Whether you’re into superhero squads (Justice League, Teen Titans, Static Shock), anime legends (Naruto, Death Note, Inuyasha), or quirky comedies (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Bros, American Dad), this episode has something for every toon lover. Tune in to hear their selections and prepare for the upcoming discussion on the 2010s nominees.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.270 –> 00:00:04.349
Jazz here, and I am so digging the Geekcast Radio

00:00:04.349 –> 00:00:07.629
Network. This is Static. When Gear and I aren’t

00:00:07.629 –> 00:00:09.529
fighting bang babies, we like to listen to the

00:00:09.529 –> 00:00:12.890
Geekcast Radio Network. Hey, bub, I keep telling

00:00:12.890 –> 00:00:45.939
you, don’t call me Wolfie! Snicked. Welcome back

00:00:45.939 –> 00:00:49.420
to Geekcast Radio’s Top 100 Animated Series nominees

00:00:49.420 –> 00:00:53.439
episodes. I am TFG1 Mike. Joining me as always

00:00:53.439 –> 00:00:58.320
is Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. Yo. And Optimus

00:00:58.320 –> 00:01:02.280
Solo. Oh. No Thundercats. A pirate’s life for

00:01:02.280 –> 00:01:06.260
me. I was going to say, no Thundercats here,

00:01:06.359 –> 00:01:09.739
folks. This is, yeah, no Thundercats. Fucking

00:01:09.739 –> 00:01:14.980
sailors instead. Yeah. So how is everyone? Fantastic.

00:01:15.500 –> 00:01:21.140
Yay. So we had a little interlude, little break

00:01:21.140 –> 00:01:23.920
between the 90s episode and this episode. My

00:01:23.920 –> 00:01:27.920
buddy Brad came on and we did a convention attention

00:01:27.920 –> 00:01:31.519
episode for the first time in a while as he has

00:01:31.519 –> 00:01:35.019
spent 19 years out of the 20 years that New York

00:01:35.019 –> 00:01:36.980
Comic Con has been a thing. And he went to New

00:01:36.980 –> 00:01:39.799
York Comic Con. So that was the last episode

00:01:39.799 –> 00:01:43.310
you find people would have heard. Uh, and, uh,

00:01:43.310 –> 00:01:45.969
yeah, so we’re bringing it back from the NYCC

00:01:45.969 –> 00:01:48.909
convention attention recap. We get back to the

00:01:48.909 –> 00:01:52.689
nominees and we enter the decade of the two thousands.

00:01:52.829 –> 00:01:56.090
Take it away. Optimus solo. Yeah. So if you don’t

00:01:56.090 –> 00:01:58.310
know what we’re talking about, go back and listen

00:01:58.310 –> 00:02:00.209
to the episodes that we did with the pre eighties,

00:02:00.209 –> 00:02:01.750
the eighties and the nineties, where we explain

00:02:01.750 –> 00:02:04.790
it in full detail, but we are selecting nominations

00:02:04.790 –> 00:02:08.919
for people to vote on this time around. Last

00:02:08.919 –> 00:02:11.560
time, I don’t know if I’ve said this before on

00:02:11.560 –> 00:02:14.120
any of the other episodes, but last time we got

00:02:14.120 –> 00:02:16.300
votes, you could vote for any cartoon. It was

00:02:16.300 –> 00:02:18.860
open -ended. There was no qualifications. And

00:02:18.860 –> 00:02:25.000
we had votes on about 360 cartoons overall on

00:02:25.000 –> 00:02:27.520
that one. So we’re narrowing it down here, and

00:02:27.520 –> 00:02:30.800
we’re only going to give the voters a choice

00:02:30.800 –> 00:02:34.240
between 250 cartoons. So we’re already cutting

00:02:34.240 –> 00:02:36.840
100 off of what got votes last time, which…

00:02:37.389 –> 00:02:39.270
Should eliminate some of the one -offs, some

00:02:39.270 –> 00:02:41.689
of the personal favorites, some of the biases

00:02:41.689 –> 00:02:45.810
that we saw in the last countdown. And by doing

00:02:45.810 –> 00:02:48.069
that or how we get to that 250 is we’re selecting

00:02:48.069 –> 00:02:50.629
50 from different time periods. So today we are

00:02:50.629 –> 00:02:53.169
covering anything that was released from 2000

00:02:53.169 –> 00:02:58.490
to 2009. That would be our 2000s as far as a

00:02:58.490 –> 00:03:01.770
decade goes. Interesting to note, and we’ll talk

00:03:01.770 –> 00:03:05.250
a little bit more about this at the end. But

00:03:05.250 –> 00:03:08.789
only 12 of the shows we’re going to talk about

00:03:08.789 –> 00:03:12.629
in this 50 actually made the original top 100.

00:03:13.550 –> 00:03:18.710
That’s crazy. However, 12 made it 41 out of these

00:03:18.710 –> 00:03:22.909
50 got at least one vote, though. Wow. So only

00:03:22.909 –> 00:03:24.590
nine shows that we’re going to discuss today

00:03:24.590 –> 00:03:27.770
did not receive a vote for the previous countdown.

00:03:28.330 –> 00:03:31.189
And we have had, like we’ve talked about for

00:03:31.189 –> 00:03:33.409
all of these episodes, we’ve had 15 more years.

00:03:34.479 –> 00:03:36.620
Even though all of these shows were eligible

00:03:36.620 –> 00:03:40.280
last time, some of them had come out very recently

00:03:40.280 –> 00:03:42.960
when we did the countdown. So some of them were

00:03:42.960 –> 00:03:45.120
still fresh. Some of them were newer. Some of

00:03:45.120 –> 00:03:46.960
them we hadn’t got to see how long they would

00:03:46.960 –> 00:03:48.860
stick around, how many episodes they would air.

00:03:49.000 –> 00:03:51.960
So there may have been some shows that came out

00:03:51.960 –> 00:03:56.319
in 2008, 2009 that went on to have hundreds of

00:03:56.319 –> 00:03:57.919
episodes that we just wouldn’t have known about

00:03:57.919 –> 00:04:00.180
when we did this the first time. So we’ll have

00:04:00.180 –> 00:04:03.379
to see if we make a jump from 12 on the last.

00:04:03.840 –> 00:04:06.300
countdown to a higher number and what we think

00:04:06.300 –> 00:04:08.599
about after we go through the set as we’ve done

00:04:08.599 –> 00:04:10.919
with all of the other episodes like this we’re

00:04:10.919 –> 00:04:12.680
going to cover five at a time i’m going to throw

00:04:12.680 –> 00:04:14.400
out five different shows we’re going to react

00:04:14.400 –> 00:04:16.560
steve mike and myself will give you our thoughts

00:04:16.560 –> 00:04:19.259
on which ones we feel strongly about which ones

00:04:19.259 –> 00:04:22.060
we don’t feel strongly about and then after we

00:04:22.060 –> 00:04:24.399
go five by five a bunch of times we’ll hit to

00:04:24.399 –> 00:04:26.660
50 that’s how the math works and then at the

00:04:26.660 –> 00:04:29.339
end we’ll talk a little bit about all of them

00:04:29.339 –> 00:04:32.399
encompassing and we’ll see what ai has to say

00:04:32.399 –> 00:04:35.000
about this set as well mike anything you want

00:04:35.000 –> 00:04:36.680
to get off your chest before we reveal the first

00:04:36.680 –> 00:04:40.319
five well it is the decade of the 2000s and there

00:04:40.319 –> 00:04:44.180
was a lot so this would have been steve you were

00:04:44.180 –> 00:04:49.699
in high school for a tiny bit of the 2000s actually

00:04:49.699 –> 00:04:51.879
i was in high school for the first four years

00:04:51.879 –> 00:04:55.240
okay so you this is like four years of high school

00:04:55.240 –> 00:05:03.519
and then your post high school Three years. I

00:05:03.519 –> 00:05:08.040
graduated high school in May of 2000. I spent

00:05:08.040 –> 00:05:10.040
the first four years of this decade basically

00:05:10.040 –> 00:05:12.560
in college and then afterwards. That’s just giving

00:05:12.560 –> 00:05:17.860
you guys a reference about our spots. How old

00:05:17.860 –> 00:05:19.120
we were when we would have been watching these

00:05:19.120 –> 00:05:21.139
and things of that nature. It’ll be interesting.

00:05:21.259 –> 00:05:23.579
Steve, anything else that you want to get off

00:05:23.579 –> 00:05:25.300
your chest or cover before we reveal the first

00:05:25.300 –> 00:05:30.160
five? Off of recent research, having come off

00:05:30.160 –> 00:05:33.959
of the the pre -80s the 80s the 90s there’s quite

00:05:33.959 –> 00:05:39.040
a bit in the 2000s and the 2010s on up to the

00:05:39.040 –> 00:05:42.939
current day that i am not very well versed in

00:05:42.939 –> 00:05:45.160
because again i was in high school i was working

00:05:45.160 –> 00:05:48.879
i right i had limited time for television uh

00:05:48.879 –> 00:05:51.939
so i i was very selective on what i watched like

00:05:51.939 –> 00:05:54.220
dragon ball z was still kind of a mainstay as

00:05:54.220 –> 00:05:57.600
well as some of the transformers shows that were

00:05:57.600 –> 00:05:59.639
on during this time i think i want to say armada

00:05:59.639 –> 00:06:04.220
was on i i didn’t watch a whole lot so it’s been

00:06:04.220 –> 00:06:08.480
interesting going back and skimming through and

00:06:08.480 –> 00:06:10.279
i haven’t made it through all the shows yet by

00:06:10.279 –> 00:06:13.379
the time we do the actual top 100 i’ll have watched

00:06:13.379 –> 00:06:17.399
something from every show on this list out of

00:06:17.399 –> 00:06:20.920
the 250 if i’m not familiar with it but there’s

00:06:20.920 –> 00:06:23.740
quite a few here and in the next episode that

00:06:23.740 –> 00:06:27.389
uh i’m not very well versed at this current juncture

00:06:27.389 –> 00:06:30.629
yeah the other thing to keep in mind as we go

00:06:30.629 –> 00:06:32.310
through this obviously the pre -80s we’ve all

00:06:32.310 –> 00:06:34.750
had our entire lives to catch up with those shows

00:06:34.750 –> 00:06:37.230
you know the 80s we’ve had basically our entire

00:06:37.230 –> 00:06:39.610
lives to catch up with those as we get into this

00:06:39.610 –> 00:06:42.029
2000s and 2010 Steve is definitely right there

00:06:42.029 –> 00:06:44.550
may be a few that we reveal on this episode and

00:06:44.550 –> 00:06:46.850
in the next episode that we’re not going to be

00:06:46.850 –> 00:06:50.850
as well versed to today or in you know the time

00:06:50.850 –> 00:06:52.750
period that we’re recording these as we will

00:06:52.750 –> 00:06:55.730
be potentially when we record the top 100 plus

00:06:56.439 –> 00:06:58.399
we may have some other guests and different people

00:06:58.399 –> 00:06:59.839
showing up we’ll have to wait and see how that

00:06:59.839 –> 00:07:02.699
all plays out so apologies ahead of time if there’s

00:07:02.699 –> 00:07:04.899
a few on here that we’re just gonna have to uh

00:07:04.899 –> 00:07:08.839
skip not skip necessarily but say that you know

00:07:08.839 –> 00:07:11.740
it’s a blind spot for us yeah yeah exactly for

00:07:11.740 –> 00:07:15.060
me this was my when i was in college i was watching

00:07:15.060 –> 00:07:19.600
more of the adult cartoons like uh adult base

00:07:19.600 –> 00:07:21.889
like Family Guy, this would have been my Family

00:07:21.889 –> 00:07:25.170
Guy stage or things of that nature. So if it

00:07:25.170 –> 00:07:27.149
was aimed at a younger audience that came out

00:07:27.149 –> 00:07:29.050
here, the only way I would have been exposed

00:07:29.050 –> 00:07:31.149
to that would have been catching it up much later

00:07:31.149 –> 00:07:33.709
or doing it when I was capturing voices and things

00:07:33.709 –> 00:07:36.269
of that nature. But for a lot of us, we didn’t

00:07:36.269 –> 00:07:39.370
start doing the podcasting and some of the other

00:07:39.370 –> 00:07:46.649
stuff like this until 2009 -ish. Well, for Steve,

00:07:46.670 –> 00:07:50.800
it was 2005. For me, it was 2008. Right. And

00:07:50.800 –> 00:07:54.220
the thing is, is for me, what I remember is I

00:07:54.220 –> 00:07:57.600
basically switched from animation to live action

00:07:57.600 –> 00:08:03.139
past 2004, which was X -Men Wolverine and the

00:08:03.139 –> 00:08:05.779
X -Men or X -Men evolution or something like

00:08:05.779 –> 00:08:10.279
that. Past 2004, I switched up to live action

00:08:10.279 –> 00:08:13.620
television again, and I was watching live action

00:08:13.620 –> 00:08:20.439
TV stuff. very rarely watched action up until

00:08:20.439 –> 00:08:24.819
transformers animated hit in 2007 2008 when that

00:08:24.819 –> 00:08:30.519
started going i did not like from it’s it’s a

00:08:30.519 –> 00:08:34.980
whole thing and to this day for i i can still

00:08:34.980 –> 00:08:43.039
say from literally from 2000 to now more specifically

00:08:43.039 –> 00:08:49.639
2008 to now I don’t watch TV or cartoons in general

00:08:49.639 –> 00:08:53.720
the way that I did when I was a kid, obviously,

00:08:53.799 –> 00:08:56.500
because things have changed or whatever else.

00:08:56.539 –> 00:08:59.559
I watch them to discuss them on podcasts now

00:08:59.559 –> 00:09:02.879
more so than because podcasting wasn’t a thing

00:09:02.879 –> 00:09:05.860
40 years ago, 45 years ago. But the point is

00:09:05.860 –> 00:09:12.500
that I can no longer just sit here and watch

00:09:12.500 –> 00:09:16.269
something to watch it. I have to have a purpose

00:09:16.269 –> 00:09:19.950
in watching something or listening. Like music

00:09:19.950 –> 00:09:23.309
is kind of like my escape. So I can listen to

00:09:23.309 –> 00:09:26.429
a song or listen to an album or, and I enjoy

00:09:26.429 –> 00:09:29.029
that. And I do that and I can, you know, all

00:09:29.029 –> 00:09:33.470
of that. That’s fine. You know, but I still write,

00:09:33.509 –> 00:09:36.389
you know, soundtrack reviews for La La Land Records

00:09:36.389 –> 00:09:39.230
for geekcastradio .com, stuff like that. But

00:09:39.230 –> 00:09:43.100
like. When it comes to watching stuff or reading

00:09:43.100 –> 00:09:45.179
comics or any of that kind of stuff that we’ve

00:09:45.179 –> 00:09:49.279
been doing over the last almost 16 and a half,

00:09:49.340 –> 00:09:53.620
17 years of the network, I can’t just do it to

00:09:53.620 –> 00:09:56.899
do it. I have to do it to do a podcast about

00:09:56.899 –> 00:09:59.460
it or discuss it with you guys or discuss it

00:09:59.460 –> 00:10:03.580
with other people that aren’t you. I’m just saying

00:10:03.580 –> 00:10:05.399
this because I know it’s not your thing, Kev.

00:10:05.440 –> 00:10:08.259
I’m not trying to call you out. I know Power

00:10:08.259 –> 00:10:12.440
Rangers is not. Optimus Solos thing so I’m gonna

00:10:12.440 –> 00:10:15.559
go to Steve or I’m gonna go to Scotty Cash or

00:10:15.559 –> 00:10:17.620
I’m gonna go to my buddy Jesse or I’m gonna go

00:10:17.620 –> 00:10:19.899
to somebody else if there’s a Power Rangers thing

00:10:19.899 –> 00:10:24.840
if there’s a somehow a weird Saved by the Bell

00:10:24.840 –> 00:10:28.580
reunion I’m gonna say hey hey Optimus Solo let’s

00:10:28.580 –> 00:10:32.419
do this or do that or whatever kind of thing

00:10:32.419 –> 00:10:36.879
like because podcasting is so big in my life

00:10:36.879 –> 00:10:40.639
and it’s basically my entire life for the most

00:10:40.639 –> 00:10:44.159
part unless i’m sleeping i’m breathing podcasting

00:10:44.159 –> 00:10:49.940
when i’m not sleeping so when i’m watching the

00:10:49.940 –> 00:10:53.879
cartoons to do the research to make sure i know

00:10:53.879 –> 00:10:57.340
what i need to know for these nominee reveals

00:10:57.340 –> 00:11:02.240
for the top 100 next year it’s so i have the

00:11:02.240 –> 00:11:05.610
knowledge so i can come on the episodes and say,

00:11:05.710 –> 00:11:08.090
hey, I watched that, or I remember watching that,

00:11:08.210 –> 00:11:10.889
or I, in the perfect example, and I know this

00:11:10.889 –> 00:11:13.090
is not 2000s, but in the perfect example of Goof

00:11:13.090 –> 00:11:16.269
Troop, before I started watching it currently,

00:11:16.470 –> 00:11:20.110
I remember a Goofy movie. That’s what I remember.

00:11:22.230 –> 00:11:25.289
I was surprised. It’s a whole thing. So, yeah.

00:11:25.750 –> 00:11:30.309
But the 2000s was very interesting when it came

00:11:30.309 –> 00:11:33.220
to animation. All right, we’ll have to see what

00:11:33.220 –> 00:11:36.279
you guys react to as we reveal each set of five.

00:11:36.460 –> 00:11:38.600
So let’s go ahead and get to this first set of

00:11:38.600 –> 00:11:41.980
five. Okay, but you promised to help me with

00:11:41.980 –> 00:11:45.000
math class. Sure, I know. Okay, I will. I will.

