373 Episodes
The numbers have been tallied, the crown has been placed, and the grandest marathon in GCRN history has officially crossed the finish line! To celebrate 15 years of animation excellence, TFG1Mike, Steve Megatron, and OptimusSolo gather for the ultimate post-countdown wrap party. Across 9 historic countdowns spanning a decade and a half, the network has officially published a staggering 171 hours, 0 minutes, and 52 seconds of pure animation audio content—and we are breaking down every single second of it.
In this definitive wrap-up, the crew leaves no stone unturned as we compare the seismic shifts between the original 2011 list and this monumental 2026 edition. OptimusSolo unloads his final block of legendary nerd stats, prompting a heated round-table discussion. We reveal the shows we would personally boot from the countdown, the heartbreakers that just missed the cut in the 110–125 range, and the classics we think were ranked criminally low (or way too high). Plus, we drop a massive bombshell announcement that will change the network forever: The Top 100 Heroes Countdown is officially coming in Summer 2027!
What you’ll get out of this episode:
00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:32.039
It’s time. The countdown begins. Hello and welcome
00:00:32.039 –> 00:00:34.859
to the Geekcast Radio Network’s Top 100 Animated
00:00:34.859 –> 00:00:39.380
Series 15th Anniversary 2026 Edition Rap Party.
00:00:39.500 –> 00:00:42.399
That’s right, folks. We’re rapping dragons over
00:00:42.399 –> 00:00:46.420
here. All the numbers have been counted and recounted
00:00:46.420 –> 00:00:49.359
for you Florida people. And then we revealed
00:00:49.359 –> 00:00:53.079
them. Now we are closing down the Top 100 shop
00:00:53.079 –> 00:00:56.539
until the next time. But first, I’m of course
00:00:56.539 –> 00:01:00.820
TF2 and Mike. Joining me is Steve Megatron. Hello.
00:01:02.240 –> 00:01:10.019
And Optimus Solo. Hello. I had to just copy Steve.
00:01:10.319 –> 00:01:15.060
Yeah. Well, it is late at night. So cleverness
00:01:15.060 –> 00:01:17.859
is usually a daytime thing around here. Sometimes
00:01:17.859 –> 00:01:22.159
we’re all tired and whatever. And, oh, boy, is
00:01:22.159 –> 00:01:25.000
this been a slobber knocker? And I’m glad we’re
00:01:25.000 –> 00:01:27.700
shutting down the top 100 shop until summer of
00:01:27.700 –> 00:01:30.719
2027 at this point. We need to get our energy
00:01:30.719 –> 00:01:35.099
back, folks. Yikes. I feel like a zero at this
00:01:35.099 –> 00:01:39.640
point. No more heroics for us. Oh, boy. We’ve
00:01:39.640 –> 00:01:44.140
done nine top 100 countdowns in 15 years for
00:01:44.140 –> 00:01:48.439
a grand total, estimated grand total at this
00:01:48.439 –> 00:01:51.560
point. This is everything, guys. This is including
00:01:51.560 –> 00:01:55.819
the nominees for the lead up to this and including
00:01:55.819 –> 00:02:06.700
up to… the top 50 to 26 and the estimated total
00:02:06.700 –> 00:02:11.379
recorded and published time of the top 25 episode,
00:02:11.639 –> 00:02:17.099
171 hours, zero minutes and 52 seconds of published
00:02:17.099 –> 00:02:21.960
audio content. That is not including the thousands
00:02:21.960 –> 00:02:26.240
of hours we’ve put into the work of these nine.
00:02:27.319 –> 00:02:32.840
Top 100 countdowns in the last 15 years. Thousands
00:02:32.840 –> 00:02:38.539
of hours of work. I’ll have my my time card later.
00:02:39.520 –> 00:02:42.900
Yeah, I for some reason feel like this is that
00:02:42.900 –> 00:02:45.340
scene from Deadpool versus, you know, Deadpool
00:02:45.340 –> 00:02:48.120
and Wolverine where he says until he’s 90. Uh
00:02:48.120 –> 00:02:52.340
huh. Uh huh. That’s right. Uh huh. But for now,
00:02:52.560 –> 00:02:55.939
we plan and plot. Obviously, we’re never going
00:02:55.939 –> 00:02:59.389
to get caught. So take it away, Optimus Solo,
00:02:59.530 –> 00:03:02.590
and give the people, as well as us, a little
00:03:02.590 –> 00:03:06.409
quote -unquote wrap on the wrap -up of the 2026
00:03:06.409 –> 00:03:08.669
edition, a .k .a. the 15th anniversary version
00:03:08.669 –> 00:03:11.770
of the Geekcast Radio Network’s Top 100 Animated
00:03:11.770 –> 00:03:14.229
Series Countdown. I’m glad this is the last episode.
00:03:14.469 –> 00:03:17.509
I have to say any of that. I was going to say,
00:03:17.550 –> 00:03:18.669
I was hoping that was the last time you were
00:03:18.669 –> 00:03:20.289
going to say that at all. I’m going to spend
00:03:20.289 –> 00:03:24.800
two comments first. I feel like maybe 171 hours
00:03:24.800 –> 00:03:27.000
was spent just on this top 100 countdown, but
00:03:27.000 –> 00:03:30.180
maybe I’m incorrect on that. It just feels that
00:03:30.180 –> 00:03:33.199
way. And also, it’s going to take me 171 hours
00:03:33.199 –> 00:03:35.000
to understand everything you just said and whatever
00:03:35.000 –> 00:03:37.060
you were trying to reference and whatever jokes
00:03:37.060 –> 00:03:39.139
you were trying to make. So I’ll need the cliff
00:03:39.139 –> 00:03:42.479
notes or the like the, you know, when you watch
00:03:42.479 –> 00:03:43.780
a movie and you don’t understand it, you got
00:03:43.780 –> 00:03:45.479
to go to the interwebs and get like somebody
00:03:45.479 –> 00:03:47.120
else to explain it for you. I’m going to need
00:03:47.120 –> 00:03:48.740
someone else to explain that whole intro to me
00:03:48.740 –> 00:03:52.270
later. live in florida how do you not understand
00:03:52.270 –> 00:03:55.349
counted and recounted it’s election that was
00:03:55.349 –> 00:03:58.590
the only one i understood i don’t know what the
00:03:58.590 –> 00:04:00.430
we plan we plot we never get caught i don’t know
00:04:00.430 –> 00:04:03.050
what the rap is i’m old i don’t get these things
00:04:03.050 –> 00:04:06.930
mike i’m old how do you not understand rap are
00:04:06.930 –> 00:04:11.110
you talking about like rap music yes man man
00:04:11.110 –> 00:04:13.580
i thought we were talking about cartoons Oh,
00:04:13.599 –> 00:04:18.279
my God. Anyway, I am your master of the ceremonies
00:04:18.279 –> 00:04:21.220
for tonight. We’re going to now that we’ve done
00:04:21.220 –> 00:04:24.220
all of the work of revealing the 100 through
00:04:24.220 –> 00:04:27.339
one picks. Obviously, when we do that, they tend
00:04:27.339 –> 00:04:30.980
to be a lengthy conversations and records. So
00:04:30.980 –> 00:04:32.779
once we get to our number one, we generally don’t
00:04:32.779 –> 00:04:35.939
have a whole lot of time to dissect it, to react
00:04:35.939 –> 00:04:38.660
to it, to give you our overall thoughts on everything
00:04:38.660 –> 00:04:40.560
that has transpired. So we like to do that in
00:04:40.560 –> 00:04:42.379
a separate episode. That’s why we’re here tonight.
00:04:42.949 –> 00:04:45.629
So we can kind of give you all of the final thoughts,
00:04:45.930 –> 00:04:50.490
questions, concerns, verdicts on what we have
00:04:50.490 –> 00:04:54.149
compiled here as our new version of the top 100
00:04:54.149 –> 00:04:56.269
animated series countdown. So we’re going to
00:04:56.269 –> 00:04:58.470
do that in a number of different ways here. First,
00:04:58.569 –> 00:05:00.589
we’re going to give Steve, Mike and myself each
00:05:00.589 –> 00:05:03.250
a chance to look at the countdown and decide
00:05:03.250 –> 00:05:06.850
if there was any entries that we would personally
00:05:06.850 –> 00:05:11.829
boot out of the top 100 countdown. If we think
00:05:11.829 –> 00:05:14.329
that there’s any that maybe weren’t worthy, we’re
00:05:14.329 –> 00:05:15.889
going to boot those out because we need to make
00:05:15.889 –> 00:05:18.149
space for maybe some shows that were on our personal
00:05:18.149 –> 00:05:20.610
list or just general shows that we thought of
00:05:20.610 –> 00:05:22.370
that we think should have made it. So you can’t
00:05:22.370 –> 00:05:25.230
add stuff to it without taking stuff away. So
00:05:25.230 –> 00:05:27.050
that’s how that’s going to work. And we’re going
00:05:27.050 –> 00:05:29.430
to get into a quick conversation of some things
00:05:29.430 –> 00:05:33.569
we think were overall way too high or way too
00:05:33.569 –> 00:05:36.529
low that got revealed. Then I’m going to reveal
00:05:36.529 –> 00:05:40.360
in the… pre -episode or the the lead up to
00:05:40.360 –> 00:05:43.560
the reveals we talked about the 101 through 110
00:05:43.560 –> 00:05:47.459
we’re going to give you 111 through about 125
00:05:47.459 –> 00:05:49.699
just real quickly just so you kind of know those
00:05:49.699 –> 00:05:51.800
and then if steve or mike have any that were
00:05:51.800 –> 00:05:53.540
on the ballot that they’re curious where they
00:05:53.540 –> 00:05:55.819
landed we’ll let them ask those questions as
00:05:55.819 –> 00:05:59.199
well since as mike has said about 100 times during
00:05:59.199 –> 00:06:03.000
this countdown this is the 15th anniversary edition
00:06:03.000 –> 00:06:05.360
we’re going to look back at that list 15 years
00:06:05.360 –> 00:06:08.220
ago and compare Now that we’ve seen both of them
00:06:08.220 –> 00:06:10.980
fully, what differences there were between the
00:06:10.980 –> 00:06:13.319
two lists and kind of give some thoughts on that.
00:06:13.740 –> 00:06:16.120
I have some final stats as far as what decade
00:06:16.120 –> 00:06:18.199
reigns supreme, what production company, what
00:06:18.199 –> 00:06:20.160
channel, all of those types of things. So we’ll
00:06:20.160 –> 00:06:22.540
go through some of the numbers. And then in the
00:06:22.540 –> 00:06:26.120
wrap of the wrap, with our both spelled WRAP,
00:06:26.139 –> 00:06:29.360
by the way, we will talk about our final thoughts
00:06:29.360 –> 00:06:31.910
overall on the list, what we felt worked. Um,
00:06:32.129 –> 00:06:34.250
and some, I have some prompts for the guys that
00:06:34.250 –> 00:06:36.009
I’m interested, just kind of see there as well
00:06:36.009 –> 00:06:38.649
as my closing thoughts on how I think this was
00:06:38.649 –> 00:06:41.089
either a success or not a success and, and how
00:06:41.089 –> 00:06:44.750
it may shape how we do top 100 list moving forward.
00:06:44.990 –> 00:06:47.329
Uh, Mike, any questions or comments before we
00:06:47.329 –> 00:06:51.310
get started? I think so. Steve, anything we,
00:06:51.310 –> 00:06:53.769
you want to clarify before I get into it? Uh,
00:06:53.870 –> 00:06:56.129
nope. All right. So we’re going to start with
00:06:56.129 –> 00:06:59.199
shows. we’re booting out of the top 100 we just
00:06:59.199 –> 00:07:01.420
revealed them they just got in the top 100 and
00:07:01.420 –> 00:07:02.939
we’re wasting no time and trying to kick them
00:07:02.939 –> 00:07:05.660
right back out so i’m gonna be interested to
00:07:05.660 –> 00:07:07.980
see from the panel if there’s any that you guys
00:07:07.980 –> 00:07:10.860
feel should not be a part of the list i have
00:07:10.860 –> 00:07:15.139
a few that i would probably boot out i think
00:07:15.139 –> 00:07:19.319
maybe about five that i’m going to give the axe
00:07:19.319 –> 00:07:23.310
to which i think coincides nicely because i I
00:07:23.310 –> 00:07:24.790
may be trying to squeeze more and then I’m kicking
00:07:24.790 –> 00:07:26.370
out. So I might have to make some tough decisions,
00:07:26.470 –> 00:07:29.189
but let’s start with Steve. Is there anything
00:07:29.189 –> 00:07:31.290
that we revealed in the top 100 that you felt
00:07:31.290 –> 00:07:34.329
like, not necessarily that it didn’t deserve
00:07:34.329 –> 00:07:37.649
it, but that you thought maybe something else
00:07:37.649 –> 00:07:39.810
deserved it more. So something that you would
00:07:39.810 –> 00:07:42.649
be willing to move outside to make room for something
00:07:42.649 –> 00:07:49.509
else. So I actually had a list of five that I
00:07:49.509 –> 00:07:54.579
would have removed. My list consisted of, in
00:07:54.579 –> 00:07:58.459
no particular order, Rocko’s Modern Life, The
00:07:58.459 –> 00:08:02.379
Legend of Korra, Speed Racer, the Tartakovsky
00:08:02.379 –> 00:08:08.459
Clone Wars, and X -Men 97. Very good. Any that
00:08:08.459 –> 00:08:10.839
you want to highlight as far as ones that you’re
00:08:10.839 –> 00:08:14.480
most passionate about? About removing? Yeah.
00:08:16.939 –> 00:08:19.160
Or do you think they’re all equal footing as
00:08:19.160 –> 00:08:22.439
far as they all are about the same level? Yeah,
00:08:22.480 –> 00:08:26.079
I mean, honestly, like I think Legend of Korra
00:08:26.079 –> 00:08:28.339
would be one of the number ones I would remove
00:08:28.339 –> 00:08:32.240
just because even from my kids standpoint, like
00:08:32.240 –> 00:08:35.240
there’s not a great love for that series from
00:08:35.240 –> 00:08:38.820
what I’ve heard from a lot of people. Not to
00:08:38.820 –> 00:08:43.580
mention. X -Men 97, I would only boot because
00:08:43.580 –> 00:08:46.860
technically it’s a continuation, but it also
00:08:46.860 –> 00:08:50.000
it we’re still waiting on season two at the time
00:08:50.000 –> 00:08:53.379
of this. this countdown uh i know season two
00:08:53.379 –> 00:08:58.980
is coming i first baby yeah uh and then the tartakovsky
00:08:58.980 –> 00:09:00.860
clone wars i would remove just because we got
00:09:00.860 –> 00:09:03.659
a superior one that came later uh so i mean those
00:09:03.659 –> 00:09:06.000
three are kind of like the main one speed racer
00:09:06.000 –> 00:09:09.120
i feel like it’s kind of a i get what it’s going
00:09:09.120 –> 00:09:14.259
for but i don’t i don’t have a deep appreciation
00:09:14.259 –> 00:09:18.039
or love for it i found it kind of more like the
00:09:18.039 –> 00:09:21.019
the show that i would find at night when I was
00:09:21.019 –> 00:09:26.120
younger to go to sleep. And because it was boring
00:09:26.120 –> 00:09:29.200
to me. And then Rocco’s Modern Life. I’m not
00:09:29.200 –> 00:09:33.220
a huge Nickelodeon fan. I did watch it as a kid,
00:09:33.279 –> 00:09:35.960
but I never loved the show. Like I would have
00:09:35.960 –> 00:09:38.259
rather watched like Angry Beavers or something
00:09:38.259 –> 00:09:41.600
else like or, you know, one of those shows rather
00:09:41.600 –> 00:09:46.090
than this. To me, they’re kind of all on equal
00:09:46.090 –> 00:09:49.669
ground. I prefer out of this list X -Men 97.
