BTW, SatAM is not in the top 100. Sad, but true. Man it sucks!!! Oh well. Check it out yourself.

I have a feeling the opinions on this poll will be a little bit biased.

Honestly, WHY is the Simpsons #1? As much as I love the Simpsons, there's plenty of other cartoons that rank above it. The fact that South Park/Family Guy/Futurama rank so high on the list is kind of appalling considering I expect classier cartoons to be at the top.

Animaniacs, while high on the list, should have been in the top ten along with Pinky and the Brain. The writing for both of these shows was excellent, mixing cartoonish slapstick with adult humor that didn't resort to the filthy antics of previously mentioned cartoons. It was something EVERYONE could enjoy, not just teens and adults.

Well I like South Park... But Family Guy? Really...?

I have a feeling the opinions on this poll will be a little bit biased.

Particularly when it comes to Art, there's no such thing as an unbiased opinion.

What the hell??? A list without reference list... I don't have the connection speed, or the intersest to spend a few days checking out their screwy setup...

I don't trust these kind of lists, anyway... They're usually skewed in favor of a specific group's opinions and those groups usually don't include me or people with similar tastes to mine. The fact that they even have Jose & The Pussycats on there shows that these people don't have very good taste in TV shows... After all, the real hallmark of a good show is one that you can watch 20 years later and still be into it, not something that makes you wonder who out there could possibly like it...

considering this is a SatAM fansite, of course opinions are gonna be biased.

There's an interesting question, can we call SatAM a work of Art? More importantly, why can't you have a biased opinion about art? Music is an art form, yet people have biased opinions against genres all the time. Judging from the list, there are probably biased opinions for the shows on that list.

Why wasn't "angry beavers" on that list?

[MistressAli]

Of course SatAM should be on there ;P And of course the list is biased..
Some of my top faves made it to the list (Talespin, Darkwing Duck, Venture Bros) but at pretty high spots. I mean, I know shows like Underdog and The Jetsons and Scooby Doo are classics but there's no way (IMO) that the actual quality and creativity of those shows beats out stuff like Talespin
Also Reboot wasn't on the list... that was a good one. Parodies of stuff every show, and seXy computer viruses like Hexadecimal. That should've been on there too. But whatever, I still like my show regardless of an internet list

You can't rope Futurama along side the crap that is South Park and Family Guy. It actually IS the classy funny kind of funny; not the toilet humour kind of funny.

Well, you can if you want, I suppose. That means we can legally slap you, however.

[furrykef]

I don't give a crap whether a show is "classy" funny or "toilet" funny. I just care about if it's funny.

I used to find Family Guy very funny, but for some reason it doesn't do it so much now. Guess it's gotten old for me. There is occasional highbrow humor in there, though, although it usually has a lowbrow spin on it.

As for South Park... well, it was a lot funnier back when I wasn't supposed to watch it. Now it's very hit-and-miss for me.

Futurama is hands-down brilliant, though. It does have its "off" moments, but there's no show that doesn't.

Definately in the top 20. I have to be honest. There are cartoons I remember more but that don't feel as good as this little gem.

[Chaosmaster8753]

I'd at least want Spongebob on there.

[FreakyFilmFan4ever]

I'm gonna say "No". *dodges all sorts of objects thrown at him*

I absolutely LOVE SatAM Sonic. I think it's a show that is better written than most other SatAM shows, but I don't want it in a list where The Simpsons raks #1.

The IGN list obviously isn't ranking the shows by quality, or The Simpsons wouldn't be at the top. Rather, this list seems to be ranking the shows by popularity amongst both American animated fans and Japanimation (a.k.a. anime) fans.

Now if it were ranking the shows by quality, SatAM Sonic would easily be among the top 50.

[MaRaMa-TSG]

The mayority of people voting there don't care about the art, the writing or the concepts. So it's gonna reflect on the list.

And I agree with FreakyFilmfan even though I voted 'yes'. Mostly because i did not look at the list and won't either. But Sat-AM DOES deserve to be in a top 100 animated tv shows list. A decent one anyway.

And I can be biased because I adore the show, but I can also nitpick it. Still, it was high quality cartoon.

Anyway, it will always depend of the humor, the more rude or obscene it is the better. If it makes fun of people and such or it's just plain dirty. Just see what the only reason Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog is well known now. All thanks to the PINGAS!

[Lord Exor]

I'm not surprised that Batman: The Animated Series is up there. It deserves #1 in my opinion.

[justinhx7]

I love to watch my favorite animated series online in my free time. Futurama and Family Guy are my favorite animated series.

The fact that South Park/Family Guy/Futurama rank so high on the list is kind of appalling considering I expect classier cartoons to be at the top.

Huh? Futurama is perfectly classy. (Some of the episodes in the latest season excepted...)

How many other shows are there where they regularly make jokes about quantum physics?

EDIT: Wow, holy shit this thread's old. I've even responded in it before!