00:11:45.580 –> 00:11:48.419
Okay, recite your whole numbers in descending

00:11:48.419 –> 00:11:53.320
order, starting with five, Carl. Five? Yes. Have

00:11:53.320 –> 00:11:55.100
you managed to contact your home planet yet?

00:11:55.200 –> 00:11:57.559
Oh, you know, I was gonna do it yesterday, but

00:11:57.559 –> 00:12:00.539
I got distracted. VH1 was running this I Love

00:12:00.539 –> 00:12:03.179
the 80s marathon. Did you know Lou Ferrigno was

00:12:03.179 –> 00:12:07.799
deaf? Your car has been crushed. Mystery solved.

00:12:08.019 –> 00:12:11.679
That’ll be $20. Hey, get back here. Get back

00:12:11.679 –> 00:12:14.200
here, cup. Who crushed it? That’s what I want

00:12:14.200 –> 00:12:19.240
to know. Meteors did it! Okay, that’ll be $20.

00:12:19.519 –> 00:12:24.759
Hey, Carl. Meteors did it! That’ll be $20. It’s

00:12:24.759 –> 00:12:26.940
a short list, Woodhouse. Yes, sir. The two things

00:12:26.940 –> 00:12:29.120
we don’t allow in here, what are they? Dogs and

00:12:29.120 –> 00:12:31.120
your mother. That’s a very short list, isn’t

00:12:31.120 –> 00:12:34.500
it? Yes. A time of peace. When the Avatar kept

00:12:34.500 –> 00:12:37.080
balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom,

00:12:37.299 –> 00:12:41.200
Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed

00:12:41.200 –> 00:12:44.679
when the Fire Nation attacked. All right. As

00:12:44.679 –> 00:12:46.279
we’ve said in the previous episodes, these are

00:12:46.279 –> 00:12:48.559
in alphabetical order for the most part, loosely

00:12:48.559 –> 00:12:50.740
alphabetical. I don’t fine tune it and take the

00:12:50.740 –> 00:12:53.240
those out and things of that nature. But it is

00:12:53.240 –> 00:12:56.360
no bearing on the top 100 as no votes have been

00:12:56.360 –> 00:12:58.919
cast for anything like that. Also, last caveat

00:12:58.919 –> 00:13:01.740
is anything that is mentioned today, even if

00:13:01.740 –> 00:13:03.799
we say we wouldn’t probably vote for it on our

00:13:03.799 –> 00:13:05.379
top 100, just the fact that we’re mentioning

00:13:05.379 –> 00:13:08.240
it means that we’ve placed it in the top 50 for

00:13:08.240 –> 00:13:11.600
its era or its decade or its time period, whichever

00:13:11.600 –> 00:13:13.970
one we’re covering. Does get props for that.

00:13:14.129 –> 00:13:16.029
So our first set of five, as you just heard,

00:13:16.169 –> 00:13:19.789
we have Adventures of Jimmy Neutron from 2002.

00:13:20.870 –> 00:13:23.470
That did not receive, it did not make our original

00:13:23.470 –> 00:13:25.529
list and it did not receive any votes actually

00:13:25.529 –> 00:13:27.090
last time either. It’s one of the nine that did

00:13:27.090 –> 00:13:31.570
not receive any votes. We have American Dad from

00:13:31.570 –> 00:13:35.450
2005. I believe that show has aired 350 plus

00:13:35.450 –> 00:13:38.909
episodes. We have Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which

00:13:38.909 –> 00:13:42.389
debuted in 2000. Also over 100 episodes. We have

00:13:42.389 –> 00:13:46.070
Archer just made it into this section coming

00:13:46.070 –> 00:13:49.870
out in 2009. And we have Avatar the Last Airbender

00:13:49.870 –> 00:13:52.570
coming out in 2005. So out of those five, Avatar

00:13:52.570 –> 00:13:54.210
the Last Airbender is the only one that made

00:13:54.210 –> 00:13:56.309
our original top 100. It came in at number 36.

00:13:57.009 –> 00:13:59.090
Aqua Teen, Hunger Force, and American Dad did

00:13:59.090 –> 00:14:02.549
get votes. They ended up in 162nd and American

00:14:02.549 –> 00:14:07.179
Dad in 267th place. So not a lot of love for

00:14:07.179 –> 00:14:08.720
it, even though it did get votes. Archer and

00:14:08.720 –> 00:14:10.519
Adventures of Jimmy Neutron did not receive any

00:14:10.519 –> 00:14:12.799
votes. Archer was fairly new at the time. I’m

00:14:12.799 –> 00:14:14.399
shocked that Jimmy Neutron didn’t get any votes.

00:14:14.639 –> 00:14:19.440
When it comes to my take on this one, I feel

00:14:19.440 –> 00:14:21.759
like Avatar The Last Airbender is a lock to get

00:14:21.759 –> 00:14:25.679
a vote and a lock to appear on the top 100. Out

00:14:25.679 –> 00:14:29.720
of the other ones, I think it may become a personal

00:14:29.720 –> 00:14:32.799
preference because we have, for example, American

00:14:32.799 –> 00:14:35.809
Dad, Aqua Teen, Hunger Force, and Archer. All

00:14:35.809 –> 00:14:37.330
probably going towards the same demographic.

00:14:37.549 –> 00:14:40.110
So it depended on what age you were, what kind

00:14:40.110 –> 00:14:42.269
of humor you like, etc. As far as which one of

00:14:42.269 –> 00:14:44.710
those three works the best for you or how many

00:14:44.710 –> 00:14:47.169
spots you have for that adult primetime type

00:14:47.169 –> 00:14:50.809
cartoon. Jimmy Neutron. I didn’t watch it. I

00:14:50.809 –> 00:14:52.490
didn’t grow up with it. It doesn’t resonate with

00:14:52.490 –> 00:14:54.809
me, so I will not be voting for it. I don’t know

00:14:54.809 –> 00:14:57.230
what kind of following it has out there in general.

00:14:57.509 –> 00:14:59.789
I probably out of the three other ones, the American

00:14:59.789 –> 00:15:01.850
Dad, Aqua Teen, Hunger Force and Archer, I will

00:15:01.850 –> 00:15:04.110
probably vote for Archer. I don’t know if it

00:15:04.110 –> 00:15:06.620
will. even come close to making the list, but

00:15:06.620 –> 00:15:11.240
that’s just something I enjoyed in my 30s, probably

00:15:11.240 –> 00:15:15.500
20s and 30s a little bit more. It was different

00:15:15.500 –> 00:15:17.659
for me than I feel like American Dad was too

00:15:17.659 –> 00:15:23.679
much like a clone of Family Guy slash a few other

00:15:23.679 –> 00:15:26.440
shows that were all coming out in the same vein.

00:15:26.820 –> 00:15:29.279
So I don’t know if I would have enough room for

00:15:29.279 –> 00:15:30.740
it, even though I have enjoyed the episodes of

00:15:30.740 –> 00:15:32.720
American Dad that I have seen. Steve, what do

00:15:32.720 –> 00:15:40.570
you think about this set of five? So I believe

00:15:40.570 –> 00:15:44.789
the last time that we did this, I voted for Aqua

00:15:44.789 –> 00:15:47.750
Teen Hunger Force specifically out of these five.

00:15:48.990 –> 00:15:52.070
I don’t know if I would vote for it again. And

00:15:52.070 –> 00:15:55.889
I say that because it kind of it did well when

00:15:55.889 –> 00:15:58.389
it came out. And it was at the time it was still

00:15:58.389 –> 00:16:00.789
kind of recent. It was on Adult Swim. It was,

00:16:00.789 –> 00:16:02.710
you know, one of those other shows with Archer

00:16:02.710 –> 00:16:09.419
late at night. And while I loved it at the time,

00:16:09.539 –> 00:16:13.799
I don’t think it stands the test of time. I think

00:16:13.799 –> 00:16:15.679
it kind of just fizzled out. It was kind of like

00:16:15.679 –> 00:16:20.500
that early kind of shock value content on Adult

00:16:20.500 –> 00:16:23.580
Swim. And then it kind of was replaced by Venture

00:16:23.580 –> 00:16:26.220
Brothers and Archer and C -Lab and some other

00:16:26.220 –> 00:16:30.279
different stuff. I don’t foresee me voting for

00:16:30.279 –> 00:16:34.480
any of these, to be honest. based on the amount

00:16:34.480 –> 00:16:36.399
of other new shows that have kind of appeared

00:16:36.399 –> 00:16:38.440
and some of the other ones that I didn’t hit

00:16:38.440 –> 00:16:40.460
the first time, some anime that I’ve kind of

00:16:40.460 –> 00:16:43.460
gotten into or watched over the last, you know,

00:16:43.460 –> 00:16:49.559
couple years, I can make the case for Avatar

00:16:49.559 –> 00:16:52.659
The Last Airbender and possibly Jimmy Neutron.

00:16:54.039 –> 00:16:55.899
Myself, I won’t be voting for them, but I could

00:16:55.899 –> 00:16:57.919
see like, for instance, like my kids or something

00:16:57.919 –> 00:17:01.759
voting for those. uh as opposed to me but yeah

00:17:01.759 –> 00:17:06.160
in american dad it’s it’s kind of family guy

00:17:06.160 –> 00:17:08.319
light like i would rather vote for family guy

00:17:08.319 –> 00:17:10.900
than vote for that so that’s again another one

00:17:10.900 –> 00:17:12.740
of those things where the the the vote probably

00:17:12.740 –> 00:17:15.799
gets split based on you know either the creator

00:17:15.799 –> 00:17:18.440
or the type of show or you know the genre or

00:17:18.440 –> 00:17:21.299
you know just things in general yeah another

00:17:21.299 –> 00:17:23.339
thing that we’ll reference a couple times today

00:17:23.339 –> 00:17:25.559
is we did look at some lists to help us form

00:17:25.559 –> 00:17:29.240
these 50 for each one we did some some pod not

00:17:29.240 –> 00:17:31.019
some podcast records but we did some discussions

00:17:31.019 –> 00:17:33.640
online with it we looked at some lists we talked

00:17:33.640 –> 00:17:35.920
to ai a little bit we did a multitude of different

00:17:35.920 –> 00:17:38.200
things i even had dan look it over to see if

00:17:38.200 –> 00:17:39.799
he thought we were missing anything specifically

00:17:39.799 –> 00:17:43.140
and so we part of that was looking at some various

00:17:43.140 –> 00:17:46.259
lists online the ign list our previous list and

00:17:46.259 –> 00:17:48.839
tv guide and some other websites and stuff have

00:17:48.839 –> 00:17:52.480
done lists that they’ve ranked 50 or 100 animated

00:17:52.480 –> 00:17:55.420
shows of all time so we Did look at that. When

00:17:55.420 –> 00:17:57.859
it came to those lists, Avatar was on seven of

00:17:57.859 –> 00:18:00.119
the nine we looked at. Aqua Teen Hunger Force

00:18:00.119 –> 00:18:02.980
was on four. Archer was on three. Jimmy Neutron

00:18:02.980 –> 00:18:04.900
and American Dad were both on two. Mike, what

00:18:04.900 –> 00:18:09.259
do you think of this out of five? I don’t know.

00:18:10.599 –> 00:18:14.480
American Dad, like you guys have said, it’s kind

00:18:14.480 –> 00:18:19.940
of like Family Guy Lite. I never got into it.

00:18:20.799 –> 00:18:24.859
I’m curious about Archer because it’s FX and

00:18:24.859 –> 00:18:28.599
because of that whole era of when FX kind of

00:18:28.599 –> 00:18:31.240
started. And like I said in previous episodes,

00:18:31.279 –> 00:18:36.599
branched out into adult animation for them. Jimmy

00:18:36.599 –> 00:18:40.099
Neutron, like I’ve seen various episodes of it.

00:18:40.160 –> 00:18:44.579
I kind of like it, but I haven’t like sat down

00:18:44.579 –> 00:18:51.430
to watch it, watch it. But I don’t know. I don’t

00:18:51.430 –> 00:18:54.829
know if like any of these, like Steve said, would

00:18:54.829 –> 00:18:58.710
like, am I screaming to put any of these on my

00:18:58.710 –> 00:19:04.109
list? No, but if I like, if I give Archer the

00:19:04.109 –> 00:19:06.210
five episode rule and I watched the first five

00:19:06.210 –> 00:19:09.190
episodes and I come away at the end of the first

00:19:09.190 –> 00:19:11.990
five and be like, okay, I can kind of see maybe

00:19:11.990 –> 00:19:15.009
it goes in the eighties or the seventies. Maybe

00:19:15.009 –> 00:19:18.809
it’ll make my list. But at this point in time,

00:19:19.799 –> 00:19:24.539
Not likely. I will be shocked if Avatar doesn’t

00:19:24.539 –> 00:19:27.460
make the list. Out of the 12 that were on our

00:19:27.460 –> 00:19:28.759
original list that we’re going to cover today,

00:19:28.900 –> 00:19:32.339
it is the second highest we rated one. So having

00:19:32.339 –> 00:19:35.420
this one at 36, it would be a long drop for it

00:19:35.420 –> 00:19:37.400
to not make the countdown. So I would anticipate

00:19:37.400 –> 00:19:40.680
that it might not be as high as 36, but I think

00:19:40.680 –> 00:19:43.099
it will be on there. The other ones I think are

00:19:43.099 –> 00:19:45.119
all fighting uphill. It is disappointment in

00:19:45.119 –> 00:19:49.990
15 years if it doesn’t make it. The rest, I think,

00:19:49.990 –> 00:19:51.829
are fighting an uphill battle. So, all right.

00:19:54.809 –> 00:19:57.869
One meddling Batman I could destroy easily. But

00:19:57.869 –> 00:20:00.289
where did this other one come from? Which other

00:20:00.289 –> 00:20:03.890
planets support humanoid life? Ran, Thanagar,

00:20:04.309 –> 00:20:09.309
Earth? Earth. Yes. Where with Rodan in the atmosphere,

00:20:09.470 –> 00:20:11.230
someone from Earth would have incredible power

00:20:11.230 –> 00:20:16.130
on Zoradar. I wrote a headline about what you

00:20:16.130 –> 00:20:19.819
did today. I understand how you feel. Do you?

00:20:20.500 –> 00:20:23.319
I wouldn’t like it either if an alien with superpowers

00:20:23.319 –> 00:20:26.200
came to Earth to do my job. That makes me feel

00:20:26.200 –> 00:20:30.559
a lot better. I knew that. Man the ears. Full

00:20:30.559 –> 00:20:40.180
speed ahead. Whoa! I wish Cliff would have a

00:20:40.180 –> 00:20:43.779
sleep belt. Slow down, big guy. School’s almost

00:20:43.779 –> 00:20:47.250
out, Cleo. I want to see Emily Elizabeth. That

00:20:47.250 –> 00:20:50.630
was too easy. Last, then. First, they refuse

00:20:50.630 –> 00:20:53.109
to stop ice cream trucks for any kids. Then,

00:20:53.170 –> 00:20:55.470
they lock all the soft -server Wayne Code storage

00:20:55.470 –> 00:20:59.130
so they can achieve their ultimate goal. A super

00:20:59.130 –> 00:21:02.890
-huge ice cream party with no kids! Get out!

00:21:03.170 –> 00:21:07.829
Last! No! Party! Party, party, party! Party,

00:21:07.930 –> 00:21:10.569
party, party! Knock it off! You can’t go to that

00:21:10.569 –> 00:21:13.109
insidious party! There won’t be any kids allowed!

00:21:25.919 –> 00:21:30.299
George got more and more excited until the show

00:21:30.299 –> 00:21:33.700
began. So for the next set of five, be interested

00:21:33.700 –> 00:21:35.799
to hear you guys take. We have once again, one

00:21:35.799 –> 00:21:39.460
show that appeared on our top 100 list, and we

00:21:39.460 –> 00:21:41.319
have two of the other shows that didn’t even

00:21:41.319 –> 00:21:43.900
get a vote. And then two shows that just missed

00:21:43.900 –> 00:21:45.440
the countdown. So I’m interested to hear you

00:21:45.440 –> 00:21:48.579
guys take. So we have Batman and the Brave and

00:21:48.579 –> 00:21:51.380
the Bold from 2008. That was on our original

00:21:51.380 –> 00:21:55.450
list at number 71. We have Ben 10 from 2005.

00:21:55.589 –> 00:21:59.089
That just missed. It was 120 last time. We have

00:21:59.089 –> 00:22:02.390
Clifford the Big Red Dog. We have Codename Kids

00:22:02.390 –> 00:22:07.789
Next Door from 2002. That was number 159 on our

00:22:07.789 –> 00:22:09.970
original list. And then we have Curious George.

00:22:10.009 –> 00:22:11.769
Curious George and Clifford the Big Red Dog did

00:22:11.769 –> 00:22:15.650
not receive any votes last time. A lot of people

00:22:15.650 –> 00:22:18.509
did not like voting for the shows aimed towards

00:22:18.509 –> 00:22:22.089
a younger audience, it seemed like. So Batman,

00:22:22.170 –> 00:22:24.670
Brave and Bold, Ben 10, Clifford, Codename, Kids

00:22:24.670 –> 00:22:28.509
Next Door, and Curious George. Just so has it

00:22:28.509 –> 00:22:30.769
that the only two that I’ve seen are Clifford

00:22:30.769 –> 00:22:33.509
and Curious George. So I don’t know anything

00:22:33.509 –> 00:22:35.869
about Ben 10 or all of the other series that

00:22:35.869 –> 00:22:37.990
came afterwards. I have never seen Kids Next

00:22:37.990 –> 00:22:40.990
Door and Batman, the Brave and the Bold, as you

00:22:40.990 –> 00:22:43.630
guys all know. I’ve not seen because I’ve never

00:22:43.630 –> 00:22:46.529
seen an episode of anything DC and Marvel until

00:22:46.529 –> 00:22:49.230
today when I watched the first three episodes

00:22:49.230 –> 00:22:52.579
of the 1967 Spider -Man. Anyways, Mike, what

00:22:52.579 –> 00:22:57.319
are your thoughts on this set of five? Curious

00:22:57.319 –> 00:23:01.839
George, weren’t there multiple series of that?