00:09:50.570 –> 00:09:53.570
If any of the five would have stayed, that would
00:09:53.570 –> 00:09:55.950
have been it just for the sake of I enjoyed it
00:09:55.950 –> 00:09:59.250
overall, but it also has only had one season.
00:09:59.509 –> 00:10:05.570
And so I felt like it kind of got in by proxy
00:10:05.570 –> 00:10:09.529
of the original show, not necessarily based on
00:10:09.529 –> 00:10:12.039
its own merits yet. Yeah, definitely something
00:10:12.039 –> 00:10:14.340
we debated back and forth a little bit heading
00:10:14.340 –> 00:10:17.980
into this. Yeah, for sure. Those five are pretty
00:10:17.980 –> 00:10:20.539
much my kind of staples of what I would have
00:10:20.539 –> 00:10:23.580
removed. Totally get it. Makes perfect sense.
00:10:24.159 –> 00:10:28.179
I think I’m going to let Mike go next on any
00:10:28.179 –> 00:10:30.299
that you would boot out, Mike. Not what you’re
00:10:30.299 –> 00:10:31.740
adding in, just what you’re taking away. Yeah,
00:10:31.740 –> 00:10:34.460
no, I know. I understand. I understand the task.
00:10:35.019 –> 00:10:38.240
I agree with Steve. Like, I don’t understand.
00:10:39.850 –> 00:10:43.529
I understand why we separated them because X
00:10:43.529 –> 00:10:47.169
-Men 97, even though it is a continuation of
00:10:47.169 –> 00:10:51.809
X -Men, the animated series, it was still marketed
00:10:51.809 –> 00:10:57.049
as its own separate thing. It was so far removed
00:10:57.049 –> 00:11:00.809
in time, obviously from when the original series
00:11:00.809 –> 00:11:03.710
was released and everything else and yada, yada,
00:11:03.710 –> 00:11:06.950
yada, but it’s only got one season. How can you
00:11:06.950 –> 00:11:10.110
like we’ve. already talked about this to death
00:11:10.110 –> 00:11:14.429
top 100 series were top 100 list worthy you have
00:11:14.429 –> 00:11:18.470
to have more than what you can’t just be like
00:11:18.470 –> 00:11:22.110
no one’s putting stripperella on here stripperella
00:11:22.110 –> 00:11:26.370
only had one season it was okay wasn’t great
00:11:26.370 –> 00:11:30.509
but you know you know like you can’t just know
00:11:30.509 –> 00:11:34.570
so i would take as much as i enjoy it i would
00:11:34.570 –> 00:11:38.889
take x -men 97 off I would take Beavis and Butthead
00:11:38.889 –> 00:11:41.110
off. I would take Ren and Stimpy off. This is
00:11:41.110 –> 00:11:44.350
just my bias. This is just me. I don’t like those.
00:11:45.049 –> 00:11:47.549
Beavis and Butthead was okay, but it wasn’t my
00:11:47.549 –> 00:11:50.570
style. Ren and Stimpy, I don’t like Ren and Stimpy.
00:11:51.230 –> 00:11:54.549
It’s just, and I’m specifically, the reason why
00:11:54.549 –> 00:11:57.250
I don’t like Ren and Stimpy is when they got
00:11:57.250 –> 00:12:01.519
to the gross humor. The more… actual funny
00:12:01.519 –> 00:12:04.460
part of the humor i’m okay with but when they
00:12:04.460 –> 00:12:07.419
started just doing the gross out humor i don’t
00:12:07.419 –> 00:12:13.059
like that show speed racer i never watched it
00:12:13.059 –> 00:12:16.940
i and the fact that anyone can fall asleep like
00:12:16.940 –> 00:12:20.480
i never watched it when back when when i was
00:12:20.480 –> 00:12:23.940
a kid is what i mean when i was trying to watch
00:12:23.940 –> 00:12:28.870
it to do research for this I don’t know how you
00:12:28.870 –> 00:12:31.809
fell asleep to this, Steve. Like people tell
00:12:31.809 –> 00:12:34.129
me, I don’t know how you fall asleep to forensic
00:12:34.129 –> 00:12:36.730
files. I’m like, listen to Peter Thomas’s voice
00:12:36.730 –> 00:12:39.870
for more than five minutes. You’ll fall asleep
00:12:39.870 –> 00:12:42.210
immediately, even though he’s talking about murder.
00:12:42.570 –> 00:12:45.450
Like just the man’s voice is amazing. But anyway,
00:12:45.610 –> 00:12:50.710
the only other thing that I probably would remove
00:12:50.710 –> 00:13:01.690
that I don’t think belongs on here. There was
00:13:01.690 –> 00:13:07.990
one that was too high that I thought was too
00:13:07.990 –> 00:13:20.200
high. No, I think that’s it. i think it’s just
00:13:20.200 –> 00:13:23.039
those i’m i’m re -looking through because well
00:13:23.039 –> 00:13:25.000
because as we were doing the countdown i was
00:13:25.000 –> 00:13:27.600
i i have the whole countdown list here so as
00:13:27.600 –> 00:13:29.539
we were doing it i was writing them all down
00:13:29.539 –> 00:13:31.779
so i’m looking through it and i’m like no okay
00:13:31.779 –> 00:13:33.940
well that’s it all i got what do you got kev
00:13:33.940 –> 00:13:36.059
well so when i was looking at mine it was uh
00:13:36.059 –> 00:13:39.120
as far as which ones remove i’m trying to balance
00:13:39.120 –> 00:13:40.539
a little bit like some of it’s going to be biased
00:13:40.539 –> 00:13:42.820
as far as which ones i want to put in but when
00:13:42.820 –> 00:13:45.929
it when it’s Trying to decide what to remove
00:13:45.929 –> 00:13:47.850
and what to put in. I’m trying to think of what
00:13:47.850 –> 00:13:50.190
makes it more of a consensus list and what makes
00:13:50.190 –> 00:13:52.830
it a better list overall. Trying to remove as
00:13:52.830 –> 00:13:55.210
much as I can of some of my personal biases.
00:13:55.450 –> 00:14:00.370
But there is a couple changes that I would make.
00:14:00.450 –> 00:14:02.669
Now, I’m a little bit more extensive because
00:14:02.669 –> 00:14:04.330
I’m like that, I guess. But I have 10, but I’ll
00:14:04.330 –> 00:14:05.850
go through them fairly quickly because some of
00:14:05.850 –> 00:14:08.190
them have already been mentioned. So I would
00:14:08.190 –> 00:14:11.789
also delete Legend of Korra, like you guys said.
00:14:12.360 –> 00:14:14.200
I would probably delete Rocco’s Modern Life,
00:14:14.299 –> 00:14:16.759
like you guys said, and Star Wars, the Clone
00:14:16.759 –> 00:14:19.679
Wars, the Tartagoski one, just because it’s not
00:14:19.679 –> 00:14:21.259
my style. And I think we already have Rebels
00:14:21.259 –> 00:14:23.460
and we already have the Clone Wars. So I feel
00:14:23.460 –> 00:14:26.279
like the Star Wars is well represented, as is
00:14:26.279 –> 00:14:28.960
with a couple entries in the top 100. There’s
00:14:28.960 –> 00:14:31.360
a few others that I would kind of ping along
00:14:31.360 –> 00:14:35.879
that same line here. I think just like we had
00:14:35.879 –> 00:14:39.480
enough Star Wars, and I know personally, I would
00:14:39.480 –> 00:14:42.259
probably have these on my own list. because i’m
00:14:42.259 –> 00:14:44.600
a huge transformers fan but i think we have g1
00:14:44.600 –> 00:14:49.100
and we have beast wars i may squeeze out beast
00:14:49.100 –> 00:14:53.860
machines and transformers prime just to add a
00:14:53.860 –> 00:14:57.100
little diversity into some that i feel like we’re
00:14:57.100 –> 00:14:59.860
missing so i’m gonna it’ll make more sense when
00:14:59.860 –> 00:15:01.820
i go to the ones i’m gonna add but i think out
00:15:01.820 –> 00:15:04.059
of reboots and spinoffs and stuff like that we
00:15:04.059 –> 00:15:05.980
could remove a couple of the transformers ones
00:15:05.980 –> 00:15:07.960
and get a couple different spinoff reboots in
00:15:07.960 –> 00:15:10.909
that i’ll highlight in a second I also think
00:15:10.909 –> 00:15:13.029
there’s a couple classic shows that we were missing
00:15:13.029 –> 00:15:17.389
that I would substitute in for the likes of Underdog.
00:15:17.649 –> 00:15:19.590
And I know, Mike, you like the show and I do
00:15:19.590 –> 00:15:21.649
too, but I would actually take Wacky Races and
00:15:21.649 –> 00:15:25.409
Underdog out. And I have a couple other classic
00:15:25.409 –> 00:15:28.590
shows that I think are more worthy of those two.
00:15:28.990 –> 00:15:31.750
So I would change that as well. And then I’m
00:15:31.750 –> 00:15:36.389
kind of on the fence between Invader Zim, Recess,
00:15:36.450 –> 00:15:40.649
and the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. I’m still
00:15:40.649 –> 00:15:42.950
debating on those three, but those are ones that
00:15:42.950 –> 00:15:45.470
I would have to do some thought and really think
00:15:45.470 –> 00:15:47.250
of those compared to some of these ones that
00:15:47.250 –> 00:15:49.950
I’m trying to squeeze in. So transitioning somewhat
00:15:49.950 –> 00:15:52.590
because it fits this conversation into what I
00:15:52.590 –> 00:15:54.909
would squeeze in. So I talked about the classics
00:15:54.909 –> 00:15:59.049
and taking underdog and wacky races out. And
00:15:59.049 –> 00:16:01.289
I know this is more the historian in me and more
00:16:01.289 –> 00:16:04.009
kind of the old school person in me, but I would
00:16:04.009 –> 00:16:06.169
like Mighty Mouse to be involved somewhere in
00:16:06.169 –> 00:16:10.580
the top 100. For me, some form of Mighty Mouse,
00:16:10.659 –> 00:16:12.519
whether it might be Mighty Mouse Playhouse or
00:16:12.519 –> 00:16:15.059
something like that, I would think would be able
00:16:15.059 –> 00:16:18.480
to take one of those spots. And then I think
00:16:18.480 –> 00:16:20.399
another one that I would put in that would both
00:16:20.399 –> 00:16:24.279
be a classic and also speak to another thing
00:16:24.279 –> 00:16:26.320
that maybe was a little underrepresented in our
00:16:26.320 –> 00:16:30.500
list would be Astro Boy. So I feel like the combination
00:16:30.500 –> 00:16:34.000
of Speed Racer and Astro Boy and a couple of
00:16:34.000 –> 00:16:38.379
those classic anime shows could do well. When
00:16:38.379 –> 00:16:40.519
it comes to the spin -offs and things of that
00:16:40.519 –> 00:16:42.919
nature, reboots, the reason I would take Transformers
00:16:42.919 –> 00:16:45.679
Prime and Beast Machines out, even though originally
00:16:45.679 –> 00:16:48.399
I enjoyed Beast Machines more than any other
00:16:48.399 –> 00:16:50.440
Transformers series outside of G1 for a long
00:16:50.440 –> 00:16:54.580
time. Beast Wars has surpassed that in future
00:16:54.580 –> 00:16:57.940
viewings. But I would take those out and I would
00:16:57.940 –> 00:17:01.580
actually make room for a couple other reboots
00:17:01.580 –> 00:17:05.000
that I think deserve it. So I have four that
00:17:05.000 –> 00:17:08.789
I think deserve. some attention and that would
00:17:08.789 –> 00:17:12.369
be scooby -doo mystery inc which we talked about
00:17:12.369 –> 00:17:15.130
a little bit when we did the the reveal of the
00:17:15.130 –> 00:17:16.890
regular original scooby -doo i think mystery
00:17:16.890 –> 00:17:18.589
inc is worthy of being in the in the conversation
00:17:18.589 –> 00:17:23.809
i would consider the 2003 turtles uh series to
00:17:23.809 –> 00:17:26.190
to be put in there there’s you could also go
00:17:26.190 –> 00:17:27.710
with you know one of the future ones as well
00:17:27.710 –> 00:17:30.730
but i think 2003 turtles is a good good one there
00:17:30.730 –> 00:17:32.769
i know it got cut short but i would at least
00:17:32.769 –> 00:17:35.329
like to talk about masters of the universe 2002
00:17:36.269 –> 00:17:38.589
he made 2002 i think that’s that’s worthy and
00:17:38.589 –> 00:17:40.430
then one that i’m surprised didn’t make it i
00:17:40.430 –> 00:17:42.549
guess it just didn’t have enough love from our
00:17:42.549 –> 00:17:45.990
specific group of 44 folks but i have a feeling
00:17:45.990 –> 00:17:49.609
if we had a different group maybe it would i’m
00:17:49.609 –> 00:17:51.690
surprised my little pony friendship as magic
00:17:51.690 –> 00:17:54.569
didn’t at least crack it now i know there’s different
00:17:54.569 –> 00:17:56.890
feelings or opinions about the show but i don’t
00:17:56.890 –> 00:18:00.339
think anyone can deny how much of a impact it
00:18:00.339 –> 00:18:03.440
had for a specific part of the culture and like
00:18:03.440 –> 00:18:09.140
there was a show that was more popular than it
00:18:09.140 –> 00:18:12.420
during its time and it has produced a lot of
00:18:12.420 –> 00:18:14.319
spinoffs and things of that nature as well so
00:18:14.319 –> 00:18:16.319
i would try to make room for that as far as a
00:18:16.319 –> 00:18:18.579
couple other ones i think from an anime standpoint
00:18:18.579 –> 00:18:23.519
we could probably add in uh neon genesis evangelion
00:18:23.519 –> 00:18:27.609
i think that was perhaps a miss It just missed
00:18:27.609 –> 00:18:30.130
it, though, right? Yeah, it just missed it. It
00:18:30.130 –> 00:18:33.210
was 107. And then the other one that I think
00:18:33.210 –> 00:18:36.609
would serve another portion of the anime fandom
00:18:36.609 –> 00:18:39.150
population would be some representation from
00:18:39.150 –> 00:18:42.190
a Mobile Suit Gundam or something of that nature.
00:18:42.250 –> 00:18:45.910
I think that could be worthy. The only other
00:18:45.910 –> 00:18:51.069
one I had on my list was Bojack Horseman, which
00:18:51.069 –> 00:18:52.730
just missed it. I feel like that probably was
00:18:52.730 –> 00:18:54.690
deserving of being in there. It landed at the
00:18:54.690 –> 00:18:57.460
104th spot. And then I will agree with Dan from
00:18:57.460 –> 00:19:00.180
last week. I would probably make way for Bluey
00:19:00.180 –> 00:19:02.859
to be in there somewhere, which was 105. So I
00:19:02.859 –> 00:19:04.319
know a couple of those just missed with Bojack
00:19:04.319 –> 00:19:07.819
Horseman, Bluey, and Evangelion. But I think
00:19:07.819 –> 00:19:12.839
when I compare those to like, I don’t know, Invader
00:19:12.839 –> 00:19:15.200
Zim or Rocko’s Modern Life or The Legend of Korra
00:19:15.200 –> 00:19:17.839
or Underdog, like I feel like they’re probably
00:19:17.839 –> 00:19:21.400
a little bit more worthy. What about you, Mike?
