My top twenty list would include:
1. Looney Tunes: The characters are very well developed, the jokes are hilarious, and the plots are climatic.
2. House of Mouse: This is not actually one I would list on the top of the list, but the major reason why I love this film so much is because it is an animated crossover. However, I do prefer the specials, Mickey's House of Villains and Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, much more.
3. Tiny Toon Adventures: Even though, this is a young version of Looney Tunes, it is its own show. It spoofs media using its own material, I do not know how else to explain it.
4. Spongebob Squarepants: Do I even need to say it? This show has it all: good characters, hilarious laughs, and interesting plot-lines.
5. Family Guy: While the newer episodes are weaker in comparison, this show started out as a charismatic godsend. It may copy jokes from the Simpsons, but quite frankly I do not care, because I never liked the Simpsons anyway.
6. American Dad: An answer to "Family Guy", but a show on its own, also with likable characters and hilarious gags.
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original series): This is most likely one of the biggest cartoon franchises of all-time. It has everything an audience would want, good characters, good plot-lines, good humor, and overall, just good fun. This show will always has its place in animated history, and will always be better in my eyes than the modern version.
8. The Real Ghost Busters: The show that took the movie it is based on in another direction, providing the characters with more charismatic stories, and watching them battle the strangest of apparitions.
9. The California Raisins: I know this show does not have that many episodes, but it is a gem to me. I love the characters, the music, and the plots of the episodes. It is quite a shame it never met the light of day for being released on DVD.
10. Garfield and Friends: For a cartoon to be based on a comic strip, this cartoon never failed. It always made its characters enjoyable and its plots and humor just as.
11. Gumby: This show is a classic, enough said.
12. Super Mario Bros / the Legend of Zelda: Great video games, great cartoons, I cannot get any more simple than that.
13. Ed, Edd, and Eddy: While this show is a favorite of mine, I would not consider it to be one of the best animated shows of all-time, but it most certainly has its place. Ed, Edd, and Eddy always provide us with laughs, and they are always put in hilarious situations. The cat version of Ed, Edd and Eddy, CatScratch, is just as good, and also deserves a place in the list, but since this is basically a cat version of Ed, Edd and Eddy, I will put in the same place.
14. The Powerpuff Girls: I like the villains, what can I say?
15. The Penguins of Madagascar: To be a spin-off of a movie I do not even like, I can say without a doubt and without any hesitation, that this show has enough willpower to never let me down. Animals also have always fascinated me, and I have always enjoyed zoos, so those are bonuses.
16. Hey Arnold: I always liked it, what more can I say? It is about kids, true, but it is a very benevolent show, to lack a better term. Perhaps, why I vote this show as one of the best animated shows of all-time, might be because children and adults can both value it. It is fine (not coarse), intelligent, and never dull.
17. The Mr. Men Show: I am talking about the modern show, not the 80s one. This show is aimed towards children, but this show appeals to adults, too, that is why I enjoy about it. Even though, it has adult slick, it does not make its slick too dark, so children cannot enjoy it.
18. The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show: I cannot remember much of this lovable canine show, unfortunately, but it deserves a place in animated sitcom history along with its feline companion, Garfield and Friends, being based on of the best comic strips of all-time, my opinion, but an unanimous one at that.
19. Beetle Juice: More interesting than the movie, but every bit just as good. It is a shame the series are not on DVD, but at least three episodes from the series made their way on the special edition of the Beetle Juice live action film.
What should be the twentieth cartoon sitcom of all-time? I have given it much thought, and after much determination, and so many difficult choices. I have decided it shall be .... (drum rolls please)
the Addams Family (the 1992 animated series)
I am not holding anything against the earlier animated Addams Family series, but that is not the one I grew up with, I grew up with the 1992 animated series, and I enjoy it so much, because the characters are good as always, and the plots are always interesting, enough said.
Well, that is my list, so ... there you go. By the way, "narf" means "gah!", a simple ugh, I think, but do not hold me to that. I shall not be held by that.
