We're working on comic book characters so why not throw this list out there as well. I'll start with;
1.) Thundarr The Barbarian
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAobPugvsk
This cartoon reeks of B-Movie plots/characters which made it beyond cool.
2) Birdman (1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTvaF-8JUbs
When Hanna Barbera cartoons had half-arsed plots, dialogue and animation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI0FbYe3lRE
Sure, it could be argued it was just a marketing ploy for toys. Sure, it was. But it was a fun show that ran for like, 10 years and was massively popular. I have several of the dvd's. Good show.
27.) Aqua Teen Hunger Force
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E42QFSMMNOI
This show has never failed to crack me up in every episode.
28.) Captain Planet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpXM9bj-WPU

44) Pole Position :thumbup:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zj55mHD2Pes
It's a shame that kids shows don't have great intro's and theme songs anymore. They all use CGI now, or basic designs. So much soul and effort in 80s cartoons.

74) Battle Of The Planets
Good one. I'd been avoiding anime as something not quite the same as "cartoons." But Battle of the Planets was reworked for a young western audience, and had a successful run as a cartoon before anime really took off in the west. In that light, it belongs. I would also like to make another addition that fit nicely into our cartoon viewing before most of us knew what anime was......

Jase, I'm glad you nominated "The Simpsons". I've been watching this thread, not participating, just waiting to see how long it would take someone to mention it. I guess the fact that people forgot about it reflects how far the quality has sunk in the last few years. Seasons 2-4 were by far the funniest, most subversive, and most clever program on TV at the time, and made all of the "adult" cartoons that followed marketable.

I was gonna nominate it, but honestly thought somebody did already. In all honesty, the show still has good moments/episodes. Nowhere near the quality it was during seasons 1-8, but better than other shows out there, like American Dad and Family Guy. I like Family Guy, but wow.
I figured South Park would've made the list too. The quality of shows they CONTINUALLY put out is great.
I think everyone got caught up on one big nostalgia trip :teddyr:
Metalocalypse!
The Venture Brothers!
Phantom 2040 was a great cartoon.

I know I missed the top 100 but thought I would add Felix the Cat.
I remember as a young kid watching Felix the Cat (the later version). If I remember correctly he had a nemesis called the "Master Cylinder" too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amGbBFsiuzc&feature=related
When I was in my 20's I went to a surrealism in animation festival and they showed a very bazaar one from the 1920's, I could not find that one on Youtube but I though this one was cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDjZU9K-UC0
I seem to remember an episode of "Felix The Cat" from the 1990's that had extensive clips from "Gorgo" and a spaghetti western edited into the main storyline.
I don't see why these things should be limited to an 100 but hey, that's just me.