00:19:21.460 –> 00:19:23.460
We’ll go in reverse order. So anything that you
00:19:23.460 –> 00:19:27.920
would add in that didn’t make it? Well, now that
00:19:27.920 –> 00:19:32.059
you’re saying all this, I would put He -Man 2002.
00:19:33.740 –> 00:19:43.740
I would put Turtles 2003. I would actually put
00:19:43.740 –> 00:19:46.259
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, because like
00:19:46.259 –> 00:19:52.380
you’re saying, not only for the fact of the giant…
00:19:52.890 –> 00:19:56.950
fandom that it had it was a really good show
00:19:56.950 –> 00:20:01.269
it really really like i watched like maybe half
00:20:01.269 –> 00:20:06.470
of the first season and just was really really
00:20:06.470 –> 00:20:12.390
good i’m trying to think oh for the for me when
00:20:12.390 –> 00:20:16.910
it comes to anime there’s one show and really
00:20:16.910 –> 00:20:20.130
there’s only one show that i’ve ever fully gotten
00:20:20.130 –> 00:20:24.190
into That’s Yu -Gi -Oh! Dual Monsters. It’s the
00:20:24.190 –> 00:20:28.009
one with Yugi and Kaiba and Joey and Blue Eyes
00:20:28.009 –> 00:20:30.769
White Dragon and Red Eyes Black Dragon. It’s
00:20:30.769 –> 00:20:34.809
the famous one from 2000 with the cards and Grandpa
00:20:34.809 –> 00:20:36.910
and this and that and the other thing and everything
00:20:36.910 –> 00:20:41.529
else. I would put that in as my anime choice.
00:20:42.450 –> 00:20:47.349
Anything else that you would add in? Steve, anything
00:20:47.349 –> 00:20:54.500
you’re putting in that missed? So. It’s funny
00:20:54.500 –> 00:20:59.259
because I have like more than what. Than what,
00:20:59.319 –> 00:21:07.519
you know, we have. Yeah. There were. And I agree
00:21:07.519 –> 00:21:09.880
with like Mario and, you know, some of those
00:21:09.880 –> 00:21:12.720
other ones removing them in favor of others.
00:21:13.960 –> 00:21:17.460
Some that like a couple that were in the last.
00:21:18.200 –> 00:21:21.880
Top 100 like Slaughter Deathmatch, Mighty Max,
00:21:22.259 –> 00:21:28.299
Pirates of Dark Water, Hong Kong Fui didn’t make
00:21:28.299 –> 00:21:31.440
this one. So some of these like I do think the
00:21:31.440 –> 00:21:34.440
2003 Turtles definitely should have made it Neon
00:21:34.440 –> 00:21:38.200
Genesis or at least definitely Mobile Suit Gundam
00:21:38.200 –> 00:21:43.019
of some force just because. It kind of lived
00:21:43.019 –> 00:21:48.480
in tandem with Dragon Ball Z on Toonami. Because
00:21:48.480 –> 00:21:51.940
I remember Peter Cullen doing the announcement
00:21:51.940 –> 00:21:58.099
for it. I would almost argue like Naruto or Inuyasha
00:21:58.099 –> 00:22:02.759
being on there. Because again, those were ones
00:22:02.759 –> 00:22:05.680
that were kind of played in the Konami run as
00:22:05.680 –> 00:22:10.660
well. And those have pretty decent followings.
00:22:13.160 –> 00:22:19.549
I think for… a difference of shows star trek
00:22:19.549 –> 00:22:23.549
lower decks yes could have been in there because
00:22:23.549 –> 00:22:26.190
it was star trek it stayed true to the canon
00:22:26.190 –> 00:22:28.549
but it also was a comedy and it was kind of like
00:22:28.549 –> 00:22:31.690
if you like and this is this is what i’ve heard
00:22:31.690 –> 00:22:34.130
from people is if you like rick and morty you’ll
00:22:34.130 –> 00:22:38.470
like lower decks because there’s a very similar
00:22:38.470 –> 00:22:42.640
like humor to it right in animation style I’m
00:22:42.640 –> 00:22:45.259
not like the biggest fan of the animation, but
00:22:45.259 –> 00:22:47.940
at the same time, I was able to overlook it because
00:22:47.940 –> 00:22:53.960
the story was interesting. And so. Plus, it’s
00:22:53.960 –> 00:22:58.299
Star Trek, so I was going to tune in. So, I mean,
00:22:58.319 –> 00:23:01.880
I think those shows I would definitely have in
00:23:01.880 –> 00:23:05.059
there. Some I’m kind of on the fence about, like
00:23:05.059 –> 00:23:10.509
a celebrity death match or. like hong kong phooey
00:23:10.509 –> 00:23:12.309
or pup named scooby -doo or things like that
00:23:12.309 –> 00:23:17.089
just because while i remember them more recent
00:23:17.089 –> 00:23:18.910
generations aren’t going to have a clue and there’s
00:23:18.910 –> 00:23:21.710
been no continuation or revival or reboot or
00:23:21.710 –> 00:23:26.390
anything to keep that title going so right i
00:23:26.390 –> 00:23:28.670
think the the few that i did mention though would
00:23:28.670 –> 00:23:32.309
would kind of fit still with replacing what i
00:23:32.309 –> 00:23:34.890
mentioned yeah i don’t necessarily specifically
00:23:34.890 –> 00:23:38.109
what pup named scooby -doo i don’t think necessarily
00:23:38.109 –> 00:23:41.549
there needs to be something to keep that going
00:23:41.549 –> 00:23:45.430
i think that was specifically a series of its
00:23:45.430 –> 00:23:48.869
time like if you want to do that again for a
00:23:48.869 –> 00:23:54.670
new generation that is not that style like not
00:23:54.670 –> 00:23:57.109
that and like if you want to do that like a new
00:23:57.109 –> 00:24:00.130
version of that that’s fine but i don’t think
00:24:00.130 –> 00:24:03.650
they’re gonna do a continuation of that x number
00:24:03.650 –> 00:24:08.099
of decades later like Oh God, we’re almost coming.
00:24:08.259 –> 00:24:10.920
Oh God, we’re two years away from the 40th anniversary
00:24:10.920 –> 00:24:15.759
of the show. Oh God, I’m so old. Oh God. So when
00:24:15.759 –> 00:24:18.240
it comes to things that we would rank lower or
00:24:18.240 –> 00:24:19.839
higher, I don’t know how you guys did this. The
00:24:19.839 –> 00:24:21.859
way I kind of looked at it was just the top 50
00:24:21.859 –> 00:24:24.599
versus bottom 50 and ones I would kind of make
00:24:24.599 –> 00:24:26.660
a move. Mostly that’s kind of how I looked at
00:24:26.660 –> 00:24:29.259
it. So I’ll start us off with this one. There
00:24:29.259 –> 00:24:32.039
was only two shows in the top 50 that I didn’t
00:24:32.039 –> 00:24:35.920
vote on specifically on my list. So I was. happy
00:24:35.920 –> 00:24:37.700
with you know all of them showing up and one
00:24:37.700 –> 00:24:39.200
of them was just a technicality i didn’t vote
00:24:39.200 –> 00:24:41.640
for justice league unlimited because i just voted
00:24:41.640 –> 00:24:44.180
for justice league instead um and then the only
00:24:44.180 –> 00:24:45.880
other one that i didn’t vote for was the tick
00:24:45.880 –> 00:24:48.640
so everything else in the top 50 i voted on but
00:24:48.640 –> 00:24:51.680
as far as just because i voted on doesn’t mean
00:24:51.680 –> 00:24:53.660
i would have the same top 50 so there’s some
00:24:53.660 –> 00:24:55.920
that i definitely would put in the top 50 that
00:24:55.920 –> 00:24:58.960
didn’t quite make it um so i’m going to go over
00:24:58.960 –> 00:25:00.720
those real quick first the ones that i think
00:25:00.720 –> 00:25:03.180
should have been a little bit higher and there’s
00:25:03.180 –> 00:25:06.339
going to be a theme here with my historic classic
00:25:06.339 –> 00:25:10.160
cartoon love so i guess you can prepare for that
00:25:10.160 –> 00:25:15.500
but there’s a there’s a quartet of shows that
00:25:15.500 –> 00:25:17.099
i would put in the top 50 that didn’t make it
00:25:17.099 –> 00:25:19.759
from the classic era so that would be the the
00:25:19.759 –> 00:25:22.740
woody woodpecker show the pink panther show the
00:25:22.740 –> 00:25:25.039
huckleberry hound show and popeye the sailor
00:25:25.039 –> 00:25:27.519
i would i would probably make a case for all
00:25:27.519 –> 00:25:29.480
four of those to be in the top 50 just from an
00:25:29.480 –> 00:25:33.819
important standpoint um they ended up at 60 72
00:25:33.819 –> 00:25:39.079
73 and 76 so almost all in the top 75 but i would
00:25:39.079 –> 00:25:41.160
make a case for those to be higher as far as
00:25:41.160 –> 00:25:44.119
other ones outside of that from a personal bias
00:25:44.119 –> 00:25:46.700
i guess i would have loved to see danger mouse
00:25:46.700 –> 00:25:51.500
crack the top 75 it landed at 93 so i would i
00:25:51.500 –> 00:25:53.740
would love to see that i thought dj made a pretty
00:25:53.740 –> 00:25:55.839
good case for robot chicken maybe being a little
00:25:55.839 –> 00:26:00.049
bit higher and then the only other one the only
00:26:00.049 –> 00:26:03.869
other two that i had that were well one on one
00:26:03.869 –> 00:26:05.269
on this side of 50 and one on the other star
00:26:05.269 –> 00:26:07.809
wars the clone wars at 52 i think that’s probably
00:26:07.809 –> 00:26:11.890
a top 50 worthy cartoon and then i could see
00:26:11.890 –> 00:26:14.089
even though i have never watched a single episode
00:26:14.089 –> 00:26:18.349
of it just from the reach that it has had and
00:26:18.349 –> 00:26:20.470
the staying power i could see a lot of people
00:26:20.470 –> 00:26:22.589
making the argument for spongebob being higher
00:26:22.589 –> 00:26:26.109
than 42 being maybe somewhere in the top 30 top
00:26:26.109 –> 00:26:29.019
25 and things like that and then Even though
00:26:29.019 –> 00:26:31.880
they were 34 and 35, I would make a case for
00:26:31.880 –> 00:26:33.680
the Tom and Jerry show and the Yogi Bear show
00:26:33.680 –> 00:26:36.200
to both be a little bit higher as well. So a
00:26:36.200 –> 00:26:38.519
lot of classic love that I’m trying to show out,
00:26:38.579 –> 00:26:41.180
I guess, for those. But go to you, Steve. Next,
00:26:41.299 –> 00:26:43.119
anything that you felt like, you know, that we
00:26:43.119 –> 00:26:44.839
talked about maybe in those first two episodes
00:26:44.839 –> 00:26:46.619
that you were hoping would have stuck around
00:26:46.619 –> 00:26:50.519
until the final two episodes. So in the first
00:26:50.519 –> 00:27:05.240
two. I felt like a lot of them. I wasn’t decided
00:27:05.240 –> 00:27:08.759
in either direction on some of them. However,
00:27:09.599 –> 00:27:12.019
that being said, I feel like Dragon Ball probably
00:27:12.019 –> 00:27:13.640
should have gotten a little bit higher just because
00:27:13.640 –> 00:27:15.480
I know Dragon Ball Z put everything into the
00:27:15.480 –> 00:27:17.779
mainstream, but Dragon Ball kind of lit the fire
00:27:17.779 –> 00:27:19.819
that everything else kind of copied from there.
00:27:21.099 –> 00:27:28.680
I would almost argue… I would have liked to
00:27:28.680 –> 00:27:30.559
have seen like Freakazoid a little bit higher
00:27:30.559 –> 00:27:37.539
or, you know, Robot Chicken, Beast Machines.
00:27:39.859 –> 00:27:42.279
I’m not like the biggest fan of like Pokemon
00:27:42.279 –> 00:27:45.900
nowadays, but I could see that being a little
00:27:45.900 –> 00:27:47.900
bit higher just because it’s the longevity of
00:27:47.900 –> 00:27:55.039
it. There’s a number of other shows I probably
00:27:55.039 –> 00:27:58.799
would have moved. a lot farther down the list.
00:28:00.559 –> 00:28:04.059
Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, but I mean, as far as
00:28:04.059 –> 00:28:07.900
the first, the first 50, like that’s, that’s
00:28:07.900 –> 00:28:11.079
kind of the shows I would pick. Okay. Any in
00:28:11.079 –> 00:28:13.539
that second group of 50 that did make it to the
00:28:13.539 –> 00:28:15.059
top 50, but you would have preferred that they
00:28:15.059 –> 00:28:18.000
were closer to, you know, maybe the top 20, top
00:28:18.000 –> 00:28:22.890
15, top 25, something like that. out of any of
00:28:22.890 –> 00:28:25.190
the numbers or just yeah just anything you know
00:28:25.190 –> 00:28:26.549
maybe it was something that was like I don’t
00:28:26.549 –> 00:28:28.910
know 26 through 50 in that third episode that
00:28:28.910 –> 00:28:30.549
you would have preferred to be in the last episode
00:28:30.549 –> 00:28:32.569
or something along those lines that you just
00:28:32.569 –> 00:28:35.349
thought was more top 10 top 20 worthy that didn’t
00:28:35.349 –> 00:28:40.470
quite make it I would argue I would almost argue
00:28:40.470 –> 00:28:42.470
like Phineas and Ferb should have been in there
00:28:42.470 –> 00:28:51.420
Spongebob just because the longevity of it I
00:28:51.420 –> 00:29:00.339
would argue like Batman Beyond. Yeah, I would
00:29:00.339 –> 00:29:02.680
have argued probably Superman, the animated series.
00:29:04.720 –> 00:29:07.720
I could see it. This landing with some people,
00:29:07.759 –> 00:29:14.519
maybe not me personally, but like Rugrats. Girls
00:29:14.519 –> 00:29:18.319
like I could see those landing. But yeah, I think
00:29:18.319 –> 00:29:20.579
that would be it as far as me for that. block
00:29:20.579 –> 00:29:24.119
between 25 and 50. Okay. Mike, what about you?
00:29:24.140 –> 00:29:25.799
Anything that you would like to slide up closer
00:29:25.799 –> 00:29:28.079
to the top half of the countdown or into the
00:29:28.079 –> 00:29:32.319
top 10, 20? Yeah. So there’s basically two shows
00:29:32.319 –> 00:29:36.440
from the bottom 50 that I want to be in, in the
00:29:36.440 –> 00:29:40.180
top 50, if not the top 25. And basically I’ve
00:29:40.180 –> 00:29:42.559
picked two numbers where I think they should
00:29:42.559 –> 00:29:45.700
go and where the shows that are in those current
00:29:45.700 –> 00:29:48.059
numbers that they should move to the other slots.
00:29:48.960 –> 00:29:52.660
So Ren and Stimpy gets kicked to 81, and Jem
00:29:52.660 –> 00:29:57.740
goes in the 36 slot. Okay. And Family Guy gets
00:29:57.740 –> 00:30:02.259
kicked to 65, and Kim Possible gets put in the
00:30:02.259 –> 00:30:10.000
32 slot. Jem is more of a… We’ve already talked
00:30:10.000 –> 00:30:15.059
about Jem. It was the 80s girl. I feel it’s not
00:30:15.059 –> 00:30:17.619
just a girls cartoon. It’s for everybody, boys
00:30:17.619 –> 00:30:20.980
and girls. But it was basically, hey, look, we
00:30:20.980 –> 00:30:24.640
can do anything. We’re the superstars. But it
00:30:24.640 –> 00:30:27.759
wasn’t just that. It was just really for anything.
00:30:27.900 –> 00:30:30.039
Same thing with Kim Possible. Her whole thing.
