I didn´t read the article, but for me it´s:

1. The Simpsons ( Seasons 1-10 )
2. South Park
3. Futurama

Futurama deserves to be in the top 3, at least!

EDIT: The Flinstones are on third place...That´s ok, Flinstones are great.

[Pazuzu]

Well for me Futurama is #1 :D :lol:

[Gumburcules]

Number three is The Flintstones. I could see strong arguments made for South Park and The Simpsons, but Flintstones better than Futurama? never.

I personally rank Futurama as not only the best animated show ever, I rank it as some of the best televison in any medium.

[Cloverfield]

Flinstones is crap compared to The Simpsons or Futurama.

[Anonymous]

The Flint-what?

[Cloverfield]

Please tell me you have heard of the flinstones?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but They're above Futurama? jeez! :evil:

[Cloverfield]

Coz it's a classic.

[Anonymous]

Futuramas better

[Cloverfield]

WAY better.

[Anonymous]

Futurama is Ex-cell-ent

[Cloverfield]

Yes it is.

[Anonymous]

:D :lol:

[SaveMeJeebus]

Simpsons
Futurama
South Park
Family Guy

:D

[Cloverfield]

Yeah, that looks pretty good.

[SaveMeJeebus]

What the list?

[sheepy]

What I don't get is how some of these "cartoons" are continually referred to as "childrens".
There's very little in Futurama to appeal to kids - and there's even less (If anything) in Simpsons.
Simpsons in particular is satire and the jokes are not slapstick - so why the hell is it referred to as kids?

Doh, because Bart is a kid :roll: Homer is the star of Simpsons anyway 8)

[Cloverfield]

I agree. Most of the DVD's are 12 which gives a hint.

[SaveMeJeebus]

Yeah.

Gotta go now btw.

[Cloverfield]

Laters jeebs.

[Bender Is Great]

Simpsons
Futurama
South Park
Family Guy

:D

I second that list!

[Ace]

Im not surprised: At all.

[Yoshirama]

i wounde rhow futurama ranks now.

[SuicideBooth]

For me, it's:
1. Futurama
2. The Simpsons (older episodes)
3. South Park

[RebelWolfChris]

Futurama is number one for me anyday. Simpsons is good but the broader scope of Futurama wins it for me. As for South park the less said about that the better.

I love older classic animations like the original X-Men series or the animals of Farthing Wood.

[Yoshirama]

Yeah futurama is number 1 for most peopel here. I never really got into family guy and south park.

[Daddy Warbucks]

1. Futurama
2. South Park (Even after 14 years it is still funny)
3. Simpsons

There is not a single letter in this post that I do not agree with 100%!!! It's actually scary how this is exactly how I feel on this subject, lol.

I still occassionally whistle the Animals of Farthing Wood tune whenever it's quiet, e.g. at work, in the dead of night, when I'm out for a peaceful walk in the country, at church, during funerals, etc...(OK, maybe not the last two...)

[RebelWolfChris]

*slings an arm round Sawbuck's neck* You and me are buds now.

Yeah you might get weird looks for the last two :P

Do you like Firefly, Alias and Dark Angel too by any chance? *curious*

10) Smurfs- The childhood cartoon that was filled with miniture blue uhh... smurfs. Everyone has seen this bizzare yet uplifting show

9) Sponge Bob Square Pants- A small yellow piece of foam that recently exploded in popularity. His face is appearing on everything from boxers to bowling balls. Bob, a character that lives in the sea, experiences crazy adventures with his underwater pals. Even older audiences will find the bizarre humor funny; it seems as if either a genius or mental patient created this cartoon.

8) Batman- We all remember from our younger days the caped crusader who kept Gotham City safe. With an arsenal of cool gadgets, the best being the Batmobile, he kicked bad guy butt. The Batcave is also the coolest hideout in superhero history. This cartoon also spun off into a series of major motion pictures.

7) Scooby Doo- Yet another memorable cartoon from our childhood days. Whocould forget Scooby and Shaggy's antics as they searched for the same evil villain in the same haunted house week after week, only to have Fred unmask the monster at the end of each episode? Their comic capers will go down in history as a model of how to create a great cartoon.

6) Popeye- This little spinach eating man with his stick thin girlfriend Olive Oil is a classic. The old black and white versions have been around since 1929. One of the most unlikely heroes, Popeye has found himself in many a jam, only to pop open a can of spinach and prevail time and time again.

5) Loony Toons- Everything from Bugs Bunny to Wyle E. Coyote falls in this category. Warner Brothers hit the jackpot when they created this slew of characters, which have entertained America for years, as well as being marketed all over the world.

4) Flintstones- As first cartoon to ever be in primetime, the Flintstones set a precedent for a new generation of cartoons. It would not only entertain children, but adults as well, with a new style of comedy. Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty, and Dino continue to entertain generation after generation.

3)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- One of the most popular cartoons of the 90's. These pizza loving genetically altered turtles battled the evil Shredder with martial arts taught to them by their leader Splinter, a giant rat. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, the turtles, became an icon producing an action figure line that continues to this day, and three major motion pictures.

2) South Park- The foul mouth foursome known as Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Stan has, for better or worse, undoubtedly changed cartoon history. Where else can you watch a towel get high, or Kenny die a hundred different ways? It has been the most controversial cartoon ever, with its nothing's sacred attitude. It launched a movie that was, of course, rated R. Few can't admit this cartoon is hilarious.

1) Simpsons- Who else could crown such a list? This dysfunctional family has entertained America for over a decade and shows no signs of stopping. Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie along with the town of Springfield revolutionized the way cartoons are viewed. With humor geared more toward adults than children the show stormed primetime fox becoming one of the most popular shows ever. The show is everywhere from action figures to classes on college campuses. It is hands down the number one cartoon ever.

I have never watched any of those shows, so can't comment either way, I'm afraid. At least I can't say that I specifically dislike them, lol.

[I Hate Bottles]

Futurama should be #1, but at least it made the top 5. Even Family Guy didn't do that!

[Yoshirama]

Yeah, every list is different, i got that from some website. forgot which one.

[SuicideBooth]

It's a shame Futurama has always had to be the underdog of sitcoms, while SP, FG and Simpsons have enjoyed most of the limelight.

[DannyB]

Omg the flinstones better than futurama??? seriously...

Out of all of the cartoons Futurama is the best and most original... The Simpsons sucks now imo so I would say:

1: Futurama
2: American Dad
3: South Park

[Daddy Warbucks]

Futurama is my #1 with Rugrats, TMNT, T&J and Courage REALLY close behind.

[Gazereths]

It's a shame Futurama has always had to be the underdog of sitcoms, while SP, FG and Simpsons have enjoyed most of the limelight.


It's because those programmes appeal to the mass market.

[Daddy Warbucks]

What Gaz said most people won't get the humor in Futurama.

[22_22]

Futurama should be #1 :D
