50 Greatest Cartoon Characters Analysis

TV Guide did the same thing with their Top 50 Characters list. Homer was listed in one spot, and Bart & Lisa Simpson were listed in another number. If you ask me, that only leads to confusion. Homer is one of the Simpsons. why not just list them all collectively as The Simpsons? TV Guide also listed Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale in a separate place than Rocky & Bullwinkle. I don't really see the point of having different characters from the same shows listed separately.
 
Pioneer claymation character Gumby should be on this list. Without him, there'd be no Wallace & Gromit (who are better, IMO, but too recent to qualify as Classic.)
 
Not bad man. I would have put Mickey over Bugs, and put the Rugrats on there (they were pretty much the animated crown jewel of Nickelodeon before SpongeBob debuted in 99), but still well put together.
 
I wouldn't put Rugrats on my Top 50 at all. IMHO, Rugrats was a very overrated series. I personally never "got" that show, nor did I understand what was so great about it, I never found those babies all that funny. Plus I hated Angelica with a passion. All personal opinions aside, I think that Rugrats is too recent a show to be placed on the same list with Looney Tunes and The Flintstones.

TV Guide put the Powerpuff Girls on their Top 50, but a part of me is cynical enough to believe that the main (if not only) reason that they did was becasue the PPG movie was coming out that same month. If the Powerpuffs were going to be on the list, then Dexter from Dexter's Lab should have been on there as well. After all, Dexter's lab was the 1st Cartoon-Cartoon, not to mention the premiere World Premiere Toon. There would have been no Cartoon-Cartoons had Dexter's been a failure.
