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:

  • A masterclass statistical comparison of how animation tastes evolved from 2011 to 2026.
  • Unfiltered host debates on the most overrated and underrated shows on the final list.
  • A deep dive into the “Just Missed” bracket from numbers 110 to 125.
  • The exclusive first details on the upcoming Top 100 Heroes mega-project.

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

Wars Rebels, Adventure Time, Beast Machines,

00:49:50.619 –> 00:49:53.800

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

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