00:23:02.000 –> 00:23:03.400
Because I know originally, weren’t they books?

00:23:03.839 –> 00:23:09.700
This one’s been almost 200 episodes. Okay. So

00:23:09.700 –> 00:23:12.059
it’s been around and probably played on occasion

00:23:12.059 –> 00:23:18.019
and whatnot. Yeah. Okay. So I remember Curious

00:23:18.019 –> 00:23:22.269
George as a kid. Like, I’m surprised this wasn’t

00:23:22.269 –> 00:23:26.170
listed in our 80s episode or the pre -80s episode.

00:23:27.309 –> 00:23:31.450
Because, like I said, I remember Curious George

00:23:31.450 –> 00:23:36.730
as a kid, as a book, because Man with the Yellow

00:23:36.730 –> 00:23:39.309
Hat and all that and everything else and whatever

00:23:39.309 –> 00:23:42.170
else. But, you know, all that’s a game show from

00:23:42.170 –> 00:23:47.839
Nickelodeon. No, it’s not. All that? You don’t

00:23:47.839 –> 00:23:50.660
remember all that? Anyways, continue. Funny.

00:23:51.339 –> 00:23:55.420
Funny guy. Clifford. Clifford’s Clifford. He’s

00:23:55.420 –> 00:23:59.619
a big red dog. Who cares? I’ve never seen Ben.

00:23:59.700 –> 00:24:02.240
I’ve seen clips of Ben 10. I’ve never actually

00:24:02.240 –> 00:24:06.599
seen Ben 10. Codename kids next door. I’ve seen

00:24:06.599 –> 00:24:11.579
bits and pieces of that. I’ve seen probably 20

00:24:11.579 –> 00:24:18.279
episodes of Batman Brave and the Bold. The two

00:24:18.279 –> 00:24:26.779
or three episodes I pretty much remember is Batman

00:24:26.779 –> 00:24:30.440
of Zurin R because Kevin Conroy voiced the Batman

00:24:30.440 –> 00:24:33.339
of Zurin R character. And the other one was the

00:24:33.339 –> 00:24:36.079
fact that Paul Rubens, Pee Wee Herman, was the

00:24:36.079 –> 00:24:39.519
voice of Batmite. in the uh in in the batman

00:24:39.519 –> 00:24:41.599
episodes of that series and the reason why i

00:24:41.599 –> 00:24:43.700
said outrageous earlier was because that was

00:24:43.700 –> 00:24:47.359
aquaman’s catchphrase in that series and he said

00:24:47.359 –> 00:24:51.079
it way too damn often steve what do you think

00:24:51.079 –> 00:24:54.240
of this set of five i’ve actually seen all of

00:24:54.240 –> 00:24:57.200
these excellent I I’ve watched them all in the

00:24:57.200 –> 00:24:59.799
past and I’ve watched some more recently than

00:24:59.799 –> 00:25:01.460
others. Batman, the brave and the bold. I’ve

00:25:01.460 –> 00:25:04.480
watched more recently just because we have, you

00:25:04.480 –> 00:25:06.759
know, the Xur and our episode is of course one

00:25:06.759 –> 00:25:09.559
of my favorites just because Kevin Conroy reprises

00:25:09.559 –> 00:25:12.140
Batman on another earth. And then Clancy Brown

00:25:12.140 –> 00:25:15.859
actually is the Lex Luthor of that, that world.

00:25:16.119 –> 00:25:18.819
Yep. I’ve watched a few of them. Like I remember

00:25:18.819 –> 00:25:22.259
pretty early on in key cast radios history. We,

00:25:23.279 –> 00:25:28.140
Uh, or I should say I was given, um, some DVDs

00:25:28.140 –> 00:25:30.359
for the brave and the bold. And I introduced,

00:25:30.420 –> 00:25:33.299
that was like my first introduction of it to

00:25:33.299 –> 00:25:36.119
my son back in the day, because I was like, Oh,

00:25:36.140 –> 00:25:38.319
it’s, it’s pretty, it’s a pretty mellow Batman.

00:25:38.500 –> 00:25:41.839
It’s very colorful. It’s very, you know, I felt

00:25:41.839 –> 00:25:44.940
like it was safe, but it was also entertaining

00:25:44.940 –> 00:25:47.059
because there were a lot of funny, funny moments

00:25:47.059 –> 00:25:49.640
in it. I I’ve watched a handful of it here or

00:25:49.640 –> 00:25:52.240
there. Uh, but it’s, it’s overall pretty enjoyable.

00:25:53.000 –> 00:25:57.119
Ben 10, I watched the original run, not the more

00:25:57.119 –> 00:26:01.440
recent variations of the series where it’s got

00:26:01.440 –> 00:26:04.700
new subtitles and different voice actors and

00:26:04.700 –> 00:26:07.640
all the other ones. I watched the original one

00:26:07.640 –> 00:26:11.140
and I found it very interesting. That’s what

00:26:11.140 –> 00:26:13.839
this is, right? The 2005 run is the original

00:26:13.839 –> 00:26:17.680
run, right? Yeah. It’s on the sheet that way.

00:26:17.960 –> 00:26:20.200
But yeah, so I watched that one and it was a

00:26:20.200 –> 00:26:24.670
lot of fun to watch. just this kid kind of essentially

00:26:24.670 –> 00:26:28.210
power rangering it up with instead of turning

00:26:28.210 –> 00:26:30.349
into a ranger he became different aliens and

00:26:30.349 –> 00:26:33.910
he had to skill up to get to get the different

00:26:33.910 –> 00:26:37.569
variations clifford it’s obviously a play on

00:26:37.569 –> 00:26:41.829
the the books so if if you’ve read the books

00:26:41.829 –> 00:26:44.910
you get the gist of the show my kids watched

00:26:44.910 –> 00:26:49.509
that back in the day too i’m sure i saw it when

00:26:49.509 –> 00:26:52.609
they were younger Code Name Kids Next Door was

00:26:52.609 –> 00:26:57.190
a Cartoon Network show that, you know, they had

00:26:57.190 –> 00:27:00.990
Clubhouse and they were basically secret agents.

00:27:01.670 –> 00:27:04.069
And then Curious George, again, if you’ve seen

00:27:04.069 –> 00:27:06.750
the books and, you know, of course, Frank Walker’s

00:27:06.750 –> 00:27:11.750
George. So it’s it’s another one of those ones

00:27:11.750 –> 00:27:14.890
my kids enjoyed, too. I was too old for it, but

00:27:14.890 –> 00:27:18.079
it’s it was not annoying. Does something like

00:27:18.079 –> 00:27:19.819
Batman the Brave and the Bold get your vote this

00:27:19.819 –> 00:27:22.000
time, or do you think it’s not going to make

00:27:22.000 –> 00:27:24.819
it? I personally would vote for it just because

00:27:24.819 –> 00:27:28.859
I enjoyed it. It doesn’t mean I won’t vote for

00:27:28.859 –> 00:27:31.519
the other ones from the 90s. I would vote for

00:27:31.519 –> 00:27:35.859
this. I think Ben 10 would be a strong contender

00:27:35.859 –> 00:27:38.460
just because it’s kind of like Batman and kind

00:27:38.460 –> 00:27:40.079
of like Turtles and where they’ve had various

00:27:40.079 –> 00:27:43.180
iterations and reboots. So I think it’s deserving.

00:27:43.920 –> 00:27:47.019
Curious George is kind of that mainstay. Kind

00:27:47.019 –> 00:27:50.299
of shows up kids next door while I enjoyed it

00:27:50.299 –> 00:27:52.599
at the time. I don’t know if anybody would even

00:27:52.599 –> 00:27:54.680
know what that is now. I’d have to give kids

00:27:54.680 –> 00:27:57.619
next door the five episode treatment before I

00:27:57.619 –> 00:28:00.740
could make a decision. And again, for me, making

00:28:00.740 –> 00:28:03.900
a decision means it’s going to end up somewhere

00:28:03.900 –> 00:28:09.259
in my 80s or 70s section of my top 100 list.

00:28:10.019 –> 00:28:11.980
I do think this section out of all the other

00:28:11.980 –> 00:28:14.200
episodes that we’ve done, we’ll see the most

00:28:14.200 –> 00:28:16.240
movement. Like if I track that for some way.

00:28:16.700 –> 00:28:19.339
Some other ones may slide a little bit one way.

00:28:19.819 –> 00:28:21.579
I think this one, you’re either going to see

00:28:21.579 –> 00:28:24.660
ones that jump extremely higher than they got

00:28:24.660 –> 00:28:27.000
the last time, like something that got voted

00:28:27.000 –> 00:28:30.519
in the 200th or 160th spot that somehow makes

00:28:30.519 –> 00:28:32.079
the countdown now because we’ve had more years

00:28:32.079 –> 00:28:35.720
to digest it, or something that could be something

00:28:35.720 –> 00:28:37.480
that falls off. We have Batman and the Brave

00:28:37.480 –> 00:28:39.180
and the Bold was at 71. Does it stick around

00:28:39.180 –> 00:28:41.240
or does it not make the next countdown? But then

00:28:41.240 –> 00:28:43.660
you have Ben 10, which was 120. Does it gain

00:28:43.660 –> 00:28:46.200
enough ground to… crack the top 100 this time

00:28:46.200 –> 00:28:48.920
around with more years or does it not so i mean

00:28:48.920 –> 00:28:50.180
i think this one we’re going to see a little

00:28:50.180 –> 00:28:53.740
bit of a fluctuation a hundred percent so it’d

00:28:53.740 –> 00:28:56.460
be interesting to track that as it goes yeah

00:28:56.460 –> 00:28:58.799
absolutely and it’s like you like you’ve said

00:28:58.799 –> 00:29:01.960
before in the previous episodes in the pre -80s

00:29:01.960 –> 00:29:06.519
80s and 90s some of these we don’t like you just

00:29:06.519 –> 00:29:08.559
said with code name kids next door and like steve

00:29:08.559 –> 00:29:11.700
said who really knows what what it is unless

00:29:11.700 –> 00:29:15.420
you experienced it when it came out earlier in

00:29:15.420 –> 00:29:18.940
the 2000s some of these cartoons even though

00:29:18.940 –> 00:29:22.160
they were what year did that come out uh 2002

00:29:22.160 –> 00:29:26.059
for code name okay so that okay so 2002 some

00:29:26.059 –> 00:29:29.539
people may have missed that cartoon that haven’t

00:29:29.539 –> 00:29:33.180
seen it or whatever right i see code name though

00:29:33.180 –> 00:29:37.000
being it was 159 originally i think to steve’s

00:29:37.000 –> 00:29:40.599
point i see that one actually doing worse because

00:29:40.599 –> 00:29:43.500
or having a very little chance of cracking the

00:29:43.500 –> 00:29:45.720
top 100 because it was 159 and then there hasn’t

00:29:45.720 –> 00:29:48.660
been anything to keep that in our yeah memories

00:29:48.660 –> 00:29:50.839
or keep that in like the top of mind consciousness

00:29:50.839 –> 00:29:54.200
whereas ben 10 like steve said we’ve had yeah

00:29:54.200 –> 00:29:56.640
i feel like at least a half a dozen other yeah

00:29:56.640 –> 00:30:00.279
spinoffs so well i mean with the different spinoffs

00:30:00.279 –> 00:30:03.599
of ben 10 i can see that kind of top of mind

00:30:04.119 –> 00:30:06.460
yeah codename kids next door i can see definitely

00:30:06.460 –> 00:30:08.900
disappearing because i i had to stop and think

00:30:08.900 –> 00:30:10.619
about it for a minute i’m like did i ever watch

00:30:10.619 –> 00:30:13.539
that because it was on my list of of like revisits

00:30:13.539 –> 00:30:15.940
and i’m like oh i remember this show because

00:30:15.940 –> 00:30:18.000
i i watched a few clips of it and i’m like yeah

00:30:18.000 –> 00:30:20.180
i remember this now and that’s one of those things

00:30:20.180 –> 00:30:23.559
where like we always say sometimes we always

00:30:23.559 –> 00:30:25.579
say this on altered geeks sometimes we say it

00:30:25.579 –> 00:30:27.359
on geek cast radio sometimes we say it on all

00:30:27.359 –> 00:30:30.619
things transformers not every, sometimes we’re

00:30:30.619 –> 00:30:33.519
sitting on street 2009, not everything needs

00:30:33.519 –> 00:30:37.960
a new iteration. Sometimes you just search out

00:30:37.960 –> 00:30:41.000
something, find it, enjoy it for what it was.

00:30:41.420 –> 00:30:44.519
And I think code name, Ken’s next door is, is

00:30:44.519 –> 00:30:48.779
one of those. I think it like, cause you can’t

00:30:48.779 –> 00:30:51.900
just keep having the same thing over and over

00:30:51.900 –> 00:30:54.019
and over again, just told in a different way.

00:30:54.799 –> 00:30:57.619
Like, yeah. I think they needed a better name,

00:30:57.660 –> 00:30:59.359
too, because we were struggling to even say the

00:30:59.359 –> 00:31:07.720
name of the show. Well, I mean, yeah. I think

00:31:07.720 –> 00:31:11.579
what they used to do is they used to actually

00:31:11.579 –> 00:31:14.400
abbreviate it after. I don’t even know how many

00:31:14.400 –> 00:31:16.779
seasons it had, but I think they used to just

00:31:16.779 –> 00:31:19.900
call it Codename KND. I think that’s really what

00:31:19.900 –> 00:31:22.799
they abbreviated it to. Yeah, exactly. All right,

00:31:22.819 –> 00:31:24.339
so that does it for the A’s, the B’s, and the

00:31:24.339 –> 00:31:30.450
C’s. Let’s see what we have next. I think I should

00:31:30.450 –> 00:31:33.829
tell them. Why? Parents don’t listen. Even worse,

00:31:33.930 –> 00:31:36.250
they don’t understand. Why can’t they accept

00:31:36.250 –> 00:31:39.950
me for who I am? Sam, I’m talking about my powers,

00:31:40.049 –> 00:31:45.509
my problems. Death Note? As in a notebook of

00:31:45.509 –> 00:31:52.730
death? How do you use it? A human whose name

00:31:52.730 –> 00:31:59.279
is written in this notebook. Shall die. Hello,

00:31:59.440 –> 00:32:03.460
folks. It’s me, the Conductor. Today, we travel

00:32:03.460 –> 00:32:07.420
to Troodon Town for a spooky visit to their haunted

00:32:07.420 –> 00:32:11.339
roundhouse. So come on along with me on the dinosaur

00:32:11.339 –> 00:32:17.019
train. All aboard! Hola, soy Dora, and this is

00:32:17.019 –> 00:32:21.779
Boots. We’re in the snowy forest. The Snow Princess

00:32:21.779 –> 00:32:26.220
needs our help. And here is our greatest triumph.

00:32:26.960 –> 00:32:30.259
What is it again? It’s a rocket captain. Not

00:32:30.259 –> 00:32:33.140
just a rocket cadet. This one runs on the same

00:32:33.140 –> 00:32:38.339
fuel. We do air. That’s what we breathe. Captain.

00:32:38.559 –> 00:32:42.940
Oh, right. A little variety here with the five

00:32:42.940 –> 00:32:45.380
shows in this section. We have Danny Phantom

00:32:45.380 –> 00:32:50.930
came out in 2004. It. was voted on last time

00:32:50.930 –> 00:32:52.809
just not enough to make the top 100 it came in

00:32:52.809 –> 00:32:56.069
at number 228th place so it has a lot of work

00:32:56.069 –> 00:32:58.170
to do if it wants to crack it this time we had

00:32:58.170 –> 00:33:02.410
death note from 2006 which was 72nd on our original

00:33:02.410 –> 00:33:05.670
top 100 dinosaur train did not receive any votes

00:33:05.670 –> 00:33:07.750
last time it did come out in 2009 though right

00:33:07.750 –> 00:33:10.789
before we were doing this we have dora the explorer

00:33:10.789 –> 00:33:15.289
from the year 2000 that came in 204th last time

00:33:15.789 –> 00:33:18.549
And we have Duck Dodgers from 2003. That came

00:33:18.549 –> 00:33:21.890
in 330th last time. It’s got a lot of work to

00:33:21.890 –> 00:33:25.029
do. So Danny Phantom, Death Note, Dinosaur Train,

00:33:25.309 –> 00:33:28.289
Dora the Explorer, and Duck Dodgers. Dora the

00:33:28.289 –> 00:33:30.349
Explorer has been around for what seems like

00:33:30.349 –> 00:33:33.369
forever. I think they still have more series

00:33:33.369 –> 00:33:35.309
coming out and they’re doing more episodes and

00:33:35.309 –> 00:33:37.269
they spun off to Diego and some other stuff.

