IGN - 96. Star Trek: The Animated Series (http://tv.ign.com/top-100-animated-tv-series/96.html)


I think this is their worst one yet.

It doesn't even make any sense to me. Usually lists are fairly consistent in their bias, which I can understand. This seems to just be all over the map.

Not that I don't think Johnny Bravo was 20 spots better than Fullmetal Alchemist.

The fact Bebop wasn't at least in the top 3 is a travesty.

ANd I think I've been pissed off by something Bebop related on every one of these lists.

As soon as I saw Star Trek: Animated Series I stopped reading.

EDIT: Okay, I brought myself to read more of the list. I will say that I am pleased at where they placed Animaniacs. Not surprised that The Simpsons have #1, but I can't remember enjoying The Simpsons since like season whatever the hell the season was in 2001. I agree that Cowboy Bebop should be higher.

well, you should really start from the top and go down... I know when I saw the thread title, my first thought was 'wait, there have been 100 good cartoons?'

It seems very americacentric xD

The last great Simpsons season was around the 10-12 mark for me. It was all quality before that though, so it gets a very deserving #1 place. I'd also have liked to see Bebop up higher. It's better than Evangelion in my books.

I don't understand how the whole DB trilogy is below Pokemon, Huckleberry Hound, and especially *pukes* Naruto.

Seeing as most of those shows I haven't watched I cant say whether it is a good list or not. I would have liked to have seen Ren and Stimpy a little higher but I guess the show isn't for everyone.

Simpsons deserves the number 1 spot just for seasons 3-5 alone.

That list is almost completely rubbish. The Simpsons, however, is undoubtedly, the greatest animated series ever created by anyone in the universe.

Not a bad top 20 (Family Guy apart).

No Bucky O'Hare? Batman TAS in 2nd?

I'm sorry, I love the older Simpson's episodes, but I think if you're going to name a cartoon the number one of all time you should be looking at it over it's full run. Had they stopped making it ten years ago, or maybe a little longer, I'd probably agree that it was the best ever. But when a full 50% of it's run has sucked I'd give top spot to something like Batman that was truly amazing from start to finish, and which I easily liked as much as the Simpson's.

That's a ridiculous way to judge it, why should The Simpsons suffer because it's had over 400 episodes in comparison to Batman's 80-odd. They're judging these shows when they were at their peak, and The Simpsons at its peak was brilliant.

Could they have made this list any more inconvenient? Everything on its own seperate page? I want a LIST, not a 100 page website!

agree

Also I just noticed that put crap on the list like Invader Zim and The Critique, but no Samurai Champloo, Proud Family, or Static Shock?

Come on!

List looked fine for me. The reasons they gave for ones I didn't know or didn't agree with were good enough for me.

I think that's part of the reason why it got the number one spot in actuality. Even when they make crap seasons, people still watch which has allowed the series to continue for all these years.

To be fair to The Simpsons, even with the dramatic dip in quality it might still be the best animated show on TV which speaks volumes about the quality of animated shows lately.
