Watching He-Man today

Shit list, Family guy being ahead of Futurama is the most fucking distinguished mentally-challenged thisng I have ever heard. Seriously wtf?

[DJ_Tet]

The sad thing about Family Guy is that pre-cancellation it was brilliant and deserving of it's spot on this list.  Unfortunately it became really popular around the same time it became really shitty.  I wish it had never come back, it was best as it was, a burning star extinguished by Fox.

[Bebpo]

I can't even name 100 pieces of "good" anime and I've seen many over the years.

Most anime is shit.  You get maybe 2 quality shows a year and a quality movie every 4 years.

Nice to see Beavis and Butthead properly rewarded.

The show was always hit and miss but I'd agree it was much better pre-cancellation. Even the new ones are funny, it's just the hit and miss meter swings heavily towards "....."

[Cheebs]

I really don't watch Family Guy much, not my thing but it is still more watchable than modern day Simpsons. Although I am not sure if that is too big of a compliment.

My count might be a little bit off, but that should be about a hundred. Now, not all of them are all time classics, but they're quality shows from a broad range of genres and most are ones that I would watch again.

[TakingBackSunday]

did you seriously just do that?  wow

I keep a running tally at MyAnimeList.net.

oh okay

No, even The Simpsons at its nadir is better than the 2005+ episodes of Family Guy. If only for the fact that The Simpsons at least still uses actual jokes. FG just uses shitty, obscure 80s references.

[bork]

I like Family Guy, it's a fun show.  If you want more plot, watch American Dad.

It's not the fact that the show lacks plot. It's the fact that it lacks actual humor or wit of any sort.

This guy does a better job of explaining why FG is a shit show.

Wow, reading the comments on that blog are hysterical.  That blog is 100 percent correct, and those people are trying to defend that show.  smh

I could name a hundred without too much trouble. Should I? Okay, I will, but don't expect me to put it into any kind of order.

Holy shit you watch a lot of anime, and I will now use your list to 'discover' new anime, because I have dropped the ball when it comes to watching. But seriously, that shit is ridiculous.

Haha, yeah I watch a lot of anime. That list doesn't even cover half of the movies, OVAs, and series that I've seen in full.

With Obama president and this anti-torture/closing gitmo...etc stuff happening American Dad suddenely has a lot of new story potential.

How do you have a list of a 100 anime and not have Rurouni Kenshin in there somewhere?

I've only seen eight episodes of it and the list I made was of stuff that I've actually finished. Plus, I'm not really big on long-running series.

However, I've got Trust and Betrayal at the top of my Netflix queue, because I hear that's really good.

It is the best anime of all time. The fact you haven't seen it made me smh. But you're never ever truly late for greatness.

Kenshin tv is mostly awful. Only the manga and first ova exist.

Everyone should watch Legend of Galactic Heroes, one of the finest animu ever.

It's the epicest of the epic space opera. It even has opera music in it!

LOGH owns. Didn't know there was a LOGH fanbase here except me and Distantmantra.

[Bloodwake]

The top 10 is almost acceptable.  The Simpsons should get docked a few points though, since there are now more bad episodes than there are good.

Truth. I was expecting Family Guy to be in the top ten regardless, but above Futurama? The Simpsons definitely has no right to be number one as well. I would still probably put Looney Tunes/ Merrie Melodies at the top, followed by Batman: TAS at number two. Third would be South Park, and then number four would be the Simpsons.
