me is Steve Megatron. yo yo yo and optimist solo

00:01:04.680 –> 00:01:08.439
if you would have told me 15 years ago that i’d

00:01:08.439 –> 00:01:10.640
still be communicating with you mike i’m just

00:01:10.640 –> 00:01:18.239
kidding you asshat you had it coming now i now

00:01:18.239 –> 00:01:20.299
i don’t even need to ask the question that’s

00:01:20.299 –> 00:01:24.189
at the end of this We’ve done eight top 100 countdowns

00:01:24.189 –> 00:01:26.689
in the 15 years that we’ve been doing this, and

00:01:26.689 –> 00:01:28.510
now we go back all the way to the beginning.

00:01:28.629 –> 00:01:31.250
But things are completely different this time.

00:01:31.810 –> 00:01:34.230
So take it away, Optimist Solo, and give the

00:01:34.230 –> 00:01:37.129
people as well as us a little history lesson

00:01:37.129 –> 00:01:41.129
on how this list was made, as well as letting

00:01:41.129 –> 00:01:43.709
everyone know just exactly what is in store.

00:01:44.540 –> 00:01:48.019
For the 2026 edition, a .k .a. the 15th anniversary

00:01:48.019 –> 00:01:50.359
version of the Geekcast Radio Network’s Top 100

00:01:50.359 –> 00:01:55.040
Animated Series Countdown. First, I appreciate

00:01:55.040 –> 00:01:58.560
the history lesson, Nod. Second, I feel like

00:01:58.560 –> 00:02:00.659
there had to have been a Back to the Future Joker

00:02:00.659 –> 00:02:03.280
reference that you missed somewhere in there.

00:02:03.620 –> 00:02:07.780
But we’ll forgive you for that. No, my flux capacitors

00:02:07.780 –> 00:02:10.150
were fluxing. Well, anyways, we’re going back

00:02:10.150 –> 00:02:13.990
to the future. So we are 15 years later. Yeah.

00:02:14.030 –> 00:02:18.069
So this all started once upon a time with a little

00:02:18.069 –> 00:02:21.030
old website called IGN that put out a top 100

00:02:21.030 –> 00:02:26.009
animated series list on a website that acquired,

00:02:26.349 –> 00:02:32.550
I think, 368 clicks to get through. And 100 pages,

00:02:32.870 –> 00:02:35.669
actually. But yeah, I like more. I like more

00:02:35.669 –> 00:02:40.050
pages. Yeah, it took forever. now they’ve fixed

00:02:40.050 –> 00:02:43.669
it so now there’s four yeah they learned somewhere

00:02:43.669 –> 00:02:46.069
along the way and it was obviously heavily influenced

00:02:46.069 –> 00:02:49.310
at the time by the adult swim and a certain time

00:02:49.310 –> 00:02:52.389
period etc so we decided we were gonna do our

00:02:52.389 –> 00:02:55.930
own version do it better and we did that 15 years

00:02:55.930 –> 00:02:59.389
ago and now we’re back 15 years later to do it

00:02:59.389 –> 00:03:04.449
even better so the ever -evolving top 100 animated

00:03:04.449 –> 00:03:07.750
series of all time so so what he’s trying to

00:03:07.750 –> 00:03:09.949
say is folks we’re trying to top ourselves at

00:03:09.949 –> 00:03:11.849
this point since there’s no one else we need

00:03:11.849 –> 00:03:15.669
to top at this point yeah why not so there’s

00:03:15.669 –> 00:03:18.930
been a lot of websites and different publications

00:03:18.930 –> 00:03:23.629
that have done these types of lists before i

00:03:23.629 –> 00:03:26.169
think we’ve uh talked about some of those in

00:03:26.169 –> 00:03:30.330
the nomination episodes that we did and things

00:03:30.330 –> 00:03:35.870
like TV Guide and IGN and I think Wizard. And

00:03:35.870 –> 00:03:37.669
there’s been a ton of them, right? Like there’s

00:03:37.669 –> 00:03:39.270
been all kinds of websites that have done either

00:03:39.270 –> 00:03:42.830
top 25 list, top 50 list, top 100 list. But we

00:03:42.830 –> 00:03:44.569
do it a little bit different here. So we are

00:03:44.569 –> 00:03:47.810
going to put our own little spin on it and try

00:03:47.810 –> 00:03:50.009
to top all of those because I feel like all of

00:03:50.009 –> 00:03:51.750
them have different flaws. And I’m sure we’re

00:03:51.750 –> 00:03:53.129
going to have some flaws too. Like there’s always

00:03:53.129 –> 00:03:56.009
biases. There’s always different slants depending

00:03:56.009 –> 00:03:59.259
on the group that you’re… going to include

00:03:59.259 –> 00:04:01.479
but i believe we’ve learned a few things over

00:04:01.479 –> 00:04:05.620
the 15 years that have come and gone since we

00:04:05.620 –> 00:04:09.800
did this the first time so i believe we are better

00:04:09.800 –> 00:04:14.460
informed and better prepared to give you guys

00:04:14.460 –> 00:04:18.899
a pretty darn good list so what have we changed

00:04:18.899 –> 00:04:22.220
in 15 years well first the obvious there’s been

00:04:22.220 –> 00:04:26.920
15 more years of animated series y ‘all so That

00:04:26.920 –> 00:04:29.199
just comes without saying that there are other

00:04:29.199 –> 00:04:31.620
shows now that could be in contention that didn’t

00:04:31.620 –> 00:04:35.120
even exist when we did this the first time. Will

00:04:35.120 –> 00:04:38.139
it be harder for those new shows to make the

00:04:38.139 –> 00:04:41.120
list? Will there be recency bias where it’s easier

00:04:41.120 –> 00:04:43.439
because it’s top of mind? We will have to wait

00:04:43.439 –> 00:04:45.819
and see as we get into the other episodes, which

00:04:45.819 –> 00:04:49.699
will reveal the actual countdown. Mike, any thoughts

00:04:49.699 –> 00:04:53.189
about the 15 years of animated series that we’ve

00:04:53.189 –> 00:04:55.730
had since then and what kind of presence do you

00:04:55.730 –> 00:04:57.670
think they may or may not have on our top 100

00:04:57.670 –> 00:05:02.470
i going through the process of it all this time

00:05:02.470 –> 00:05:06.589
around and like you mentioned the uh the nomination

00:05:06.589 –> 00:05:10.990
episodes we did did here on geek cast radio um

00:05:10.990 –> 00:05:15.149
i’ll have to send steve the uh the link for those

00:05:15.149 –> 00:05:19.360
episodes because i have a specific tag for all

00:05:19.360 –> 00:05:21.720
all of those episodes that people can go listen

00:05:21.720 –> 00:05:25.980
to it was interesting this time because i knew

00:05:25.980 –> 00:05:29.399
this time going around it wasn’t just uh because

00:05:29.399 –> 00:05:33.240
of the numbering the point system that we use

00:05:33.240 –> 00:05:36.920
for it that i wanted to get certain things here

00:05:36.920 –> 00:05:41.800
certain things there i looked at it as okay like

00:05:41.800 –> 00:05:47.129
you just said there has been more It’s been 15

00:05:47.129 –> 00:05:50.029
years. There have been so much more, so many

00:05:50.029 –> 00:05:53.350
more cartoons that have come out since the first

00:05:53.350 –> 00:05:59.269
time we did this. And for me, I knew I wanted

00:05:59.269 –> 00:06:05.990
to get my top 10 be shows that I had watched

00:06:05.990 –> 00:06:11.509
in the last 15 years for the most part. Some

00:06:11.509 –> 00:06:15.680
are new, some are not. I did not specifically

00:06:15.680 –> 00:06:19.720
try to just get, Oh my God, all of my favorites

00:06:19.720 –> 00:06:22.420
from the eighties must be in my top. That wasn’t

00:06:22.420 –> 00:06:27.360
my goal this time at all. And it’s just, it was

00:06:27.360 –> 00:06:29.980
such an interesting and different process this

00:06:29.980 –> 00:06:32.740
time versus last time, because the, the first

00:06:32.740 –> 00:06:36.160
time it was like, we’ve never done this before.

00:06:37.180 –> 00:06:41.540
Oh my God, we’re all 80s kids, 90s kids. Oh my

00:06:41.540 –> 00:06:44.800
God, we must get every 80s and 90s cartoon in

00:06:44.800 –> 00:06:46.939
here. We got to get a lot of the classic Looney

00:06:46.939 –> 00:06:49.920
Tunes or Tom and Jerry in here. We got to make

00:06:49.920 –> 00:06:52.699
sure all of that is in here. And we have to defeat

00:06:52.699 –> 00:06:56.800
IGN at all costs, no matter the cost. That wasn’t

00:06:56.800 –> 00:06:59.500
the goal this time. The goal this time was to

00:06:59.500 –> 00:07:04.259
craft a list of the best cartoons that we could

00:07:04.259 –> 00:07:08.060
find. kind of thing, even though we’re not calling

00:07:08.060 –> 00:07:11.500
this the top 100 animated series of all time.

00:07:11.660 –> 00:07:15.839
We’re not that arrogant. I am. No, I’m just kidding.

00:07:16.259 –> 00:07:20.199
Well, we know you are. Steve, any predictions

00:07:20.199 –> 00:07:24.579
on the number of shows from the 2010s and to

00:07:24.579 –> 00:07:27.740
present that may or may not be able to crack

00:07:27.740 –> 00:07:31.000
the top 100 overall? I think it’s going to be

00:07:31.000 –> 00:07:36.019
a pretty uneven fit here. I’m just throwing it

00:07:36.019 –> 00:07:37.819
out there. I think there’s going to be some newer

00:07:37.819 –> 00:07:45.540
shows that get some of what I would expect the

00:07:45.540 –> 00:07:49.079
older shows to receive. Plus, we have anime in

00:07:49.079 –> 00:07:51.899
there as well, which we did not fully include.

00:07:52.180 –> 00:07:54.600
Yeah, a lot more anime this time around than

00:07:54.600 –> 00:07:59.120
we did last time. And I agree with Steve, but

00:07:59.120 –> 00:08:02.600
I’ll also… quote good old jr it’s gonna be

00:08:02.600 –> 00:08:06.800
a slobber knocker ladies and gentlemen yeah and

00:08:06.800 –> 00:08:09.420
not only do we have 15 more years of animated

00:08:09.420 –> 00:08:13.439
series to uh kind of look over but we’ve also

00:08:13.439 –> 00:08:16.720
changed the way that we came to what could and

00:08:16.720 –> 00:08:19.420
could not be voted on for the list so if you

00:08:19.420 –> 00:08:23.220
have not yet to listen to our nomination reveal

00:08:23.220 –> 00:08:26.180
episodes we’ve did a number of those that you

00:08:26.180 –> 00:08:29.810
can go back and listen to so 15 years ago We

00:08:29.810 –> 00:08:32.269
just got together some folks and we’ll talk more

00:08:32.269 –> 00:08:34.389
about who those folks were in a little bit. And

00:08:34.389 –> 00:08:36.769
we just said, pick anything basically that aired

00:08:36.769 –> 00:08:39.750
in, uh, on us television at some point or another.

00:08:39.850 –> 00:08:41.590
And there wasn’t a whole lot of criteria. So

00:08:41.590 –> 00:08:44.850
you could literally pick from hundreds and, you

00:08:44.850 –> 00:08:48.110
know, basically probably low thousands of, of

00:08:48.110 –> 00:08:49.409
shows. You could just pick from anything, right?

00:08:49.470 –> 00:08:52.710
Like there was no limits. So if you had that

00:08:52.710 –> 00:08:55.529
niche show that you were the only fan of that.