00:33:37.529 –> 00:33:39.710
Obviously, it is aimed a little bit more towards

00:33:39.710 –> 00:33:41.769
a younger audience, but I think for the last

00:33:41.769 –> 00:33:46.519
25 years, it has been in the… Like if you go

00:33:46.519 –> 00:33:49.220
to Universal Studios, like you can see Dora,

00:33:49.240 –> 00:33:51.960
the character still walking around. I’m pretty

00:33:51.960 –> 00:33:55.019
sure she’s one of them. And Dinosaur Train is

00:33:55.019 –> 00:33:57.359
also aimed towards that same age group. I think

00:33:57.359 –> 00:33:59.460
Dinosaur Train is a pretty good show. But again,

00:33:59.579 –> 00:34:03.119
a lot of the early elementary type demographic

00:34:03.119 –> 00:34:07.880
shows don’t fare super well. Death Note. I don’t

00:34:07.880 –> 00:34:11.139
know. It came in 72nd last time. I haven’t seen

00:34:11.139 –> 00:34:13.329
it. I don’t know if it has gained ground or if

00:34:13.329 –> 00:34:16.869
it will fade more. This is on my list of to watch

00:34:16.869 –> 00:34:19.710
shows. And then I feel like Danny Phantom, it

00:34:19.710 –> 00:34:22.070
comes into just how old you were with some of

00:34:22.070 –> 00:34:24.730
these shows. Like, I feel like the Danny Phantoms

00:34:24.730 –> 00:34:28.050
and the Ben 10s and the a few that we’ll get

00:34:28.050 –> 00:34:29.630
to in a little bit all kind of came out in that

00:34:29.630 –> 00:34:31.510
same time period. So which ones resonated the

00:34:31.510 –> 00:34:34.070
most with you? And I’ve never seen Duck Dodgers,

00:34:34.130 –> 00:34:36.849
so I can’t speak to Duck Dodgers. Mike, what

00:34:36.849 –> 00:34:40.550
do you think of this? It hurts my. You call yourself

00:34:40.550 –> 00:34:43.570
a classic animation fan? You call yourself a

00:34:43.570 –> 00:34:44.949
Looney Tunes? Duck Dodgers came out in 2003,

00:34:45.130 –> 00:34:46.989
and I have never called myself a Looney Tunes.

00:34:47.110 –> 00:34:49.510
I’ve never called myself a Looney Tunes aficionado.

00:34:50.369 –> 00:34:53.710
It’s not classic. It’s from the 2000s. Yeah,

00:34:53.829 –> 00:34:57.650
I don’t care. But it is so classic. No. Okay,

00:34:57.809 –> 00:35:02.090
look. So technically, it’s a modern version of

00:35:02.090 –> 00:35:06.730
a classic Daffy Duck cartoon. So Duck Dodgers.

00:35:07.660 –> 00:35:10.420
originated in the original looney tunes they

00:35:10.420 –> 00:35:13.380
did duck dodgers in the 24th and a half century

00:35:13.380 –> 00:35:18.440
in the original how it got to number 330 on the

00:35:18.440 –> 00:35:23.519
last countdown funny guy voted for it funny at

00:35:23.519 –> 00:35:26.340
this point it just might make my number one uh

00:35:26.340 –> 00:35:29.880
but i’m not i’m not kidding i i actually have

00:35:29.880 –> 00:35:34.900
uh over on my on my uh table there i have a funko

00:35:34.900 –> 00:35:38.880
soda figurines of duck dodgers and space cadet

00:35:38.880 –> 00:35:43.400
daffy and porky as the characters anyway so originally

00:35:43.400 –> 00:35:48.079
in looney tunes there were episodes like i said

00:35:48.079 –> 00:35:52.000
duck dodgers in the 20s okay fine so in 2003

00:35:52.000 –> 00:35:56.659
spike brant and oh what’s the other guy’s name

00:35:56.659 –> 00:36:00.500
tony curtis i think they brought it back as its

00:36:00.500 –> 00:36:03.360
own show as its own thing and they basically

00:36:03.360 –> 00:36:07.840
just instead of having it as a short around the

00:36:07.840 –> 00:36:11.559
rest of the Looney Tunes, they just were like

00:36:11.559 –> 00:36:15.219
duck Dodgers. We’re just going to do that. And

00:36:15.219 –> 00:36:17.800
that’s what every show is his space adventures.

00:36:17.880 –> 00:36:19.719
And he’s going to go up against the Martian queen.

00:36:19.840 –> 00:36:23.079
And the Martian queen is voiced by Tia Carrera,

00:36:23.199 –> 00:36:27.440
Sandra from, from Wayne’s world and everything

00:36:27.440 –> 00:36:32.909
else she’s done in the, in her career. Or Cassandra

00:36:32.909 –> 00:36:34.510
from Wayne’s World, I should say, not Sandra.

00:36:35.590 –> 00:36:39.710
But, yeah, no, this show was just so hilarious.

00:36:41.409 –> 00:36:45.130
Absolutely. It’s so fun. What about the other

00:36:45.130 –> 00:36:46.690
four? We know you’re voting for Duck Dodgers.

00:36:46.710 –> 00:36:49.269
What about the other four? So, Dora the Explorer,

00:36:49.610 –> 00:36:52.309
obviously, I was way too old for it. However,

00:36:52.610 –> 00:36:55.269
I had a couple of friends at the time who had

00:36:55.269 –> 00:36:59.360
a… couple of kids who were around that same

00:36:59.360 –> 00:37:02.659
age so i still remember swipe or no swiping and

00:37:02.659 –> 00:37:05.960
all that but i was way too old for that at that

00:37:05.960 –> 00:37:09.559
point i’ve never seen dinosaur train never seen

00:37:09.559 –> 00:37:13.179
death note i’ve seen episodes here and there

00:37:13.179 –> 00:37:15.920
danny phantom i know danny phantom is still super

00:37:15.920 –> 00:37:20.480
popular now uh but uh because i know a lot of

00:37:20.480 –> 00:37:23.440
people that still like it but i don’t know for

00:37:23.440 –> 00:37:26.340
me it was it’s all about dark dodgers All right,

00:37:26.360 –> 00:37:29.840
Steve, agree or disagree? I don’t foresee me

00:37:29.840 –> 00:37:32.659
voting for really anything on this particular

00:37:32.659 –> 00:37:35.900
block. This was around the time that I just didn’t

00:37:35.900 –> 00:37:40.699
give a rip about anything. I was working. Danny

00:37:40.699 –> 00:37:44.940
Phantom, again, it came out. I graduated. It

00:37:44.940 –> 00:37:47.880
wasn’t something on. Plus, it was Nickelodeon.

00:37:48.860 –> 00:37:52.139
Again, I’m not a huge Nickelodeon animation fan.

00:37:52.239 –> 00:37:53.920
I’ve discovered while we’ve been going through

00:37:53.920 –> 00:37:56.889
these lists. I am very much a Warner Brothers.

00:37:57.510 –> 00:38:02.530
I’m very much a like Hasbro production. I’m very

00:38:02.530 –> 00:38:08.070
much anime. And so it or Marvel, but Warner Brothers

00:38:08.070 –> 00:38:11.889
is probably the biggest one for me. And this

00:38:11.889 –> 00:38:16.250
isn’t it. And Death Note, it’s too dark for my

00:38:16.250 –> 00:38:20.989
my personal tastes for an anime. Like I, I guess

00:38:20.989 –> 00:38:24.130
I go for a little bit different aesthetic. Like,

00:38:24.130 –> 00:38:26.010
I could see some of the other ones that are coming

00:38:26.010 –> 00:38:29.230
down the pipe being more interested in when I

00:38:29.230 –> 00:38:32.289
actually get to watch and do the play, you know,

00:38:32.309 –> 00:38:34.809
watch through. This one, I tried to stomach it,

00:38:34.829 –> 00:38:37.929
and I was like, eh, I can’t get into it. Dinosaur

00:38:37.929 –> 00:38:40.690
Train, my kids watched it. Again, it’s a great

00:38:40.690 –> 00:38:44.369
show. Ian James Corlett is the conductor, but

00:38:44.369 –> 00:38:47.250
it’s made for kids. Like, it’s very much along

00:38:47.250 –> 00:38:50.130
the Dory the Explorer and Clifford and Curious

00:38:50.130 –> 00:38:53.789
George realm. Dora, again, they’ve made multiple

00:38:53.789 –> 00:38:56.889
iterations of this. Not something I would put

00:38:56.889 –> 00:38:59.250
on my personal list, but maybe somebody younger

00:38:59.250 –> 00:39:04.909
might. Duck Dodgers. I’ve seen parts of this

00:39:04.909 –> 00:39:07.869
one. I’ve seen parts of most of these, actually.

00:39:08.949 –> 00:39:11.190
You can’t watch a Warner Brothers cartoon without

00:39:11.190 –> 00:39:13.650
a Warner Brothers ball cap. I would prefer Looney

00:39:13.650 –> 00:39:16.139
Tunes if I’m going to watch. You can’t watch

00:39:16.139 –> 00:39:18.199
a Warner Brothers cartoon without a Warner Brothers

00:39:18.199 –> 00:39:20.559
catalog. Come on, man. You got to at least give

00:39:20.559 –> 00:39:23.300
it the five episode try. I did. I’ve watched

00:39:23.300 –> 00:39:28.420
all of these. They’re just not. It’s it’s a Daffy

00:39:28.420 –> 00:39:30.300
Duck show. Like, I don’t I don’t really get into

00:39:30.300 –> 00:39:34.260
Daffy Duck. Bugs Bunny, yeah, I’m all over it.

00:39:34.320 –> 00:39:39.219
I enjoy it for the space aspect. I did learn

00:39:39.219 –> 00:39:41.559
Marvin the Martian from watching. I remember

00:39:41.559 –> 00:39:43.719
when it came out because I did watch this one

00:39:43.719 –> 00:39:46.019
and I’ve watched all of these recently out of

00:39:46.019 –> 00:39:48.139
this block. None of them are going to make my

00:39:48.139 –> 00:39:51.000
top 100. I think, and I could be wrong, I’m going

00:39:51.000 –> 00:39:53.019
to have to do some research next time I go on

00:39:53.019 –> 00:39:57.780
mute. I think this was Joe Alasky’s last performance

00:39:57.780 –> 00:40:02.239
before he passed. I think. Way to bring it down

00:40:02.239 –> 00:40:05.599
a notch, Mike. I’m just saying. I’m just saying.

00:40:06.139 –> 00:40:09.059
I will have to be putting Death Note on my watch

00:40:09.059 –> 00:40:10.780
list. That is something I will have to watch

00:40:10.780 –> 00:40:13.760
in order to determine it. I can’t really see

00:40:13.760 –> 00:40:16.019
myself voting for any of the other ones, though.

00:40:16.960 –> 00:40:19.840
But to see how the rest of the panel votes when

00:40:19.840 –> 00:40:23.219
it comes time for that. Bluefist? His name is

00:40:23.219 –> 00:40:26.510
Blue Regard Q Kazoo, and you know it! Terrence!

00:40:26.590 –> 00:40:29.250
Right, right, or Bluey, Blue the Blue Dude, El

00:40:29.250 –> 00:40:32.969
Bluterino, or hey, how about just Blue? But come

00:40:32.969 –> 00:40:37.949
on, man, Bluefist? How stupid can you get? He

00:40:37.949 –> 00:40:40.050
doesn’t need any work. That’s Edward Elric, the

00:40:40.050 –> 00:40:42.949
full metal alchemist. He’s been a celebrity around

00:40:42.949 –> 00:40:45.989
this city. They say he’s a real child prodigy.

00:40:48.300 –> 00:40:52.360
Last chance, Skeletor. If you surrender now,

00:40:52.579 –> 00:40:55.619
you’ll be placed in prison and treated with mercy.

00:40:56.260 –> 00:41:03.719
Mercy? What a ridiculous concept. Wow! Looks

00:41:03.719 –> 00:41:07.019
like we got a full house. Order the chips. So

00:41:07.019 –> 00:41:11.420
you’re the brat, huh? Fifty years have passed,

00:41:11.519 –> 00:41:16.159
and I have grown old. And if you’re this old…

00:41:23.300 –> 00:41:26.519
All right, let’s keep it going here with a set

00:41:26.519 –> 00:41:28.760
of five shows that all debuted between 2000 and

00:41:28.760 –> 00:41:33.260
2004. All of these five received votes last go

00:41:33.260 –> 00:41:35.300
-around, but only one of them actually made the

00:41:35.300 –> 00:41:37.940
list. So we have Foster’s Home for Imaginary

00:41:37.940 –> 00:41:42.440
Friends from 2004. Had about 29 awards throughout

00:41:42.440 –> 00:41:45.090
the years for this one that it garnered. It was

00:41:45.090 –> 00:41:46.670
on three of the lists we looked at it, but it

00:41:46.670 –> 00:41:49.670
came in 236 last time. So it’s got some work

00:41:49.670 –> 00:41:52.889
to do. We have from 2003, Full Metal Alchemist,

00:41:53.050 –> 00:41:56.530
which was 118 on the original list. So with a

00:41:56.530 –> 00:41:59.329
few more years for people to catch up to it and

00:41:59.329 –> 00:42:01.070
some spinoffs and things of that nature, can

00:42:01.070 –> 00:42:04.070
it climb those 18 spots to crack the countdown

00:42:04.070 –> 00:42:06.190
this time? We’ll have to wait and see. We have

00:42:06.190 –> 00:42:09.449
the 2002 version of He -Man and the Masters of

00:42:09.449 –> 00:42:12.909
the Universe. This one did appear on our original

00:42:12.909 –> 00:42:16.519
list at number 50. Does it slide with more time

00:42:16.519 –> 00:42:18.780
to go and more He -Man cartoons that have been

00:42:18.780 –> 00:42:21.179
out? Or does it hold on to its spot? We’ll have

00:42:21.179 –> 00:42:22.820
to wait and see. We have the House of Mouse.

00:42:22.900 –> 00:42:25.280
Let’s talk about Disney, I guess. From 2001,

00:42:25.539 –> 00:42:29.500
that came in 228th on our original list. And

00:42:29.500 –> 00:42:33.500
219th on our original list was Inuyasha from

00:42:33.500 –> 00:42:37.059
the year 2000, which has had, I believe, 167

00:42:37.059 –> 00:42:38.940
episodes, if my count is correct. So we have

00:42:38.940 –> 00:42:41.059
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Full Metal

00:42:41.059 –> 00:42:44.570
Alchemist, He -Man from 2002. House of Mouse,

00:42:44.750 –> 00:42:48.809
and Inuyasha. I love House of Mouse. I do enjoy

00:42:48.809 –> 00:42:51.510
that show. I don’t know if I have enough room

00:42:51.510 –> 00:42:54.710
for it on my top 100. I have never seen Foster’s

00:42:54.710 –> 00:42:57.449
Home for Imaginary Friends, Full Metal Alchemist,

00:42:57.489 –> 00:43:00.949
or Inuyasha, so at least probably Full Metal

00:43:00.949 –> 00:43:03.309
Alchemist I’ll put on my watch list. I don’t

00:43:03.309 –> 00:43:06.590
know about the other two yet. The 2002 He -Man

00:43:06.590 –> 00:43:10.429
version I love. I voted for it last time. I can’t

00:43:10.429 –> 00:43:12.489
see it being number 50 this time, though. I think

00:43:12.489 –> 00:43:14.510
if it gets in, it’s getting in in the 90s or

00:43:14.510 –> 00:43:16.630
something of that nature. Just a gut feeling.

00:43:16.829 –> 00:43:18.449
But Steve, what do you think about this set of

00:43:18.449 –> 00:43:21.329
five? So this set of five, funny enough, I’d

00:43:21.329 –> 00:43:23.550
been watching a few of these today. One from

00:43:23.550 –> 00:43:28.610
this particular block, Foster’s, I did not like.

00:43:28.909 –> 00:43:32.389
I hate this animation style. And there’s a number

00:43:32.389 –> 00:43:36.610
of shows that are in this style that are going

00:43:36.610 –> 00:43:40.960
to come up. in the remainder of the, of the nominees,

00:43:41.099 –> 00:43:45.840
either today’s or the next episode. And I do

00:43:45.840 –> 00:43:48.619
not like this style. Like this, this for me is

00:43:48.619 –> 00:43:51.519
like the Wallace and Gromit, uh, claymation style

00:43:51.519 –> 00:43:53.659
thing that I just couldn’t stand in the, uh,

00:43:53.679 –> 00:43:58.059
the films. This, this is that for me here in

00:43:58.059 –> 00:44:02.239
the animated series. Like I, uh, yeah, I, that’s

00:44:02.239 –> 00:44:03.760
all I’m going to go into it. I’ve, I’ve tried

00:44:03.760 –> 00:44:05.500
watching this one and a few of the others in

00:44:05.500 –> 00:44:08.559
this style. And I just, they’re either, dry or

00:44:08.559 –> 00:44:12.619
annoying or i just hate it so and i’ve tried

00:44:12.619 –> 00:44:15.380
to go in with a clear mind it’s just it yeah

00:44:15.380 –> 00:44:18.579
uh full metal alchemist is on my list of things

00:44:18.579 –> 00:44:21.679
to watch i haven’t made it to that one yet but

00:44:21.679 –> 00:44:24.380
that is definitely on my list i have a i have

00:44:24.380 –> 00:44:27.159
a separate list of anime that i’m i’m going to

00:44:27.159 –> 00:44:30.019
go through throughout this run because there’s

00:44:30.019 –> 00:44:33.280
a number of them he man i’ve not seen enough

00:44:33.280 –> 00:44:36.340
of this but i do know that this one is much better

00:44:36.340 –> 00:44:40.510
than the original in a lot of ways. So this one

00:44:40.510 –> 00:44:43.909
is making my list more than likely. House of

00:44:43.909 –> 00:44:49.670
Mouse is, again, it’s Mickey Mouse. I don’t have

00:44:49.670 –> 00:44:54.590
anything against or for it. Possibly my kids

00:44:54.590 –> 00:44:57.710
would put it. It’s just not something I really

00:44:57.710 –> 00:45:03.210
care to list. Inuyasha, I used to watch, I think

00:45:03.210 –> 00:45:05.690
around the time that Dragon Ball Z was on Toonami.

