[Xadyu]

Do iit. It's amazing and it's only 10 episodes, so it isn't a huge time consumer either

--- Double Post Merged, May 28, 2018, Original Post Date: May 28, 2018 ---

Not like I was very consistent either. Leaving out Ducktales because it is not a full season, but including some arguable choices, like Korra.

There's nothing arguable about Korra. Definitely top 10 material, one of the best out there.

 

[Riku]

I'm actually a little surprised Steven didn't place higher considering how recent hit it is. Though on the other hand, cartoons are a topic where nostalgia is a strong factor and most forum user are of the age to mostly likely to check into more adult oriented series when they get into something new.

I expect Simpsons and Futurama to place high (blackhorse; King of the Hill?). Of the newer stuff, Rick & Morty and Bojack are strong candidates for top spots.

I have a couple of surprise picks still left. I expect meet them in the 11th to 5th though.

 

[z.5]

The only reason why Stephen Universe wasn't on my list is solely due to how little of it I've seen...
It's certainly on my 'to watch' list

 

[Xadyu]

And I left SU off because I wanted an older pick, in this case Batman Beyond.

1997-present
Creators: Trey Parker and Matt Stone
Genre: Animated sitcom
Seasons: 21 Episodes: 287 and counting

Futurama

1999-2013
Creator: Matt Groening
Genre: Animated sitcom, Sci-fi
Seasons: 7 Episodes: 140


Here are insights from our very own Count von Count about the 2nd and 3rd placer on his 'list of knowledge.'

2nd - Futurama - Far superior to the Simpsons, lots of geeky references, much science

3rd - South Park - again, a smart series. Willing to push the boat out and then sink it. Doesn't give a shit who is offended.

Next in The Countdown: The Top 9​

 

[Organizized]

Really hoped Steven would get in the top 10.. good to see it got so much love. I feel I’m almost able to predict the remaining ones now. Four of mine are left (#1-3 and #9).

Definitely thought that would be higher.

Definitely thought that would be higher.

Blame Elu giving it a 1.

And everyone else for not including it

 

[Elusia]

More shows o/

Steven Universe - I'm quite iffy about putting this show very high up when I rewatched it few weeks ago. There were flaws that bugged me, such as too much SOL episodes, plot points that should have discussed way earlier than it should, and the recent reveal that pretty much split the fandom in half, but as a whole, it's an excellent show with awesome character developments.

South Park - a lot of adult cartoons (or probably most of them) tend to be comedy. While some are just insufferable and terrible, this show is one of the few that is clever with its jokes and does not shy away from being offensive, but the good kind that you shrug it off as humorous

Futurama - You guys talk about your nostalgia on certain shows, and for me, I have nostalgic feelings on this one, as well as others on my list. Yes, me and my brother watched a lot of adult cartoons when we were little because my parents thought that cartoons are for kids

Futurama was awesome, filled with great plot and characters and the sci-fi element adds to unique events that happened.

 

[Xadyu]

South Park would've definitely got in my list if it stopped about 6-8 seasons ago.

 

[Elusia]

And now to Adventure Time:

Adventure Time - Okay, people already asking why I put AT as low as I can. Well, if I'm being honest, I was not hooked by this show at first. Cartoon Network at that time lacked good shows, so when this aired, I thought it would be another forgettable show that later might end up as a classic like Chowder.

And yea, S1 was decent but not enough to gain my attention. I'd rather watch Gumball or Regular show

But, it took me 2 or 3 seasons later that I finally appreciate and enjoy this show (and so did my friends, I heard) and today, it turned from a simple adventure into a phenomenal one and I love every bit of it. I'll probably rewatch it when the show ends (), so while it took me years before I fully love it, it's definitely worth it.

 

[z.5]

South Park would've definitely got in my list if it stopped about 6-8 seasons ago.

Aye, I kinda agree with your sentiments - there was a huge period of time where it was very much hit and miss

The most recent ones I have seen, however, have been pretty good

Am very happy that Adventure time is on the list.
Although I'm thankful that it isn't a top 20 game, it'd definitely be on my list, if it were.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
@Lomahongva (10) | @Crescent Jinx (8) | @Farfalla (8)

1996-1997
Creators: Peter Lawrence and Takashi Masunaga (Based on Jonny Quest by Doug Wildey)
Genre: Adventure, Drama, Sci-fi
Seasons: 2 Episodes: 52


But wait....

3. The New Adventures of Johnny Quest (the one in the 90s)

There's a contradiction in your PM.

The New Adventures's of Jonny Quest's original release was on: September 14, 1986 – March 1, 1987 so technically not in the 90s.

On the other hand, I assumed what you're actually referring to is The Real Adventure's of Jonny Quest that was release on: August 26, 1996 – April 16, 1997 aka "the one in the 90s"

Sorry for bringing this up late!
Correct me if I'm wrong and I'll edit the list (Fuck! )

The House M.D./Dr. House phenomena strikes again?! Hopefully not...

 

[Riku]

Thats a surprise. I have a mild childhood trauma by some of the later episodes. I found some creatures super creepy.

I had a Hadji action toy. It had a crazy good miniature bow with it. I could actually shoot straight accurately with it for half a meter or something. Very nice when playing.

 

[Organizized]

One of those shows I’ve heard of a lot but never seen a single second of, as far as I know.. totally flew under my radar, both growing up and when trying to predict the top ten.

I think I’ve got the final seven down now. If I’m right that means neither King of the Hill nor The Venture Bros. got a single point, which is slightly surprising for a list like this. But if one of those two are indeed in the top 7, I’d be even more surprised that one of the ones they knocked off got diddly-squat instead. Guess we’ll see.

 

[Riku]

I know there is atleast one tied spot. Because I have 7 shows left, there is top 7 left, and I didn't vote for Simpsons.

 

[Farfalla]

She prolly meant The Real Adventures, yeah. I also almost wrote The New Adventures (cause we had a translation issue here), and had to google and fix the title. The year reference should be better than the name itself when they look so alike as well.

Tbh I don't recall much about the show. I just recall loving it a lot, along with the Batman one I listed, and always making a lot of effort to be home in time to watch them. Used to have problems with my mom cause I wanted to watch those daily but they were aired at the time catholics pray the rosary :P

I think I only have one left xD Another classic you guys haven't mentioned yet.