00:08:55.950 –> 00:08:59.110
five people watched back in 1979 and you wanted

00:08:59.110 –> 00:09:01.490
to vote that number one on your list you could

00:09:01.490 –> 00:09:03.289
have at it and you probably had a good chance

00:09:03.289 –> 00:09:05.750
of getting it on to the top 100 with some just

00:09:05.750 –> 00:09:09.929
kind of personal biases running wild when we

00:09:09.929 –> 00:09:11.789
did it that way so we decided to try to switch

00:09:11.789 –> 00:09:15.009
it up a little bit and as you heard during our

00:09:15.009 –> 00:09:17.950
nomination episodes we allowed for 50 series

00:09:17.950 –> 00:09:22.450
from five different time periods so we did the

00:09:23.049 –> 00:09:27.190
older than the 1979s and older we did the 1980s

00:09:27.190 –> 00:09:29.950
the 90s the 2000s and then the 2010s to prep

00:09:29.950 –> 00:09:33.990
and we allowed their kind of had some conversations

00:09:33.990 –> 00:09:36.129
and some research and we checked all the other

00:09:36.129 –> 00:09:38.889
online lists and we did a lot of chatting together

00:09:38.889 –> 00:09:41.269
and kind of narrowing it down talking to chat

00:09:41.269 –> 00:09:44.029
GPT and things of that nature all kinds of different

00:09:44.029 –> 00:09:46.090
pressure tests we tried to put it through to

00:09:46.090 –> 00:09:50.559
land on our 50 most incredible shows from those

00:09:50.559 –> 00:09:52.720
different time periods and that created our 250

00:09:52.720 –> 00:09:56.039
show pool and then we opened it up for the fans

00:09:56.039 –> 00:09:59.399
to select some fan choices that we had not included

00:09:59.399 –> 00:10:01.879
in those 250 and they selected 14 additional

00:10:01.879 –> 00:10:04.639
shows that they wanted us to include so that

00:10:04.639 –> 00:10:08.159
made it come to a total of 264 that our contributors

00:10:08.159 –> 00:10:11.159
got to select from so instead of thousands they

00:10:11.159 –> 00:10:16.120
got to choose from 264 we’re gonna see how that

00:10:16.120 –> 00:10:18.639
and even then it just i’m sorry to interrupt

00:10:18.639 –> 00:10:22.039
you but even then it was just like pulling teeth

00:10:22.039 –> 00:10:25.419
with some people it was like oh but what if you

00:10:25.419 –> 00:10:27.779
miss this what if you miss that what if it is

00:10:27.779 –> 00:10:32.100
what if this isn’t on there what if what if bakaru

00:10:32.100 –> 00:10:38.379
bonsai from the the 10 000 bc isn’t on the why

00:10:38.379 –> 00:10:40.899
can’t i vote for this why can’t i vote for that

00:10:40.899 –> 00:10:45.220
and i’m like you got 264 shows to vote on here

00:10:45.220 –> 00:10:49.919
like we we we did all the research we well like

00:10:49.919 –> 00:10:55.360
part of the problem too is if we had had a free

00:10:55.360 –> 00:10:57.620
-for -all we would have ended up with the last

00:10:57.620 –> 00:10:59.960
top 100 where there were shows that got voted

00:10:59.960 –> 00:11:02.519
on but still wouldn’t make the list and people

00:11:02.519 –> 00:11:04.779
would be like complaining it didn’t make the

00:11:04.779 –> 00:11:09.029
list so yeah exactly Well, it’s in it’s, you

00:11:09.029 –> 00:11:10.870
know, everybody has shows they’ve seen that other

00:11:10.870 –> 00:11:13.250
people haven’t. And that’s that’s normal. I mean,

00:11:13.250 –> 00:11:15.169
we’re all different. We all enjoy different things.

00:11:15.669 –> 00:11:20.669
And the fact that we did take a look at what

00:11:20.669 –> 00:11:22.629
we did in the past, we’ve looked at other lists

00:11:22.629 –> 00:11:24.990
that we’ve done or even other lists that have

00:11:24.990 –> 00:11:28.070
competed with ours. And we sat down and we’re

00:11:28.070 –> 00:11:30.309
like, all right, let’s curate this so that, you

00:11:30.309 –> 00:11:32.289
know, the ones that most definitely make the

00:11:32.289 –> 00:11:34.950
list anyway will be on there. And then the ones

00:11:34.950 –> 00:11:38.600
that might not get a shot. because there’s so

00:11:38.600 –> 00:11:41.659
many other shows that could end up in there kind

00:11:41.659 –> 00:11:44.220
of like the first time like we eliminated a ton

00:11:44.220 –> 00:11:47.600
that were in the original list yeah exactly and

00:11:47.600 –> 00:11:50.840
i think it was more so about our i kind of view

00:11:50.840 –> 00:11:53.919
it as a goal of coming up with the consensus

00:11:53.919 –> 00:11:58.179
top 100 yeah what i mean by that is like it’s

00:11:58.179 –> 00:12:01.860
more broadly appealing across the board shows

00:12:01.860 –> 00:12:07.399
that everybody knows name recognition and it’s

00:12:07.399 –> 00:12:11.299
it’s not so much about the niche individual cartoon

00:12:11.299 –> 00:12:14.940
that may be super high quality but only appealed

00:12:14.940 –> 00:12:17.600
to a very small portion of an audience at any

00:12:17.600 –> 00:12:20.000
given time like not taking anything away from

00:12:20.000 –> 00:12:22.279
those but this is supposed to be more of a when

00:12:22.279 –> 00:12:25.139
you’re looking at i have to say of all time because

00:12:25.139 –> 00:12:28.220
we are including all time right like i i know

00:12:28.220 –> 00:12:29.879
that’s not the title of the list but i’m saying

00:12:29.879 –> 00:12:33.100
like yeah when you look across time We’re looking

00:12:33.100 –> 00:12:35.960
for more of a consensus that had staying power,

00:12:36.179 –> 00:12:38.539
that had influence, that had all of these different

00:12:38.539 –> 00:12:40.980
things impact culturally and things like that.

00:12:41.159 –> 00:12:43.419
So I view it more of a consensus. So we were

00:12:43.419 –> 00:12:46.860
trying to learn from a lesson from 15 years ago

00:12:46.860 –> 00:12:49.879
when we did let them choose anything. And then

00:12:49.879 –> 00:12:53.700
some very niche shows that were only appealing

00:12:53.700 –> 00:12:55.559
to a very small amount of people were finding

00:12:55.559 –> 00:12:57.399
their way in because they just got ranked so

00:12:57.399 –> 00:12:59.919
high by one or two people or three people or

00:12:59.919 –> 00:13:02.120
whatever the case might be. So we wanted to avoid

00:13:02.120 –> 00:13:04.740
that, but also to make it easier on those that

00:13:04.740 –> 00:13:06.860
we were asking to contribute. Because to me,

00:13:06.879 –> 00:13:10.519
if I give you a list of 264 shows to pick from,

00:13:10.539 –> 00:13:12.519
it’s much easier than just giving you the void

00:13:12.519 –> 00:13:15.279
of, hey, pick from anything that exists. There’s

00:13:15.279 –> 00:13:17.860
no list for you. Just like do your own research.

00:13:18.200 –> 00:13:21.320
Yeah, no, that’s yeah, exactly. That’s been my

00:13:21.320 –> 00:13:23.799
whole point. We did all the research already.

00:13:24.779 –> 00:13:27.279
You know, changed a little bit as far as like

00:13:27.279 –> 00:13:29.700
the pool of cartoons that we were choosing from.

00:13:29.759 –> 00:13:32.659
That was one big change right off the bat. The

00:13:32.659 –> 00:13:35.580
second thing, and I’ll give you guys a chance

00:13:35.580 –> 00:13:38.139
to react to these as well, but we definitely

00:13:38.139 –> 00:13:41.860
changed the pool of contributors. So there was

00:13:41.860 –> 00:13:43.519
no way that we were going to have the exact same

00:13:43.519 –> 00:13:46.120
contributors that we did 15 years ago. Everybody

00:13:46.120 –> 00:13:48.220
is in different places in their lives. We’re

00:13:48.220 –> 00:13:51.019
all 15 years older and things have happened,

00:13:51.100 –> 00:13:53.620
you know, this and the other. So in the original.

00:13:54.220 –> 00:13:57.539
incarnation of this we had 20 contributors that

00:13:57.539 –> 00:14:03.039
was a pooling from basically five pop culture

00:14:03.039 –> 00:14:09.919
related websites or media outlets right we had

00:14:09.919 –> 00:14:12.720
the geek cast radio we had this week in geek

00:14:12.720 –> 00:14:17.639
we had the pop culture network we had um behind

00:14:17.639 –> 00:14:21.559
the voice actors and we had chicken pot pod those

00:14:21.559 –> 00:14:24.539
were the only groups that were represented we

00:14:24.539 –> 00:14:27.299
had 20 folks that were affiliated with those

00:14:27.299 –> 00:14:32.419
sites and media outlets we have upped the ante

00:14:32.419 –> 00:14:35.940
here and we have gone from 20 contributors to

00:14:35.940 –> 00:14:40.440
44 in this one so we more than doubled our pool

00:14:40.440 –> 00:14:44.419
of contributors and we’ve gone from five website

00:14:44.419 –> 00:14:47.519
slash media outlets to I don’t even have a number

00:14:47.519 –> 00:14:52.360
y ‘all because I was looking at the script I’m

00:14:52.360 –> 00:14:54.519
like is he just going to reveal it on air because

00:14:54.519 –> 00:14:57.220
I’m like wait a minute did he not do the math

00:14:57.220 –> 00:15:00.080
on this you always do the math on that I didn’t

00:15:00.080 –> 00:15:01.960
because there’s so many kind of gray areas but

00:15:01.960 –> 00:15:04.360
I’m going to go through just some brief overviews

00:15:04.360 –> 00:15:05.860
and I’m going to let Mike and Steve chime in

00:15:05.860 –> 00:15:08.840
because each of us is more familiar or less familiar

00:15:08.840 –> 00:15:11.679
with certain folks that are being represented

00:15:11.679 –> 00:15:16.879
so yeah First, I wanted to just give a, I guess,

00:15:16.899 –> 00:15:21.399
shout out to who’s back from the original 20.

00:15:22.100 –> 00:15:25.899
So who is back from the original 20? The original

00:15:25.899 –> 00:15:32.279
20 consisted of Mike, Steve, and myself from

00:15:32.279 –> 00:15:34.320
the Geekcast Radio Network, as well as three

00:15:34.320 –> 00:15:37.519
other folks, which were JT from Saskatoon, Tara,

00:15:37.659 –> 00:15:42.039
the Rising Star Blair, and Glade Pack. All Six

00:15:42.039 –> 00:15:46.379
of us have returned 15 years later, and I think

00:15:46.379 –> 00:15:49.679
that’s pretty cool. So we got all six of those

00:15:49.679 –> 00:15:52.960
original Geekcast Radio Network connections to

00:15:52.960 –> 00:15:57.159
contribute this time around as well. Very cool.

00:15:57.279 –> 00:16:00.879
Yeah, very cool. And after I list these all off,

00:16:00.940 –> 00:16:03.080
I’ll kind of give you guys your thoughts on the

00:16:03.080 –> 00:16:05.799
20 originals and who came back. We also have

00:16:05.799 –> 00:16:09.600
Ryan Merkley, who’s back, who contributed originally.

00:16:10.440 –> 00:16:15.620
We have Dirt from the Pop Culture Network that

00:16:15.620 –> 00:16:22.200
has come back and submitted a list again. Flava

00:16:22.200 –> 00:16:24.779
Dave, that is Dave Draper, right? That is Dave

00:16:24.779 –> 00:16:27.320
Draper, yes. We have two people from Pop Culture

00:16:27.320 –> 00:16:31.000
Network that have returned. Obviously, 15 years

00:16:31.000 –> 00:16:35.240
ago, Pixel Dan was not as busy as he is today.

00:16:36.360 –> 00:16:41.460
Pixel Dan was in the… beginnings of what he

00:16:41.460 –> 00:16:43.340
was wanting to do with his life when it came

00:16:43.340 –> 00:16:48.559
to the geek uh world and he has done phenomenal

00:16:48.559 –> 00:16:51.960
work and and is living the dream so like i can’t

00:16:51.960 –> 00:16:53.899
fault him for not having time the dude is all

00:16:53.899 –> 00:16:57.059
over the place right now yeah he he he’s out

00:16:57.059 –> 00:16:59.279
there in hollywood drinking out of power swords

00:16:59.279 –> 00:17:02.519
and stuff right and then we also had scotty uh

00:17:02.519 –> 00:17:04.460
scotty cash from pop culture network originally

00:17:04.460 –> 00:17:07.039
um so we had four folks we got we got two of

00:17:07.039 –> 00:17:09.359
them back um and then obviously like i said we

00:17:09.359 –> 00:17:12.339
have one of the this weekend geek crew back obviously

00:17:12.339 –> 00:17:14.279
christopher stapleton no longer does chicken

00:17:14.279 –> 00:17:16.859
pot pod um i don’t know where he disappeared

00:17:16.859 –> 00:17:19.619
off the map i don’t know if he’s on social media

00:17:19.619 –> 00:17:22.240
yeah he is on social media i’ve reached out to

00:17:22.240 –> 00:17:25.339
him uh he’s a preacher or a pastor of a church

00:17:25.339 –> 00:17:28.799
in i want to say tennessee i could have the state

00:17:28.799 –> 00:17:31.720
wrong um but he did not have time to participate

00:17:31.720 –> 00:17:33.420
and then we had some behind the voice actors

00:17:33.420 –> 00:17:36.069
people and phil from blogomatic they were not

00:17:36.069 –> 00:17:39.130
able to participate. So we do have six, seven,

00:17:39.210 –> 00:17:42.109
eight, nine, nine return. We almost returned

00:17:42.109 –> 00:17:44.210
half the list. So nine out of the 20 came back.

00:17:44.289 –> 00:17:46.190
Steve, what do you think about the fact that

00:17:46.190 –> 00:17:48.009
we do have some representation from the original

00:17:48.009 –> 00:17:51.109
list here? I think it’s awesome. I think that

00:17:51.109 –> 00:17:54.049
it’s great. Those that were, you know, able to

00:17:54.049 –> 00:17:57.269
and had the time to dedicate to revisiting this

00:17:57.269 –> 00:18:00.210
list, especially when it’s such a curated list,

00:18:00.309 –> 00:18:03.690
this go around instead of here’s a list of over

00:18:03.690 –> 00:18:07.390
a thousand cartoons. Good luck. Yeah, exactly.