00:45:06.379 –> 00:45:09.400
Okay. And, but I don’t remember it. So that one,

00:45:09.400 –> 00:45:11.639
I’m going to have to go back and rewatch. Uh,

00:45:11.719 –> 00:45:14.340
I do remember that David Kaye is the voice of

00:45:14.340 –> 00:45:17.619
Sashoma room, which, which is the, uh, one of

00:45:17.619 –> 00:45:19.380
the main characters of the show. And that, that

00:45:19.380 –> 00:45:22.619
was mostly why I tuned in. Right. Mike, what

00:45:22.619 –> 00:45:26.639
do you think about the set? Uh, I’ve seen bits

00:45:26.639 –> 00:45:29.239
and pieces of Foster’s home. The only character

00:45:29.239 –> 00:45:32.139
I really remember is blue, but I don’t remember

00:45:32.139 –> 00:45:34.880
much about it. I’ve never seen full alchemist,

00:45:34.880 –> 00:45:36.920
full metal alchemist. I’ve never seen a new Asia,

00:45:37.039 –> 00:45:41.139
but obviously he, man, we spent, you know, 10

00:45:41.139 –> 00:45:43.559
years going through all of it. And we spent,

00:45:43.639 –> 00:45:47.519
I don’t know, something like how many episodes

00:45:47.519 –> 00:45:51.900
does that take us for the 2002 series? 25 episodes,

00:45:52.159 –> 00:45:53.880
something like that. 15, something like that.

00:45:53.880 –> 00:45:57.300
Yeah, something like that. And good show, really.

00:45:57.420 –> 00:46:03.460
For only having 38 episodes, 39 episodes, it’s

00:46:03.460 –> 00:46:07.159
a really good show. I wish they were able to

00:46:07.159 –> 00:46:10.760
give us the actual ending that they wanted to

00:46:10.760 –> 00:46:14.860
give us. But unfortunately, they didn’t. They

00:46:14.860 –> 00:46:16.860
couldn’t because Cartoon Network were bastards

00:46:16.860 –> 00:46:21.110
back then. House of Mouse, I will, just like

00:46:21.110 –> 00:46:24.289
Duck Dodgers, I will defend all day. House of

00:46:24.289 –> 00:46:28.110
Mouse is essentially Roger Rabbit, but all Disney.

00:46:28.849 –> 00:46:31.710
And I don’t mean that to say that it’s live action.

00:46:31.750 –> 00:46:35.630
It isn’t. But it’s basically the Ink and Paint

00:46:35.630 –> 00:46:40.789
Club in animation. All Disney characters. That’s

00:46:40.789 –> 00:46:42.730
what it is. The House of Mouse. That’s what the

00:46:42.730 –> 00:46:45.590
club is called. It’s all club stuff. And what

00:46:45.590 –> 00:46:49.070
they do is. The club is the background. All of

00:46:49.070 –> 00:46:51.289
the characters come in and they watch classic

00:46:51.289 –> 00:46:55.110
Disney cartoons. So House of Mouse was 2001,

00:46:55.510 –> 00:46:58.530
right? Did I get that right without looking?

00:46:58.849 –> 00:47:02.670
Okay. House of Mouse was 2001. It was an easy

00:47:02.670 –> 00:47:06.510
way at the time for Disney Channel to, or Toon

00:47:06.510 –> 00:47:07.969
Disney at the time, because I think it was called

00:47:07.969 –> 00:47:13.809
Toon Disney at the time. to re -air their classic

00:47:13.809 –> 00:47:17.409
cartoons from the 30s, 40s, and 50s and whatever.

00:47:17.610 –> 00:47:19.369
Like all the classic Goofy cartoons, all the

00:47:19.369 –> 00:47:22.650
classic Donald cartoons in a new way. It was

00:47:22.650 –> 00:47:25.909
kind of like how the cybernetic space cube was

00:47:25.909 –> 00:47:28.730
put around the Generation 1 cartoons. I will

00:47:28.730 –> 00:47:31.289
vote for House of Mouse all day long. I will

00:47:31.289 –> 00:47:33.070
vote for He -Man and the Masters of the Universe

00:47:33.070 –> 00:47:37.159
from 2002 all day long. Absolutely. So a couple

00:47:37.159 –> 00:47:39.579
of potential shows that may be able to crack

00:47:39.579 –> 00:47:42.500
our list. We’ll have to wait and see. Does anyone

00:47:42.500 –> 00:47:44.820
have any questions that don’t have anything to

00:47:44.820 –> 00:47:47.440
do with lunatic ideas about Zim being an alien?

00:47:48.039 –> 00:47:54.679
I eat food, just like you. Most impressive. But

00:47:54.679 –> 00:47:59.940
what’s it got to do with us? I once thought I

00:47:59.940 –> 00:48:02.500
could protect the world by myself, but I was

00:48:02.500 –> 00:48:05.500
wrong. Working together, we saved the planet.

00:48:05.679 –> 00:48:08.320
And I believe that if we stayed together as a

00:48:08.320 –> 00:48:10.980
team, we would be a force that could truly work

00:48:10.980 –> 00:48:14.920
for the ideals of peace and justice. What? Like

00:48:14.920 –> 00:48:18.079
a bunch of super friends? More like a Justice

00:48:18.079 –> 00:48:21.820
League. Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?

00:48:22.579 –> 00:48:24.880
Don’t you ever wish you were down there? I’m

00:48:24.880 –> 00:48:27.719
down there all I need to be. Yes, but it’s just

00:48:27.719 –> 00:48:30.219
a job to you. I’m talking about going down there

00:48:30.219 –> 00:48:33.750
and having some fun. Maybe… Maybe with someone

00:48:33.750 –> 00:48:39.409
special. No. No dating for the Batman. It might

00:48:39.409 –> 00:48:43.670
cut into your brooding time. One. Dating within

00:48:43.670 –> 00:48:47.030
the team always leads to disaster. Two. You’re

00:48:47.030 –> 00:48:49.130
a princess from a society of immortal warriors.

00:48:49.230 –> 00:48:52.750
I’m a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues. And

00:48:52.750 –> 00:48:54.929
three. If my enemies knew I had someone special,

00:48:55.210 –> 00:48:57.309
they wouldn’t rest until they’d gotten to me

00:48:57.309 –> 00:49:04.179
through her. Next. So, time is running out, but

00:49:04.179 –> 00:49:06.780
I will not panic, KP. You’re panicking, aren’t

00:49:06.780 –> 00:49:10.079
you? Totally! Ron, why do you do this to yourself?

00:49:10.539 –> 00:49:12.760
Kim, procrastination is one of the few skills

00:49:12.760 –> 00:49:17.159
I’ve mastered. Don’t slam it. Oh, look, TV. Our

00:49:17.159 –> 00:49:20.880
next victim goes by the name of Dr. D’s. Oh,

00:49:20.880 –> 00:49:27.099
joy. Yo, what up, dog? No, it can’t be. And yet,

00:49:27.139 –> 00:49:29.260
it is. You think your skin was crawling before?

00:49:30.280 –> 00:49:33.239
Kim, are you watching? Yep, but not believing.

00:49:34.900 –> 00:49:37.539
This is Commander Kiva Andrew of the Earth Coalition.

00:49:37.800 –> 00:49:40.579
That robot is a very dangerous weapon, and I

00:49:40.579 –> 00:49:44.539
want it back. Hey, I found it. It’s mine. Finders

00:49:44.539 –> 00:49:47.920
keepers. I repeat, surrender Magus or face the

00:49:47.920 –> 00:49:51.199
consequences. I got your consequences right here.

00:49:55.400 –> 00:49:58.519
All right, for the next set of five, also some

00:49:58.519 –> 00:50:00.750
shows from the… early part of the decade appearing

00:50:00.750 –> 00:50:04.510
here we have from 2001 invader zim it appeared

00:50:04.510 –> 00:50:06.610
on four of the nine lists that we looked at actually

00:50:06.610 –> 00:50:08.829
which is the highest anything has been since

00:50:08.829 –> 00:50:12.710
avatar and aquatine hunger force so it does have

00:50:12.710 –> 00:50:15.590
some love out there it was 173rd on our original

00:50:15.590 –> 00:50:19.090
list we have justice league from 2001 which came

00:50:19.090 –> 00:50:21.849
in at number 17 on our original list and appeared

00:50:21.849 –> 00:50:24.449
on six of the nine lists we looked at this next

00:50:24.449 –> 00:50:27.000
one did not receive any votes for the original

00:50:27.000 –> 00:50:28.960
countdown because we combined these two, but

00:50:28.960 –> 00:50:30.539
we’re not doing that this time. So we have Justice

00:50:30.539 –> 00:50:33.800
League Unlimited from 2004, appeared on two of

00:50:33.800 –> 00:50:35.900
the nine lists that we looked at. We have Kim

00:50:35.900 –> 00:50:38.380
Possible, just missed the countdown last time,

00:50:38.400 –> 00:50:41.579
came in at 110. It did appear on three of the

00:50:41.579 –> 00:50:44.579
nine lists that we looked at. And then 205th

00:50:44.579 –> 00:50:49.219
from our original countdown is MegasXLR. So Invader

00:50:49.219 –> 00:50:51.219
Zim, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited,

00:50:51.380 –> 00:50:54.980
Kim Possible, MegasXLR. Steve, start us off with

00:50:54.980 –> 00:50:59.489
this group. So Invader Zim, I did not watch.

00:50:59.690 –> 00:51:03.210
It’s kind of another one of those Nickelodeon.

00:51:03.909 –> 00:51:09.670
Yeah, it’s a funny trend. I never I never realized

00:51:09.670 –> 00:51:12.570
it, but I just don’t like Nickelodeon animation.

00:51:12.929 –> 00:51:15.510
And I have not liked the Ninja Turtles since

00:51:15.510 –> 00:51:18.269
Nickelodeon took it over after to the 2012 series.

00:51:18.710 –> 00:51:23.460
So it’s it it’s. Very funny. So invaders them

00:51:23.460 –> 00:51:26.380
suffice it to say will not be on my list. Uh,

00:51:26.400 –> 00:51:29.679
even though it’s, you know, got a lot of high

00:51:29.679 –> 00:51:32.820
praise online for reviews, uh, justice league

00:51:32.820 –> 00:51:35.679
and justice league unlimited. Uh, like we mentioned,

00:51:35.780 –> 00:51:39.699
I, I can foresee me using these on my list because

00:51:39.699 –> 00:51:42.119
I enjoy them both. And they’re continuations

00:51:42.119 –> 00:51:44.880
of Batman, the animated series and Batman beyond

00:51:44.880 –> 00:51:48.639
and Superman, the animated series. And so I feel

00:51:48.639 –> 00:51:51.599
like these allow other characters to shine, but

00:51:51.599 –> 00:51:54.099
also playing in that same universe. So they’re

00:51:54.099 –> 00:51:57.139
a lot of fun for me. And a lot of them touch

00:51:57.139 –> 00:51:59.619
in different ways. Kim Possible, another fun

00:51:59.619 –> 00:52:02.119
show by Disney. Funny enough, I like a lot of

00:52:02.119 –> 00:52:05.840
the Disney stuff or in some ways DreamWorks,

00:52:05.840 –> 00:52:09.039
which comes up later. But Kim Possible was fun.

00:52:09.460 –> 00:52:12.019
Megas XLR, I remember this on Cartoon Network.

00:52:12.280 –> 00:52:16.940
And it reminds me in a lot of ways like Swat

00:52:16.940 –> 00:52:20.880
Cats. but with robots. So they get to fight in

00:52:20.880 –> 00:52:23.360
these zords. I found it entertaining, and it’s

00:52:23.360 –> 00:52:26.519
got a very similar style to the late 90s, early

00:52:26.519 –> 00:52:29.500
2000s aesthetic where they had that kind of shiny,

00:52:29.599 –> 00:52:33.219
polished look, but it wasn’t completely dark,

00:52:33.239 –> 00:52:37.760
and it fit in well with the content of that time

00:52:37.760 –> 00:52:41.690
period. I remember watching a few episodes back

00:52:41.690 –> 00:52:43.050
in the day, but this is definitely something

00:52:43.050 –> 00:52:45.429
I’m going to go back and rewatch before I can

00:52:45.429 –> 00:52:47.610
determine if it gets listed or not. Mike, what

00:52:47.610 –> 00:52:50.449
do you think? Oh, boy. Yeah, like Steve, I’ve

00:52:50.449 –> 00:52:54.630
never seen Invader Zim. I’ve never seen Mega’s

00:52:54.630 –> 00:52:59.969
XLR, but I will give it a try. Kim Possible,

00:53:00.130 –> 00:53:04.570
funny thing, I just finished my third rewatch

00:53:04.570 –> 00:53:07.849
through of that series in the past, like, four

00:53:07.849 –> 00:53:11.059
years. At this point, I use that show for background

00:53:11.059 –> 00:53:15.099
noise. I love that show so much. Justice League

00:53:15.099 –> 00:53:17.860
and Justice League Unlimited specifically and

00:53:17.860 –> 00:53:22.639
Kim Possible basically have a unique tie together

00:53:22.639 –> 00:53:26.980
because Will Friedle is on both shows. Because

00:53:26.980 –> 00:53:36.519
in, what’s the episode called? Time Warped. Time

00:53:36.519 –> 00:53:41.000
Warped Part 2 in Justice League Unlimited. The

00:53:41.000 –> 00:53:45.039
Batcave? Everything. It’s all gone. We’re all

00:53:45.039 –> 00:53:48.500
that’s left. Will Friedle voices both Batman

00:53:48.500 –> 00:53:51.559
in Batman Beyond and in Justice League Unlimited.

00:53:51.699 –> 00:53:55.579
And obviously the voice of Ron Stoppable in Kim

00:53:55.579 –> 00:53:59.139
Possible. So very, very awesome. But yeah, Justice

00:53:59.139 –> 00:54:00.800
League, Justice League Unlimited, Kim Possible.

00:54:00.860 –> 00:54:05.360
Absolutely love all three. That’s halfway through,

00:54:05.440 –> 00:54:07.800
I believe. The first set of 25 has been revealed,

00:54:07.940 –> 00:54:09.980
so let’s see what the second half holds for us.

00:54:10.780 –> 00:54:15.159
Robot! Robot? Mrs. Wakeman’s weird, but she’s

00:54:15.159 –> 00:54:18.940
not a robot. And I’m not deaf either, young man.

00:54:19.559 –> 00:54:22.519
Sorry, Mrs. Wakeman. Tuck was babbling about

00:54:22.519 –> 00:54:26.280
some robot. Robot? Ridiculous. Never heard of

00:54:26.280 –> 00:54:29.699
such a thing. That’s what I said. Listen, Iruka

00:54:29.699 –> 00:54:31.940
-sensei. I’m gonna show you this amazing jutsu,

00:54:31.940 –> 00:54:33.519
and you’re gonna let me graduate, then everything

00:54:33.519 –> 00:54:35.739
will be okay. That’s the way it works, right?

00:54:35.880 –> 00:54:38.059
Anyone who learns a jutsu from this scroll passes.

00:54:38.460 –> 00:54:41.659
Huh? Where’d you get that idea? Mizuki -sensei

00:54:41.659 –> 00:54:44.119
told me about it. Believe it! He told me where

00:54:44.119 –> 00:54:47.420
to find the scroll, and this place… Somebody

00:54:47.420 –> 00:54:55.559
get that wig off private! Cheesy dibbles. Happy

00:54:55.559 –> 00:55:00.199
ding -dong birthday, you little scamp. Daddy,

00:55:00.639 –> 00:55:04.420
it stopped raining. Can we go out to play? All

00:55:04.420 –> 00:55:12.079
right. Running on you two. Pretty cool, huh?

00:55:12.320 –> 00:55:15.639
What about Perry? What does he want to do? All

00:55:15.639 –> 00:55:19.739
right. Starting off this second half, we have

00:55:19.739 –> 00:55:24.219
from 2003. my life as a teenage robot we have

00:55:24.219 –> 00:55:29.900
naruto from 2002 it was 247th on the original

00:55:29.900 –> 00:55:32.820
countdown so it has a lot of work to do we have

00:55:32.820 –> 00:55:35.460
penguins of madagascar came out kind of right

00:55:35.460 –> 00:55:37.940
before we did the last countdown relatively and

00:55:37.940 –> 00:55:41.099
it did get enough votes to get 305th on our original

00:55:41.099 –> 00:55:43.820
countdown we have peppa pig which has had almost

00:55:43.820 –> 00:55:46.019
400 episodes and is like a cultural phenomenon

00:55:46.019 –> 00:55:50.079
i guess and we have one of mike’s favorites from

00:55:50.079 –> 00:55:52.820
2007 it came in 60th on the original list that

00:55:52.820 –> 00:55:56.099
would be phineas and ferb mike you go first i’ve

00:55:56.099 –> 00:55:59.320
never seen my life as a teenage robot i’m gonna

00:55:59.320 –> 00:56:01.639
have to give that a try i’d never i’ve seen bits

00:56:01.639 –> 00:56:05.360
and i’ve seen clips of naruto penguins of madagascar

00:56:05.360 –> 00:56:10.099
i liked because it wasn’t the movie i liked it

00:56:10.099 –> 00:56:13.219
because it was the penguins i liked it because

00:56:13.219 –> 00:56:16.880
it was them not the other characters from the

00:56:16.880 –> 00:56:20.760
madagascar movies but penguins they’re hilarious

00:56:20.760 –> 00:56:23.300
i absolutely love the penguins they’re so funny

00:56:23.300 –> 00:56:27.739
peppa pig is a kid’s show i i’ve i’ve seen clips

00:56:27.739 –> 00:56:30.920
i used to listen to a radio station where one

00:56:30.920 –> 00:56:34.159
of the morning show people was a mom of of teenage

00:56:34.159 –> 00:56:37.719
girls or little girls or whatever so i i only

00:56:37.719 –> 00:56:40.739
know of it because of that and phineas and ferb

00:56:40.739 –> 00:56:47.280
is phineas and ferb Show debuted in 2007. It’s

00:56:47.280 –> 00:56:52.440
currently got five seasons. They just announced

00:56:52.440 –> 00:56:57.380
the sixth season coming beginning of next year,

00:56:57.420 –> 00:56:59.480
I think. I could be wrong in that. I don’t have

00:56:59.480 –> 00:57:01.320
the information in front of me. I’m not going

00:57:01.320 –> 00:57:07.639
to look it up. But yeah, we have the podcast

00:57:07.639 –> 00:57:09.599
organization without a cool acronym with myself

00:57:09.599 –> 00:57:12.780
and Michael Wilson. We’ve gone through everything.