00:30:30.559 –> 00:30:34.579
I’m Kim Possible. I can do anything. And then
00:30:34.579 –> 00:30:36.960
on the flip side of that, her buddy Ron Stoppable,
00:30:37.039 –> 00:30:39.859
voiced by Will Friedle, a .k .a. Batman Beyond.
00:30:40.019 –> 00:30:45.440
I’m Ron Stoppable. I can’t do anything. I just
00:30:45.440 –> 00:30:50.460
can’t do anything. I love this show. This show’s
00:30:50.460 –> 00:30:55.839
amazing. It’s so fun. It’s so good. It’s just
00:30:55.839 –> 00:31:00.339
awesome. I feel like those two. entries should
00:31:00.339 –> 00:31:03.099
have been much much higher even though they’re
00:31:03.099 –> 00:31:09.500
not uh as far as other things like yeah i would
00:31:09.500 –> 00:31:12.720
have liked to see things higher batman beyond
00:31:12.720 –> 00:31:18.319
going from 16 in 2011 to 27 it kind of hurt but
00:31:18.319 –> 00:31:22.279
at least it’s still in the top half at least
00:31:22.279 –> 00:31:26.420
it’s it’s still in the top 50 if it had dropped
00:31:26.420 –> 00:31:30.519
any lower i might have had my batman beyond blood
00:31:30.519 –> 00:31:34.160
boiling a little bit more than what it was but
00:31:34.160 –> 00:31:38.960
again it’s an amazing show it is what it is i
00:31:38.960 –> 00:31:42.380
really can’t complain with what we’ve put together
00:31:42.380 –> 00:31:47.980
for the most part and what you know we’re always
00:31:47.980 –> 00:31:51.000
gonna have things that we want to see higher
00:31:52.079 –> 00:31:55.759
or lower or things move around or whatever phineas
00:31:55.759 –> 00:31:59.319
and ferb would i love to have seen it not be
00:31:59.319 –> 00:32:05.259
38 and maybe be 21 or or whatever and hey at
00:32:05.259 –> 00:32:07.420
least it made the countdown at least it wasn’t
00:32:07.420 –> 00:32:10.599
104 and didn’t make the countdown because you
00:32:10.599 –> 00:32:15.210
know 104 days of summer But it is what it is.
00:32:15.349 –> 00:32:18.069
I do have to put it on the record that I just
00:32:18.069 –> 00:32:20.710
so everyone’s clear. This is Optimus Solo speaking,
00:32:20.829 –> 00:32:24.170
and I do not support the hate for Ren and Stimpy
00:32:24.170 –> 00:32:26.509
or the Family Guy. So direct that message to
00:32:26.509 –> 00:32:31.970
TFG. I do not generally hate Family Guy. However,
00:32:34.650 –> 00:32:40.509
as I said, I don’t mind when Ren and Stimpy has.
00:32:41.529 –> 00:32:45.930
decent humor but i’m sorry i do not laugh at
00:32:45.930 –> 00:32:49.289
grossed out humor i puke at grossed out humor
00:32:49.289 –> 00:32:53.009
sorry that’s that’s just the way it is that show
00:32:53.009 –> 00:32:55.150
just making it clear to the listeners who to
00:32:55.150 –> 00:32:58.289
direct what opinions at towards you know as far
00:32:58.289 –> 00:33:00.650
as some some ones that i thought maybe were were
00:33:00.650 –> 00:33:03.109
too high i don’t have a lot i only really highlighted
00:33:03.109 –> 00:33:05.789
two on my kind of run through here i thought
00:33:05.789 –> 00:33:11.500
that rescue rangers at 15 was a little high for
00:33:11.500 –> 00:33:18.779
me i do like the new rangers is it was 100 or
00:33:18.779 –> 00:33:21.880
60 yeah uh 16 excuse me it lost the tie break
00:33:21.880 –> 00:33:25.019
um whatever it was tied with picking the brain
00:33:25.019 –> 00:33:27.380
uh before the record and i don’t i didn’t update
00:33:27.380 –> 00:33:30.680
my numbers after that rescue rangers just being
00:33:30.680 –> 00:33:33.279
in the top 20 to me i’d love the disney afternoon
00:33:33.279 –> 00:33:35.039
i probably wouldn’t have put it in the top 20
00:33:35.039 –> 00:33:37.119
so i would probably have moved that outside of
00:33:37.119 –> 00:33:40.319
the top 25 to make room for something else. And
00:33:40.319 –> 00:33:42.559
I’m a fan of Voltron, but I probably wouldn’t
00:33:42.559 –> 00:33:45.299
have put Voltron in the top 50. I just think
00:33:45.299 –> 00:33:47.259
there’s a couple other shows that I would have
00:33:47.259 –> 00:33:49.799
rather slid into the top 50, like the Clone Wars
00:33:49.799 –> 00:33:53.779
or one of those classics like Popeye or something
00:33:53.779 –> 00:33:56.359
of that nature instead. But those are about the
00:33:56.359 –> 00:33:58.779
only two I highlighted. Steve, anything that
00:33:58.779 –> 00:34:01.920
you would have lowered and then, and or anything,
00:34:02.180 –> 00:34:03.619
well, let’s start with that. Anything you would
00:34:03.619 –> 00:34:08.760
have lowered in the countdown? So lowering, I
00:34:08.760 –> 00:34:13.659
would have lowered Ren and Stimpy, Ghostbusters,
00:34:13.980 –> 00:34:17.400
Muppet Babies, Teen Titans, Gravity Falls, Adventure
00:34:17.400 –> 00:34:22.980
Time, Smurfs, and Thundercats. Everything he
00:34:22.980 –> 00:34:26.800
said except Thundercats. Which leads me to another
00:34:26.800 –> 00:34:29.159
question, and Steve can continue on some of his
00:34:29.159 –> 00:34:30.579
thoughts with those shows too, but I was also
00:34:30.579 –> 00:34:34.639
curious what some of your biggest surprise moments…
00:34:34.989 –> 00:34:39.369
in the countdown were so for me the fact that
00:34:39.369 –> 00:34:43.130
one of my overall biggest surprises was gi joe
00:34:43.130 –> 00:34:46.050
at number 28 and i bring that up because you
00:34:46.050 –> 00:34:49.250
said thundercats and i would have never put and
00:34:49.250 –> 00:34:50.869
i would have never thought thundercats would
00:34:50.869 –> 00:34:53.269
have beat out gi joe this time around yeah having
00:34:53.269 –> 00:34:55.849
gi joe at 28 and thundercats at 26 was probably
00:34:55.849 –> 00:34:58.670
for me one of the biggest surprises any steve
00:34:58.670 –> 00:34:59.789
i’ll let you comment on the ones you would have
00:34:59.789 –> 00:35:01.489
moved a little bit more or anything else that
00:35:01.489 –> 00:35:06.489
you were surprised by Honestly, I was super surprised
00:35:06.489 –> 00:35:14.630
that Thundercats beat out G .I. Joe, Inspector
00:35:14.630 –> 00:35:20.409
Gadget, Jetsons, and Batman Beyond. I would have
00:35:20.409 –> 00:35:28.130
put it in the 40s. I would not have… 40s or
00:35:28.130 –> 00:35:33.630
50s. Or at the very least, 50. I don’t think
00:35:33.630 –> 00:35:39.679
that it… has the longevity or the care that
00:35:39.679 –> 00:35:42.619
the rest of the shows do that actually preceded
00:35:42.619 –> 00:35:46.599
it and so i would have i would have moved that
00:35:46.599 –> 00:35:50.039
that one was kind of shocking to me uh i was
00:35:50.039 –> 00:35:54.980
shocked mostly about gi joe yeah um in that regard
00:35:54.980 –> 00:35:58.500
uh i was i was also kind of shocked that you
00:35:58.500 –> 00:36:01.019
know spongebob went where it went and although
00:36:01.019 –> 00:36:03.380
it kind of landed right where it did last time
00:36:05.039 –> 00:36:09.579
But seeing some of the flip -flops of numbers,
00:36:10.500 –> 00:36:16.099
Family Guy dropped, Beast Wars actually went
00:36:16.099 –> 00:36:19.019
up, which I was fearful it was going to drop
00:36:19.019 –> 00:36:22.300
farther. What do you think Family Guy dropped?
00:36:22.900 –> 00:36:29.360
It was 21st. I thought it was at 100 last time.
00:36:29.579 –> 00:36:35.010
You voted for it at 100. It was 21. Damn, your
00:36:35.010 –> 00:36:37.449
hate couldn’t overpower the panel last time.
00:36:37.769 –> 00:36:42.369
God damn it. Yeah, I mean, I was surprised that
00:36:42.369 –> 00:36:44.730
Dragon Ball even made it on the list. I was surprised
00:36:44.730 –> 00:36:52.469
that Dragon Ball Z went up 14. And there was
00:36:52.469 –> 00:36:54.750
a lot of numbers that did a lot of flip -flopping,
00:36:54.869 –> 00:36:56.949
and I was quite surprised the ones that did.
00:36:57.070 –> 00:37:00.889
And then, of course, I was ecstatic when certain
00:37:00.889 –> 00:37:06.119
ones didn’t. such as our number one, number two,
00:37:06.119 –> 00:37:10.079
and number five, that essentially stayed exactly
00:37:10.079 –> 00:37:14.199
where they were. Speaking of which, you talked
00:37:14.199 –> 00:37:15.639
about some movement. I’m going to give you real
00:37:15.639 –> 00:37:18.579
quick the shows that increased their standing
00:37:18.579 –> 00:37:22.159
20 spots or more. These are shows that increased
00:37:22.159 –> 00:37:25.079
where they landed by at least 20 spots. So we
00:37:25.079 –> 00:37:30.320
had Huckleberry Hound did that. We had Powerpuff
00:37:30.320 –> 00:37:37.900
Girls, Cowboy… bebop phineas and ferb and king
00:37:37.900 –> 00:37:41.019
of the hill and avatar those were the ones that
00:37:41.019 –> 00:37:44.980
climbed the most and uh oh and i’m sorry teen
00:37:44.980 –> 00:37:48.239
titans and daria uh if i didn’t mention those
00:37:48.239 –> 00:37:51.340
daria was the biggest climber of the entire group
00:37:51.340 –> 00:37:56.199
going up 61 spots and then teen titans 58 spots
00:37:56.199 –> 00:37:58.579
powerpuff girls 54 spots so those were like the
00:37:58.579 –> 00:38:01.579
huge movers everything else was closer to 20.
00:38:02.159 –> 00:38:05.300
And then as far as like the biggest drops, we
00:38:05.300 –> 00:38:09.940
had Star Wars Clone Wars dropped 31 spots. Super
00:38:09.940 –> 00:38:13.400
Friends dropped 52. Alvin and the Chipmunks surprisingly
00:38:13.400 –> 00:38:19.420
dropped 46. Beavis and Butthead dropped 31. And
00:38:19.420 –> 00:38:22.639
I think those are the only ones over 30. So there
00:38:22.639 –> 00:38:26.179
was definitely some big movers one way or the
00:38:26.179 –> 00:38:28.880
other. Mike, any other big surprises for you?
00:38:30.780 –> 00:38:34.599
No. not really all right well let’s get into
00:38:34.599 –> 00:38:38.219
uh another part here where we talk a little bit
00:38:38.219 –> 00:38:40.739
about some other picks that we haven’t revealed
00:38:40.739 –> 00:38:45.199
yet so like we said we talked about the 101 through
00:38:45.199 –> 00:38:51.039
110 that we revealed in the pre show and then
00:38:51.039 –> 00:38:53.260
i figured it’d be fun to take a quick look at
00:38:53.260 –> 00:38:55.760
111 through 125 i’ll go through these fairly
00:38:55.760 –> 00:38:58.079
quickly since there’s 15 of them or whatever
00:38:58.079 –> 00:38:59.340
we’re talking about which i think is fitting
00:38:59.340 –> 00:39:02.320
15 years 15 more picks that will reveal i guess
00:39:02.320 –> 00:39:06.260
so like we talked about with 101 through 110
00:39:06.260 –> 00:39:08.420
that was georgia the jungle magic school bus
00:39:08.420 –> 00:39:11.320
young justice bojack horseman bluey captain n
00:39:11.320 –> 00:39:14.300
and genesis evangelion winnie the pooh american
00:39:14.300 –> 00:39:16.199
dad and a pup named scooby -doo those are those
00:39:16.199 –> 00:39:18.199
we had already revealed if we pick up after that
00:39:18.199 –> 00:39:20.960
with 111 we would have transformers animated
00:39:20.960 –> 00:39:25.130
at number 111 We would have had Star Trek The
00:39:25.130 –> 00:39:28.530
Animated Series at 112. This is where we would
00:39:28.530 –> 00:39:30.789
have gotten the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
00:39:30.849 –> 00:39:36.469
Selection at 113. Doug at 114. Gumby Show at
00:39:36.469 –> 00:39:40.630
115. The Boondocks at 116. Sonic the Hedgehog
00:39:40.630 –> 00:39:45.449
at 117. Goof Troop 118. Harley Quinn 119. Star
00:39:45.449 –> 00:39:49.309
Trek Lower Decks 120. Quick Draw McGraw 121.
00:39:49.690 –> 00:39:55.750
2012 Turtles at 122. Hey Arnold, 123. My Little
00:39:55.750 –> 00:39:59.550
Pony Friendship is Magic, 124. And the 2017 DuckTales
00:39:59.550 –> 00:40:05.050
at 125. Mike, any thoughts about those 15 that
00:40:05.050 –> 00:40:09.449
came close but didn’t quite make it? Damn, TFA
00:40:09.449 –> 00:40:15.130
got in at 111. Was that close to having five
00:40:15.130 –> 00:40:18.579
Transformers series in our countdown? That’s
00:40:18.579 –> 00:40:22.300
not that close. That’s 11 spots off of getting
00:40:22.300 –> 00:40:27.179
in. It was like 90 points away. Oh, God. You
00:40:27.179 –> 00:40:30.599
failed us, Mike Seibert and Michael Andrews.
00:40:30.739 –> 00:40:33.679
Two Mikes, two Furious. You failed us, people.
00:40:35.039 –> 00:40:37.480
It’s interesting the amount of reboot love that
00:40:37.480 –> 00:40:39.099
came in there. We had Transformers animated,
00:40:39.360 –> 00:40:43.940
2003 Turtles. We had the 2012 Turtles, My Little
00:40:43.940 –> 00:40:45.739
Pony, Friendship and Magic, and DuckTales, the
00:40:45.739 –> 00:40:49.000
reboots. Those were all within 25 spots of making
00:40:49.000 –> 00:40:51.739
it. Mike or Steve, any other thoughts on those
00:40:51.739 –> 00:40:57.719
15? What was 121 through 123 again? 121 was Quick
00:40:57.719 –> 00:41:01.480
Draw McGraw, 122 was the 2012 Turtles, and 123
00:41:01.480 –> 00:41:08.000
was Hey Arnold. The good old football head. So
00:41:08.000 –> 00:41:10.139
interestingly, from a 90s standpoint, we would
00:41:10.139 –> 00:41:13.139
have only added A few, Doug, Sonic, Goof Troop,
00:41:13.139 –> 00:41:16.139
and Hey Arnold. From the more modern, we would
00:41:16.139 –> 00:41:17.699
have gotten quite a few. Harley Quinn, Lower
00:41:17.699 –> 00:41:21.099
Decks, 2012 Turtles, Friendship is Magic, and
00:41:21.099 –> 00:41:27.139
the 2017 DuckTales. No additions in that section
00:41:27.139 –> 00:41:30.000
from the 80s. There would have been no additional
00:41:30.000 –> 00:41:33.980
80s shows in there. And then we would have gotten,
00:41:34.039 –> 00:41:37.519
from an older school standpoint, Star Trek, Gumby,
00:41:37.679 –> 00:41:41.559
and Quick Draw McGraw. It’s kind of funny because
00:41:41.559 –> 00:41:48.940
out of this 111 through 125, I would have probably
00:41:48.940 –> 00:41:53.079
put Transformers animated. Star Trek, the animated
00:41:53.079 –> 00:41:58.300
series was not very good. I would not have. I
00:41:58.300 –> 00:42:03.039
would not have been for that. TMNT 2003, like
00:42:03.039 –> 00:42:07.630
100 % would have been for that. Yep. I know there’s
00:42:07.630 –> 00:42:10.469
a following for Boondocks. Sonic the Hedgehog,
00:42:10.510 –> 00:42:12.230
of course, like I would have voted for that.