00:18:07.529 –> 00:18:10.849
Yeah. Yeah. And so it was it was nice. You know,

00:18:10.890 –> 00:18:13.170
we did a lot of the legwork to help kind of lessen

00:18:13.170 –> 00:18:16.990
the blow of it and put, you know, easier guidelines

00:18:16.990 –> 00:18:20.250
as far as, you know, the submission process and

00:18:20.250 –> 00:18:23.049
try and make it as painless as possible. And

00:18:23.049 –> 00:18:26.430
no, I think it’s awesome the amount of people

00:18:26.430 –> 00:18:28.369
that did come back from the original. And that

00:18:28.369 –> 00:18:32.069
just is awesome, too, because it shows the biases

00:18:32.069 –> 00:18:34.799
from the original. are not going to come into

00:18:34.799 –> 00:18:37.460
play in this one because we have so many new

00:18:37.460 –> 00:18:42.160
people. Yeah. We have 35 new folks. Before I

00:18:42.160 –> 00:18:44.400
get into those, Mike, did you have any thoughts

00:18:44.400 –> 00:18:46.299
on the nine that returned or the original crew?

00:18:46.720 –> 00:18:49.920
No, it’s awesome that they came back. So thankful

00:18:49.920 –> 00:18:51.960
that they were able to take time out of their

00:18:51.960 –> 00:18:54.819
busy schedules and busy lives to come back and

00:18:54.819 –> 00:18:57.339
contribute. And thank you to them for doing so.

00:18:58.480 –> 00:19:05.539
You know, we always have wanted to… We have

00:19:05.539 –> 00:19:10.480
a community here at the GCRN in saying, hey,

00:19:10.660 –> 00:19:13.099
anytime you want to come back, come back. If

00:19:13.099 –> 00:19:15.400
there’s anything you need from us, anything you,

00:19:15.460 –> 00:19:20.180
you know, have an idea for or, you know, is it

00:19:20.180 –> 00:19:23.220
OK if we reach out to you? Yada, yada, yada,

00:19:23.220 –> 00:19:26.400
yada, yada. We always want to be able to have

00:19:26.400 –> 00:19:29.500
an open communication with everybody that we’ve

00:19:29.500 –> 00:19:32.579
ever worked with. uh sometimes it doesn’t always

00:19:32.579 –> 00:19:35.960
happen but you know life is as life does and

00:19:35.960 –> 00:19:38.480
whatever else but no it’s great that that the

00:19:38.480 –> 00:19:40.880
that everyone that did come back has come back

00:19:40.880 –> 00:19:44.720
and it’s so awesome and yeah no it’s it’s great

00:19:44.720 –> 00:19:47.660
it’s it’s wonderful i think it was fun to being

00:19:47.660 –> 00:19:49.339
able to reach back out to some of the folks we

00:19:49.339 –> 00:19:52.240
used to um you know communicate and record with

00:19:52.240 –> 00:19:54.259
way back in the day like you know obviously tara

00:19:54.259 –> 00:19:56.539
comes to mind like being able to to make that

00:19:56.539 –> 00:19:58.579
connection again and see how she was doing. And

00:19:58.579 –> 00:20:00.619
she was very excited to participate. So things

00:20:00.619 –> 00:20:02.599
like that, you know, blade was obviously around

00:20:02.599 –> 00:20:05.079
way back in the early days. So those things are

00:20:05.079 –> 00:20:08.019
definitely fun. So that means we have 35 new

00:20:08.019 –> 00:20:10.940
faces that are contributing. And by new, I don’t

00:20:10.940 –> 00:20:12.799
necessarily mean new to the network, just new

00:20:12.799 –> 00:20:15.700
to the top 100 animated series countdown. Cause

00:20:15.700 –> 00:20:17.339
they were not involved when we did this one,

00:20:17.359 –> 00:20:19.359
since it was the first one we’ve done. A few

00:20:19.359 –> 00:20:21.160
of these folks have done a number of the other

00:20:21.160 –> 00:20:23.420
countdowns or contributed and some of the other

00:20:23.420 –> 00:20:25.640
ones that we’ve done. So they won’t be new. names

00:20:25.640 –> 00:20:27.920
to the listeners necessarily, but from the geek

00:20:27.920 –> 00:20:30.819
cast radio network or former geek cast radio

00:20:30.819 –> 00:20:34.180
network staff and, and contributors, co -hosts,

00:20:34.180 –> 00:20:38.059
et cetera. Obviously Dan Clark, the comic concierge

00:20:38.059 –> 00:20:40.339
is back. He’s contributed to almost, I think

00:20:40.339 –> 00:20:42.740
every other top 100 list we’ve done besides the

00:20:42.740 –> 00:20:45.299
first one, I think just because he wasn’t quite

00:20:45.299 –> 00:20:49.500
around yet. Um, um, Amanda is back. She’s currently

00:20:49.500 –> 00:20:51.680
the co -host of the true bromance podcast with

00:20:51.680 –> 00:20:56.289
Hyro, the former, uh, BCRN. co -host on cinema

00:20:56.289 –> 00:20:59.970
geek so uh and my wife i should uh i buried the

00:20:59.970 –> 00:21:02.910
lead there i guess but yeah you should have led

00:21:02.910 –> 00:21:06.670
with that dude you’re sleeping on the couch tonight

00:21:06.670 –> 00:21:11.809
right um jeremy fane uh um is here as well as

00:21:11.809 –> 00:21:14.089
i’ll probably mess up a couple of them here we’ll

00:21:14.089 –> 00:21:16.490
get to them as i go through um the simplistic

00:21:16.490 –> 00:21:18.769

00:23:48.680 –> 00:23:51.380
she used to do a lot of the podcasting stuff

00:23:51.380 –> 00:23:54.519

00:23:54.519 –> 00:23:59.579

00:24:07.440 –> 00:24:10.880
does most of the he is the main host along with

00:24:10.880 –> 00:24:15.039
his wife abby So they do all kinds of movie stuff

00:24:15.039 –> 00:24:19.119

00:24:19.119 –> 00:24:22.339
Tim Nydell. Yeah, Tim Nydell does. He used to

00:24:22.339 –> 00:24:25.299
do Saturday Morning Rewind. He is now doing a

00:24:25.299 –> 00:24:28.579
thing called Pressing Rewind. So that’s cool.

00:24:28.660 –> 00:24:33.279
Art Danner used to actually do XRG with Mike

00:24:33.279 –> 00:24:36.859
Powers, Michael Powers, longtime friend, longtime

00:24:36.859 –> 00:24:39.640
friend of Steve’s more than. I mean, he’s a longtime

00:24:39.640 –> 00:24:44.079
friend of all of ours, but Steve is. how mike

00:24:44.079 –> 00:24:46.440
and art and everybody got all introduced to all

00:24:46.440 –> 00:24:48.839
of us so he’s the reason i started altered geek

00:24:48.839 –> 00:24:54.480
yeah exactly uh so but art and i have done several

00:24:54.480 –> 00:24:58.259
podcasts over the years episodes and i i had

00:24:58.259 –> 00:25:00.140
reached out to him and i said hey do you want

00:25:00.140 –> 00:25:05.720
to do this and he’s like sure okay uh so yeah

00:25:05.720 –> 00:25:09.940
so there’s art and uh who else is on that list

00:25:11.750 –> 00:25:13.950
I think we’ve named most of them. We’ve got Brad

00:25:13.950 –> 00:25:16.970
Mull on there also, I forgot to mention. And

00:25:16.970 –> 00:25:23.269
then Alana Ace from Alana Unleashed. That takes

00:25:23.269 –> 00:25:27.430
us to 38. We had six more people contribute,

00:25:27.609 –> 00:25:29.769
and we’ll call that the celebrity wing, I guess.

00:25:30.250 –> 00:25:34.690
We tried to up our game even more. How about

00:25:34.690 –> 00:25:38.390
we get some folks that are in the industry or

00:25:38.390 –> 00:25:41.950
have been working perpendicular or parallel to

00:25:41.950 –> 00:25:45.109
the industry, I guess, for a long time. So we

00:25:45.109 –> 00:25:47.569
have some cartoon historians that we got on board

00:25:47.569 –> 00:25:50.289
here. Jerry Beck is probably one of the most

00:25:50.289 –> 00:25:52.750
well -known cartoon historians out there. He

00:25:52.750 –> 00:25:56.069
has been featured on multiple TV documentary

00:25:56.069 –> 00:25:58.390
type styles and different things like that. He’s

00:25:58.390 –> 00:26:00.890
got some books that you can check out that he’s

00:26:00.890 –> 00:26:03.410
written on some of the classic, you know, cartoon

00:26:03.410 –> 00:26:05.410
era and things of that nature. So we have Jerry

00:26:05.410 –> 00:26:08.500
Beck that participated. We also have Greg Airbar,

00:26:08.640 –> 00:26:13.619
who is another cartoon historian and who’s done

00:26:13.619 –> 00:26:16.180
similar work along with Jerry Beck. They’ve just

00:26:16.180 –> 00:26:18.019
done a ton of work when it comes to some of the

00:26:18.019 –> 00:26:21.279
classic era. And Keith Scott, as well as a cartoon

00:26:21.279 –> 00:26:24.220
historian and a voice actor. If you want to go

00:26:24.220 –> 00:26:27.000
back in the day, he did a lot of cool classic

00:26:27.000 –> 00:26:30.380
cartoon voices. And then how about some actual

00:26:30.380 –> 00:26:33.220
writers from some cartoon shows that may or may

00:26:33.220 –> 00:26:35.880
not come up? over the course of our countdown.

00:26:36.099 –> 00:26:40.259
We’re talking about Tom Ruger from the Animaniacs

00:26:40.259 –> 00:26:45.160
Tiny Toon family. Yeah, we have Flint Dill and

00:26:45.160 –> 00:26:51.200
Buzz Dixon. So we have some legit folks that

00:26:51.200 –> 00:26:54.000
submitted lists. Some of them, we allowed anybody

00:26:54.000 –> 00:26:55.940
to submit a list. They had to be at least 25

00:26:55.940 –> 00:26:58.619
cartoons long. Some of them submitted 50, some

00:26:58.619 –> 00:27:01.809
submitted 100. So it was fun getting all of those.

00:27:01.869 –> 00:27:03.490
The majority of the folks that did participate

00:27:03.490 –> 00:27:07.630
did submit lists of 100. So that was fun. The

00:27:07.630 –> 00:27:09.769
other thing that that does, I know, Steve, we

00:27:09.769 –> 00:27:13.369
kind of talked about this offline, but when we

00:27:13.369 –> 00:27:16.789
did this 15 years ago with those 20 folks, I

00:27:16.789 –> 00:27:19.130
know Tara was a little bit younger, but had we

00:27:19.130 –> 00:27:23.089
taken Tara out of the equation, our age range

00:27:23.089 –> 00:27:26.950
was not huge 15 years ago. No, it was not. I

00:27:26.950 –> 00:27:29.920
think we were probably all within. five to ten

00:27:29.920 –> 00:27:33.259
years of each other would be my guess not knowing

00:27:33.259 –> 00:27:35.079
every single person’s age i know there was a

00:27:35.079 –> 00:27:38.160
few folks a tiny bit older than me and there

00:27:38.160 –> 00:27:39.720
was a some folks that were a little bit younger

00:27:39.720 –> 00:27:42.200
but we’re not talking about like different generations

00:27:42.200 –> 00:27:46.119
necessarily and that is not the case this time

00:27:46.119 –> 00:27:50.779
around we have well how your youngest son is

00:27:50.779 –> 00:27:55.039
how old steve He’s 10 going on 11. So he’s technically

00:27:55.039 –> 00:28:02.019
in the gen alpha. And my older son is gen Z.

00:28:02.160 –> 00:28:10.359
So he’s 13. So we go from the age range of 10,

00:28:10.420 –> 00:28:13.099
who I believe, and I didn’t ask all of these

00:28:13.099 –> 00:28:14.779
gentlemen their age because that would be rude.

