5. Clerks: The Animated Series

4. Futurama

3. The Critic

2. Family Guy

1. The Simpsons ( From 1992 to around 1997 about 98% of the episodes ranged from good to genius. Although the last 3 or 4 seasons have been sort of stupid, it's lasted longer than all of my other top 5 combined)

The Simpsons

G.I. Joe

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Batman The Animated Series

Classic Looney Tunes

 

I liked Clerks and all, but they hardly had any episodes. Not enough to crack a top 5 (or 10)

Tom & Jerry

Ducktales

old school cartoons on USA back when they had the cartoon train on Saturday mornings (please don't tell me I'm the only one who remembers that)

Finally some respect for Duckman.

Why there are so few of us who enjoy the zany antics of a perverted, loudmouth duck voiced by George Costanza will forever remain a mystery to me.

In order of importance:

 

5. Transformers (Generation One): One of my favorite shows of all time, animated or not. It's ranked fifth simply because a good 80% of all Transformers series that followed were either shitty or mediocre (with perhaps Beast Wars and Beast Machines being the only decent followups). It tarnishes the legacy.

 

4. G.I. Joe - I loved this show dearly. Great voice acting, especially by the late great Chris Latta (who also did wonderfully as Starscream in TF). And I still collect the toys. They're action figures, not dolls, damnit!!!

 

3. The Real Ghostbusters - incredibly fun show that mixed a healthy dose of humor with horror. Superb writing, by men such as Joe Michael Straczynski and animation veteran Michael Reeves. Perfect voice acting by Maurice LaMarche, Frank Welker, Lorenzo Music, and hell, even Arsenio Hall. Wicked good show.

 

2. Gargoyles - If you haven't seen this show done by Disney in the early / mid 90s, get tapes of it now. Unbelievable work. A show with a surprising level of maturity, appealing to a much wider audience than children, with good drama and action and some humor thrown in. Hell, the show interwove SHAKESPEARE into the story, and made it WORK.

 

1. Batman: The Animated Series - this is, of course, the original Batman:TAS, before it left for the WB and decreased rapidly in quality. This represents, IMO, perfection in the artform of animated program. It created a style all by its own, and gave us episodes of amazing drama and beauty. Episodes like "It's Never Too Late" and "Perchance to Dream" still blow me away. And there's incredible voice acting, from a diverse group of performers such as David Warner, John Glover, Paul Williams, Melissa Gilbert, and of course - Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, who perhaps have given us the finest performances of Batman & the Joker ever committed to the small (or big?) screen. Sheer perfection.

^ that... Is my answer.

 

And I say Mark Hamill was great as Joker. Probably would be the best Joker ever.

#1: Batman: The Animated Series

Mark Hamill is the absolute perfect voice for Joker, it just fits so perfectly. He's able to make me loathe him and love him at the same time, who knew eh?

 

#2: The Simpsons

If only for the Treehouse of Horror series episodes

 

#3: House of Mouse

Cool to see all the Disney characters, wish they would show older cartoon shorts.

 

#4: Old School Nick

Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, etc. WHY did they suddenly ruin what used to be a highlight damnit? I grew up on early 90's Nick and wish they would bring more of those types of shows back.

 

#5: Looney Tunes

Shouldn't need a reason
