- CreatorAl JeanGeorge MeyerMike ReissStarsScott McNeilMeghan BlackChristopher JudgeThis rendition of X-Men features Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Spike as teenagers as they fight for a world that fears and hates them.I grew up with Evolution, and seasons 3 and 4 put the entire original series to shame. It is so good and nostalgic for me, it constantly battles Wolverine and the X-Men for 1st place in my favorite X-Men animated series.
- CreatorGreg WeismanStarsKeith DavidSalli Richardson-WhitfieldJeff BennettA clan of heroic night creatures pledge to protect modern New York City as they did in Scotland one thousand years earlier.The characters are the strongest animated characters I've ever seen (and by that I mean the most realistic) and the storylines are so complex with inspiration taken from Shakespeare, this is not a show for the uneducated. The fact that blood and lethal combat (real bullets and hand to hand) are not afraid to be shown shows just how great this series is.
- StarsSteve BlumJim WardNolan NorthAfter an explosion at the school, the X-Men went their separate ways. But they must unite once again under the leadership of Wolverine to prevent an inevitable war while also dealing with present problems.The majority of the characters are well fleshed out and well developed, while the 26-episode strory arc is so complex, it deserves praise for being effectively executed.
- CreatorSeth MacFarlaneDavid ZuckermanStarsAlex BorsteinSeth MacFarlaneSeth GreenIn a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strives to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another.Family Guy is quite simply the most hilarious animated series ever made, simple as that.
- CreatorDave JeserMatt SilversteinJordan YoungStarsAdam CarollaJess HarnellAbbey McBrideA parody of reality shows cast with spoofs of several famous types of animated characters.If people think Family Guy is offensive, they have seen nothing. Depraved and hilarious, Drawn Together makes sure nothing is off limits, which is why it is such as unpredictable show.
- CreatorMike BarkerSeth MacFarlaneMatt WeitzmanStarsSeth MacFarlaneWendy SchaalScott GrimesThe escapades of Stan Smith, a conservative C.I.A. Agent dealing with family life, and keeping America safe.I like to think of American Dad as the intelligent Family Guy, and unlike The Cleveland Show, managed to find it's own brand of humor early on. Cleveland is still struggling.
- CreatorGôshô AoyamaStarsMinami TakayamaWakana YamazakiHoang KhuyetThe cases of a detective whose physical age was chemically reversed to that of a prepubescent boy but must hide his true mental development.The excellent storytelling, dark and gritty subject matter and addicting format helped this show get me into anime. It is still, the only anime I watch and enjoy, however.
- CreatorMark Edward EdensSidney IwanterEric LewaldStarsCedric SmithCal DoddLenore ZannA team of mutant superheroes fight for justice and human acceptance in the Marvel Comics universe.The series excelled in storytelling but unfortunately failed in over-the-top voice acting and animation.
- CreatorChuck AustenChris MoellerStarsStephen RootMaurice LaMarcheJohn MelendezTripping the Rift is a CGI science fiction comedy television series. The universe is modeled largely after the Star Trek universe, with references to "warp drive" and "transporter beam" technology, occasional time travel, the Federation and the Vulcans. The series also includes elements borrowed from other sources such as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Battlestar Galactica. The general setting is that known space is politically divided between two superpowers: the Confederation (led by Humans, and a parody of the Federation from Star Trek) and the Dark Clown Empire (a parody of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars). The Dark Clown Empire is a totalitarian, tyrannical police state, led by the evil Darph Bobo. In contrast, the Confederation is technically a democratic and free society, but in practice, is dominated by mega-corporations and bloated bureaucracies. Ultimately, both superpowers end up exploiting and restricting their inhabitants, albeit in different ways. For example, the value placed on life is so commercialized in the Confederation that clearly sentient robots and androids are reduced to essentially slave-status. The Dark Clown Empire practices actual slavery, and while the Confederation does not, most of its inhabitants (including the Human ones) are openly described as living in wage slavery. The only place that anyone can truly be free is in the border region between the two superpowers, which is directly controlled by neither. This borderland is known as "the Rift", hence those outlaws on the fringes of society who cling to their freedom by moving back and forth around the Confederation/Dark Clown Empire border to evade detection are said to be "Tripping the Rift." The series follows one such group of outlaws led by Chode aboard the Spaceship Bob, taking odd-jobs and usually pursuing various get-rich-quick schemes.Hilarious and in space. Need I say more?
- CreatorDavid X. CohenMatt GroeningStarsBilly WestJohn DiMaggioKatey SagalPhilip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy, is accidentally frozen in 1999 and thawed out on New Year's Eve 2999.Only the Treehouse of Horror Simpsons episodes ever peaked my interest, but Futurama has me glued for the entire run.
- CreatorTrey ParkerMatt StoneBrian GradenStarsTrey ParkerMatt StoneIsaac HayesFollows the misadventures of four irreverent grade-schoolers in the quiet, dysfunctional town of South Park, Colorado.Hilarious up until about season 13. Still, the older episodes are so funny, and the characters are so hilarious, you won't mind.