00:57:13.079 –> 00:57:17.800
We will be doing the fifth season and whatever

00:57:17.800 –> 00:57:21.019
else they come out with. What’s so cool about

00:57:21.019 –> 00:57:26.860
Phineas and Ferb is it’s a cartoon show where

00:57:26.860 –> 00:57:36.829
imagination is everything. And in 2007, I know

00:57:36.829 –> 00:57:39.650
we had plenty of cartoon shows where you could

00:57:39.650 –> 00:57:44.710
have your imagination be everything, but I don’t

00:57:44.710 –> 00:57:48.289
think we had a cartoon show like that in a long

00:57:48.289 –> 00:57:52.489
time where you basically meet these two stepbrothers

00:57:52.489 –> 00:57:56.610
who basically create anything and everything.

00:57:57.269 –> 00:58:00.349
And they have the older sister in Candace voiced

00:58:00.349 –> 00:58:04.730
by Ashley Tisdale. And she always wants to bust

00:58:04.730 –> 00:58:08.710
her brothers. And they get away with everything.

00:58:08.789 –> 00:58:10.849
And she gets frustrated. And on the flip side,

00:58:10.949 –> 00:58:16.030
you have Perry the Platypus with Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

00:58:16.090 –> 00:58:19.590
And it’s a whole thing. And it’s a whole genre

00:58:19.590 –> 00:58:23.510
of it’s a whole show of just awesomeness. And

00:58:23.510 –> 00:58:28.210
it’s just so fun. And, yeah, absolutely. But,

00:58:28.210 –> 00:58:32.199
yeah, Penguins and Perry. penguins and perry

00:58:32.199 –> 00:58:34.380
for you okay the only ones that appeared on the

00:58:34.380 –> 00:58:36.800
nine lists that we looked at was naruto and phineas

00:58:36.800 –> 00:58:39.059
and ferb steve which ones do you think have the

00:58:39.059 –> 00:58:42.199
most chance for you i think the ones that have

00:58:42.199 –> 00:58:45.179
the most chance for me are naruto penguins and

00:58:45.179 –> 00:58:50.380
madagascar and phineas and ferb my life is a

00:58:50.380 –> 00:58:57.760
teenage robot again figure the studio uh that

00:58:57.760 –> 00:59:03.159
obvious peppa pig i It’s an animation thing,

00:59:03.260 –> 00:59:07.699
again, but I had never heard of this before.

00:59:07.980 –> 00:59:12.320
I saw it on a Paramount Plus commercial a couple

00:59:12.320 –> 00:59:16.380
years ago when it had Patrick Stewart on there

00:59:16.380 –> 00:59:18.980
talking about getting the pigskin. Oh, yeah.

00:59:20.300 –> 00:59:24.000
So close. How are we going to get up there? Now,

00:59:24.000 –> 00:59:27.480
if there were only someone made of pigskin. Bingo.

00:59:29.280 –> 00:59:32.550
Okay. That’s the first time I heard a Peppa Pig,

00:59:32.710 –> 00:59:35.730
so that ought to tell you. Naruto, I can see

00:59:35.730 –> 00:59:38.889
being pretty strong because, again, that came

00:59:38.889 –> 00:59:41.650
out during the early 2000s, Western audience

00:59:41.650 –> 00:59:44.110
anime, kind of like Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon,

00:59:44.409 –> 00:59:49.690
etc. It would kind of go with the Inuyasha’s,

00:59:49.710 –> 00:59:52.989
the Ranma, and the Dragon Ball content. Penguins

00:59:52.989 –> 00:59:55.829
of Madagascar, those penguins are awesome. Yes,

00:59:55.829 –> 01:00:00.800
they are. I enjoy them. even in that I, and then

01:00:00.800 –> 01:00:03.420
they have the King Julian parts of it, which

01:00:03.420 –> 01:00:06.460
are funny too. And then Phineas and Ferb, I’ve

01:00:06.460 –> 01:00:08.519
watched some of it here or there with my kids

01:00:08.519 –> 01:00:11.000
and they’ve watched it and they enjoy it quite

01:00:11.000 –> 01:00:13.659
a bit. So I can see those three being the strong

01:00:13.659 –> 01:00:16.260
contenders in this particular list. Speaking

01:00:16.260 –> 01:00:19.340
of strong contenders, we have maybe our strongest

01:00:19.340 –> 01:00:23.980
group of contenders coming up next. Excellent.

01:00:24.260 –> 01:00:26.420
So you’re not going to talk. Then how about a

01:00:26.420 –> 01:00:29.840
dip in my lava jacuzzi? Megatron, you’re sure

01:00:29.840 –> 01:00:32.059
this is a Maximal in disguise and not just a

01:00:32.059 –> 01:00:34.780
plain old panda? Of course, Scorponok. Look at

01:00:34.780 –> 01:00:38.559
his smug face. Yes, I may have PTSD, but that

01:00:38.559 –> 01:00:42.159
is a f***ing Maximal. If you are me, then who

01:00:42.159 –> 01:00:48.179
am I? You’re so stupid. You are you also. Enough.

01:00:48.599 –> 01:00:51.179
You are my mirror image, yet your speech is foul

01:00:51.179 –> 01:00:54.159
with evil and disrespect. Who are you, and how

01:00:54.159 –> 01:00:56.619
have you come to be me? The Banking Clan has

01:00:56.619 –> 01:00:59.360
hidden huge factories on Munalist, building huge

01:00:59.360 –> 01:01:02.059
droid armies and massive warships. We must act

01:01:02.059 –> 01:01:07.199
quickly. I agree. But who to send? Master Windu

01:01:07.199 –> 01:01:10.500
still fights on Dantooine. Lead the assault,

01:01:10.619 –> 01:01:14.039
Master Obi -Wan can. My army is ready, Chancellor.

01:01:14.260 –> 01:01:17.840
We can leave immediately. Yes, and young Skywalker

01:01:17.840 –> 01:01:39.239
as well. Batman would have had real earplugs.

01:01:39.460 –> 01:01:42.420
After all I’ve done for you, this is the payback?

01:01:42.599 –> 01:01:44.960
When Dad passed away… Don’t you mention him.

01:01:45.000 –> 01:01:47.619
Why not? I’m the man of the family now. Says

01:01:47.619 –> 01:01:51.079
who? That’s the way it works. We’re blood. I’m

01:01:51.079 –> 01:01:53.280
supposed to be looking after you, not fighting

01:01:53.280 –> 01:01:55.800
with… Did someone say fight? No offense, Stretch,

01:01:56.000 –> 01:01:58.300
but a big -time supervillain like Ebon requires

01:01:58.300 –> 01:02:01.699
a big -time superhero like… well, like me.

01:02:04.489 –> 01:02:06.730
All right. At this set of five, four of them

01:02:06.730 –> 01:02:09.889
were on our original top 100. That’s the biggest

01:02:09.889 –> 01:02:12.090
set of five that we’re going to have to talk

01:02:12.090 –> 01:02:14.929
about today. And one of them kind of just missed.

01:02:15.090 –> 01:02:17.869
Robot Chicken starts us off. It debuted in 2005.

01:02:18.150 –> 01:02:20.050
It was on four of the nine lists we looked at.

01:02:20.130 –> 01:02:22.030
It is the only one of this five that didn’t make

01:02:22.030 –> 01:02:25.570
our original top 100. It came in at 134. The

01:02:25.570 –> 01:02:27.869
rest of the four all did come in on the top 100.

01:02:28.050 –> 01:02:31.550
So we had Samurai Jack, which came in at 38.

01:02:32.329 –> 01:02:35.710
We had Star Wars Clone Wars from 2003, which

01:02:35.710 –> 01:02:40.369
came in at 66. We had Star Wars The Clone Wars

01:02:40.369 –> 01:02:44.590
from 2008, which came in at 49. And we had Static

01:02:44.590 –> 01:02:48.230
Shock from 2000, which came in at number 83.

01:02:49.610 –> 01:02:52.289
Star Wars Clone Wars and Static Shock were on

01:02:52.289 –> 01:02:54.269
three of the nine lists we looked at. Star Wars

01:02:54.269 –> 01:02:56.269
The Clone Wars, Robot Chicken, were on four of

01:02:56.269 –> 01:02:58.590
the lists we looked at. Samurai Jack was on six

01:02:58.590 –> 01:03:03.219
of the nine lists we looked at. Can see myself.

01:03:03.739 –> 01:03:06.300
I know originally I voted for both Clone Wars

01:03:06.300 –> 01:03:10.360
just in very different spots. I cannot see myself

01:03:10.360 –> 01:03:12.920
voting for both of them again this time just

01:03:12.920 –> 01:03:15.099
because I feel like I need that extra spot for

01:03:15.099 –> 01:03:17.860
something else. And there’s been some other Star

01:03:17.860 –> 01:03:20.019
Wars content that I think is better than the

01:03:20.019 –> 01:03:24.360
2003 version. So I probably will only vote for

01:03:24.360 –> 01:03:27.940
the 2008 Clone Wars and leave the 2003 one off

01:03:27.940 –> 01:03:30.769
of my list. Samurai Jack is on my watch list.

01:03:30.849 –> 01:03:33.210
I have to watch some of that, and I have not

01:03:33.210 –> 01:03:36.590
seen any static shock. I get Robot Chicken. Again,

01:03:36.710 –> 01:03:38.750
it depends when you’re looking at the more adult

01:03:38.750 –> 01:03:44.010
demographic of the primetime cartoon shows, Adult

01:03:44.010 –> 01:03:46.449
Swim -like programming, how many you have room

01:03:46.449 –> 01:03:49.250
for, and which was your flavor. Robot Chicken,

01:03:49.369 –> 01:03:52.250
I can see going either way, so it just depends

01:03:52.250 –> 01:03:55.269
on the panel, I guess. Mike, what do you think

01:03:55.269 –> 01:03:58.809
of this set of five? Yeah, I agree. It just depends

01:03:58.809 –> 01:04:04.329
on the adult humor. Robot Chicken, for me, it’s

01:04:04.329 –> 01:04:09.110
not even really about their humor. It’s about

01:04:09.110 –> 01:04:14.949
which skits. If they do a Transformers skit,

01:04:15.010 –> 01:04:17.550
oh, I’m going to want to watch that. But if they

01:04:17.550 –> 01:04:20.650
do a skit on something else I don’t care about,

01:04:20.829 –> 01:04:23.289
then I’m not going to want to watch it. I don’t

01:04:23.289 –> 01:04:28.219
care. choose your own adventure episodes with

01:04:28.219 –> 01:04:31.840
them kind of thing samurai jack like you i’m

01:04:31.840 –> 01:04:36.360
gonna have to watch some of that 2003 clone wars

01:04:36.360 –> 01:04:40.420
was okay but it’s not making my list over 2008

01:04:40.420 –> 01:04:45.780
the clone wars uh again when the pandemic hit

01:04:45.780 –> 01:04:50.800
is when they announced that look season seven

01:04:50.800 –> 01:04:55.480
the final season of the clone wars I went back

01:04:55.480 –> 01:04:58.099
and I watched all of it from the beginning. I

01:04:58.099 –> 01:05:02.280
had never because Disney Plus had just started

01:05:02.280 –> 01:05:06.820
in 2019. When the Clone Wars was airing on Cartoon

01:05:06.820 –> 01:05:09.420
Network, Cartoon Network has always been fickle

01:05:09.420 –> 01:05:12.800
with action cartoon air dates. Always. I don’t

01:05:12.800 –> 01:05:15.000
care what you could insert any action cartoon.

01:05:15.360 –> 01:05:19.539
Cartoon Network would put it on. this time, this

01:05:19.539 –> 01:05:21.579
time, this time. And then the next week it would

01:05:21.579 –> 01:05:24.260
be on any other time, but the times you had it

01:05:24.260 –> 01:05:27.980
on the previous week. So when Disney plus debuted

01:05:27.980 –> 01:05:33.519
in 2019 and the clone wars was on there and everything

01:05:33.519 –> 01:05:36.139
shut down in 2020, I was like, Oh look, I have

01:05:36.139 –> 01:05:38.340
plenty of time. I can actually sit and watch

01:05:38.340 –> 01:05:42.519
all of the show. There’s a whole Twitter thread

01:05:42.519 –> 01:05:45.860
on, on Twitter that I did that I did a running

01:05:45.860 –> 01:05:49.630
commentary. Not necessarily every episode, but

01:05:49.630 –> 01:05:52.929
after I finished either every few episodes or

01:05:52.929 –> 01:05:57.710
every season, I made a post about, hey, I watched

01:05:57.710 –> 01:05:59.730
this or I watched that or I like this or I like

01:05:59.730 –> 01:06:01.789
that or whatever. So, yeah, 2008 Clone Wars.

01:06:01.909 –> 01:06:05.269
Absolutely love it. So good. And Static Shock.

01:06:06.630 –> 01:06:09.570
Static Shock’s good. I enjoyed it. It was fun.

01:06:10.150 –> 01:06:13.829
A little different, but it’s not bad. I wouldn’t.

01:06:13.829 –> 01:06:18.670
I wouldn’t. These double negatives suck. I would

01:06:18.670 –> 01:06:22.630
not not recommend it. I would definitely say

01:06:22.630 –> 01:06:25.869
give it a shot. It’s very good. The crossovers

01:06:25.869 –> 01:06:29.570
are interesting, but don’t just watch it for

01:06:29.570 –> 01:06:34.969
Batman to show up, even though that’s fun. But

01:06:34.969 –> 01:06:39.809
it is very, very fun. Steve? Before Steve goes,

01:06:39.949 –> 01:06:42.190
I think the Clone Wars from 2008 could be one

01:06:42.190 –> 01:06:44.210
that I know it came in 49th on our original one.

01:06:44.570 –> 01:06:46.929
it may actually have an opportunity to climb

01:06:46.929 –> 01:06:49.769
the ranks because it’s had so many more seasons

01:06:49.769 –> 01:06:51.869
and it’s been around and this, that, and the

01:06:51.869 –> 01:06:54.010
other. So I could actually see that one jumping

01:06:54.010 –> 01:06:56.610
even higher than 49. Steve, what do you think

01:06:56.610 –> 01:07:00.070
of that and this set of five? So for this particular

01:07:00.070 –> 01:07:02.409
set of five, I agree with the assessment about

01:07:02.409 –> 01:07:06.739
Robot Chicken. I liked certain skits like when

01:07:06.739 –> 01:07:10.260
it pertained to Transformers or G .I. Joe or,

01:07:10.260 –> 01:07:12.360
you know, certain things like that. I would watch

01:07:12.360 –> 01:07:14.239
the skit itself, but I didn’t really care for

01:07:14.239 –> 01:07:17.579
the show. Samurai Jack, I did watch a lot of

01:07:17.579 –> 01:07:21.079
back in the day. I found it to be entertaining.

01:07:21.719 –> 01:07:26.800
And I again, I liked Cartoon Network stuff, too,

01:07:26.980 –> 01:07:29.699
because I watched Toonami and so I watched everything

01:07:29.699 –> 01:07:33.900
around it. And it was kind of dark, but it was

01:07:33.900 –> 01:07:38.920
interesting samurai type stuff. And I did not

01:07:38.920 –> 01:07:45.400
like the 2003 Clone Wars. Even though they shared

01:07:45.400 –> 01:07:51.559
an animator. And and style, I just I just didn’t

01:07:51.559 –> 01:07:56.280
like it. The CG one for the Clone Wars in 2008.

01:07:57.199 –> 01:08:00.400
where they also revived it for the final seasons

01:08:00.400 –> 01:08:04.739
for Disney Plus when they launched all that.

01:08:05.699 –> 01:08:08.579
I enjoyed that show. Plus, it plays really well

01:08:08.579 –> 01:08:12.219
into the continuity. I don’t know. It’s just

01:08:12.219 –> 01:08:16.340
more satisfying to kind of dig into. Static Shock,

01:08:16.760 –> 01:08:22.039
I enjoyed it when it was out. I don’t know if

01:08:22.039 –> 01:08:25.529
I would list it. just because I have other DC

01:08:25.529 –> 01:08:29.510
shows that I care about and enjoy much more than

01:08:29.510 –> 01:08:32.390
this one. And it has nothing to do with Batman.

01:08:32.510 –> 01:08:36.689
It just has to do with the fact that I was also

01:08:36.689 –> 01:08:41.829
out of the range here of what they were trying

01:08:41.829 –> 01:08:46.770
to drop for people to watch it. And so I wouldn’t

01:08:46.770 –> 01:08:49.739
list it personally. I could see it being on the

01:08:49.739 –> 01:08:51.800
top 100. I can see really any of these except

01:08:51.800 –> 01:08:54.779
for maybe the 2003 Clone Wars being on there.