00:28:14.859 –> 00:28:17.859
But from what I could find from research, I believe

00:28:17.859 –> 00:28:23.309
our oldest participant is 72. So most of the

00:28:23.309 –> 00:28:25.349
six celebrities I listed off, Jerry Beck, Buzz

00:28:25.349 –> 00:28:27.769
Dixon, Scott Greger, Flint Dilley, and Tom Ruger

00:28:27.769 –> 00:28:33.549
are all in their seventies or up. I believe they’re

00:28:33.549 –> 00:28:36.569
all in their seven. So 70, 71, 72, somewhere

00:28:36.569 –> 00:28:39.130
in there, there might be a couple in their upper

00:28:39.130 –> 00:28:42.410
sixties and I’m probably getting stones thrown

00:28:42.410 –> 00:28:44.589
at me now, but, um, but basically, yeah, from

00:28:44.589 –> 00:28:47.390
age 10, we’ll call it from 10 to like 70. So

00:28:47.390 –> 00:28:50.170
we have. Decades and decades worth of representation

00:28:50.170 –> 00:28:54.049
here. And obviously, we ourselves are 15 years

00:28:54.049 –> 00:28:57.589
older than we were. And we have some more folks

00:28:57.589 –> 00:28:59.390
that are probably younger than us that are involved

00:28:59.390 –> 00:29:02.309
this time around, too. So I feel like we have

00:29:02.309 –> 00:29:07.710
a great range of age represented this time. And

00:29:07.710 –> 00:29:11.150
I think one thing that will be interesting is

00:29:11.150 –> 00:29:14.710
how that translates into the shows that make

00:29:14.710 –> 00:29:21.190
our countdown. Instead of last time where the

00:29:21.190 –> 00:29:24.990
majority of us grew up in the 80s or 90s, now

00:29:24.990 –> 00:29:26.789
we have a range, right? We have some people that

00:29:26.789 –> 00:29:28.650
have been growing up in the last 10 years. We

00:29:28.650 –> 00:29:31.390
have some people that grew up before all of us

00:29:31.390 –> 00:29:33.930
were watching cartoons whatsoever. So how is

00:29:33.930 –> 00:29:35.549
that going to impact the newer shows? How is

00:29:35.549 –> 00:29:37.410
it going to impact the classics? We’re going

00:29:37.410 –> 00:29:39.230
to have to wait and see. I did not have my daughter

00:29:39.230 –> 00:29:42.829
participate. She is only the age of five. And

00:29:42.829 –> 00:29:46.039
the reason being is because… For example, we

00:29:46.039 –> 00:29:48.299
have books that she brings home from the library

00:29:48.299 –> 00:29:50.160
and she has to read, and then she gets little

00:29:50.160 –> 00:29:52.400
badges for them for school. And at the end of

00:29:52.400 –> 00:29:54.160
every little test that she takes on these books,

00:29:54.200 –> 00:29:56.740
it asks her to rate the book on a scale of one

00:29:56.740 –> 00:30:00.859
through four stars for being great. We have read

00:30:00.859 –> 00:30:03.759
probably 30 -some books this year, and every

00:30:03.759 –> 00:30:07.619
book has gotten a four -star rating. So I don’t

00:30:07.619 –> 00:30:09.740
know if she’s at the age where she can discern.

00:30:10.240 –> 00:30:14.160
Yeah, she’s not. at the point yet where she knows

00:30:14.160 –> 00:30:19.640
oh this is a this is not a right you know five

00:30:19.640 –> 00:30:23.019
star four star cherry book this is a one star

00:30:23.019 –> 00:30:26.940
lemon book yet like right so so one less vote

00:30:26.940 –> 00:30:29.079
i guess for paw patrol and maybe that how to

00:30:29.079 –> 00:30:30.859
train your dragon cartoon because we didn’t include

00:30:30.859 –> 00:30:33.759
her but uh maybe another another countdown in

00:30:33.759 –> 00:30:37.119
the future we’ll get her going but she does have

00:30:37.119 –> 00:30:40.880
fans she tells me that watch She has a flock

00:30:40.880 –> 00:30:44.859
that are her fans on YouTube. We’ll let her think

00:30:44.859 –> 00:30:47.920
that they exist. Anyways, so I think it’s going

00:30:47.920 –> 00:30:49.940
to be interesting to see how this age range plays

00:30:49.940 –> 00:30:56.099
out into our lists. And I will say that there

00:30:56.099 –> 00:30:59.819
was a certain group in our celebrity wing that

00:30:59.819 –> 00:31:02.920
definitely was upset that we didn’t include more

00:31:02.920 –> 00:31:06.140
of the classic cartoons than we did. I’m sure.

00:31:06.460 –> 00:31:10.759
They thought only including 50. from 1979 and

00:31:10.759 –> 00:31:14.619
before was was not quite right a few of them

00:31:14.619 –> 00:31:18.759
definitely voiced that too so anyway um it’ll

00:31:18.759 –> 00:31:21.700
be interesting to see how that all plays out

00:31:21.700 –> 00:31:24.519
so mike any thoughts about the pool of contributors

00:31:24.519 –> 00:31:27.059
this time around no i think it’s going to be

00:31:27.059 –> 00:31:30.220
good and i can guarantee you folks batman the

00:31:30.220 –> 00:31:32.380
animated series and the simpsons are not going

00:31:32.380 –> 00:31:36.859
to be number one and number two this time but

00:31:36.859 –> 00:31:40.710
no it’s already placing bets Hey, place your

00:31:40.710 –> 00:31:43.910
bets early, folks. But it’s one of those things

00:31:43.910 –> 00:31:47.329
where having the pool that we have now, that’s

00:31:47.329 –> 00:31:52.690
great because we have such a diverse range of

00:31:52.690 –> 00:31:56.789
generations. And I think that’s cool. I, you

00:31:56.789 –> 00:32:01.150
know, I will tell you that for those that haven’t

00:32:01.150 –> 00:32:04.150
listened to any of our other top 100 countdowns,

00:32:04.150 –> 00:32:05.990
which come on, guys, go back and listen to those.

00:32:06.269 –> 00:32:09.009
But anyways, if you haven’t. The way this typically

00:32:09.009 –> 00:32:11.890
works for those first timers amongst us is I’m

00:32:11.890 –> 00:32:15.210
the only one with the information. So I mean

00:32:15.210 –> 00:32:17.410
like that, and I guess I’m a control freak like

00:32:17.410 –> 00:32:20.750
that. So I’m the only one that knows who voted

00:32:20.750 –> 00:32:22.809
for what. I’m the only one that knows which shows

00:32:22.809 –> 00:32:25.029
have made the top 100, where they place, et cetera.

00:32:25.089 –> 00:32:27.230
Everything else gets revealed live on air or

00:32:27.230 –> 00:32:30.329
on the show. So you get real reactions from the

00:32:30.329 –> 00:32:33.609
panel. And because of that, it’s double -sided.

00:32:33.609 –> 00:32:34.950
You’re going to get real authentic reactions.

00:32:35.509 –> 00:32:38.289
But on the other side of that coin is, nobody

00:32:38.289 –> 00:32:41.410
is able to research and prepare a hundred percent

00:32:41.410 –> 00:32:43.390
for what they’re going to have to talk about

00:32:43.390 –> 00:32:46.029
yeah and i know we get critiqued sometimes or

00:32:46.029 –> 00:32:48.710
criticized sometimes for that but i will say

00:32:48.710 –> 00:32:51.230
that a majority of the shows that are in our

00:32:51.230 –> 00:32:55.630
264 possible shows we are familiar with and we

00:32:55.630 –> 00:32:58.630
have all had different experiences with them

00:32:58.630 –> 00:33:00.430
or we did some homework and some research on

00:33:00.430 –> 00:33:02.470
them ahead of time so yes we may not know which

00:33:02.470 –> 00:33:05.589
100 are going to get here but unlike last time

00:33:06.799 –> 00:33:08.940
it’s less likely that there’s just one completely

00:33:08.940 –> 00:33:11.059
out of left field that we didn’t see coming we

00:33:11.059 –> 00:33:14.759
all know what the choices were so yeah and it’s

00:33:14.759 –> 00:33:17.700
the only way to do it honestly it’s we’ve been

00:33:17.700 –> 00:33:22.900
doing this for 15 damn years and it’s the best

00:33:22.900 –> 00:33:25.859
way that we’ve done it there’s no other way that

00:33:25.859 –> 00:33:30.319
we’ll ever do it because it’s the most real way

00:33:30.319 –> 00:33:34.380
to do it is for you to have the have the information

00:33:35.599 –> 00:33:38.160
So, yeah. Another thing that helps with having

00:33:38.160 –> 00:33:42.440
44 folks this time is that having already been

00:33:42.440 –> 00:33:44.579
able to look over all the submissions from all

00:33:44.579 –> 00:33:48.500
the folks, I can tell you that there was a few

00:33:48.500 –> 00:33:50.779
individuals, maybe one, maybe two, maybe three,

00:33:50.839 –> 00:33:54.380
that you can tell were very much 80s centric,

00:33:54.380 –> 00:33:56.539
right? Like I saw a couple of lists that were

00:33:56.539 –> 00:33:58.559
very heavily influenced by cartoons from the

00:33:58.559 –> 00:34:00.920
80s. I also saw some lists that were very heavily

00:34:00.920 –> 00:34:04.509
influenced by cartoons from the 90s. And I also

00:34:04.509 –> 00:34:07.609
saw lists that were very heavily influenced by

00:34:07.609 –> 00:34:10.130
the classic era, like anything from the 50s,

00:34:10.130 –> 00:34:15.530
60s, etc. So those biases and those kind of lists

00:34:15.530 –> 00:34:17.789
that centered around certain time periods did

00:34:17.789 –> 00:34:22.730
exist. But I feel like because there’s 44 lists

00:34:22.730 –> 00:34:25.429
and because each time period has had some different

00:34:25.429 –> 00:34:29.010
proponents of it that have been included, I don’t

00:34:29.010 –> 00:34:31.429
know if any time period has a distinct advantage.

00:34:31.949 –> 00:34:34.579
Yeah. So I think that’s an interesting thing

00:34:34.579 –> 00:34:36.760
when we get 44 lists to see how kind of some

00:34:36.760 –> 00:34:41.840
of that gets spread out. And I do have some data

00:34:41.840 –> 00:34:44.159
for all the nerds out there that are like me.

00:34:45.219 –> 00:34:47.239
So we’re going to throw some numbers at you,

00:34:47.260 –> 00:34:49.019
and then we’re going to give you some things

00:34:49.019 –> 00:34:50.960
to kind of keep an eye on as we start doing the

00:34:50.960 –> 00:34:53.659
reveal episodes. And then we’re going to tease

00:34:53.659 –> 00:34:55.900
you at the very end with some shows. We’re not

00:34:55.900 –> 00:34:58.519
revealing any of our top 100, but we are going

00:34:58.519 –> 00:35:01.539
to reveal a few shows that just missed. the top

00:35:01.539 –> 00:35:03.980
100 to kind of whet your appetite. So that’ll

00:35:03.980 –> 00:35:07.380
be coming towards the end. So first, for some

00:35:07.380 –> 00:35:12.440
data here, we had 264 shows that were eligible

00:35:12.440 –> 00:35:16.559
to be voted on. Steve or Mike, do you have any

00:35:16.559 –> 00:35:19.900
guesses as to how many of those 264 shows got

00:35:19.900 –> 00:35:25.579
a vote? All of them. Well, yeah, I don’t know.

00:35:25.940 –> 00:35:29.880
I’ll say probably all but like 30. It was interesting

00:35:29.880 –> 00:35:31.659
because when we were doing the nomination episodes,

00:35:31.780 –> 00:35:35.219
we were very clear that like which ones we were

00:35:35.219 –> 00:35:37.340
going to possibly consider and which ones we

00:35:37.340 –> 00:35:39.539
for sure weren’t and things of that nature. But

00:35:39.539 –> 00:35:41.679
there’s quite a few, especially from a couple

00:35:41.679 –> 00:35:43.000
of the time periods that you probably were going

00:35:43.000 –> 00:35:46.320
to like not consider. Right. Like there’s only

00:35:46.320 –> 00:35:51.579
100 spots, etc. Out of those 264 shows, 260 of

00:35:51.579 –> 00:35:57.159
them received votes. Wow. All for four. That’s

00:35:57.159 –> 00:36:01.050
awesome. Okay. That was surprising. Question.

00:36:01.170 –> 00:36:03.610
What were the four that didn’t receive the votes?

