father knows best state,the UK,Our government pressured the makers to change the name to Teenage mutant HERO turtles-I think they were afraid kids would take the Ninja term to heart,maybe dress in black and break into houses slitting throats and stuff)

ON the air now...

Right on!

Without a doubt my favorite series is Aqua Teen Hunger Force :)

Sealab 2021
Simpsons
Family Guy
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Spongebob

Right on!
pfft, inuyasha sucks.

I would have to say Trigun, but that is anime, infinitely superior to mere cartoons.

Ah, yes, because everything must always be better than something else; everything must be formed into hierarchies. One simply can't agree that anime and western style cartoons are both quite good! And heaven help you if you try to see the world in shades of gray! Heh, "my preference is infinitely superior to your preference!" Right anarchic statement, that.

Myself, I love Trigun. Brilliant show. But so are Tom and Jerry, Rocky and Bullwinkle ('specially when it's spelled correctly!), and Courage the Cowardly Dog, just to name a few of my favorites.))

your kidding!! cartoon gold...
Annoying one dimensional characters (OK, 2-dimensional,LOL!),annoying theme tune,just annoying

Hands-down greatest animated show EVER is Rocko's Modern Life. I base my life around that show.

Wow! I forgot about that one!

Still not better than the simpsons though,dude

pfft, inuyasha sucks.


Inuyasha does NOT suck.
















It blows goats.

Possibly Goatze.

Anime blows most Western cartoons out of the water completely, except for King of the Hill perhaps. As for hierarchies, I don't think you understand anarchism quite right. Liking one thing doesn't constitute the kind of hierarchy anarchists oppose.

hallelujah praise the lord! jesus is landed!

in other words, you're right.

I have respect for anime after seeing Kill Bill V1. That was a nice touch. Then again the whole movie was amazing.

Family Guy
Futurama
Cowboy Bebop
Blue Gender
Simpsons
Wolf's Reign
Samuri Jack
Sealab 2021
Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Liking one thing doesn't constitute the kind of hierarchy anarchists oppose.

No, it doesn't. But I don't think you understand my argument, or perhaps your own position.

You didn't say "I prefer anime to western cartoons." You said (paraphrase) "Anime is better than cartoons." That implies a hierarchy in which anime is somehow intrinsically superior to western animation. Otherwise, how could anime “[blow] most western cartoons out of the water completely”?

Now, I’m not a fan of King of the Hill. I prefer many programs to it. But you’ll notice that I don’t say nor imply that those other programs are in some way “infinitely superior” to King of the Hill - just that I like them better.

This may sound odd, but a lot of the old Gerry Anderson puppettoons (Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray) I enjoyed, but NOT Captain Scarlet! After that the very non-PC George Pal stop-motion animated "Scarecrow" stories, and the Roughneck Chronicles. For Cel animation I prefer the pre-Harmony Gold "Macross," "Mospaedia." and the so-called "Southern Cross" series. I also enjoy, oddly enough, "My Life as a Teenaged Robot(don't ask)."

In no real order

Invader Zim
Cowboy Bebop
FLCL
The Simpsons
Southpark
Family Guy
Futurama

That was anime?

jesus, no one but me is saying sealab! am i the only one who thinks it's funny?

God no! Not Sealab! Go watch Rocko's Modern Life right now! It may not be too late to save yourself.

jesus, no one but me is saying sealab! am i the only one who thinks it's funny?
The whole damn show looks crappy...

I never gave it more than 5 minutes

That was anime?

One scene was. The rest was Uma Thurman kicking ass.

jesus, no one but me is saying sealab! am i the only one who thinks it's funny?

That show is funny as hell! I love it. I take it you are an AS fan?

The whole damn show looks crappy...

I never gave it more than 5 minutes

...

of all time: Beavis and Butt-head

currently: Southpark

of all time: Beavis and Butt-head

currently: Southpark

Yes! Beavis and Butthead amaze me to this day with their profound commentary on human interaction.

Since it hasn't been mentioned:
Animaniacs

Did anyone mention "The Tick"?

I also very much liked "The Maxx" from MTV.