00:42:13.170 –> 00:42:16.789
I think I did vote for that. Harley Quinn, I
00:42:16.789 –> 00:42:18.730
know there’s a following and there are some humorous
00:42:18.730 –> 00:42:20.789
aspects. Still haven’t seen that all the way,
00:42:20.849 –> 00:42:22.869
but I’ve seen enough episodes to know that it’s
00:42:22.869 –> 00:42:26.670
pretty good. Quick Draws, good. Lower Decks,
00:42:26.769 –> 00:42:30.530
I would have voted for because I did. 2012 TMNT
00:42:30.530 –> 00:42:33.809
was really good. Had a nice crossover at the
00:42:33.809 –> 00:42:37.130
87 Turtles. Hey Arnold had a good following.
00:42:37.389 –> 00:42:40.550
My Little Pony had a good following instead of
00:42:40.550 –> 00:42:43.429
the DuckTales. I think these are all solid contenders
00:42:43.429 –> 00:42:47.389
to get into the list. And they just lost out
00:42:47.389 –> 00:42:49.969
to other shows that had more notoriety and popularity
00:42:49.969 –> 00:42:57.429
from our panel of 44. Yeah, it was interesting.
00:42:57.530 –> 00:43:00.289
There was no 80s in that section. It would have
00:43:00.289 –> 00:43:02.969
actually taken us down to 131 to get to our next
00:43:02.969 –> 00:43:04.929
80s. There’s only actually three other 80 shows
00:43:04.929 –> 00:43:06.710
in the top 140. That would have been Dungeons
00:43:06.710 –> 00:43:09.590
and Dragons, Heathcliff, and She -Ra would have
00:43:09.590 –> 00:43:11.769
been three that were in the top 140. But otherwise,
00:43:11.869 –> 00:43:17.130
they had no representation from 111 to 130. So
00:43:17.130 –> 00:43:19.929
interesting from there. As far as shows that
00:43:19.929 –> 00:43:23.570
were on our nominees ballots or the 50 shows
00:43:23.570 –> 00:43:25.889
from each decade, is there any that you guys
00:43:25.889 –> 00:43:27.530
or stuff that you had on your list that you’re
00:43:27.530 –> 00:43:30.769
curious as far as where they came in that we
00:43:30.769 –> 00:43:36.159
haven’t revealed so far? Steve, anything that
00:43:36.159 –> 00:43:40.500
you’re curious about where it fell? I would say,
00:43:40.639 –> 00:43:48.099
where did the Masters of the Universe 2000X show?
00:43:48.679 –> 00:43:55.500
That would have been 149. So, 104, well, it was
00:43:55.500 –> 00:43:58.659
tied with, it was tied, 147, 148, and 149 were
00:43:58.659 –> 00:44:01.119
all tied. That was Arthur, Fat Albert, and the
00:44:01.119 –> 00:44:04.039
2002 He -Man series were all tied right around
00:44:04.039 –> 00:44:12.170
that. 149 spot. Interesting. What about… I
00:44:12.170 –> 00:44:13.849
know you were a fan of Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball
00:44:13.849 –> 00:44:20.269
Super would have been 145. Been in the top 150.
00:44:24.789 –> 00:44:30.250
What was What If at? What If? Marvel What If.
00:44:34.860 –> 00:44:36.860
Well, everything got votes except for four. The
00:44:36.860 –> 00:44:40.420
four shows we revealed in the pre. What if would
00:44:40.420 –> 00:44:50.119
have been 139? 39. Mighty Max? Mighty Max. Let’s
00:44:50.119 –> 00:44:56.340
see where that one fell. Perusing Mighty Max
00:44:56.340 –> 00:44:59.760
would have fallen all the way down to 198. Wow.
00:44:59.760 –> 00:45:05.610
Damn. Mega Man? Mega Man was 197 right before
00:45:05.610 –> 00:45:15.610
Mighty Max. Okay. Swatcats? I just saw that one
00:45:15.610 –> 00:45:20.230
a little bit ago. Where was that one? Apologize
00:45:20.230 –> 00:45:27.730
for my scrolling. Swatcats, 164. Hmm. Nice. Interesting.
00:45:29.389 –> 00:45:32.510
I had a few others that I voted on that I was
00:45:32.510 –> 00:45:36.829
curious about. What about the cybernetic space
00:45:36.829 –> 00:45:41.170
cube transformers generation two? That was not
00:45:41.170 –> 00:45:44.250
an option. I know, I know. That’s the point.
00:45:46.309 –> 00:45:52.010
Lord have mercy. It’s so obscure, it’s not even
00:45:52.010 –> 00:45:55.289
a contender. The only shows that received…
00:45:55.289 –> 00:46:00.570
Let’s see. The only shows that were on only one
00:46:00.570 –> 00:46:02.909
list. So only one person voted for these shows.
00:46:03.070 –> 00:46:04.809
So outside of the four that didn’t get any votes,
00:46:04.929 –> 00:46:06.650
these would have been the next ones that only
00:46:06.650 –> 00:46:09.710
received one vote. And that would have been C
00:46:09.710 –> 00:46:12.230
-Lab 2020, The Backyardigans, We Bare Bears,
00:46:12.650 –> 00:46:14.789
New Adventures of Flash Gordon, Big Hero 6, the
00:46:14.789 –> 00:46:17.780
series. banana splits adventure hour marvel spider
00:46:17.780 –> 00:46:20.460
-man harlem globetrotters wild kratts those were
00:46:20.460 –> 00:46:23.039
the ones that were only on one list interesting
00:46:23.039 –> 00:46:26.780
i know wild kratts was on my sons there we go
00:46:26.780 –> 00:46:31.480
i thought about voting for it for sure um another
00:46:31.480 –> 00:46:33.179
interesting thing we can do that i didn’t uh
00:46:33.179 –> 00:46:36.599
forgot to put in the script here but everybody’s
00:46:36.599 –> 00:46:39.179
number one so we did reveal that three people’s
00:46:39.179 –> 00:46:42.260
number one did not make the countdown so uh going
00:46:42.260 –> 00:46:46.570
through that here obviously we had The top, the
00:46:46.570 –> 00:46:49.050
most number one entries was actually Looney Tunes.
00:46:49.090 –> 00:46:51.449
Looney Tunes made it on nine people’s number
00:46:51.449 –> 00:46:53.429
one list, even though it wasn’t our number one
00:46:53.429 –> 00:46:55.849
overall or our number two overall. It did have
00:46:55.849 –> 00:46:59.050
the most times on the number one list. That was
00:46:59.050 –> 00:47:00.869
followed by Batman, the animated series, which
00:47:00.869 –> 00:47:04.650
was on eight people’s number ones. Then the next
00:47:04.650 –> 00:47:06.949
highest would be three appearances on a number
00:47:06.949 –> 00:47:08.650
one list, which would have been Gargoyles and
00:47:08.650 –> 00:47:11.409
Avatar, the last Airbender. Those both appeared
00:47:11.409 –> 00:47:14.500
on three. As far as ones that appeared on two,
00:47:14.579 –> 00:47:18.019
that would have been the 1980s DuckTales, Transformers,
00:47:18.039 –> 00:47:21.960
the Flintstones, Turtles, and Rocky and Bullwinkle.
00:47:22.019 –> 00:47:24.179
Those all made two appearances on people’s number
00:47:24.179 –> 00:47:26.440
ones. And then for the ones that were only on
00:47:26.440 –> 00:47:28.599
one, that would be The Simpsons, which came in
00:47:28.599 –> 00:47:30.179
number two, but it was only on one person’s number
00:47:30.179 –> 00:47:35.539
one. The Animaniacs, South Park, He -Man, Batman
00:47:35.539 –> 00:47:41.019
Beyond, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Reboot. sailor
00:47:41.019 –> 00:47:44.719
moon and then the ones that didn’t make the top
00:47:44.719 –> 00:47:48.239
100 which would have been bojack horseman then
00:47:48.239 –> 00:47:51.139
we got to go down to 148 somebody did have fat
00:47:51.139 –> 00:47:53.239
albert and the cosby kids as their number one
00:47:53.239 –> 00:47:57.360
and then we got to go all the way down to what
00:47:57.360 –> 00:48:02.059
would have came in at 199 visionaries knights
00:48:02.059 –> 00:48:05.280
of the magical light was one person’s number
00:48:05.280 –> 00:48:10.070
one overall and i will uh i will maybe reveal
00:48:10.070 –> 00:48:11.690
that that might have been the person that wrote
00:48:11.690 –> 00:48:17.050
the show so point dilly definitely had visionaries
00:48:17.050 –> 00:48:20.630
as his number one oh i mean you know you know
00:48:20.630 –> 00:48:23.530
if you write the show it’s your number one show
00:48:23.530 –> 00:48:25.969
i mean even some love to it i understand why
00:48:25.969 –> 00:48:29.969
so um that was definitely some interesting things
00:48:29.969 –> 00:48:32.769
to see some of some of their their picks um to
00:48:32.769 –> 00:48:34.809
go over some of the i guess the celebrities that
00:48:34.809 –> 00:48:38.309
we had involved or the historians, voice actors,
00:48:38.489 –> 00:48:42.090
writers, et cetera, what their number ones were.
00:48:42.289 –> 00:48:44.070
So Flint Dilley had Visionary as number one.
00:48:44.170 –> 00:48:47.190
Buzz Dixon had Rocky and Bullwinkle. Tom Ruger,
00:48:47.329 –> 00:48:49.909
no surprise here, he had Animaniacs as his number
00:48:49.909 –> 00:48:54.550
one. We had Keith Scott had Looney Tunes. Greg
00:48:54.550 –> 00:48:57.969
Airbar had the Flintstones. And Jerry Beck had
00:48:57.969 –> 00:49:01.510
Rocky and Bullwinkle. So those were some of those.
00:49:02.090 –> 00:49:05.389
uh votes as far as number ones from from those
00:49:05.389 –> 00:49:09.809
folks so let’s do a little comparison contrast
00:49:09.809 –> 00:49:14.710
from 15 years ago to today so i’m going to give
00:49:14.710 –> 00:49:17.289
you a set of shows and i’m going to go through
00:49:17.289 –> 00:49:19.730
them fairly try to do it fairly quickly there
00:49:19.730 –> 00:49:23.409
was 27 shows that switched so we had 27 that
00:49:23.409 –> 00:49:26.579
exited the countdown 27 that entered I’m going
00:49:26.579 –> 00:49:28.579
to give you that block and see what you guys
00:49:28.579 –> 00:49:30.980
think is the block that we ended up with better
00:49:30.980 –> 00:49:35.280
than the block we kicked out. So here’s the 27
00:49:35.280 –> 00:49:38.300
new shows to the countdown. We have Justice League
00:49:38.300 –> 00:49:42.840
Unlimited, Teen Titans, Daria, Archer, Schoolhouse
00:49:42.840 –> 00:49:45.579
Rock, The Venture Brothers, Bob’s Burgers, Rick
00:49:45.579 –> 00:49:48.280
and Morty, Gravity Falls, Kim Possible, Star
00:49:48.280 –> 00:49:50.599
Wars Rebels, Adventure Time, Beast Machines,
00:49:50.619 –> 00:49:53.800
Robot Chicken. Underdog, Invincible, The Legend
00:49:53.800 –> 00:49:56.679

00:49:56.780 –> 00:50:00.019
X -Men 97, Dragon Ball, Transformers Prime, Invader
00:50:00.019 –> 00:50:03.559
Zim, Speed Racer, Hopcat, and Full Metal Alchemist.
00:50:03.599 –> 00:50:07.039
Those were all new to the countdown. As far as
00:50:07.039 –> 00:50:12.679
the ones that left, Mask, the 2002 He -Man, the
00:50:12.679 –> 00:50:16.659
2003 Turtles, She -Ra, Silver Hawks, Bravestar,
00:50:16.880 –> 00:50:20.010
Johnny Bravo, Doug, Death Note, Spider -Man and
00:50:20.010 –> 00:50:22.829
His Amazing Friends, Captain N, Aladdin, Care
00:50:22.829 –> 00:50:25.670
Bears, The Original Spider -Man, Mighty Max,
00:50:25.829 –> 00:50:29.369
Static Shock, Arthur, Cops, Harvey Birdman, Where
00:50:29.369 –> 00:50:31.369
on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, Mobile Suit Gundam,
00:50:31.449 –> 00:50:33.510
Fat Albert, Captain Planet, Hong Kong Phooey,
00:50:33.570 –> 00:50:36.289
Swat Cats, Magic School Bus, and Neon Genesis
00:50:36.289 –> 00:50:39.550
Evangelion. Just when you hear those two groups,
00:50:39.789 –> 00:50:42.750
Mike, do you feel like the 25 that we put in
00:50:42.750 –> 00:50:45.889
this time outweigh the 25 that we took out? Thanks
00:50:45.889 –> 00:50:49.019
and match. No, can’t mix and match. If you had
00:50:49.019 –> 00:50:53.539
to take one set of 25 or the other, do you think
00:50:53.539 –> 00:50:57.239
we ended up with a better one? I don’t know.
00:50:57.239 –> 00:51:00.840
That’s why I asked. Can we mix and match? Because
00:51:00.840 –> 00:51:04.039
some of the ones from the other group are better
00:51:04.039 –> 00:51:06.420
than some of the ones from the group we ended
00:51:06.420 –> 00:51:10.199
up with. I would argue it’s subjective just based
00:51:10.199 –> 00:51:12.119
on opinion and what you grew up with because
00:51:12.119 –> 00:51:16.039
there’s a lot of the shows that… made it in
00:51:16.039 –> 00:51:19.840
this time that would have been introduced either
00:51:19.840 –> 00:51:25.900
just before or during the time span of the last
00:51:25.900 –> 00:51:29.300
top 100 yeah so that would be like yeah we had
00:51:29.300 –> 00:51:31.420
justice league archer bob’s burgers rick and
00:51:31.420 –> 00:51:33.619
morty’s gravity falls star wars rebels adventure
00:51:33.619 –> 00:51:36.480
time invincible legend of korra x -men 97 and
00:51:36.480 –> 00:51:37.940
transformers prime wouldn’t have been eligible
00:51:37.940 –> 00:51:45.110
yeah so i mean I feel like the original list
00:51:45.110 –> 00:51:49.789
of the ones that didn’t make the list, I mean,
00:51:49.789 –> 00:51:53.170
obviously, I wish I could mix and match between
00:51:53.170 –> 00:51:55.409
the two because there’s ones that made this list
00:51:55.409 –> 00:51:59.530
that I was like, eh. But if I had to choose between
00:51:59.530 –> 00:52:01.989
those two, like the ones that left and the ones
00:52:01.989 –> 00:52:04.010
that entered, I would go with the ones that entered
00:52:04.010 –> 00:52:08.110
because we got a much more diverse group of shows.