00:36:03.969 –> 00:36:07.730
Can’t tell. Yeah, you can. Steve doesn’t want

00:36:07.730 –> 00:36:10.429
me to tell. Oh, come on. I’m just messing with

00:36:10.429 –> 00:36:12.909
you now because it’s fun. I can reveal those

00:36:12.909 –> 00:36:15.969
if you would like me to. Yeah. Go for it. A little

00:36:15.969 –> 00:36:19.590
bit more niche, I suppose. And three of them,

00:36:19.769 –> 00:36:22.050
let’s see, two of them were from the more recent

00:36:22.050 –> 00:36:25.809
time periods. And I believe one was from the

00:36:25.809 –> 00:36:29.179
early. time period and one was from the 2000s

00:36:29.179 –> 00:36:32.039
so the earliest one the one from the pre -1980s

00:36:32.039 –> 00:36:35.099
that did not get a vote surprising with the the

00:36:35.099 –> 00:36:38.139
list that we had here but from 1971 the funky

00:36:38.139 –> 00:36:40.679
phantom did not receive a single vote really

00:36:40.679 –> 00:36:44.039
yeah wow i would not have been able to predict

00:36:44.039 –> 00:36:47.800
that one out of that group i kind of get it though

00:36:47.800 –> 00:36:51.500
it’s interesting yeah yeah interestingly enough

00:36:51.500 –> 00:37:00.199
out of the 14 fan added shows 13 of them got

00:37:00.199 –> 00:37:05.000
votes nice so only one show that the that the

00:37:05.000 –> 00:37:08.659
fans nominated did not get a vote and that would

00:37:08.659 –> 00:37:13.619
be the 2009 version of the garfield show did

00:37:13.619 –> 00:37:18.360
not receive a vote okay it’s still amazing though

00:37:18.360 –> 00:37:22.000
that so many of even the fan votes made it in

00:37:22.000 –> 00:37:25.170
right You have at least got some votes. Doesn’t

00:37:25.170 –> 00:37:26.650
mean that they all made the top 100, obviously,

00:37:26.750 –> 00:37:28.250
because there’s not them and that’s not how math

00:37:28.250 –> 00:37:30.010
works, but they all got at least votes. The other

00:37:30.010 –> 00:37:33.630
two will definitely go on me because their niche

00:37:33.630 –> 00:37:36.150
shows that I think I’m apparently the only one

00:37:36.150 –> 00:37:39.889
that saw them in the last 15 years. And I think

00:37:39.889 –> 00:37:41.389
they deserve more love, but they did not get

00:37:41.389 –> 00:37:44.130
any love on our group. So that would be Nico

00:37:44.130 –> 00:37:46.730
and the Sword of Light and the Kulapari, the

00:37:46.730 –> 00:37:49.690
Army of Frogs with Mark Hamill. So those are

00:37:49.690 –> 00:37:52.690
from 2016 and 2017. They did not receive a single

00:37:52.690 –> 00:37:54.309
vote either, including myself. I didn’t vote

00:37:54.309 –> 00:37:57.969
for him. So they made the nominee list. I think

00:37:57.969 –> 00:37:59.690
that’s good. Maybe somebody will go watch them,

00:37:59.750 –> 00:38:03.429
but not enough love to get a vote. I tried watching

00:38:03.429 –> 00:38:07.630
them and I couldn’t. It just wasn’t for me. Fair

00:38:07.630 –> 00:38:10.510
enough. All right. So that’s your first little

00:38:10.510 –> 00:38:13.849
data thing here. All right. What’s it going to

00:38:13.849 –> 00:38:17.739
take to make the list this time around? I already

00:38:17.739 –> 00:38:21.260
told Mike and Steve this, uh, off air, but last

00:38:21.260 –> 00:38:26.500
time you needed, uh, so many points to get on

00:38:26.500 –> 00:38:28.840
the list. And this time you needed a different

00:38:28.840 –> 00:38:30.880
number. I’ll just put it that way. So this time

00:38:30.880 –> 00:38:33.519
in order to make the list, you needed to have

00:38:33.519 –> 00:38:38.900
at least 762 points. That would have been for

00:38:38.900 –> 00:38:44.260
reference because people might not remember last

00:38:44.260 –> 00:38:47.760
time. What did they need last time? I don’t have

00:38:47.760 –> 00:38:49.420
the number that you needed to make the list,

00:38:49.480 –> 00:38:51.239
but I have the number that that would have placed

00:38:51.239 –> 00:38:56.139
you on last time. Okay. So just to make the list

00:38:56.139 –> 00:39:00.800
this time, you needed 762 votes. If you had 762

00:39:00.800 –> 00:39:03.159
points last time, you would have been in our

00:39:03.159 –> 00:39:08.440
top 30. Oh, wow. Damn. Oh, and also we doubled

00:39:08.440 –> 00:39:12.179
the number too. So right. True. Still, that’s

00:39:12.179 –> 00:39:16.340
crazy. Yeah. So it. Took some voting to get you

00:39:16.340 –> 00:39:20.400
into the list this time around. All right. Let’s

00:39:20.400 –> 00:39:22.559
put some pressure on. And I know there’s going

00:39:22.559 –> 00:39:24.199
to be certain people that listening and are trying

00:39:24.199 –> 00:39:26.440
to like make their predictions early and formulate

00:39:26.440 –> 00:39:28.420
what’s going to land where and what’s not going

00:39:28.420 –> 00:39:29.800
to make it and this, that, and the other. But

00:39:29.800 –> 00:39:34.460
how about this? How many of our original top

00:39:34.460 –> 00:39:41.239
50 survived and are still in our top 100? Oh,

00:39:41.300 –> 00:39:47.260
Steve. I’m going to say… Did all of them make

00:39:47.260 –> 00:39:50.059
it, or did some get boosted all the way out of

00:39:50.059 –> 00:39:52.159
the countdown? I’m going to say 38 of them made

00:39:52.159 –> 00:39:59.760
it. Mike? I’m going to… As much as… I’m just

00:39:59.760 –> 00:40:05.659
going to make the clerk’s joke. 37. Only two

00:40:05.659 –> 00:40:09.119
shows in our top 50 last time are not going to

00:40:09.119 –> 00:40:13.030
be on the countdown at all. So we’re returning

00:40:13.030 –> 00:40:16.730
48 out of our top 50 shows are still going to

00:40:16.730 –> 00:40:20.510
be on the countdown. Yeah. Not telling you where

00:40:20.510 –> 00:40:23.329
they’re going to fall, but that is okay. You’re

00:40:23.329 –> 00:40:24.650
not, you’re not going to tell us where they’re

00:40:24.650 –> 00:40:26.949
going to fall, but I can live with that. Yeah.

00:40:27.030 –> 00:40:29.570
But what are the two that didn’t make it? Not

00:40:29.570 –> 00:40:35.690
telling you. Oh, come on. No, it doesn’t. It

00:40:35.690 –> 00:40:38.050
does too, because yeah, there’ll be outrage.

00:40:38.309 –> 00:40:40.760
There’ll be outrage. How about this? How many

00:40:40.760 –> 00:40:45.880
of our top 100 last time will not appear on this

00:40:45.880 –> 00:40:58.880
list at all? I do not know. No guess. All right.

00:40:58.920 –> 00:41:02.420
So out of the top 100 we revealed last time,

00:41:02.539 –> 00:41:06.159
27 of those shows will not be mentioned this

00:41:06.159 –> 00:41:10.599
time. Wow. So not quite a third of our list is

00:41:10.599 –> 00:41:14.440
going to disappear. Can you give us the top two

00:41:14.440 –> 00:41:18.480
that didn’t that aren’t going to? Oh, come on.

00:41:19.179 –> 00:41:22.059
Come on. Nuggets. I’m only giving away nuggets.

00:41:22.219 –> 00:41:26.539
Come on. That is a nugget. Come on. How about

00:41:26.539 –> 00:41:29.159
this for something I didn’t consider? All right.

00:41:30.320 –> 00:41:35.079
Shows that were eligible last time and received

00:41:35.079 –> 00:41:41.210
votes. That didn’t make our top 100. But we’ll

00:41:41.210 –> 00:41:46.650
make it this time. Okay. Interesting. We have

00:41:46.650 –> 00:41:52.070
16. Oh, wow. That received votes last time. Not

00:41:52.070 –> 00:41:54.449
enough to make the top 100, but have gained enough

00:41:54.449 –> 00:41:58.670
votes in these 15 years. Now make the top 100.

00:41:58.789 –> 00:42:01.630
16 of them. So that is not something I even thought

00:42:01.630 –> 00:42:04.780
about when we were doing this. We talked a lot

00:42:04.780 –> 00:42:06.360
when we were doing the nomination episodes of

00:42:06.360 –> 00:42:09.380
ones that we had in our top 100 that may not

00:42:09.380 –> 00:42:11.400
make it, right? Because we were like, there’s

00:42:11.400 –> 00:42:13.199
15 more years of cartoons. We got to make some

00:42:13.199 –> 00:42:15.000
spots, so certain ones are going to drop out.

00:42:15.239 –> 00:42:17.659
Never did I consider ones that were eligible

00:42:17.659 –> 00:42:19.239
last time that didn’t make it that will make

00:42:19.239 –> 00:42:23.360
it this time. Wow. So, again, a different pool

00:42:23.360 –> 00:42:27.969
of people. So, definitely interesting. And then

00:42:27.969 –> 00:42:30.170
it’s going to certainly throw things off like

00:42:30.170 –> 00:42:32.750
massively in this one. So it’s good. I feel like

00:42:32.750 –> 00:42:35.250
there’s going to be a huge upset. Well, yeah,

00:42:35.369 –> 00:42:37.590
it’s like I said at the beginning, everything

00:42:37.590 –> 00:42:41.210
is different this time around. Everything’s different.

00:42:42.050 –> 00:42:50.769
All right. So we had 44 contributors. Yep. And

00:42:50.769 –> 00:42:57.809
just out of curiosity, how many? different shows

00:42:57.809 –> 00:43:01.670
do you think we had ranked number one by a contributor

00:43:01.670 –> 00:43:07.409
all 44 no really some repeats and there’s some

00:43:07.409 –> 00:43:08.949
there’s definitely people that multiple people

00:43:08.949 –> 00:43:12.590
that had the same number one still really we

00:43:12.590 –> 00:43:16.250
have 20 different shows that got ranked number

00:43:16.250 –> 00:43:23.230
one by at least one contributor oh right interesting

00:43:23.230 –> 00:43:26.789
here’s an interesting secondary question from

00:43:26.789 –> 00:43:30.130
there out of those 20 shows that were ranked

00:43:30.130 –> 00:43:33.329
number one by at least one contributor how many

00:43:33.329 –> 00:43:42.230
of those 20 made the top 100 15 10 believe it

00:43:42.230 –> 00:43:45.650
is if my math is right i believe it’s 17 wow

00:43:45.650 –> 00:43:48.730
those three people’s number ones will not be

00:43:48.730 –> 00:43:54.150
talked about at least not in the proper 100 through

00:43:54.150 –> 00:43:56.840
one they’ll be talked about be a wrap up and

00:43:56.840 –> 00:43:59.139
different things yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but

00:43:59.139 –> 00:44:01.420
they’re not actually in the countdown yeah i

00:44:01.420 –> 00:44:04.179
can see that yeah a little bit harder this time

00:44:04.179 –> 00:44:06.599
because last time if you put something at a number

00:44:06.599 –> 00:44:08.340
one it probably had a pretty good chance of at

00:44:08.340 –> 00:44:10.019
least getting in the countdown even if it was

00:44:10.019 –> 00:44:13.239
number 100 right yeah this time with 44 folks

00:44:13.900 –> 00:44:15.940
You needed more than just one person voting at

00:44:15.940 –> 00:44:18.739
number one. Well, yeah, because the more people,

00:44:18.780 –> 00:44:21.460
the harder it is to. I mean, you basically needed

00:44:21.460 –> 00:44:25.179
762 points. Yeah, exactly. You needed seven people

00:44:25.179 –> 00:44:28.199
to put it number one and one person to put it,

00:44:28.239 –> 00:44:30.440
you know, whatever the number that is about top

00:44:30.440 –> 00:44:33.019
50 in order just to make the list. So that’s

00:44:33.019 –> 00:44:34.760
kind of a crazy thing to think about. So those

00:44:34.760 –> 00:44:36.679
are some of the stats I will throw out there.

00:44:37.639 –> 00:44:40.880
As far as things to keep an eye on this time

00:44:40.880 –> 00:44:42.500
around, some of these will be similar to what

00:44:42.500 –> 00:44:44.079
we did last time, but I just want to kind of

00:44:44.079 –> 00:44:46.420
set the table for things that you’ll probably

00:44:46.420 –> 00:44:49.699
hear us bring up here and there throughout the

00:44:49.699 –> 00:44:54.579
countdown. Yep. Number one, which time period

00:44:54.579 –> 00:44:56.880
reigns supreme? So we’ll definitely be keeping

00:44:56.880 –> 00:45:00.420
track of the entrance and when they came from.

00:45:00.559 –> 00:45:03.820
So at the end of the day, will the pre -1980s

00:45:03.820 –> 00:45:07.099
reign supreme, the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s? or

00:45:07.099 –> 00:45:11.340
the 2010 to present. So that is something that

00:45:11.340 –> 00:45:13.679
we will definitely be keeping track of as we

00:45:13.679 –> 00:45:15.579
go. Mike, do you have any predictions on which

00:45:15.579 –> 00:45:17.639
time period will reign supreme and which one

00:45:17.639 –> 00:45:26.360
will be the least representative? I want to say

00:45:26.360 –> 00:45:35.579
that the… Thinking of who most of the 44…

00:45:37.349 –> 00:45:42.750
Combatants are. I want to say the 80s and 90s

00:45:42.750 –> 00:45:47.329
is the majority. Which time period do you think

00:45:47.329 –> 00:45:52.130
will have the least representation? I want to

00:45:52.130 –> 00:45:55.909
say the more modern stuff. Do you agree or disagree?

00:45:56.349 –> 00:45:59.469
I don’t know. I don’t know, though, because like

00:45:59.469 –> 00:46:04.960
for me, like. There are at least. I think six

00:46:04.960 –> 00:46:08.719
or seven modern shows that I would have ranked

00:46:08.719 –> 00:46:12.860
really high. I don’t know. Steve, go ahead. He’s

00:46:12.860 –> 00:46:15.320
like, I don’t know. Pass the baton. I don’t know.