Old school:
Samurai Pizza Cats. Oh man, so awesome. Fond, fond memories.
Ninja Turtles. But then again, who DOESN'T like them? :p
Rocko's Moderm Life. Hell yeah.
X-Men. Am I the only one who TAPED the week long Dark Pheonix cycle? But I lost those tapes...:(
Super Mario Brothers! Common, someone else here had to be a complete video game nerd growing up like me xD

New stuff:
Teen Titans. I can't believe I'm the only one :D
Spongebob. 'Nuff said.
Invader Zim. Helllll yeah.
Angry Beavers. GOD, that show was funny. I can't believe it got cancled :(
Family Guy. I own every DVD and kiss them at night :p. Ok, not really, but I SHOULD.
Simpsons. That show is classic.
Futurama. Me lurves.
South Park...at times. Sometimes it's just not that funny.

Anime:
FLCL. Oh man. I need to own that.
Cowboy Bebob. But then again, everyone loves that show ;)
Sorry, and I know I'll get shot for this, but Big O was very gripping. Unfortunatly, I was never able to see the second season :(
...I need to watch more anime :(

Samurai Pizza Cats was sooo amazing. I used to get up at 6AM to watch that show.

South Park

I forgot Mario Brothers! Yeah, that show was great. No other show was as wonderfully redundant- have live actors playing the characters, and then in the middle of the show, have a cartoon with the same characters! And, of course, it had the Legend of Zelda cartoon shorts, too. So sweet.

South Park- also good. Beavers, too.

I just saw that Family Guy is coming back on Fox this Friday with new episodes! Thank god for greedy executives!

Serial Experiments Lain
Gargoyles
Batman Beyond

I can't believe how many memories htis is bringing back. I remember watching Samurai Pizza Cats! They were so cool! And the Gargoyles! Those were the days. Does anyone remember Gummi Bears?

But the list:
-The Simpsons
-The Tick
-Earthworm Jim
-Spiderman (which ever cartoon was the first. Remakes are always crap)
-Pinky and the Brain
-South Park (only the first few saesons before they got ridiculous)
-X-men
-Futurama
-Astroboy (again this is the original series, not the new crappy series)


That's all I can think of for now...

ever heard of the mysterious cities of gold

great stuff

I only saw a few episodes of this, I don't remember why I stopped watching as I loved it.

My favourite tv shows include South Park, and The Simpsons.

Does anyone remember Ulyesses 31? (possible misspelling). I remember thinking that was great when that was around.

Aqua Team Hunger Force, Family Guy, Sealab 2021, um thats about it, along time ago I used to love sponge bob religiously but then marketing somewhere spiraled out of control and I got so annoyed of seeing it I never even try to watch it anymore. It is actualyl really funny though.

simpsons was hillarious, but after a while it turned absolutely retarded. I never even realized it till I started watching family guy but simpsons is absolutely not funny anymore. The old old shows were good, nothing else though. And it was really sad when they started using celebrities to grab for ratings toward the end.

For comedy, nothing beats Simpsons. They went through a slump around 98-2002 but they seem to be back on form now.

In terms of quality of animation, storytelling, and just overall coolness, Samurai Jack can't be beat. It's got the best of western-style storytelling, combined with fantastic anime-style editing and action. Perfect.

For pure anime, I still love Neon Genesis and, of course, the original Astro Boy (the new series just plain sucks).


Also: Family Guy, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, a bit of Sealab 2021...

ARGH, I can't believe I forgot Samurai Jack!

Yeah, that shows awesome...been awhile since I saw it though :(

Popeye
definitly my favorite animated show.

I cant split the following
Transformers (i dont ever concider this new stuff to be transformers)
Macross ie Robotech
Mysterious cities of gold
Futurama

honourable mentions
simpsons

helsing
neon genisis
voltron

http://www.fox.com/familyguy/

New episodes in 2005.

of all time: Beavis and Butt-head

currently: Southpark
I can't believe I forgot B & B.
Just call me Dumbass.
Am I the only one who loved "Top Cat" though?,when you consider the competition at the time,it stands head & shoulders above the rest.
Apart from maybe "Hong Kong Phooey"

Space Ghost Coast to Coast was a message from the almighty himself. That show was amazing. So was Pinky and the Brain. I think Space Ghost is the only true contender for Rocko's Modern Life.

Didn't one of those mice have a robotic arm?

yes. and a metal faceplate.

Geez, I forgot about Rocko's Modern Life and Pinky and the Brain - thems are some good 'toons :)

Speaking of anime, does anyone else like Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040???

I've never actually seen Bubblegum crisis, but I've wanted to see it for a long time. Is it any good?

Bubblegum Crisis is good anime - not quite as good as Cowboy Bebop, but still very good...better than Neongenesis IMHO...

*slaps forehead*

Dilbert! How could I forget Dilbert...:p