00:52:08.250 –> 00:52:12.940
We got things that have… More or less resonated
00:52:12.940 –> 00:52:16.659
with the public are not forgotten. A lot of the
00:52:16.659 –> 00:52:20.500
shows that were that were in the last block from
00:52:20.500 –> 00:52:25.500
15 years ago were either even recent as the 90s
00:52:25.500 –> 00:52:28.619
or some of them are from, you know, 60s on up.
00:52:28.659 –> 00:52:32.769
And. I feel like because there’s been so many
00:52:32.769 –> 00:52:35.750
new iterations and the scarcity of seeing those
00:52:35.750 –> 00:52:37.769
shows now because, I mean, we don’t have Saturday
00:52:37.769 –> 00:52:39.690
morning cartoons. We don’t have Cartoon Network
00:52:39.690 –> 00:52:42.510
on cable. We don’t have, you know, all of these
00:52:42.510 –> 00:52:44.550
things that we had back then that introduced
00:52:44.550 –> 00:52:48.489
us to a wider variety of content. Plus, we didn’t
00:52:48.489 –> 00:52:52.710
have streaming and YouTube where, well, yes,
00:52:52.769 –> 00:52:55.570
you can find them. The likelihood of someone
00:52:55.570 –> 00:52:57.630
clicking on them unless they grew up with it
00:52:57.630 –> 00:53:02.269
is very slim. And yeah, I feel like any of the
00:53:02.269 –> 00:53:04.250
things that made the list this time as opposed
00:53:04.250 –> 00:53:07.909
to last time, that would that would be why that
00:53:07.909 –> 00:53:11.869
they were seen is because they had a more broad
00:53:11.869 –> 00:53:16.510
marketing appeal to the more recent generations.
00:53:16.610 –> 00:53:19.289
And so I feel like those have stuck around a
00:53:19.289 –> 00:53:21.349
little bit better. I think you can make an argument
00:53:21.349 –> 00:53:23.409
for the He -Man reboot, the Turtles reboot. I
00:53:23.409 –> 00:53:25.130
think you can make an argument for Mobile Suit
00:53:25.130 –> 00:53:28.030
Gundam and Genesis Evangelion. I think those
00:53:28.030 –> 00:53:29.429
are maybe the ones that you might want to put
00:53:29.429 –> 00:53:33.349
in. Maybe Doug. But when you think about the
00:53:33.349 –> 00:53:36.690
list that replaced it with stuff like Star Wars
00:53:36.690 –> 00:53:43.159
Rebels and Daria and… For me, Archer or, you
00:53:43.159 –> 00:53:45.800
know, we added a few other like the original
00:53:45.800 –> 00:53:48.659
Dragon Ball and Robot Chicken and the Venture
00:53:48.659 –> 00:53:50.059
Brothers. Like, I feel like there’s some heavy
00:53:50.059 –> 00:53:51.659
hitters that we added. I know one group that
00:53:51.659 –> 00:53:54.159
definitely took a beating in the 15 years, and
00:53:54.159 –> 00:53:57.340
that was 80s action cartoons. So we probably
00:53:57.340 –> 00:53:59.440
had a little bit more biases toward those 15
00:53:59.440 –> 00:54:01.840
years ago. But when you’re looking at the fact
00:54:01.840 –> 00:54:03.300
that when we’re talking about the countdown,
00:54:03.519 –> 00:54:06.579
you know, G .I. Joe fell to number 28 and. You
00:54:06.579 –> 00:54:07.960
know, we talked about some of that, but then
00:54:07.960 –> 00:54:09.420
you look at the ones that didn’t make it. So
00:54:09.420 –> 00:54:12.820
we have Mask that didn’t make it, She -Ra, Silverhawks,
00:54:12.860 –> 00:54:20.380
Bravestar, Captain N, Care Bears, Cops. All of
00:54:20.380 –> 00:54:23.099
those fell to the wayside. So there was definitely
00:54:23.099 –> 00:54:27.320
a swinging of the pendulum back away from some
00:54:27.320 –> 00:54:32.000
of these 80s action. And I don’t necessarily
00:54:32.000 –> 00:54:34.000
think it’s wrong. Like, yes, a bunch of those
00:54:34.000 –> 00:54:36.320
are ones that hold a special heart from a special
00:54:36.320 –> 00:54:39.500
spot in my heart. But I do think we’ve kind of
00:54:39.500 –> 00:54:40.980
landed on some of the best of the best that made
00:54:40.980 –> 00:54:42.639
it right. Like we got our turtles, we got our
00:54:42.639 –> 00:54:44.699
transformers, we got our He -Man, our Thundercats,
00:54:44.699 –> 00:54:47.860
our G .I. Joe. And then some of the non -action
00:54:47.860 –> 00:54:51.039
ones when you go to like Muppet Babies and Inspector
00:54:51.039 –> 00:54:55.320
Gadget and Alvin and the Chipmunks, like some
00:54:55.320 –> 00:54:58.260
of those like that kind of stuck around. I’m
00:54:58.260 –> 00:55:00.579
not surprised to see some of the likes of Mask
00:55:00.579 –> 00:55:04.900
and Cops and Silverhawks and Bravestar not make
00:55:04.900 –> 00:55:09.380
it this time around. Mike, any thoughts on the
00:55:09.380 –> 00:55:13.659
two lists comparatively? Yeah, I mean, they’re
00:55:13.659 –> 00:55:16.519
just very, very different. And again, like you
00:55:16.519 –> 00:55:19.119
guys have said, it shows the difference in the
00:55:19.119 –> 00:55:23.780
time span since we started this 15 years ago
00:55:23.780 –> 00:55:28.199
and just how the times have changed. I mean,
00:55:28.219 –> 00:55:30.360
like we were talking earlier about what we would
00:55:30.360 –> 00:55:34.920
take off and what we would add in. Honestly,
00:55:35.099 –> 00:55:39.840
I would probably replace Brendan Stimpy with
00:55:39.840 –> 00:55:44.820
mask, you know, like, no, it’s not, not for me,
00:55:44.880 –> 00:55:53.300
not for me personally. Just saying that some
00:55:53.300 –> 00:55:54.780
of the ones that missed it didn’t miss it by
00:55:54.780 –> 00:55:58.170
that much either. The Turtles would have been
00:55:58.170 –> 00:56:01.369
113, Doug would have been 114, Captain N 106,
00:56:01.789 –> 00:56:04.989
we have Magic School Bus 102, Evangelion 107,
00:56:05.110 –> 00:56:06.889
so even though they didn’t make the countdown,
00:56:07.110 –> 00:56:10.469
they didn’t necessarily fall that far. The ones
00:56:10.469 –> 00:56:14.769
that fell far, Bravestar would have been 221st,
00:56:14.769 –> 00:56:16.449
and Spider -Man, the original, would have been
00:56:16.449 –> 00:56:19.070
231st. Those would have fallen quite significantly.
00:56:19.789 –> 00:56:22.250
um other than that but spider -man the original
00:56:22.250 –> 00:56:24.750
what year are you talking about i don’t i don’t
00:56:24.750 –> 00:56:26.130
have all that listed there were so many spider
00:56:26.130 –> 00:56:28.989
-mans uh yeah so the one we have on here the
00:56:28.989 –> 00:56:31.389
one we have on here spider -man 94 that’s the
00:56:31.389 –> 00:56:33.809
one that counts well we have two we have that
00:56:33.809 –> 00:56:36.789
one and we have the uh spectacular spider -man
00:56:36.789 –> 00:56:40.710
whereas last time we had last time we had the
00:56:40.710 –> 00:56:42.329
original spider -man and spider -man and his
00:56:42.329 –> 00:56:44.690
amazing friends so we had a much heavier spider
00:56:44.690 –> 00:56:50.059
-man last time than we did this time. But Spider
00:56:50.059 –> 00:56:51.260
-Man and his Amazing Friends would have fallen
00:56:51.260 –> 00:56:55.400
to 173, Mighty Max 198, Pops 170, Carmen San
00:56:55.400 –> 00:57:00.239
Diego 171. So those would have been not as close.
00:57:00.320 –> 00:57:02.179
But we did have quite a few that were pretty
00:57:02.179 –> 00:57:04.739
close to making it. And we had some that just
00:57:04.739 –> 00:57:06.119
missed last time that made it this time. Teen
00:57:06.119 –> 00:57:08.840
Titans last time was 104, Dario was 107, Schoolhouse
00:57:08.840 –> 00:57:11.519
Rock was tied for 100, Impossible 110, Beast
00:57:11.519 –> 00:57:14.239
Machines 106. So all of those were able to just
00:57:14.239 –> 00:57:18.199
get enough to kind of bump into the top 100 this
00:57:18.199 –> 00:57:20.400
time around. And another thing we did is we kind
00:57:20.400 –> 00:57:22.199
of looked through the list and had those revealed
00:57:22.199 –> 00:57:24.079
as we did talk some stats and things like that
00:57:24.079 –> 00:57:26.159
as far as decades and channels and production
00:57:26.159 –> 00:57:29.000
companies. So the final stats on that went as
00:57:29.000 –> 00:57:33.719
follows. It was interesting to see, especially
00:57:33.719 –> 00:57:38.900
how it progressed over the time. So we had the
00:57:38.900 –> 00:57:44.179
2010 to present. It had 10, I believe it was
00:57:44.179 –> 00:57:46.940
10 shows total. All of those were in the first
00:57:46.940 –> 00:57:51.400
two episodes. So if they were appeared in the
00:57:51.400 –> 00:57:54.260
last 15 years, they weren’t going to crack the
00:57:54.260 –> 00:57:56.980
top 50. They didn’t have enough time to do that,
00:57:57.019 –> 00:57:59.139
but we did have 10 of them that made it onto
00:57:59.139 –> 00:58:03.300
the countdown. Then the 2000s was next with 16
00:58:03.300 –> 00:58:05.599
entries. They were spread out pretty evenly.
00:58:05.619 –> 00:58:09.130
We had five in the first episode, four. and the
00:58:09.130 –> 00:58:11.210
second, four, and the third, and three, and the
00:58:11.210 –> 00:58:13.610
last one. So the 2000s were kind of just divvied
00:58:13.610 –> 00:58:17.469
up equally amongst the group. 90s, we only had
00:58:17.469 –> 00:58:19.670
three of them in the first episode. Then we had
00:58:19.670 –> 00:58:22.030
nine in the second, and then 11 in both the third
00:58:22.030 –> 00:58:23.510
and the fourth. So they’re going to reign supreme
00:58:23.510 –> 00:58:28.110
with 34 entries total. 80s was also an interesting
00:58:28.110 –> 00:58:29.969
one. Eight in the first episode, only one in
00:58:29.969 –> 00:58:31.789
the second, and then seven in the final two.
00:58:31.849 –> 00:58:35.429
So they had 22. And then the classics. kind of
00:58:35.429 –> 00:58:38.309
evenly spread out five six three and four so
00:58:38.309 –> 00:58:41.449
there was 18 of those so 90s reign supreme with
00:58:41.449 –> 00:58:44.670
34 then the 80s with 22 then the old classics
00:58:44.670 –> 00:58:47.909
with 18 then the 2000s with 16 and then the last
00:58:47.909 –> 00:58:50.909
15 years with 10 steve any surprises or did that
00:58:50.909 –> 00:58:54.710
go kind of how you expected i mean kind of how
00:58:54.710 –> 00:58:59.190
i expected yeah it’s yeah i was surprised that
00:58:59.190 –> 00:59:00.889
the 90s had an episode where they only had three
00:59:00.889 –> 00:59:02.269
and the 80s had an episode where they only had
00:59:02.269 –> 00:59:04.190
one just how they’re kind of broken down in the
00:59:04.190 –> 00:59:07.150
rankings but uh they did obviously reign supreme
00:59:07.150 –> 00:59:09.530
but 80s only four more shows in the 80s than
00:59:09.530 –> 00:59:13.010
there was in the classics so it was a little
00:59:13.010 –> 00:59:14.889
closer than than we had last time that’s for
00:59:14.889 –> 00:59:19.010
sure and then i know yeah that’s different well
00:59:19.010 –> 00:59:23.110
i think the difference is we’re getting closer
00:59:23.110 –> 00:59:26.989
to where and no disrespect to the 80s obviously
00:59:26.989 –> 00:59:30.409
i’m an 80s kid but The difference is we’re getting
00:59:30.409 –> 00:59:35.250
to the point where the 90s is. Obviously, it’s
00:59:35.250 –> 00:59:39.550
30 years away from where we are now, but it’s
00:59:39.550 –> 00:59:41.670
going to get closer to the point where it’s 40
00:59:41.670 –> 00:59:45.449
years away and the 80s is going to be 50 years
00:59:45.449 –> 00:59:49.090
away kind of thing. So when the 90s gets to the
00:59:49.090 –> 00:59:52.239
point of hitting that 40th anniversary. it’s
00:59:52.239 –> 00:59:57.159
going to hit nineties kids like Steve, like a
00:59:57.159 –> 01:00:01.079
ton of bricks, a lot more. It’s kind of like
01:00:01.079 –> 01:00:03.840
when the eighties got to the 40th anniversary
01:00:03.840 –> 01:00:09.760
of stuff, like right now in 2026, we’re celebrating
01:00:09.760 –> 01:00:12.539
the 40th anniversary of transformers, the movie,
01:00:12.579 –> 01:00:15.079
and it’s all, it’s hitting all of us like a ton
01:00:15.079 –> 01:00:18.900
of bricks kind of thing. So I think that’s why
01:00:18.900 –> 01:00:24.219
this time around. the 90s reigned supreme and
01:00:24.219 –> 01:00:27.760
again like we’ve mentioned this whole time in
01:00:27.760 –> 01:00:29.880
the countdown episodes in the nominee episodes
01:00:29.880 –> 01:00:35.719
we had 44 people versus last time where we only
01:00:35.719 –> 01:00:40.579
had 20 21 whatever it was i think it was 20 so
01:00:40.579 –> 01:00:45.639
we had double the people this time doing so i
01:00:45.639 –> 01:00:47.260
think one thing that we’ve found out through
01:00:47.260 –> 01:00:50.969
this countdown is that at least that I think
01:00:50.969 –> 01:00:53.250
reveals in the numbers is that 15 years ago,
01:00:53.289 –> 01:00:55.010
the classics were already kind of cemented as
01:00:55.010 –> 01:00:57.289
the classics, right? So when we’re looking to
01:00:57.289 –> 01:00:59.190
see like, what’s going to these 10 shows that
01:00:59.190 –> 01:01:01.530
are going to be entering from the last 15 years,
01:01:01.610 –> 01:01:04.630
the likelihood of those taking one of the classic
01:01:04.630 –> 01:01:07.849
spots, maybe not as high because they were already
01:01:07.849 –> 01:01:10.309
old, right? Like they were already classic. So
01:01:10.309 –> 01:01:12.510
like, we’re not going to change our opinions
01:01:12.510 –> 01:01:15.730
too much on the classics. So for me, those 10
01:01:15.730 –> 01:01:19.659
spots have to steal from somebody else. and the
01:01:19.659 –> 01:01:22.239
80s makes more sense, I guess, because there
01:01:22.239 –> 01:01:23.699
was probably a little bit more biases in there
01:01:23.699 –> 01:01:26.460
to steal from the 80s. I don’t think you’re going
01:01:26.460 –> 01:01:28.159
to steal a whole lot from the 2000s because some
01:01:28.159 –> 01:01:29.860
of those were just needing a little bit of time,
01:01:29.920 –> 01:01:31.599
unless there was a recency bias and somebody
01:01:31.599 –> 01:01:33.559
voted on it just because it was current. So I
01:01:33.559 –> 01:01:35.639
think it makes sense for those additional shows
01:01:35.639 –> 01:01:38.179
to not necessarily take from the classics, but
01:01:38.179 –> 01:01:40.000
maybe take more from one of those other time
01:01:40.000 –> 01:01:43.800
periods. So eventually you get to the point where
01:01:43.800 –> 01:01:47.679
those 18 shows that we included in the… classic
01:01:47.679 –> 01:01:52.599
era would probably be relevant and mentioned
01:01:52.599 –> 01:01:55.860
almost no matter when we do this and over time
01:01:55.860 –> 01:01:57.960
i think that happens to the 80s and the 90s as
01:01:57.960 –> 01:02:01.139
well right like the the more the time goes on
01:02:01.139 –> 01:02:04.960
i guess you know like a polishing stone or stone
01:02:04.960 –> 01:02:06.920
polishing stone or whatever that iron sharpening
01:02:06.920 –> 01:02:08.579
iron or whatever you whatever phrase you want
01:02:08.579 –> 01:02:11.559
to go like you’ll you’ll whittle yourself down
01:02:11.559 –> 01:02:15.559
to like these are the shows yeah that’s one I
01:02:15.559 –> 01:02:16.800
haven’t heard before, but these are the shows
01:02:16.800 –> 01:02:18.519
from the eighties that are like, are just going
01:02:18.519 –> 01:02:20.039
to make it no matter what. Right. Like you’re
01:02:20.039 –> 01:02:21.840
going to have your transformers. You’re going
01:02:21.840 –> 01:02:23.260
to have your turtles. You’re going to have your
01:02:23.260 –> 01:02:25.519
duck tails, like whatever those shows are. And
01:02:25.519 –> 01:02:27.219
it won’t matter when you do this, like those
01:02:27.219 –> 01:02:29.840
will appear. And so I think the further you get
01:02:29.840 –> 01:02:31.840
away from stuff, maybe the more you end up with
01:02:31.840 –> 01:02:36.519
like the best of the best from that era. Yeah.