00:46:16.420 –> 00:46:21.659
I’m going to guess we’re still going to be 80s

00:46:21.659 –> 00:46:27.539
and 90s heavy. That would leave the pre -1980s,

00:46:27.539 –> 00:46:29.780
the 2000s, or the 2010 to present. Which one

00:46:29.780 –> 00:46:32.920
do you think is least representative? I think

00:46:32.920 –> 00:46:42.980
it’s going to be I think you said pre -1980s?

00:46:43.000 –> 00:46:45.960
Yeah, pre -1980s, the 2000s, or the 2010 to present.

00:46:46.139 –> 00:46:48.960
I think pre -1980s is going to be the least represented.

00:46:49.300 –> 00:46:52.539
Okay. Another thing that we will be keeping track

00:46:52.539 –> 00:46:58.920
of, I’ve already put in the time to log the following

00:46:58.920 –> 00:47:01.159
two pieces of information for every show that

00:47:01.159 –> 00:47:04.780
made the top 100. The first thing I logged was

00:47:04.780 –> 00:47:08.699
what channel it aired on mainly in the beginning.

00:47:08.780 –> 00:47:11.440
I know some shows jump from channel to channel,

00:47:11.519 –> 00:47:15.079
et cetera. Yeah. But as far as the original show,

00:47:15.219 –> 00:47:20.079
what channel did they air on or in some situations

00:47:20.079 –> 00:47:23.039
where they syndicated? Right. So that’s something

00:47:23.039 –> 00:47:25.880
that we will be keeping track of. Anybody have

00:47:25.880 –> 00:47:28.340
a guess as to a channel that will be most represented?

00:47:29.570 –> 00:47:33.230
Well, if we’re talking pre -1980s, it’s probably

00:47:33.230 –> 00:47:39.710
either NBC, ABC, or CBS. If we’re talking 1980s

00:47:39.710 –> 00:47:44.409
and forward, it could be Fox. It could be almost

00:47:44.409 –> 00:47:47.250
anything. Talking 90s, it’s definitely Cartoon

00:47:47.250 –> 00:47:51.030
Network. It could be anything. Steve, any thoughts

00:47:51.030 –> 00:47:55.690
on Channel? I’m kind of torn because we had…

00:47:56.559 –> 00:48:00.219
uh we had so many channels we had the nbc cbs

00:48:00.219 –> 00:48:06.480
abc fox uh we had kids wb we had usa cartoon

00:48:06.480 –> 00:48:09.860
express we had cartoons on the sci -fi channel

00:48:09.860 –> 00:48:14.360
we had disney uh cartoon network uh yeah there

00:48:14.360 –> 00:48:22.139
was just a ton i’m gonna guess yeah and there

00:48:22.139 –> 00:48:24.360
was like abc family too i think that had some

00:48:24.360 –> 00:48:30.880
stuff uh yeah I’m kind of torn between Fox Kids

00:48:30.880 –> 00:48:38.960
and Cartoon Network. I don’t think this is something

00:48:38.960 –> 00:48:40.840
we looked at too much last time around, so I

00:48:40.840 –> 00:48:42.239
think this is going to be an interesting one.

00:48:42.300 –> 00:48:43.760
No, it wasn’t. This will be interesting. We never

00:48:43.760 –> 00:48:46.019
did, yeah. And the other thing that I’m pairing

00:48:46.019 –> 00:48:48.280
that with, and sometimes it’s a similar thing,

00:48:48.360 –> 00:48:51.659
but the other thing I tracked for all of these

00:48:51.659 –> 00:48:55.400
shows was the production company that produced

00:48:55.400 –> 00:49:00.150
the cartoon. Yeah. Any guesses, Mike, as far

00:49:00.150 –> 00:49:04.530
as the most frequent company that produces these?

00:49:05.110 –> 00:49:07.190
Well, I think, again, it’s going to tie into

00:49:07.190 –> 00:49:09.349
the time period. It’s going to tie into the decades.

00:49:09.469 –> 00:49:12.090
So you get pre -1980s, that’s going to be Warner

00:49:12.090 –> 00:49:15.750
Brothers, that’s going to be Disney, that’s going

00:49:15.750 –> 00:49:19.050
to be that kind of stuff. 80s, it could be Sunbow,

00:49:19.230 –> 00:49:24.230
it could be… whatever 90s like steve said it

00:49:24.230 –> 00:49:27.469
could be warner brothers it could be whatever

00:49:27.469 –> 00:49:31.190
you get into the 2010s and to the present day

00:49:31.190 –> 00:49:36.550
it could be anything so i mean yeah it’s going

00:49:36.550 –> 00:49:38.869
to be very interesting to see how many production

00:49:38.869 –> 00:49:43.650
companies are are tied to how many cartoons are

00:49:43.650 –> 00:49:47.880
tied to which production companies yeah Steve,

00:49:47.880 –> 00:49:49.760
any production companies that jumped to the top

00:49:49.760 –> 00:49:53.260
of your mind? I’m going to say Warner Brothers

00:49:53.260 –> 00:49:55.780
just because they had Hanna -Barbera. They had

00:49:55.780 –> 00:49:58.760
a lot of the legacy studios involved there. And

00:49:58.760 –> 00:50:02.099
then you had Spielberg and everything else, you

00:50:02.099 –> 00:50:06.500
know, with the Tiny Teens Animaniacs. I mean,

00:50:06.519 –> 00:50:09.460
they owned the 90s with a lot of stuff, especially

00:50:09.460 –> 00:50:13.980
with programs with Tom Ruger. So I’m going to

00:50:13.980 –> 00:50:16.380
say Warner Brothers. Okay. I’ll have to see how

00:50:16.380 –> 00:50:18.539
that plays out. Another thing that we will look

00:50:18.539 –> 00:50:21.119
at is how we can separate this into different

00:50:21.119 –> 00:50:24.079
groupings as far as maybe genres go. So, for

00:50:24.079 –> 00:50:27.980
example, we have the adult primetime, almost

00:50:27.980 –> 00:50:29.380
like Adult Swim, but it doesn’t have to be on

00:50:29.380 –> 00:50:30.760
Adult Swim, but you know what I’m talking about,

00:50:30.880 –> 00:50:35.280
right? The adult primetime comedy shows. We have

00:50:35.280 –> 00:50:39.920
anime. We have the superhero cartoons. We have

00:50:39.920 –> 00:50:42.380
just normal comedy series like made for kids.

00:50:42.519 –> 00:50:45.360
We have like the action series that appealed

00:50:45.360 –> 00:50:47.659
a lot to, you know, boys that were growing up

00:50:47.659 –> 00:50:50.860
watching cartoons. Mike, do you think of any

00:50:50.860 –> 00:50:52.260
of those or something else that pops in your

00:50:52.260 –> 00:50:54.679
mind that you think may be very heavily represented

00:50:54.679 –> 00:50:59.079
in the top 100? No, it’s all sound about right.

00:50:59.840 –> 00:51:03.719
Do you think one will reign supreme? When it

00:51:03.719 –> 00:51:09.530
comes to genre of cartoon. Knowing us. It’s,

00:51:09.530 –> 00:51:13.809
knowing us and the people we hang out with, it’s

00:51:13.809 –> 00:51:19.769
probably going to be sci -fi, robots, that kind

00:51:19.769 –> 00:51:26.489
of stuff. Might be some comedy. Again, I do not,

00:51:26.530 –> 00:51:32.230
I will literally swallow my microphone if Batman

00:51:32.230 –> 00:51:34.469
the Animated Series and The Simpsons are number

00:51:34.469 –> 00:51:39.809
two and number one. This countdown will be null

00:51:39.809 –> 00:51:42.650
and void if that happens. I think it’s going

00:51:42.650 –> 00:51:44.489
to be, I think there’s going to be an upset.

00:51:44.769 –> 00:51:48.409
I know, I know, I know. Based on the sheer amount

00:51:48.409 –> 00:51:52.170
of different people. Exactly. I know. I’m just

00:51:52.170 –> 00:51:56.909
saying, I don’t think with everyone we have this

00:51:56.909 –> 00:51:59.170
time, like we’ve already said in this episode,

00:51:59.429 –> 00:52:04.050
we’ve practically, we’ve just gone over double

00:52:04.050 –> 00:52:06.769
what we’ve got 44 this time. Last time we had

00:52:06.769 –> 00:52:12.400
20. we’ve gone double plus four in the participants

00:52:12.400 –> 00:52:17.559
and we have all of the stuff we’ve had we we’ve

00:52:17.559 –> 00:52:20.639
done this so differently than we did last time

00:52:20.639 –> 00:52:23.340
i don’t think it’s going to happen but as far

00:52:23.340 –> 00:52:27.460
as the genre of cartoon and knowing how the three

00:52:27.460 –> 00:52:32.139
of us are with the each of our tastes and things

00:52:32.760 –> 00:52:36.920
I just don’t know which genre is going to win

00:52:36.920 –> 00:52:41.960
the battle, but just knowing how the three of

00:52:41.960 –> 00:52:46.380
us love Star Trek, Star Wars, Transformers, just

00:52:46.380 –> 00:52:50.280
those three franchises alone, look at all of

00:52:50.280 –> 00:52:55.099
the animation between Star Wars and Transformers.

00:52:56.000 –> 00:52:58.780
I mean, Star Trek has a little animation here

00:52:58.780 –> 00:53:01.610
and there. Not much. Or so in recent years. I

00:53:01.610 –> 00:53:03.750
mean, they’ve got three series, but yeah. Okay,

00:53:03.829 –> 00:53:08.070
yeah. I didn’t want to… I was waiting for you

00:53:08.070 –> 00:53:14.170
to say that, but compared to… Yeah, anyway.

00:53:14.510 –> 00:53:18.489
I don’t know. Genre is up in the air. Mike’s

00:53:18.489 –> 00:53:21.349
drowning. Save him, Steve. What genre do you

00:53:21.349 –> 00:53:26.409
think will be most represented? Honestly, I think

00:53:26.409 –> 00:53:31.619
that we’re going to end up with… a lot of either

00:53:31.619 –> 00:53:35.239
sci -fi fantasy type stuff just because you get

00:53:35.239 –> 00:53:38.460
your your superheroes you get your robots you

00:53:38.460 –> 00:53:40.699
get you know pretty much i mean they’re all sci

00:53:40.699 –> 00:53:43.900
-fi based so i would i would say that is going

00:53:43.900 –> 00:53:46.280
to be our kind of our bread and butter no matter

00:53:46.280 –> 00:53:49.019
what happens since you mentioned superheroes

00:53:49.019 –> 00:53:51.219
put you on the spot here you think we end up

00:53:51.219 –> 00:53:53.139
having more or less superhero representation

00:53:53.139 –> 00:53:55.659
than we did last time i think we’ll have more

00:53:55.659 –> 00:53:59.389
okay what about anime I think we’ll have more.

00:54:00.030 –> 00:54:05.090
What about adult comedy? I think it’ll be probably

00:54:05.090 –> 00:54:09.809
a split. I think it’s going to be a lot less

00:54:09.809 –> 00:54:14.769
than what you would expect, but I think some

00:54:14.769 –> 00:54:16.389
of the most prominent ones are going to show

00:54:16.389 –> 00:54:19.289
up. I think some of the most prominent ones are

00:54:19.289 –> 00:54:20.590
going to show up, but I think they’re going to

00:54:20.590 –> 00:54:23.670
be in the middle of the list when they show up.

00:54:23.769 –> 00:54:28.480
So I think they’re going to be 52, 53, 54. That

00:54:28.480 –> 00:54:30.800
area. I’ll have to wait and see. Another thing

00:54:30.800 –> 00:54:33.900
that I’m going to be keeping track of is which

00:54:33.900 –> 00:54:37.539
franchises have the most representation or which

00:54:37.539 –> 00:54:40.760
properties. So like last time, I didn’t do enough

00:54:40.760 –> 00:54:44.079
research, I guess, on the last countdown. I know

00:54:44.079 –> 00:54:46.619
we had a couple franchises that were very heavily

00:54:46.619 –> 00:54:49.659
represented. For example, I believe we had four

00:54:49.659 –> 00:54:53.539
different entrants in the Spider -Man IP in our

00:54:53.539 –> 00:54:56.780
original list. I think Batman, we had at least

00:54:56.780 –> 00:55:00.059
three, if not four, and things of that nature.

00:55:00.199 –> 00:55:03.280
So what are your guys’ thoughts when it comes

00:55:03.280 –> 00:55:07.400
to franchises? And does having more people mean

00:55:07.400 –> 00:55:10.579
that those get more spread out and less likely

00:55:10.579 –> 00:55:14.000
to have multiple? Or because we’ve had 15 more

00:55:14.000 –> 00:55:16.139
years and more reboots and remakes and different

00:55:16.139 –> 00:55:17.920
spinoffs, does it mean that we’re more likely

00:55:17.920 –> 00:55:21.679
to have more of a certain franchise or another?

00:55:23.500 –> 00:55:26.519
I think we definitely have more of certain franchises

00:55:26.519 –> 00:55:28.340
just because there have been so many reboots.