01:08:54.859 –> 01:08:57.159
But myself personally, I think I’d go for like

01:08:57.159 –> 01:09:00.539
Samurai Jack or the 2008 Clone Wars. I think

01:09:00.539 –> 01:09:02.979
I have some watching to do, but I would be shocked

01:09:02.979 –> 01:09:06.039
if the Clone Wars doesn’t make our top 100. So

01:09:06.039 –> 01:09:08.000
let’s see what the next set of five brings us.

01:09:12.220 –> 01:09:15.260
Oh, man, come on. It’s got to be around here

01:09:15.260 –> 01:09:22.289
someplace. I don’t believe this. How could you

01:09:22.289 –> 01:09:25.250
lose the remote? What makes you so sure I lost

01:09:25.250 –> 01:09:30.510
it? Uh, because you’re you. Hey, just because

01:09:30.510 –> 01:09:33.489
I lost that video game. And the toothpaste, and

01:09:33.489 –> 01:09:36.750
my football, and a waffle iron. Things disappear.

01:09:37.029 –> 01:09:39.609
How am I supposed to know where they go? Well,

01:09:39.630 –> 01:09:41.989
how am I supposed to watch TV without a remote?

01:09:43.229 –> 01:09:46.329
Symbol, you just get up and change the channel.

01:09:48.590 –> 01:09:56.329
Huh? What is that noise? Whoa! Earthquake! In

01:09:56.329 –> 01:10:09.590
New York? Possible, but not likely. What are

01:10:09.590 –> 01:10:18.989
those things? New York City cockroaches? Hey,

01:10:18.989 –> 01:10:21.090
we are going to look for buried treasure, right?

01:10:21.449 –> 01:10:24.510
Right you are, matey. And look what I’ve got.

01:10:24.890 –> 01:10:35.189
Half of a treasure map. Face. Say cheese. I’m

01:10:35.189 –> 01:10:42.930
out of gas. And I’m out of patience. We really

01:10:42.930 –> 01:10:45.689
know how to spoil a coming out party. How do

01:10:45.689 –> 01:10:47.550
you expect me to spread mirth and whimsy without

01:10:47.550 –> 01:10:51.350
a proper hideout? Listen, Joker, you’re sick.

01:10:51.489 –> 01:10:55.390
You need help. Well, maybe I am a little off.

01:10:59.069 –> 01:11:01.529
But what are you going to do? Lock me in the

01:11:01.529 –> 01:11:07.590
loony bin? I’m already here. I’m not a prophet,

01:11:07.729 –> 01:11:10.970
but sometimes I have prophetic dreams, like the

01:11:10.970 –> 01:11:21.840
one where I was at a garden party. Excuse me,

01:11:21.840 –> 01:11:24.479
everyone. I have a brief announcement to make.

01:11:25.840 –> 01:11:27.579
All right. We’re going to stay in a very tight

01:11:27.579 –> 01:11:29.899
time period here in our next group. We’re going

01:11:29.899 –> 01:11:32.479
to have shows that were in 2003, 2004 and 2005,

01:11:32.739 –> 01:11:35.899
and that’s it. So we have the first two are both

01:11:35.899 –> 01:11:38.380
from 2003. We’re going to talk about Teen Titans,

01:11:38.520 –> 01:11:41.399
which appeared on three of the nine lists and

01:11:41.399 –> 01:11:44.640
it. Just missed our countdown last time. It came

01:11:44.640 –> 01:11:49.039
in at 104 on the top 100. So just missed the

01:11:49.039 –> 01:11:52.960
actual countdown. We have also from 2003, the

01:11:52.960 –> 01:11:56.319
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which appeared

01:11:56.319 –> 01:11:58.060
on two of the nine lists we looked at and was

01:11:58.060 –> 01:12:02.039
number 51 on our original list. We have the Backyardigans

01:12:02.039 –> 01:12:05.500
from 2004. That was 235th on our original list.

01:12:05.859 –> 01:12:09.340
Also from 2004, we have The Batman, which came

01:12:09.340 –> 01:12:13.439
in at 137th. on our list. Just missing the countdown

01:12:13.439 –> 01:12:17.119
and missing a chance to go past Spider -Man for

01:12:17.119 –> 01:12:19.619
I think the franchise that had the most titles

01:12:19.619 –> 01:12:22.460
possibly. I’d have to do the analysis of the

01:12:22.460 –> 01:12:25.060
last countdown one more time. And then we have

01:12:25.060 –> 01:12:28.460
from 2005, this was 278th on our original list.

01:12:28.539 –> 01:12:31.779
This is the Boondocks from 2005. That appeared

01:12:31.779 –> 01:12:33.979
on four of the nine lists we looked at. So that

01:12:33.979 –> 01:12:36.600
makes it Teen Titans, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

01:12:36.600 –> 01:12:40.750
2003, The Backyardigans, The Batman, and the

01:12:40.750 –> 01:12:42.970
boondocks. Steve, we’ll go right back to you

01:12:42.970 –> 01:12:44.409
to let you start off with this one. What are

01:12:44.409 –> 01:12:48.130
your thoughts on this set of five? So for this

01:12:48.130 –> 01:12:51.529
particular set of five, I was not a fan of Teen

01:12:51.529 –> 01:12:54.010
Titans, although I would take this over Teen

01:12:54.010 –> 01:13:00.890
Titans Go in some regards. The only episode of

01:13:00.890 –> 01:13:02.590
Teen Titans Go I enjoyed is the one where they

01:13:02.590 –> 01:13:05.569
had Megatron or David Kaye playing a dragon in

01:13:05.569 –> 01:13:10.560
the Elseworld with the song. Teenage Mutant Ninja

01:13:10.560 –> 01:13:13.439
Turtles 2003. Loved this show. I watched it when

01:13:13.439 –> 01:13:18.359
it came out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked

01:13:18.359 –> 01:13:21.640
the darker aspect of it. I liked the differences

01:13:21.640 –> 01:13:25.880
that they made between the 87 and this one. I

01:13:25.880 –> 01:13:27.899
liked how they also did Turtles Forever, which

01:13:27.899 –> 01:13:32.420
kind of tied into this too. And the 87. And yeah,

01:13:33.100 –> 01:13:35.720
so I mean, this one is a definite lock for me.

01:13:35.800 –> 01:13:38.319
And I can see it being a lock for people too.

01:13:38.840 –> 01:13:40.960
if they didn’t choose the other one or even if

01:13:40.960 –> 01:13:47.180
they did the backyard agains I wouldn’t put this

01:13:47.180 –> 01:13:49.640
personally I mean it’s yes it’s a Nickelodeon

01:13:49.640 –> 01:13:52.520
show which I didn’t know until I was doing research

01:13:52.520 –> 01:13:56.239
on it I skimmed it because again I’m not the

01:13:56.239 –> 01:13:59.380
you know target demographic for this and my kids

01:13:59.380 –> 01:14:02.239
never got into it so they didn’t really care

01:14:02.239 –> 01:14:06.050
for this type of animation for one or the the

01:14:06.050 –> 01:14:10.289
sing -songy stuff or this kind of almost dumbed

01:14:10.289 –> 01:14:14.609
down animation so i yeah this one won’t be on

01:14:14.609 –> 01:14:22.829
there uh for sure the batman i didn’t start watching

01:14:22.829 –> 01:14:27.609
this one until just a few years ago and It’s

01:14:27.609 –> 01:14:29.949
actually pretty enjoyable. It’s a different take.

01:14:30.029 –> 01:14:32.310
You get a different version of Batman here. I

01:14:32.310 –> 01:14:34.170
mean, just like any other Batman series, you

01:14:34.170 –> 01:14:36.569
get a different one. I could see this one or

01:14:36.569 –> 01:14:38.710
the Brave and the Bold being kind of a toss up

01:14:38.710 –> 01:14:40.909
for people of will they won’t they on these two

01:14:40.909 –> 01:14:43.430
just because you get the lighter tone with the

01:14:43.430 –> 01:14:45.329
Brave and the Bold and this one you get kind

01:14:45.329 –> 01:14:48.609
of the darker, different rendition you even get

01:14:48.609 –> 01:14:52.859
eventually in later seasons like Batman’s. Like

01:14:52.859 –> 01:14:55.260
you get his Robin, you get Nightwing, you get

01:14:55.260 –> 01:14:58.220
Batgirl, you get even like an episode where Mr.

01:14:58.319 –> 01:15:00.779
Freeze comes back and it’s like a thousand years

01:15:00.779 –> 01:15:02.939
later or something. And they they dig up the

01:15:02.939 –> 01:15:06.920
Batcave and they all don a costume of of Batman

01:15:06.920 –> 01:15:11.819
to to confuse Mr. Freeze as they take him down.

01:15:12.119 –> 01:15:15.880
And they they get the the antidote of how to

01:15:15.880 –> 01:15:19.119
take out Mr. Freeze from Batman’s Batcomputer.

01:15:19.739 –> 01:15:22.800
So I don’t know. I like the show Boondocks. I

01:15:22.800 –> 01:15:24.979
tried to watch that back in the day. Absolutely

01:15:24.979 –> 01:15:28.920
hated it. I still don’t like it. This was kind

01:15:28.920 –> 01:15:32.420
of around the phase of where Adult Swim was kind

01:15:32.420 –> 01:15:34.399
of turning into stuff and I just didn’t care

01:15:34.399 –> 01:15:37.819
for it. So this this is not something I would

01:15:37.819 –> 01:15:39.539
have. I could see people putting it on there

01:15:39.539 –> 01:15:43.239
that might have liked this kind of darker. Kind

01:15:43.239 –> 01:15:47.750
of animation. But I personally won’t. Out of

01:15:47.750 –> 01:15:49.810
this block, I would choose Ninja Turtles and

01:15:49.810 –> 01:15:53.130
The Batman. Mike, agree? Which ones would you

01:15:53.130 –> 01:15:56.229
be most keen to vote for? Turtles and Batman.

01:15:56.930 –> 01:15:59.869
Absolutely. Are you not a Teen Titans fan either?

01:16:00.409 –> 01:16:07.170
No. Not at all. It’s not a bad show. It’s just

01:16:07.170 –> 01:16:11.010
that… I don’t know. It’s better than Teen Titans

01:16:11.010 –> 01:16:17.300
Go. But… It was just because that was 2004,

01:16:17.439 –> 01:16:22.020
right? Yeah, I was already out of. Yeah. So 2004

01:16:22.020 –> 01:16:25.979
was kind of my year of, OK, that’s going to kind

01:16:25.979 –> 01:16:29.239
of be it for a couple of years. And 05 and 06,

01:16:29.260 –> 01:16:32.640
I was full on live action TV and then Transformers

01:16:32.640 –> 01:16:34.640
animated and Phineas and Ferb brought me back

01:16:34.640 –> 01:16:39.399
to animation. But Turtles 2003, as Steve already

01:16:39.399 –> 01:16:44.689
said, I mean. You can’t go wrong with that. Like,

01:16:44.729 –> 01:16:49.390
I have the Complete Series DVDs sitting on my

01:16:49.390 –> 01:16:53.270
dresser in the other room just waiting to pop

01:16:53.270 –> 01:16:54.970
into my Blu -ray player, even though they’re

01:16:54.970 –> 01:16:59.810
not Blu -rays. But, like, I have that. The Batman

01:16:59.810 –> 01:17:02.510
is interesting because, as Steve said, it is

01:17:02.510 –> 01:17:07.350
slightly darker. They actually tried to lighten

01:17:07.350 –> 01:17:12.050
it up. So between the fourth and the fifth season,

01:17:12.470 –> 01:17:14.489
The fourth season, by the end of the fourth season,

01:17:14.569 –> 01:17:17.569
it got so dark. I don’t know if it was Cartoon

01:17:17.569 –> 01:17:20.729
Network or wherever. I think it was Cartoon Network

01:17:20.729 –> 01:17:24.529
at the time. But the producers and everybody

01:17:24.529 –> 01:17:26.390
is like, we need something light. The entire

01:17:26.390 –> 01:17:30.010
fifth season is team ups. And the only reason

01:17:30.010 –> 01:17:33.710
why I know this is because they brought back

01:17:33.710 –> 01:17:40.010
George Newbern. They brought back Superman. There’s

01:17:40.010 –> 01:17:43.220
a whole episode where it’s all of them. it’s

01:17:43.220 –> 01:17:46.439
the D it’s the DCAU voice actors. Cause there’s

01:17:46.439 –> 01:17:49.640
a whole episode with all of them in that fifth

01:17:49.640 –> 01:17:54.640
season of the Batman. The boondocks is a, is

01:17:54.640 –> 01:17:57.020
a blank spot for me. I’ll have to check that

01:17:57.020 –> 01:18:00.640
out. Backyardigans. What is that? I know the

01:18:00.640 –> 01:18:05.020
name, but what is it? The show came out in 2004.

01:18:07.449 –> 01:18:10.689
it’s a CG animated Nickelodeon series. That’s

01:18:10.689 –> 01:18:15.550
got like animated musical stuff. And it’s, you

01:18:15.550 –> 01:18:19.609
know, you’ve got a penguin. Okay. So it’s for

01:18:19.609 –> 01:18:22.109
little kids. Okay. Yeah, no, that’s not for me.

01:18:22.189 –> 01:18:25.609
No, I will probably for sure vote for Teenage

01:18:25.609 –> 01:18:27.609
Mutant Ninja Turtles. And then the rest is all

01:18:27.609 –> 01:18:30.729
on my catch up with list. So can’t comment too

01:18:30.729 –> 01:18:35.000
much on this section. Sorry, Timmy. According

01:18:35.000 –> 01:18:37.880
to the rules, fairy godparents only grant wishes

01:18:37.880 –> 01:18:41.380
to kids. Really? It doesn’t mean you still can’t

01:18:41.380 –> 01:18:43.600
pal around with me, right? Not that we know of.

01:18:43.720 –> 01:18:47.600
Cool. Let’s go do adult stuff. Okay. Like what?

01:18:47.739 –> 01:18:55.199
Drive. I’m carsick. I’m Cosmo. Ew, it looks like

01:18:55.199 –> 01:18:58.659
I hit some kind of big ugly bug. Oh, never mind.

01:18:58.800 –> 01:19:02.300
That’s just Mandy. I didn’t realize the zoo animals

01:19:02.300 –> 01:19:07.729
were on parade. Huh? In case you didn’t know,

01:19:07.869 –> 01:19:15.130
that was sarcasm. Hard work, sweat, tears, and

01:19:15.130 –> 01:19:18.430
pain. If you can’t take a five story fall and

01:19:18.430 –> 01:19:20.270
bounce right up, you better bounce out of here

01:19:20.270 –> 01:19:25.670
now. Come here. I’m the best there is at what

I do. And what I do can’t be imitated, copied,

01:19:42.750 –> 01:19:46.109
Only one thing missing. All right, there’s only

01:19:46.109 –> 01:19:48.170
10 nominees left for this time period. Let’s

01:19:48.170 –> 01:19:50.010
go ahead and look at the first five of that 10.

01:19:50.489 –> 01:19:53.609
We have the Fairly Oddparents from 2001. That

01:19:53.609 –> 01:19:57.970
came in 290th place last time. We have also from

01:19:57.970 –> 01:20:01.109
2001, The Grim Adventures of Billy Mandy. Also

01:20:01.109 –> 01:20:04.250
from 2001, we have The Proud Family. That came

01:20:04.250 –> 01:20:07.930
in at 283rd last time. We have the Spectacular

01:20:07.930 –> 01:20:12.390
Spider -Man from 2008. Came in at 56th on our

01:20:12.390 –> 01:20:14.869
list last time. And then we have the Superhero

01:20:14.869 –> 01:20:17.390
Squad from 2009, which just missed the countdown

01:20:17.390 –> 01:20:20.710
and came in at 113th. So the fairly odd parents,

01:20:20.829 –> 01:20:22.449
grim adventures of Billy and Mandy, the proud

01:20:22.449 –> 01:20:25.409
family, spectacular Spider -Man and the superhero

01:20:25.409 –> 01:20:28.130
squad. I have to remain silent during this section.

01:20:28.229 –> 01:20:30.010
I’ve seen zero episodes of any of these five

01:20:30.010 –> 01:20:33.170
shows. You guys will have to tell me which ones

01:20:33.170 –> 01:20:35.250
I need to catch up with. Mike, let’s start with

01:20:35.250 –> 01:20:43.510
you. Okay. So you want comedy? That’s a question

01:20:43.510 –> 01:20:48.100
for you. I don’t know. I’m scared. Okay. Answer

01:20:48.100 –> 01:20:53.800
yes or no. You want comedy? Sure. Okay. The Superhero

01:20:53.800 –> 01:20:58.539
Squad Show is the most comedic superhero Marvel

01:20:58.539 –> 01:21:01.880
show, in my personal opinion, that I’ve ever

01:21:01.880 –> 01:21:07.460
seen. Is that good or bad? It’s good. Okay. It’s

01:21:07.460 –> 01:21:12.600
a good thing. They have… This isn’t a spoiler,

01:21:12.800 –> 01:21:17.689
but they have… George Takei voicing Galactus.

01:21:18.210 –> 01:21:22.569
Galactus is the guy that goes around eating planets.

01:21:22.909 –> 01:21:26.890
And how they portray Galactus in this is just

01:21:26.890 –> 01:21:31.149
hilarious. They have Steve Bloom as the voice

01:21:31.149 –> 01:21:35.829
of Wolverine. And he actually does. I think this

01:21:35.829 –> 01:21:38.909
is the first time. Might be the second time.