01:02:37.059 –> 01:02:41.079
Yeah. So, um, as far as channels go, obviously
01:02:41.079 –> 01:02:42.980
we had more syndicated shows than anything else.
01:02:43.000 –> 01:02:45.909
They reign supreme. When it comes to actual channels,
01:02:45.989 –> 01:02:48.909
though, I was shocked that ABC was the most represented.
01:02:49.070 –> 01:02:51.550
I didn’t realize that was a thing. I had no idea
01:02:51.550 –> 01:02:55.030
between CBS, NBC and ABC which one had more of
01:02:55.030 –> 01:02:57.869
a cartoon presence. But ABC came away with 14
01:02:57.869 –> 01:03:02.670
shows. Fox or Fox Kids had 11 and Cartoon Network
01:03:02.670 –> 01:03:05.130
had 11 and then down to Nickelodeon and Disney
01:03:05.130 –> 01:03:07.369
with eight apiece. Steve, anything surprise you
01:03:07.369 –> 01:03:14.880
as far as that goes? No, I mean. I really didn’t
01:03:14.880 –> 01:03:18.940
expect anything like as far as that. I was more
01:03:18.940 –> 01:03:21.280
dialing into the shows. So like, of course, it’s
01:03:21.280 –> 01:03:25.099
interesting when I hear the metrics on channels
01:03:25.099 –> 01:03:28.619
that these actually came from. Yeah. But it’s
01:03:28.619 –> 01:03:31.260
also like they’ve all changed so much over the
01:03:31.260 –> 01:03:33.179
years because people have bought different ones.
01:03:33.199 –> 01:03:35.519
So it’s kind of like, what one did that actually
01:03:35.519 –> 01:03:38.809
belong to? For sure. No, I totally get that.
01:03:38.869 –> 01:03:40.809
And we had five companies that kind of separated
01:03:40.809 –> 01:03:42.690
themselves as well. We had Nickelodeon that had
01:03:42.690 –> 01:03:45.929
seven shows represented. Marvel had eight, Disney
01:03:45.929 –> 01:03:50.110
10, Hanna -Barbera 11, and the WB 12. WB kind
01:03:50.110 –> 01:03:52.050
of has a benefit there of not only having some
01:03:52.050 –> 01:03:55.809
of those DC shows, but then also having the Animaniacs,
01:03:55.829 –> 01:03:58.829
Tiny Toons, Pinky and the Brain, WB shows as
01:03:58.829 –> 01:04:01.929
well. So WB edges out Hanna -Barbera by one,
01:04:02.010 –> 01:04:05.429
and Hanna -Barbera edged out Disney by one. Mike,
01:04:05.530 –> 01:04:09.730
any surprises there? no all right so because
01:04:09.730 –> 01:04:11.969
again because again you’re you’re even though
01:04:11.969 –> 01:04:15.610
the reason why it doesn’t surprise me is because
01:04:15.610 –> 01:04:22.349
wb and hannah barbara were both at the time in
01:04:22.349 –> 01:04:26.730
the olden times they were theatrical shorts and
01:04:26.730 –> 01:04:31.769
disney when they started doing like the full
01:04:31.769 –> 01:04:35.650
-fledged theatrical stuff they shifted their
01:04:35.650 –> 01:04:39.190
focus to that like they still did the mickey
01:04:39.190 –> 01:04:41.809
shorts and the mickey stuff and the goofy and
01:04:41.809 –> 01:04:45.230
then the donald and all that but starting in
01:04:45.230 –> 01:04:49.170
37 and going forward the focus was the features
01:04:49.170 –> 01:04:55.250
and warner’s for the most part for animation
01:04:55.250 –> 01:05:00.449
like i don’t remember hearing about in the olden
01:05:00.449 –> 01:05:04.019
times Full -fledged Warner Brothers animation.
01:05:04.920 –> 01:05:09.260
I remember hearing about shorts for Bugs and
01:05:09.260 –> 01:05:13.139
Daffy and Porky and everybody. Same thing with,
01:05:13.139 –> 01:05:16.719
with Hanna -Barbera. I don’t remember, like,
01:05:16.800 –> 01:05:20.500
I remember I’m a steely -eyed, blue -eyed stranger.
01:05:20.800 –> 01:05:23.260
I remember Huckleberry Hound having like, but
01:05:23.260 –> 01:05:25.579
that was, you know, cobbled together kind of
01:05:25.579 –> 01:05:28.320
thing. But like, so no, that doesn’t surprise
01:05:28.320 –> 01:05:30.800
me at all. Because again, that’s the classic
01:05:30.800 –> 01:05:34.300
era. where Warner Brothers and Hanna -Barbera
01:05:34.300 –> 01:05:37.900
are going to edge out Disney on certain things.
01:05:39.559 –> 01:05:42.420
Going back just real quick, last thing I want
01:05:42.420 –> 01:05:45.239
to just mention on the time period piece, because
01:05:45.239 –> 01:05:46.840
that’s kind of what we’ve been talking about.
01:05:46.920 –> 01:05:50.800
But the 90s, I think sometimes may get, you know,
01:05:50.800 –> 01:05:52.860
you see this list and you see the 90s reign supreme,
01:05:53.159 –> 01:05:56.000
you know, quite a few more shows than any other
01:05:56.000 –> 01:05:57.900
time period. And you might get some people that
01:05:57.900 –> 01:06:00.340
say, you know, 90s nostalgia or what’s the age
01:06:00.340 –> 01:06:02.769
of the folks involved. and things of that nature
01:06:02.769 –> 01:06:07.210
i would say that that’s not what happened for
01:06:07.210 –> 01:06:09.969
me like yes i will always be an 80s kid and that’ll
01:06:09.969 –> 01:06:11.789
always be like my generation and then the stuff
01:06:11.789 –> 01:06:14.929
that i love to go back to but i don’t think 90s
01:06:14.929 –> 01:06:17.150
reigning supreme is just a 90s nostalgia thing
01:06:17.150 –> 01:06:19.030
or has anything to do with the age of the folks
01:06:19.030 –> 01:06:22.690
that were present and taking a part of this poll
01:06:22.690 –> 01:06:27.800
the 90s really were unique because Every major
01:06:27.800 –> 01:06:30.139
corner of television animation peaked at the
01:06:30.139 –> 01:06:32.420
same time. And I’m going to give you guys a rundown.
01:06:32.500 –> 01:06:35.420
So you had Disney afternoon reaching its peak
01:06:35.420 –> 01:06:38.699
in the nineties. You had Warner brothers having
01:06:38.699 –> 01:06:41.300
their television Renaissance in the nineties.
01:06:41.420 –> 01:06:44.500
You had Nickelodeon creating Nick tunes in the
01:06:44.500 –> 01:06:47.340
nineties. You had cartoon network launching original
01:06:47.340 –> 01:06:51.139
programming during this decade. You had Fox redefining
01:06:51.139 –> 01:06:54.059
adult animation. You had Marvel television animation
01:06:54.059 –> 01:06:57.199
exploding. You had DC creating the animated universe.
01:06:57.320 –> 01:06:59.780
And you had anime entering the American mainstream.
01:07:00.019 –> 01:07:03.679
No decade before the 90s or since has had all
01:07:03.679 –> 01:07:05.739
of those movements happening simultaneously.
01:07:06.619 –> 01:07:09.679
So I don’t think it’s nostalgia. I don’t think
01:07:09.679 –> 01:07:11.800
it’s an age thing. I think it’s talking about
01:07:11.800 –> 01:07:16.219
a decade that in multiple facets was expanding
01:07:16.219 –> 01:07:19.750
and reaching different things. during the 90s
01:07:19.750 –> 01:07:21.389
and i don’t think that can i don’t think anybody
01:07:21.389 –> 01:07:23.130
can like really make an argument against that
01:07:23.130 –> 01:07:28.329
and i’m just looking at our top 20 hell our top
01:07:28.329 –> 01:07:32.449
21 starting with king of the hill going to batman
01:07:32.449 –> 01:07:36.809
the animated series in our top 21 of this top
01:07:36.809 –> 01:07:41.820
100 there are so many different things and maybe
01:07:41.820 –> 01:07:45.760
one or two or maybe 10 of them out of the top
01:07:45.760 –> 01:07:49.760
21 might be outside the nineties, but most of
01:07:49.760 –> 01:07:53.539
them are inside the nineties in the top 10 alone.
01:07:54.599 –> 01:08:03.679
There are one, two, three that I can count without
01:08:03.679 –> 01:08:07.019
like actually having to count kind of thing,
01:08:07.159 –> 01:08:11.789
uh, that are like designated. technically four
01:08:11.789 –> 01:08:16.029
now that i can see south park uh but like designated
01:08:16.029 –> 01:08:21.369
90s cartoons that actually start because for
01:08:21.369 –> 01:08:25.909
me like turtles i don’t count turtles as a 90s
01:08:25.909 –> 01:08:29.449
cartoon even though it went into the 90s it started
01:08:29.449 –> 01:08:35.369
in 1987 like that’s when it started Okay. That
01:08:35.369 –> 01:08:38.149
that’s how I count something. I don’t count something
01:08:38.149 –> 01:08:41.510
as a nineties thing. If it started in the previous
01:08:41.510 –> 01:08:45.630
decade. Okay. Like the Flintstones started in
01:08:45.630 –> 01:08:48.069
the sixties. I don’t count it as a seventies
01:08:48.069 –> 01:08:49.670
card. You know what I mean? Even though it didn’t
01:08:49.670 –> 01:08:52.369
last until the seventies, obviously, but like,
01:08:52.369 –> 01:08:54.250
you know what I mean? Like, I don’t understand
01:08:54.250 –> 01:08:57.310
people that will do that. That will say, oh,
01:08:57.409 –> 01:09:01.029
well it started. It’s a, like if something aired
01:09:01.029 –> 01:09:05.159
the first episode. December 31st of 1989 and
01:09:05.159 –> 01:09:09.760
then aired all the way up to 1996. Oh, it’s a
01:09:09.760 –> 01:09:11.539
90s cartoon. No, it’s not. It started in the
01:09:11.539 –> 01:09:14.180
80s. I still would say that’s a 90s cartoon.
01:09:14.380 –> 01:09:16.600
Okay, but you know what I mean, though. But you
01:09:16.600 –> 01:09:18.319
know what I, you know what, you get what I’m,
01:09:18.340 –> 01:09:20.920
you see what I’m saying, though. But like, if
01:09:20.920 –> 01:09:23.539
you look at our top 100 countdown this time around,
01:09:23.640 –> 01:09:28.520
15th anniversary, 2026 edition, I would say that.
01:09:28.880 –> 01:09:35.720
this time around we do have more of a overall
01:09:35.720 –> 01:09:41.939
rounded like every era is represented even though
01:09:41.939 –> 01:09:45.720
some people might say oh i want just like us
01:09:45.720 –> 01:09:48.479
we want this in this number we want this higher
01:09:48.479 –> 01:09:52.359
we want this lower it’s a really great representation
01:09:52.359 –> 01:09:57.270
of of of everything i think Yeah, I think it
01:09:57.270 –> 01:09:58.829
goes into some of the arguments that we had or
01:09:58.829 –> 01:10:00.170
the debates we talked about. Like, what do you
01:10:00.170 –> 01:10:02.390
value? And like some people like myself, you
01:10:02.390 –> 01:10:04.649
know, historical foundation or, you know, importance
01:10:04.649 –> 01:10:07.310
to like what what they open doors to. I think
01:10:07.310 –> 01:10:09.729
we have a good spattering of that, right? We
01:10:09.729 –> 01:10:11.369
have the Flintstones and Rocky and Bullwinkle
01:10:11.369 –> 01:10:12.970
and Scooby -Doo and Popeye. Obviously, some of
01:10:12.970 –> 01:10:14.369
those classic Huckleberry Hound Looney Tunes.
01:10:14.909 –> 01:10:17.430
We also have stuff like Space Coast Coast to
01:10:17.430 –> 01:10:19.670
Coast, which kind of opened things up for Adult
01:10:19.670 –> 01:10:21.529
Swim. And we have Reboot, which was the first
01:10:21.529 –> 01:10:24.069
fully CGI television series and things of that
01:10:24.069 –> 01:10:26.000
nature. So we have some. historical foundation
01:10:26.000 –> 01:10:28.520
shows we have some cultural phenomenon shows
01:10:28.520 –> 01:10:31.880
like you know you get into pokemon spongebob
01:10:31.880 –> 01:10:35.439
um you get into stuff like south park dragon
01:10:35.439 –> 01:10:38.960
ball z family guy sailor moon uh some of those
01:10:38.960 –> 01:10:41.020
that are just like you know cultural yeah obviously
01:10:41.020 –> 01:10:43.119
our stuff too transformers and turtles and he
01:10:43.119 –> 01:10:44.960
-man and gi joe and things like that but they’re
01:10:44.960 –> 01:10:46.680
just like we’re had cultural phenomenons they
01:10:46.680 –> 01:10:49.000
became bigger than television right and then
01:10:49.000 –> 01:10:52.359
you had shows that like literally changed television
01:10:52.359 –> 01:10:56.630
so you think of Simpsons, South Park, those things
01:10:56.630 –> 01:10:58.529
changed television. Batman, the animated series
01:10:58.529 –> 01:11:02.210
in many ways. You think of Avatar, Animaniacs,
01:11:02.250 –> 01:11:03.989
Ren and Stimpy Eye, whatever Mike says, it’s
01:11:03.989 –> 01:11:05.590
still something that helped change television.