00:55:28.340 –> 00:55:32.219
We’ve had multiple Ninja Turtles reboots. Two

00:55:32.219 –> 00:55:35.420
of them weren’t even existing back when we did

00:55:35.420 –> 00:55:39.199
the first one. We’ve had multiple Transformers

00:55:39.199 –> 00:55:41.300
series since then that didn’t exist. We’ve had

00:55:41.300 –> 00:55:45.219
multiple Batman series. We’ve had different Dragon

00:55:45.219 –> 00:55:47.400
Ball series. We’ve had different animes. We’ve

00:55:47.400 –> 00:55:51.130
had some other… different Cartoon Network shows

00:55:51.130 –> 00:55:53.690
that didn’t exist. There’s so many different

00:55:53.690 –> 00:55:56.010
shows that didn’t exist during the first list

00:55:56.010 –> 00:55:59.329
or that were just getting started to the point

00:55:59.329 –> 00:56:03.869
that they weren’t worthy to be included or eligible.

00:56:04.309 –> 00:56:07.789
There were shows that I was debating when we

00:56:07.789 –> 00:56:11.090
were going through the initial list of how many

00:56:11.090 –> 00:56:14.010
seasons did it have? Is it recency bias that

00:56:14.010 –> 00:56:17.650
I wanted on there? It literally was like, okay,

00:56:17.650 –> 00:56:19.760
how… how well is this going to be remembered

00:56:19.760 –> 00:56:22.159
a year from now? And I’m, I’m glad that some

00:56:22.159 –> 00:56:24.579
of the choices I made, you know, of not including

00:56:24.579 –> 00:56:29.099
them, uh, made sense because again, like some

00:56:29.099 –> 00:56:31.480
of these shows deserve to be on here. And then

00:56:31.480 –> 00:56:34.019
some of them it’s like, okay, is it, is it like

00:56:34.019 –> 00:56:37.079
my bias speaking or is it like truly worthy?

00:56:37.639 –> 00:56:43.019
You know? So I, I think that, I think we’re going

00:56:43.019 –> 00:56:44.440
to see a lot of shows that we didn’t expect.

00:56:45.239 –> 00:56:47.880
Yeah. That could be. We’ll have to wait and see.

00:56:47.960 –> 00:56:50.380
Another last thing that I have already logged

00:56:50.380 –> 00:56:56.679
for us is the movement of shows. So I have written

00:56:56.679 –> 00:57:01.300
down exactly how many spaces a show fell or how

00:57:01.300 –> 00:57:05.219
many it rose. So it either did better than last

00:57:05.219 –> 00:57:07.260
time or did worse than last time or it stayed

00:57:07.260 –> 00:57:09.099
the exact same or whatever the case may be. So

00:57:09.099 –> 00:57:10.820
I have all of that logged too so we can kind

00:57:10.820 –> 00:57:14.139
of… gauge how much a show dropped or gained

00:57:14.139 –> 00:57:17.480
in popularity with our new group and with 15

00:57:17.480 –> 00:57:19.559
more years. So that’ll be something that we reveal

00:57:19.559 –> 00:57:23.179
as we kind of go through. All right. So that

00:57:23.179 –> 00:57:26.280
is all stuff to look forward to. Also, I want

00:57:26.280 –> 00:57:29.780
to, I haven’t talked to Steve or Mike about this,

00:57:29.820 –> 00:57:32.739
but I want to have, I’m going to put it on them,

00:57:32.739 –> 00:57:36.699
spring it on air. So in previous, and we talked

00:57:36.699 –> 00:57:38.659
a little bit about this, but we didn’t a hundred

00:57:38.659 –> 00:57:40.480
percent come to a decision. So I have a proposal

00:57:40.480 –> 00:57:43.940
here. In previous top 100 lists, whenever we

00:57:43.940 –> 00:57:48.019
had a tie, we had a specific written down tiebreaker.

00:57:48.860 –> 00:57:52.099
And it usually consisted of what did it appear

00:57:52.099 –> 00:57:55.360
on more lists. And then there’s also the logic

00:57:55.360 –> 00:57:58.380
of what was the highest. It was ranked, which

00:57:58.380 –> 00:58:00.639
show had the highest ranking out of all of the

00:58:00.639 –> 00:58:04.519
lists. My proposal for us is, and typically when

00:58:04.519 –> 00:58:07.969
we do these records, we invite some. guest commentators

00:58:07.969 –> 00:58:10.110
to join us and talk about the things. I’m sure

00:58:10.110 –> 00:58:12.309
that will happen this time as well along the

00:58:12.309 –> 00:58:15.230
way. My proposal is every time we have a tie

00:58:15.230 –> 00:58:19.070
that we decide on air which one goes which spot.

00:58:20.289 –> 00:58:22.909
We just have the conversation between those two

00:58:22.909 –> 00:58:24.909
shows and come to a determination on which one

00:58:24.909 –> 00:58:27.530
we are going to rank higher. Whoever is on the

00:58:27.530 –> 00:58:29.610
panel at that point. Whoever is on the record.

00:58:30.929 –> 00:58:34.260
I’m game. we’ll add a little wrinkle and i will

00:58:34.260 –> 00:58:36.119
tell you right off the bat that that is going

00:58:36.119 –> 00:58:44.139
to come up six times we have six ties in our

00:58:44.139 –> 00:58:46.679
top 100 which is crazy with this many people

00:58:46.679 –> 00:58:48.960
okay and this many shows and this many folks

00:58:48.960 –> 00:58:53.039
okay another question then so six times that

00:58:53.039 –> 00:58:56.019
this is going to happen yep how many decades

00:58:56.019 –> 00:58:59.559
is it going to happen in how many of the five

00:58:59.559 –> 00:59:02.340
decades is it happening in Well, it could be

00:59:02.340 –> 00:59:03.920
two shows from completely different decades that

00:59:03.920 –> 00:59:07.219
are tied. So it depends, but we’re going to get

00:59:07.219 –> 00:59:09.119
a good feel for how that process works. Cause

00:59:09.119 –> 00:59:10.539
it’s going to happen three times in our first

00:59:10.539 –> 00:59:14.099
episode. Oh, wow. Well, at least, at least the

00:59:14.099 –> 00:59:16.260
first one. Yeah. I was going to say, at least

00:59:16.260 –> 00:59:18.219
we’re knocking it out in one episode. We’ll find

00:59:18.219 –> 00:59:20.039
out if our process works or not, or if it’s a

00:59:20.039 –> 00:59:24.380
jam. So, well, and that’s the benefit of the

00:59:24.380 –> 00:59:28.400
comment section. Yes, absolutely. Speaking of

00:59:28.400 –> 00:59:31.550
the comment section. We’ve come to that time

00:59:31.550 –> 00:59:34.289
where I can, if you guys like, I could reveal

00:59:34.289 –> 00:59:37.989
a few shows that did not make it. How many we

00:59:37.989 –> 00:59:40.210
reveal is going to be up to you. I will tell

00:59:40.210 –> 00:59:43.969
you and preface that by the more we reveal, the

00:59:43.969 –> 00:59:46.210
more heat we’re going to take right off the bat.

00:59:47.570 –> 00:59:52.650
Hey, but controversy is fun. I could reveal the

00:59:52.650 –> 00:59:54.769
three that just missed it. I could reveal the

00:59:54.769 –> 00:59:57.190
five. I could reveal 10 that just missed it.

00:59:57.230 –> 00:59:59.340
I don’t know how much we want to. Just do the

00:59:59.340 –> 01:00:02.599
top 10 animated series. It seems like a solid

01:00:02.599 –> 01:00:08.920
number. And then it gets that blood flowing right

01:00:08.920 –> 01:00:12.179
on the post. All right. So like I said, in order

01:00:12.179 –> 01:00:15.400
to make the countdown, you needed at least 762

01:00:15.400 –> 01:00:18.159
points based on all the tallies that we got.

01:00:18.500 –> 01:00:21.860
The top 10 shows that didn’t make it are going

01:00:21.860 –> 01:00:26.940
to range from 677 to 761. So one of them missed

01:00:26.940 –> 01:00:30.309
it by one point. The other missed it by almost

01:00:30.309 –> 01:00:34.750
100. Not quite. So I will go in order of furthest

01:00:34.750 –> 01:00:40.849
away to the closest. So coming in in the 110th

01:00:40.849 –> 01:00:44.909
place, I believe it was, I don’t remember if

01:00:44.909 –> 01:00:47.670
this one was on our countdown or not, but 677

01:00:47.670 –> 01:00:50.889
points. This is a show entitled, Mike’s going

01:00:50.889 –> 01:00:53.110
to not like this, but whatever. This is a pup

01:00:53.110 –> 01:00:57.480
named Scooby -Doo. 110. Did not. make the list.

01:00:57.539 –> 01:01:01.920
That is from our 80s time. That’s crazy. Wait

01:01:01.920 –> 01:01:05.199
a minute. What did that make last time? I don’t

01:01:05.199 –> 01:01:07.119
know if it was on our list or not. I don’t think

01:01:07.119 –> 01:01:09.219
it was, but I don’t think it was. I’m pretty

01:01:09.219 –> 01:01:12.079
sure it was. I have to cross -reference the 17

01:01:12.079 –> 01:01:14.679
other charts and graphs I have here, but I do

01:01:14.679 –> 01:01:16.820
not believe it made the list last time. That’s

01:01:16.820 –> 01:01:22.079
too much work. Next one up that did not make

01:01:22.079 –> 01:01:27.230
the cut this time. This one is from the 2000s,

01:01:27.230 –> 01:01:32.630
I believe. And this is 109th place for American

01:01:32.630 –> 01:01:36.309
Dad. Oh, okay. That’s fine. American Dad did

01:01:36.309 –> 01:01:39.349
not quite have enough juice to reach the top

01:01:39.349 –> 01:01:42.730
100. That’s interesting. Alright, let’s go back

01:01:42.730 –> 01:01:48.389
to the 80s. 108th place. Disney show here. 684

01:01:48.389 –> 01:01:51.130
points. Not enough to make the top 100 for The

01:01:51.130 –> 01:01:57.079
New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Damn. That’s

01:01:57.079 –> 01:01:59.519
brutal. So three interesting ones that we’ve

01:01:59.519 –> 01:02:01.199
revealed so far. Pub Name Scooby -Doo, American

01:02:01.199 –> 01:02:02.880
Dad, and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

01:02:04.239 –> 01:02:06.519
With our next one, though, is where we will start

01:02:06.519 –> 01:02:09.719
catching some flack and some heat and some controversy

01:02:09.719 –> 01:02:14.239
in the comments section. This show is also going

01:02:14.239 –> 01:02:17.880
to represent a show that definitely was on our

01:02:17.880 –> 01:02:21.960
Top 100 Countdown last time, I believe, where

01:02:21.960 –> 01:02:30.469
it was… It was number 99 last time. Oh, wow.

01:02:30.750 –> 01:02:34.869
Dropped down to 107th. This is Neon Genesis Evangelion.

01:02:35.949 –> 01:02:41.670
Oh, man. Oh, boy. Let the hate begin. That’s

01:02:41.670 –> 01:02:44.670
going to be brutal. Yes. Because there are huge

01:02:44.670 –> 01:02:47.309
fans. I had to check it a couple different times

01:02:47.309 –> 01:02:49.250
to see if it was correct and to make sure I didn’t

01:02:49.250 –> 01:02:53.829
add something wrong. But that is the… happened

01:02:53.829 –> 01:02:57.389
there so all right um next up this one also made

01:02:57.389 –> 01:03:01.869
our original countdown at number 78 it drops

01:03:01.869 –> 01:03:05.610
out of the countdown this time at 106 captain

01:03:05.610 –> 01:03:11.650
and oh dang that’s okay not quite enough love

01:03:11.650 –> 01:03:16.969
for captain and all right this show at 105th

01:03:16.969 –> 01:03:19.309
definitely was not on our original countdown

01:03:19.309 –> 01:03:23.710
because it did not exist From the last 15 years,

01:03:23.949 –> 01:03:25.590
I guess the first time we’ve mentioned that,

01:03:25.630 –> 01:03:27.969
a show that didn’t quite have enough to make

01:03:27.969 –> 01:03:31.550
it missed it by that much, about 59 points. Bluey

01:03:31.550 –> 01:03:35.429
is not going to make our top 100. So Bluey dismisses

01:03:35.429 –> 01:03:39.650
100. Not sure why I’m cheering, but all right.

01:03:39.730 –> 01:03:43.650
Yes. He’s like, no kids cartoons. Right? Not

01:03:43.650 –> 01:03:46.110
that one anyway. Bluey is a very good cartoon,

01:03:46.269 –> 01:03:48.329
just for the record. There could be, there are

01:03:48.329 –> 01:03:52.219
worse out there. Just saying. If we didn’t get

01:03:52.219 –> 01:03:54.699
enough heat for Neon Genesis, how about we add

01:03:54.699 –> 01:03:57.920
some more to it with our 104th selection that

01:03:57.920 –> 01:04:00.059
didn’t quite make the list, also did not exist

01:04:00.059 –> 01:04:02.579
when we did this list originally, but is often

01:04:02.579 –> 01:04:05.519
cited as one of the best, if not the best, animated

01:04:05.519 –> 01:04:08.500
series of all time. Also, the first time we’re

01:04:08.500 –> 01:04:10.019
going to mention somebody’s number one that did

01:04:10.019 –> 01:04:12.380
not make the countdown, this would be Bojack

01:04:12.380 –> 01:04:17.420
Horseman at 104. Not enough points to make the

01:04:17.420 –> 01:04:22.570
list. Dang. I can at least say I’ve watched five

01:04:22.570 –> 01:04:27.530
episodes of all of these. I think, and this one

01:04:27.530 –> 01:04:29.349
goes back to the consensus. This is one of those

01:04:29.349 –> 01:04:31.750
examples where, yes, quite a few people would

01:04:31.750 –> 01:04:33.690
have this very high, if not number one in the

01:04:33.690 –> 01:04:36.690
top 10. But when it comes to consensus over time,

01:04:36.789 –> 01:04:42.070
over generations, not as universally appreciated,

01:04:42.409 –> 01:04:44.429
I guess. So not taking anything away from the

01:04:44.429 –> 01:04:46.650
quality of the show itself, but did not have

01:04:46.650 –> 01:04:48.550
enough staying power amongst 44 lists to make

01:04:48.550 –> 01:04:52.039
our top 100. Let’s have our third in a row from

01:04:52.039 –> 01:04:55.260
shows that didn’t exist back when we did it last

01:04:55.260 –> 01:04:58.480
time. So coming in at 103rd would be Young Justice.

01:04:59.320 –> 01:05:05.139
Oh, dang. Young Justice did not make the list.

01:05:05.900 –> 01:05:08.800
How about our 89th pick from our original countdown?

01:05:08.920 –> 01:05:12.260
Also not making the list. Coming in at 102nd,

01:05:12.260 –> 01:05:16.440
our first or second, I guess, show from the 90s.

01:05:16.440 –> 01:05:20.579
That would be The Magic Schoolboy. Wow. Is this

01:05:20.579 –> 01:05:25.940
the new one or the old one? The 90s one, I believe.

01:05:26.280 –> 01:05:28.960
I don’t have all the years written down here,

01:05:29.039 –> 01:05:31.199
but I believe that would be the 90s one. There

01:05:31.199 –> 01:05:32.760
are going to be some people revolting over these

01:05:32.760 –> 01:05:36.280
lists already. I know. And our last one that

01:05:36.280 –> 01:05:38.119
didn’t make the countdown, for the record, Magic

01:05:38.119 –> 01:05:40.699
School Bus missed it by six points. So all somebody

01:05:40.699 –> 01:05:43.019
else needed to do was rank it like 94th, and

01:05:43.019 –> 01:05:46.780
it would have been in the top 100. All right.

01:05:47.309 –> 01:05:49.269
Our last one that didn’t quite make it and our

01:05:49.269 –> 01:05:51.889
only one so far that we’ve talked about, I think

01:05:51.889 –> 01:05:54.710
we covered all the time periods except for pre

01:05:54.710 –> 01:05:58.090
-1980s. So here’s our first pre -1980s mention.

01:05:58.269 –> 01:06:00.590
This show did not make the list because it was

01:06:00.590 –> 01:06:05.329
one point short. Somebody else needed to rank

01:06:05.329 –> 01:06:07.389
it 100 and it would have been in there. We’re

01:06:07.389 –> 01:06:12.590
talking about George of the Jungle. So George

01:06:12.590 –> 01:06:16.150
of the Jungle, not quite enough to make the list.

01:06:16.619 –> 01:06:19.320
I do find it funny how this list played out,

01:06:19.400 –> 01:06:23.920
though. Like in order of like what is is closest

01:06:23.920 –> 01:06:28.579
to making the list versus not. Right. So to go

01:06:28.579 –> 01:06:30.320
over that just real quickly, a pup named Scooby

01:06:30.320 –> 01:06:32.320
Doo, American Dad, New Adventures of Winnie the

01:06:32.320 –> 01:06:35.039
Pooh, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Captain and the

01:06:35.039 –> 01:06:37.579
Game Master, Bluey, Bojack Horseman, Young Justice,

01:06:37.820 –> 01:06:41.340
Magic School Bus and George of the Jungle. Steve,

01:06:41.440 –> 01:06:47.039
further reaction. I can definitely see some people

01:06:47.039 –> 01:06:48.880
being a little upset of a few of these on here.

01:06:49.800 –> 01:06:52.300
Specifically, I can see people being a little

01:06:52.300 –> 01:06:55.460
upset about, you know, Neon Genesis Evangelion,

01:06:55.639 –> 01:07:00.340
Bojack Horseman, probably Magic School Bus, depending.

01:07:00.619 –> 01:07:03.980
And then like American Dad. The rest of them,

01:07:04.019 –> 01:07:07.440
I could see people being like indifferent. But

01:07:07.440 –> 01:07:10.809
yeah, that’s that’s crazy. don’t think it reveals

01:07:10.809 –> 01:07:12.469
too much about the list either because we have

01:07:12.469 –> 01:07:17.590
a pre -1980s we have three 1980s shows two 90s

01:07:17.590 –> 01:07:20.989
only one from the 2000s and then three from the

01:07:20.989 –> 01:07:23.969
2010s to present that just makes me want to go

01:07:23.969 –> 01:07:25.530
through my list again just to figure out what

01:07:25.530 –> 01:07:29.050
i so we have all of the time periods represented

01:07:29.050 –> 01:07:31.570
there and we had one person’s number one already

01:07:31.570 –> 01:07:33.789
fall so that means there’s two other number ones

01:07:33.789 –> 01:07:36.960
that we did not talk about just now, and we will

01:07:36.960 –> 01:07:38.860
not talk about in the top 100. So those folks

01:07:38.860 –> 01:07:40.900
are going to have to wait until the entire list

01:07:40.900 –> 01:07:43.119
is revealed, and then we’ll mention it in the

01:07:43.119 –> 01:07:45.320
wrap -up show, I guess. That’ll be the first

01:07:45.320 –> 01:07:48.480
time that those two folks figure out where their

01:07:48.480 –> 01:07:52.639
top pick was. And it’s interesting, because I

01:07:52.639 –> 01:07:54.760
will tell you, the other two number one picks

01:07:54.760 –> 01:08:01.500
fell to 148th place. Oh, wow. And 199th place.

01:08:01.980 –> 01:08:06.429
Oh, damn. So they weren’t relatively close as

01:08:06.429 –> 01:08:10.489
far as that goes. So yeah, that’s the teaser.

01:08:10.869 –> 01:08:13.070
Those are 10 shows that didn’t make it. We got

01:08:13.070 –> 01:08:16.270
100 shows that did. Steve, do you want to talk

01:08:16.270 –> 01:08:18.670
a little bit about where people can comment as

01:08:18.670 –> 01:08:20.710
far as the website goes and some stuff like that?

01:08:21.710 –> 01:08:25.090
Yeah, so there’s some different stuff going on

01:08:25.090 –> 01:08:27.090
this time on the website, and I’ll be moving

01:08:27.090 –> 01:08:29.170
some of the links directly to the main page after

01:08:29.170 –> 01:08:34.000
this episode is posted. we’re going to have a

01:08:34.000 –> 01:08:37.300
couple of new features actually. Uh, in addition

01:08:37.300 –> 01:08:43.840
to this, we have, we have the, the fan voting

01:08:43.840 –> 01:08:47.640
and it’s like a fan zone area. Transformers animated

01:08:47.640 –> 01:08:51.420
joke. Yeah. Yeah. I didn’t catch that until just

01:08:51.420 –> 01:08:56.020
now. Um, yeah. So anyways, it’s going to allow

01:08:56.020 –> 01:08:58.340
people to, we’re going to have some sections

01:08:58.340 –> 01:09:00.060
where people will be able to vote themselves.

01:09:03.490 –> 01:09:05.430
And granted, some of the dates on it need to

01:09:05.430 –> 01:09:06.930
be updated because we’re recording this a little

01:09:06.930 –> 01:09:10.010
later than what we expected. But there’ll be

01:09:10.010 –> 01:09:13.050
a certain amount of shows where they can vote.

01:09:13.750 –> 01:09:16.409
And I’m probably going to do like open entry

01:09:16.409 –> 01:09:17.989
just because I don’t want to have to type it

01:09:17.989 –> 01:09:19.970
a million times and have people cycle through

01:09:19.970 –> 01:09:22.789
like dropdowns. And then I’ll just sort through

01:09:22.789 –> 01:09:28.090
it after. But there’s also going to be the ability

01:09:28.090 –> 01:09:32.659
to do voice submissions for this. And people

01:09:32.659 –> 01:09:34.960
will be able to save clips from 30 seconds to

01:09:34.960 –> 01:09:41.000
180 seconds. And they will be included in some

01:09:41.000 –> 01:09:43.260
of the future episodes where they will be able

01:09:43.260 –> 01:09:46.079
to defend their favorite show and the reason

01:09:46.079 –> 01:09:49.659
why or why not it should or should not have been

01:09:49.659 –> 01:09:53.579
on this list. I’m going to ask that people just

01:09:53.579 –> 01:09:57.500
limit it to one per episode, but… Because it

01:09:57.500 –> 01:09:59.399
could get out of hand if there’s too many. But

01:09:59.399 –> 01:10:01.939
it’ll be interesting to hear people share a memory

01:10:01.939 –> 01:10:04.779
about their favorite show or react to the current

01:10:04.779 –> 01:10:09.479
ranking as of that episode or defend. Not all

01:10:09.479 –> 01:10:11.779
entries will be used, but we’ll try and include

01:10:11.779 –> 01:10:14.399
as many as we can. But yeah, you won’t need any

01:10:14.399 –> 01:10:16.460
extra software. It’s built into the website.

01:10:16.539 –> 01:10:21.319
You can record what you’re trying to have. There’s

01:10:21.319 –> 01:10:26.159
drop -downs for the top 100. the subject line

01:10:26.159 –> 01:10:30.359
include your name email if you so choose uh and

01:10:30.359 –> 01:10:32.279
then uh yeah you can record it right there and

01:10:32.279 –> 01:10:34.659
send it right to us and we’ll get it and so yeah

01:10:34.659 –> 01:10:37.020
i’m i’m excited to have that that feature as

01:10:37.020 –> 01:10:40.260
a option this time around yeah one thing that

01:10:40.260 –> 01:10:42.359
i did forget to mention is another thing that

01:10:42.359 –> 01:10:44.220
we typically do with these lists at least i do

01:10:44.220 –> 01:10:47.279
when i do the stats they’ll also give you counts

01:10:47.279 –> 01:10:50.739
of like how many lists shows appeared so as we

01:10:50.739 –> 01:10:53.430
reveal each entry I won’t do it for every single

01:10:53.430 –> 01:10:55.369
one, but for quite a few of them, I’ll let you

01:10:55.369 –> 01:10:57.909
know how many lists out of the 44 they appeared

01:10:57.909 –> 01:11:00.909
on. I will tell you that the fewest list that

01:11:00.909 –> 01:11:04.250
a show appeared on that made the top 100 is 12.

01:11:04.829 –> 01:11:08.069
So it had to appear on at least 12 of the 44

01:11:08.069 –> 01:11:11.909
lists in order to make it. And I will also tell

01:11:11.909 –> 01:11:13.729
you that there is not a single show that appeared

01:11:13.729 –> 01:11:17.689
on all 44 lists. There’s not a single show that

01:11:17.689 –> 01:11:21.170
appeared on 43 of the 44 lists. There’s not a

01:11:21.170 –> 01:11:23.869
single show that appeared on 42, 41 or 40 of

01:11:23.869 –> 01:11:27.310
the list. The highest list count that we’re going

01:11:27.310 –> 01:11:32.409
to get is 38 out of the 44. Wow. So 38 out of

01:11:32.409 –> 01:11:37.409
44 is your top bar. 12 out of 44 is your bottom

01:11:37.409 –> 01:11:40.130
bar. And the last nugget I’m going to leave Mike

01:11:40.130 –> 01:11:42.229
and Steve with before Mike takes over here is

01:11:42.229 –> 01:11:45.930
we are going to start our countdown next time

01:11:45.930 –> 01:11:52.119
with our 100. and our 99 spot being a top. We’ve

01:11:52.119 –> 01:11:54.439
done that a couple times, so I’m ready. Yeah,

01:11:54.439 –> 01:11:58.140
we have! So it’s going to be fun right off the

01:11:58.140 –> 01:12:03.359
get -go next time. It’s even more fun for me

01:12:03.359 –> 01:12:05.819
because I know what the two shows are, and it’s

01:12:05.819 –> 01:12:10.659
perfect. Mm -hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm. Yeah. Curses.

01:12:11.840 –> 01:12:17.100
Curses, curses! Oh, boy. All right, folks. Well,

01:12:17.300 –> 01:12:20.359