01:11:05.750 –> 01:11:08.250
Robot Chicken, things of that nature. You had
01:11:08.250 –> 01:11:11.630
superhero animation that got redefined by Batman,
01:11:11.729 –> 01:11:13.310
the animated series, X -Men, the animated series,
01:11:13.470 –> 01:11:15.430
Justice League, Batman Beyond, Spider -Man, the
01:11:15.430 –> 01:11:16.829
animated series, Superman, the animated series,
01:11:17.010 –> 01:11:21.289
etc. Children’s animation that went to new levels
01:11:21.289 –> 01:11:25.689
with a lot of these things. You have shows that
01:11:25.689 –> 01:11:28.149
define their generation. So for baby boomers,
01:11:28.170 –> 01:11:30.510
you have Looney Tunes, Flintstones, Rocking Bullwinkle,
01:11:30.649 –> 01:11:32.869
Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, right? For Gen
01:11:32.869 –> 01:11:35.149
X or whatever you want to call it, you have He
01:11:35.149 –> 01:11:37.930
-Man, Transformers, G .I. Joe, DuckTales, Scooby
01:11:37.930 –> 01:11:40.409
-Doo, Millennials. You have all of the Marvel
01:11:40.409 –> 01:11:42.689
and DC things. You have the Animaniacs, Tiny
01:11:42.689 –> 01:11:45.609
Toons, Rugrats, Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, SpongeBob.
01:11:45.890 –> 01:11:47.430
And then, you know, for the more modern stuff,
01:11:47.529 –> 01:11:49.409
you have stuff like Avatar, Adventure Time, Gravity
01:11:49.409 –> 01:11:51.090
Falls, Phineas and Ferb, and Rick and Morty.
01:11:52.390 –> 01:11:54.489
You’re speaking to a lot of different things.
01:11:54.569 –> 01:11:56.430
And another thing that’s interesting, and I’ll
01:11:56.430 –> 01:11:59.489
kind of get your guys’ final thoughts, but I
01:11:59.489 –> 01:12:03.069
thought it was interesting that if you look across
01:12:03.069 –> 01:12:08.970
all of the top 100, it is almost a history of
01:12:08.970 –> 01:12:12.170
animated television told through these 100 series.
01:12:12.630 –> 01:12:16.189
So if someone watched all 100 shows that we put
01:12:16.189 –> 01:12:19.510
on our top 100, they would experience the following
01:12:19.510 –> 01:12:23.329
things. The birth of television animation. They
01:12:23.329 –> 01:12:26.970
would experience Saturday morning cartoons. They
01:12:26.970 –> 01:12:30.329
would experience the rise of the syndicated action
01:12:30.329 –> 01:12:33.550
cartoons. They would experience the Disney afternoon
01:12:33.550 –> 01:12:35.390
and the Warner Brothers Renaissance. The rise
01:12:35.390 –> 01:12:37.949
of Nickelodeon. The originals that came out of
01:12:37.949 –> 01:12:40.449
Cartoon Network. Anime’s explosion in the West.
01:12:40.569 –> 01:12:43.710
Superhero animation’s evolution. Rise of adult
01:12:43.710 –> 01:12:47.479
animation and some… Really high quality serialized
01:12:47.479 –> 01:12:49.920
animation, which kind of changed things across
01:12:49.920 –> 01:12:54.119
the industry. So it’s not just a ranking of shows.
01:12:54.180 –> 01:12:57.779
It really accidentally also tells the story of
01:12:57.779 –> 01:13:00.100
how television animation has evolved over nearly
01:13:00.100 –> 01:13:03.359
70 years. We planned it the whole time, folks.
01:13:03.699 –> 01:13:07.399
We did somehow manage to capture all of that.
01:13:07.479 –> 01:13:10.300
Steve, when you look back at kind of what this
01:13:10.300 –> 01:13:12.159
list represents, because I think there was a
01:13:12.159 –> 01:13:14.350
couple important things that came out. And I
01:13:14.350 –> 01:13:17.630
know Dan at one point had said, you know, the
01:13:17.630 –> 01:13:21.189
best cartoons of all time. And that’s one way
01:13:21.189 –> 01:13:23.069
to look at it, right? What are the best cartoons?
01:13:23.470 –> 01:13:25.649
I think I have a different approach. I view it
01:13:25.649 –> 01:13:28.930
as what are the most important cartoons because
01:13:28.930 –> 01:13:31.430
I do put a value in stuff that opened up doors
01:13:31.430 –> 01:13:33.970
or had an impact on the industry or different
01:13:33.970 –> 01:13:36.789
genres and sub genres, et cetera. So everybody
01:13:36.789 –> 01:13:39.010
has a different way of looking at this, but when
01:13:39.010 –> 01:13:41.710
you look overall at, you know, this experience
01:13:41.710 –> 01:13:45.250
and kind of what we crafted here, with the 100
01:13:45.250 –> 01:13:47.810
that we landed on what are your takeaways and
01:13:47.810 –> 01:13:49.850
kind of how do you feel about the project overall
01:13:49.850 –> 01:13:53.630
i i feel like i i learned something new about
01:13:53.630 –> 01:13:56.109
this process every time and and the shows that
01:13:56.109 –> 01:13:59.909
are represented just because uh one i i did make
01:13:59.909 –> 01:14:04.869
the attempt to watch every single show uh this
01:14:04.869 –> 01:14:07.869
time around as opposed to the last time where
01:14:07.869 –> 01:14:12.619
i was like i don’t know Just because I wanted
01:14:12.619 –> 01:14:15.000
to kind of understand it, even if it was like
01:14:15.000 –> 01:14:18.539
animation that I hated or I couldn’t get into
01:14:18.539 –> 01:14:22.619
the art style or the storylines or the voice
01:14:22.619 –> 01:14:26.399
acting or, you know, I tried to give all of them
01:14:26.399 –> 01:14:30.619
a fair shake of at least three episodes just
01:14:30.619 –> 01:14:35.460
to kind of see, you know, what. What the redeeming
01:14:35.460 –> 01:14:40.130
qualities are, what the. behind the shows are,
01:14:40.250 –> 01:14:43.850
why they’re important to animation. Because,
01:14:43.930 –> 01:14:46.869
I mean, if you go through this list, say what
01:14:46.869 –> 01:14:49.630
you will about any of them. Like, I wouldn’t
01:14:49.630 –> 01:14:53.010
say it’s like the ultimate top 100. No, I would
01:14:53.010 –> 01:14:59.029
say it is, as you mentioned, the most memorable
01:14:59.029 –> 01:15:05.430
of the animation. And each one of them revolutionized
01:15:05.430 –> 01:15:08.800
animation in some different way. Like some of
01:15:08.800 –> 01:15:11.859
them brought some specific ounce of something
01:15:11.859 –> 01:15:15.560
to the animation sphere. And I mean, if we didn’t
01:15:15.560 –> 01:15:18.819
have, you know, as it was mentioned, you know,
01:15:18.819 –> 01:15:21.619
Tiny Toons and then leading to, you know, animated
01:15:21.619 –> 01:15:24.640
Batman, the animated series or, you know, Batman,
01:15:24.699 –> 01:15:26.979
the animated series has been kind of the poster
01:15:26.979 –> 01:15:31.039
child for every superhero cartoon since. And
01:15:31.039 –> 01:15:34.659
they’ve just one up certain aspects of it. But
01:15:34.659 –> 01:15:38.439
each one of these shows. has been not only a
01:15:38.439 –> 01:15:40.699
gateway for people getting into animation, but
01:15:40.699 –> 01:15:44.699
it’s also been something different. Like most
01:15:44.699 –> 01:15:47.399
of these, even in the different iterations of
01:15:47.399 –> 01:15:50.819
the shows that are represented here, like Dragon
01:15:50.819 –> 01:15:52.899
Ball to Dragon Ball Z, they’re totally different
01:15:52.899 –> 01:15:55.920
styles and tones, but it’s the same universe.
01:15:56.199 –> 01:16:00.420
You look at Batman, the animated series, and
01:16:00.420 –> 01:16:02.539
Superman, and Justice League, and Batman Beyond,
01:16:02.760 –> 01:16:05.510
they’re all the same universe. different tone
01:16:05.510 –> 01:16:07.810
and style to each one of them you know you look
01:16:07.810 –> 01:16:12.229
at uh like pretty much any of these shows in
01:16:12.229 –> 01:16:15.529
here there’s something different to each one
01:16:15.529 –> 01:16:18.289
but it’s something that causes them to be memorable
01:16:18.289 –> 01:16:24.430
and to stand out and i feel like well yes there
01:16:24.430 –> 01:16:28.409
are a ton of new cartoons all the time most of
01:16:28.409 –> 01:16:30.609
the stuff that’s coming out now i don’t feel
01:16:30.609 –> 01:16:36.340
like has I feel like we hit that that peak in
01:16:36.340 –> 01:16:39.000
the 90s and then it’s been kind of, you know,
01:16:39.000 –> 01:16:41.359
we’ve had the random hits here or there, you
01:16:41.359 –> 01:16:44.880
know, but I feel like that was peak animation.
01:16:44.939 –> 01:16:47.060
And now we’re kind of like on the downward decline
01:16:47.060 –> 01:16:51.079
to where animation is at this like five to six
01:16:51.079 –> 01:16:55.859
minute episode thing where it’s very low entry.
01:16:55.920 –> 01:17:01.039
It’s very like placating to trying to get kids
01:17:01.039 –> 01:17:03.989
to watch it. But I feel like they’ve dumbed them
01:17:03.989 –> 01:17:06.649
down so much that there’s nothing interesting
01:17:06.649 –> 01:17:09.869
to the new stuff. Whereas the old stuff, it was
01:17:09.869 –> 01:17:13.149
not written totally for kids. It was written
01:17:13.149 –> 01:17:15.449
for the people that literally were writing it.
01:17:15.770 –> 01:17:19.810
And they hid things in it, yes. But it wasn’t
01:17:19.810 –> 01:17:22.729
an in -your -face thing that caused the show
01:17:22.729 –> 01:17:28.569
to fall apart based on it. But the show persevered
01:17:28.569 –> 01:17:31.989
and we ended up with… all of this stuff that
01:17:31.989 –> 01:17:36.670
we remember today yeah no i totally agree i i
01:17:36.670 –> 01:17:40.149
did throw this into our list overall and the
01:17:40.149 –> 01:17:43.210
ai and asked it to you know pressure test us
01:17:43.210 –> 01:17:45.409
and tell us how we did and i think it was interesting
01:17:45.409 –> 01:17:47.970
the results that it shot back out it said um
01:17:47.970 –> 01:17:52.710
it said it could tell or based on the top 100
01:17:52.710 –> 01:17:55.689
that voters tried to balance four main criteria
01:17:55.689 –> 01:17:58.829
which was historical importance cultural impact
01:17:58.829 –> 01:18:01.090
artistic quality and then personal affection
01:18:01.090 –> 01:18:03.329
or nostalgia and it says for the most part i
01:18:03.329 –> 01:18:06.550
think that succeeded you know batman being number
01:18:06.550 –> 01:18:09.630
one tells tells told ai that quality mattered
01:18:09.630 –> 01:18:12.710
transformers being in the top 10 told you that
01:18:12.710 –> 01:18:14.890
cultural influence and impact mattered flintstones
01:18:14.890 –> 01:18:16.970
being in the top 10 you know history mattered
01:18:16.970 –> 01:18:19.649
ducktales being in the top five you know nostalgia
01:18:19.649 –> 01:18:22.430
and personal affection wasn’t ignored said you
01:18:22.430 –> 01:18:24.890
know as far as like looking at this overall that
01:18:25.529 –> 01:18:27.970
It not only gave us a snapshot of the history
01:18:27.970 –> 01:18:32.210
of televisions, but it also made it that there
01:18:32.210 –> 01:18:35.250
was an interesting balance between history, artistry,
01:18:35.250 –> 01:18:37.710
influence, cultural footprint, nostalgia, and
01:18:37.710 –> 01:18:40.430
that it didn’t overcorrect or show a bias in
01:18:40.430 –> 01:18:44.090
any one particular way. And where it may not
01:18:44.090 –> 01:18:46.449
be what some people would say is the best cartoons
01:18:46.449 –> 01:18:49.210
list, it is a snapshot of the history of animated
01:18:49.210 –> 01:18:52.640
television and more of a consensus. top 100 which
01:18:52.640 –> 01:18:54.060
i think is a word that came up multiple times
01:18:54.060 –> 01:18:56.220
that we would probably agree with that nobody
01:18:56.220 –> 01:18:59.520
got you know uh an extra boost based on one category
01:18:59.520 –> 01:19:01.520
or the other it was a more of a consensus look
01:19:01.520 –> 01:19:04.859
based on 44 contributors with the various ages
01:19:04.859 –> 01:19:08.159
and and experience and things of that nature
01:19:08.159 –> 01:19:11.880
so i think we struck a good balance of what could
01:19:11.880 –> 01:19:14.520
be seen as a consensus look at like some of the
01:19:14.520 –> 01:19:17.319
most important or most relevant cartoons that
01:19:17.319 –> 01:19:21.560
have defined a history of animation so i’m pleasantly
01:19:21.560 –> 01:19:23.680
surprised with how this uh this went mike any
01:19:23.680 –> 01:19:28.460
other thought i think i’m good well that’s all
01:19:28.460 –> 01:19:31.420
we have if you have more questions about this
01:19:31.420 –> 01:19:33.760
countdown and things like that mike will give
01:19:33.760 –> 01:19:35.399
you more information on how you can reach out
01:19:35.399 –> 01:19:37.539
to us and do stuff like that and and some maybe
01:19:37.539 –> 01:19:41.140
some teases along the way mike we got a teaser
01:19:41.140 –> 01:19:43.800
for you folks we’ve been talking behind the scenes
01:19:43.800 –> 01:19:46.699
and i did a little math and a little other things
01:19:46.699 –> 01:19:50.949
uh around here behind the scenes and i found
01:19:50.949 –> 01:19:56.630
out that uh 10 years ago in 2017 because i have
01:19:56.630 –> 01:20:01.350
a a master list in a different document because
01:20:01.350 –> 01:20:05.149
i keep track of all the top 100s we do and we’ve
01:20:05.149 –> 01:20:08.050
done nine of these as i mentioned earlier in
01:20:08.050 –> 01:20:13.369
the show and our 10th top 100 countdown will
01:20:13.369 –> 01:20:17.859
be coming up in the summer of 2027 and i looked
01:20:17.859 –> 01:20:21.680
at all the ones we did before and in 2017 we
01:20:21.680 –> 01:20:27.159
did a top 100 countdown that was very very evil
01:20:27.159 –> 01:20:31.760
because we did the top 100 villains and i talked
01:20:31.760 –> 01:20:35.800
to steve and i talked to kevin and i’m like what
01:20:35.800 –> 01:20:42.550
if we did something heroic let’s be heroes And
01:20:42.550 –> 01:20:44.430
we talked about it and we talked about it and
01:20:44.430 –> 01:20:47.630
we’re going to do it in the same way we did this
01:20:47.630 –> 01:20:52.090
one. We’re going to do nominations like we did
01:20:52.090 –> 01:20:54.949
with this. And then where you guys get to vote.
01:20:55.010 –> 01:20:57.930
So there’ll be nomination episodes and then there’ll
01:20:57.930 –> 01:21:02.050
be the countdown. So in the summer of 2027 coming
01:21:02.050 –> 01:21:05.829

01:21:05.829 –> 01:21:12.500

to say, Steve, before I run through the outro?
01:21:17.279 –> 01:21:21.699
No, I think I hear a voice or anything. I know
01:21:21.699 –> 01:21:27.039
you usually do villains, but. Yeah, I don’t have
01:21:27.039 –> 01:21:28.899
any heroes off the top of my head right now.
01:21:30.000 –> 01:21:32.460
That would be interesting to hear a hero side
01:21:32.460 –> 01:21:38.600
of Beast Wars Megatron. Shattered glass. Oh,
01:21:38.840 –> 01:21:47.119