01:21:38.949 –> 01:21:41.670
But I think this is one of the first times. He

01:21:41.670 –> 01:21:46.710
actually uses the word. snicked so that’s the

01:21:46.710 –> 01:21:49.149
sound effect that wolverine’s claws make when

01:21:49.149 –> 01:21:53.050
he pops out his claws steve bloom actually says

01:21:53.050 –> 01:21:57.010
the word it’s so it’s so funny it’s so hilarious

01:21:57.010 –> 01:22:01.710
uh spec spidey is great proud family is cool

01:22:01.710 –> 01:22:05.350
grim adventures it was okay i liked it it wasn’t

01:22:05.350 –> 01:22:08.670
really for me fairly odd parents i didn’t find

01:22:08.670 –> 01:22:13.890
until later but it is hilarious it it is just

01:22:13.890 –> 01:22:16.090
so hilarious. It’s basically about this kid,

01:22:16.170 –> 01:22:20.569
Timmy Turner, uh, who gets these fairy God parents

01:22:20.569 –> 01:22:28.770
and they basically grant his every wish kind

01:22:28.770 –> 01:22:31.470
of thing, but they have to stay hidden. And it’s

01:22:31.470 –> 01:22:35.630
this whole awesome, interesting show. So for

01:22:35.630 –> 01:22:39.029
me, if I was putting shows on my list, fairly

01:22:39.029 –> 01:22:41.310
odd parents, spec Spidey and superhero squad

01:22:41.310 –> 01:22:44.649
show. All right, Steve, what about you? So I’ve

01:22:44.649 –> 01:22:46.550
seen fairly odd parents. This is probably one

01:22:46.550 –> 01:22:50.630
of the outliers of Nickelodeon shows where it’s

01:22:50.630 –> 01:22:55.529
actually entertaining for me. OK. This one I

01:22:55.529 –> 01:22:57.609
haven’t seen a ton of, but what I’ve seen, it’s

01:22:57.609 –> 01:22:59.550
it’s been entertaining and I can see why people

01:22:59.550 –> 01:23:02.069
enjoyed it as much as they did. And this one’s

01:23:02.069 –> 01:23:08.350
done by Butch Hartman. I mean, I could see this

01:23:08.350 –> 01:23:10.869
one being on the list in a lot of ways. I don’t

01:23:10.869 –> 01:23:13.090
know if it’ll be on mine. I don’t know if any

01:23:13.090 –> 01:23:15.989
of these honestly will be on mine, but I’ve seen

01:23:15.989 –> 01:23:18.270
majority of these. I’ve seen the Grim Adventures

01:23:18.270 –> 01:23:21.130
of Billy and Mandy, which was a Cartoon Network

01:23:21.130 –> 01:23:24.789
show. I’ve seen enough of it. It’s entertaining.

01:23:24.829 –> 01:23:26.869
It almost kind of in some ways reminds me of

01:23:26.869 –> 01:23:31.090
Pinky and the Brain, but not. The Proud Family,

01:23:31.510 –> 01:23:35.949
I’m aware of it. And I know when it came out,

01:23:36.029 –> 01:23:39.329
it’s not something that interests me. Spectacular

01:23:39.329 –> 01:23:42.850
Spider -Man. I could see my kids knowing this

01:23:42.850 –> 01:23:47.329
one more than me. I didn’t personally watch it,

01:23:47.350 –> 01:23:50.449
but I also don’t care to watch it because the

01:23:50.449 –> 01:23:53.069
90s Spider -Man is the one that is going to get

01:23:53.069 –> 01:23:56.210
my vote out of these. And that’s kind of where

01:23:56.210 –> 01:23:58.069
I’m sticking. I’m less of a Marvel guy, more

01:23:58.069 –> 01:24:02.229
of a DC in terms of animation. And then Super

01:24:02.229 –> 01:24:05.189
Hero Squad, I’m aware of it. Again, haven’t watched

01:24:05.189 –> 01:24:10.020
much of it. I’ve seen clips here or there. If

01:24:10.020 –> 01:24:14.779
you’re into the goofy, like chibi style superheroes,

01:24:15.220 –> 01:24:19.000
it works for you. Yeah, that’s what it is. I

01:24:19.000 –> 01:24:21.119
think, and again, I could be wrong. I would have

01:24:21.119 –> 01:24:23.960
to do research, but I think Spectacular Spider

01:24:23.960 –> 01:24:29.739
-Man was the first time Josh Keaton got to voice

01:24:29.739 –> 01:24:32.739
Spidey. And the only reason why I know that is

01:24:32.739 –> 01:24:36.140
because we have a voice promo from Josh when

01:24:36.140 –> 01:24:39.329
we’ve interviewed him in the past. Yep. you know,

01:24:39.329 –> 01:24:42.869
saying, Hey, this is spectacular Spider -Man

01:24:42.869 –> 01:24:45.649
and I’m swinging by the geek cast radio network.

01:24:46.229 –> 01:24:49.029
All right. So I got a lot of homework and we’ll

01:24:49.029 –> 01:24:51.430
have to see what these last set of five shows

01:24:51.430 –> 01:24:57.029
reveals for us. Race Bannon. Those bastards killed

01:24:57.029 –> 01:25:00.350
him. Those kids. Damn it. We let him go. You

01:25:00.350 –> 01:25:02.569
know him Brock worked with them a few times.

01:25:03.130 –> 01:25:05.949
He was one of the best. You need a hug Brock.

01:25:06.170 –> 01:25:12.239
No Dean. At long last, I serve you, my liege,

01:25:12.439 –> 01:25:20.439
under my true colors. Rise, Shockwave, my most

01:25:20.439 –> 01:25:26.819
loyal servant. What just happened? He happened.

01:25:28.300 –> 01:25:32.359
Just my little way of saying goodbye. See you

01:25:32.359 –> 01:25:36.100
when I get back. Yeah, you better run. Wait!

01:25:36.739 –> 01:25:40.300
Come back here and get us down! Logan! Logan!

01:25:43.020 –> 01:25:46.640
What do you think you’re doing here, bub? Those

01:25:46.640 –> 01:25:48.920
things could have taken your empty head right

01:25:48.920 –> 01:25:52.279
off! I was just trying to get… Give me that

01:25:52.279 –> 01:26:00.659
thing. Hey, give it back! Let’s just say you

01:26:00.659 –> 01:26:03.960
got on my bad side. And what else you got on

01:26:03.960 –> 01:26:07.319
this machine? When are you geeks going to stop

01:26:07.319 –> 01:26:11.119
giving that lame friendship speech? I’d say when

01:26:11.119 –> 01:26:13.300
you stop pretending everything’s a magic trick.

01:26:14.899 –> 01:26:17.840
And you can’t deny this one. I mean, how do you

01:26:17.840 –> 01:26:20.000
explain the fact that there’s two Yugi standing

01:26:20.000 –> 01:26:24.140
here? All right. We have five shows left. They

01:26:24.140 –> 01:26:27.720
all just missed our countdown coming in and various.

01:26:28.359 –> 01:26:31.520
parts of the 100s so we start with the venture

01:26:31.520 –> 01:26:36.119
brothers from 2004 that was 167th on our original

01:26:36.119 –> 01:26:39.579
list then we go to 2007 for transformers animated

01:26:39.579 –> 01:26:44.260
which was 103rd on our original list wolverine

01:26:44.260 –> 01:26:47.539
and the x -men was 111th on our original list

01:26:47.539 –> 01:26:52.770
x -men evolution was 117th and yugioh From the

01:26:52.770 –> 01:26:56.750
year 2000 was 136. The Yu -Gi -Oh! Dual Monsters,

01:26:56.770 –> 01:26:59.170
I believe, is the full title of that. So we have

01:26:59.170 –> 01:27:01.729
the Venture Brothers, Transformers Animated,

01:27:01.770 –> 01:27:04.189
Wolverine and the X -Men, X -Men Evolution, Yu

01:27:04.189 –> 01:27:06.970
-Gi -Oh! Dual Monsters. Yu -Gi -Oh! for me, it’s

01:27:06.970 –> 01:27:10.930
similar to like Naruto and Pokemon and some of

01:27:10.930 –> 01:27:14.250
those other shows where I kind of just lump them

01:27:14.250 –> 01:27:16.609
all together, whether that was right or wrong

01:27:16.609 –> 01:27:19.149
in my younger days and didn’t want to watch any

01:27:19.149 –> 01:27:21.460
of them. So I can’t speak for that one. I’ve

01:27:21.460 –> 01:27:24.479
avoided it, whether it’s warranted or not. Venture

01:27:24.479 –> 01:27:28.039
Brothers was, again, one of those adult swim

01:27:28.039 –> 01:27:32.260
type shows that I just missed because I didn’t

01:27:32.260 –> 01:27:34.100
have the right channel, I think, at the time

01:27:34.100 –> 01:27:35.720
or something. So there was a lot of those like

01:27:35.720 –> 01:27:38.060
Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Venture Brothers and

01:27:38.060 –> 01:27:40.380
Sea Lab that I just didn’t watch in that time

01:27:40.380 –> 01:27:42.760
period. I was mainly just watching Family Guy.

01:27:43.600 –> 01:27:45.680
Uh, Wolverine and the X -Men and the X -Men evolution

01:27:45.680 –> 01:27:48.319
are obviously blind spots for me. So you’ll have

01:27:48.319 –> 01:27:49.720
to get, let me know if I need to watch either

01:27:49.720 –> 01:27:52.180
one of those. I’ve seen all of transformers animated

01:27:52.180 –> 01:27:54.359
and there’s no shot in hell that it gets a vote

01:27:54.359 –> 01:27:58.680
for me. Um, so Mike, what’s your thought on these

01:27:58.680 –> 01:28:04.779
set of five? I avoid. So some things with me,

01:28:04.840 –> 01:28:11.319
if it’s in my face or if it’s in my. range too

01:28:11.319 –> 01:28:15.659
much and i don’t check it out and people keep

01:28:15.659 –> 01:28:18.319
talking about it not necessarily directed at

01:28:18.319 –> 01:28:20.420
me but if i keep hearing about it i will avoid

01:28:20.420 –> 01:28:22.840
it and that’s what happened with venture brothers

01:28:22.840 –> 01:28:26.979
everybody was talking about this damn show so

01:28:26.979 –> 01:28:29.039
i have to give that the five episode treatment

01:28:29.039 –> 01:28:35.840
but uh yeah i did not even want to venture down

01:28:35.840 –> 01:28:38.340
that avenue at the time back when it debuted

01:28:38.340 –> 01:28:42.220
yeah exactly Transformers Animated is very awesome.

01:28:42.260 –> 01:28:44.579
It’s very cool. It’s a very different style at

01:28:44.579 –> 01:28:47.220
the time in 2007, but it’s worth giving it a

01:28:47.220 –> 01:28:51.239
shot. Wolverine and the X -Men is very serious.

01:28:52.680 –> 01:28:55.319
X -Men Evolution is very serious, too, but it’s

01:28:55.319 –> 01:28:58.279
not as serious as Wolverine and the X -Men, I

01:28:58.279 –> 01:29:02.060
don’t think. And Yu -Gi -Oh! I can see why you

01:29:02.060 –> 01:29:05.859
would lump it in, but it is also very much a

01:29:05.859 –> 01:29:09.939
standout, in my personal opinion, it is. And

01:29:09.939 –> 01:29:13.220
it is the only anime that to this day that I’ve

01:29:13.220 –> 01:29:15.560
gone back and watched multiple times over and

01:29:15.560 –> 01:29:20.319
over again. I had five seasons, I believe. And

01:29:20.319 –> 01:29:23.319
each season is kind of its own, even though they

01:29:23.319 –> 01:29:27.199
tie it all together. But it is its own story.

01:29:27.300 –> 01:29:31.380
They’ve done a couple of movies with it. And

01:29:31.380 –> 01:29:35.380
every time I see Dan Green, who voices Yugi slash

01:29:35.380 –> 01:29:43.119
Yami. uh and and uh eric oh eric stewart who

01:29:43.119 –> 01:29:45.500
voices kaiba every time i see them on social

01:29:45.500 –> 01:29:48.920
media or every time i see them out you know on

01:29:48.920 –> 01:29:51.319
youtube at conventions they’re always so nice

01:29:51.319 –> 01:29:54.720
and so awesome and whatever else so yeah yugioh

01:29:54.720 –> 01:29:57.960
is dual monsters is is very very hilarious and

01:29:57.960 –> 01:30:02.239
fun and it’s worth worth anyone’s time what’s

01:30:02.239 –> 01:30:06.949
your take on these final five so Funny enough,

01:30:07.109 –> 01:30:11.569
I watched two of these today. Venture Brothers

01:30:11.569 –> 01:30:13.210
and Yu -Gi -Oh!, but I’ll get to that in a minute.

01:30:13.750 –> 01:30:17.310
Venture Brothers, I had seen it way back when

01:30:17.310 –> 01:30:20.250
it came out in 2003, and I think I’d seen it

01:30:20.250 –> 01:30:25.229
not during the 2003 run, but around 2005, 2006.

01:30:26.130 –> 01:30:29.069
And honestly, it’s kind of funny. It went from

01:30:29.069 –> 01:30:33.550
2003 to 2018, probably with very small episode

01:30:33.550 –> 01:30:38.500
runs per season. or very late releases. I don’t

01:30:38.500 –> 01:30:41.800
know. But anyways, I’ve, I’ve watched this. I

01:30:41.800 –> 01:30:46.359
find it. I mean, the animation is not bad. There’s

01:30:46.359 –> 01:30:48.659
some interesting choices with some of the voice

01:30:48.659 –> 01:30:50.939
acting. And then on top of it, I find it kind

01:30:50.939 –> 01:30:56.340
of stupid. So it didn’t really tick the box for

01:30:56.340 –> 01:31:00.300
me there. Transformers animated. I liked, and

01:31:00.300 –> 01:31:02.220
then I didn’t like, so there was, I was always

01:31:02.220 –> 01:31:04.819
on the fence with it. I liked some of the animation.

01:31:04.979 –> 01:31:08.220
I liked a lot of the voice acting. Some of the

01:31:08.220 –> 01:31:12.159
story was annoying. But again, it just depended

01:31:12.159 –> 01:31:15.640
on what part of the story you were in. So that

01:31:15.640 –> 01:31:18.279
one will probably end up on my list. Wolverine

01:31:18.279 –> 01:31:23.920
and the X -Men is another show that I skimmed

01:31:23.920 –> 01:31:25.399
some of it, but I haven’t had a chance to fully

01:31:25.399 –> 01:31:29.819
dive in. I know it’s kind of a shorter run than

01:31:29.819 –> 01:31:32.060
any of the other ones here. Plus, it’s a shorter

01:31:32.060 –> 01:31:36.170
run of the… x -men series but it it kind of

01:31:36.170 –> 01:31:41.529
gives it that late 90s early 2000s aesthetic

01:31:41.529 –> 01:31:44.689
that was kind of going around during that time

01:31:44.689 –> 01:31:48.369
like the more colorful and simplistic colors

01:31:48.369 –> 01:31:52.189
but yet it was still animated kind of pre pre

01:31:52.189 –> 01:31:55.850
-cg so it kind of if it’s more clean than the

01:31:55.850 –> 01:31:59.489
animated series of x -men from the 90s So it

01:31:59.489 –> 01:32:01.189
kind of fits between that and like a Justice

01:32:01.189 –> 01:32:05.430
League type of aesthetic. Yep. So that that one

01:32:05.430 –> 01:32:10.090
I am optimistic about from what I’ve seen. X

01:32:10.090 –> 01:32:14.149
-Men Evolution. Honestly, it just I didn’t really.

01:32:15.949 –> 01:32:17.890
Care for some of the choices that were going

01:32:17.890 –> 01:32:20.489
into it, and I know that this one lasted longer,

01:32:20.630 –> 01:32:25.729
but it doesn’t. I don’t know. I was kind of out

01:32:25.729 –> 01:32:30.300
of animation at that. point in time to like it

01:32:30.300 –> 01:32:32.479
was it was when i was going still in high school

01:32:32.479 –> 01:32:35.380
but i was working and so i i don’t care for this

01:32:35.380 –> 01:32:38.239
one in particular yugioh i watched some episodes

01:32:38.239 –> 01:32:40.579
of it earlier i’m intrigued enough that i’m like

01:32:40.579 –> 01:32:46.699
i could see watching more of this and so i i

01:32:46.699 –> 01:32:50.609
could see the appeal yeah All right, so that

01:32:50.609 –> 01:32:54.289
is our list of 50 nominees that people are going

01:32:54.289 –> 01:32:57.170
to have the potential to vote for within the

01:32:57.170 –> 01:33:00.170
2000s. It’ll be lumped in together with the 50

01:33:00.170 –> 01:33:02.930
nominees from each other time period, and that’ll

01:33:02.930 –> 01:33:06.850
be our balloting list for everybody. Mike, do

01:33:06.850 –> 01:33:10.729
we need to pay any bills? No. Okay. Would you

01:33:10.729 –> 01:33:15.409
like me to get all AI on you? No, not really.

01:33:16.369 –> 01:33:19.859
Anyway, what’s the AI say? Oh, you do want me

01:33:19.859 –> 01:33:21.920
to talk about it? Okay. So my question to you

01:33:21.920 –> 01:33:25.279
guys is, originally we had only 12 of these show

01:33:25.279 –> 01:33:28.140
up on our top 100. Obviously, a bunch of them

01:33:28.140 –> 01:33:31.619
just missed or missed by quite a bit since 41

01:33:31.619 –> 01:33:34.020
of them got voted on. Only 12 made it, though.

01:33:34.220 –> 01:33:36.899
This time around, Steve, does that number go

01:33:36.899 –> 01:33:43.680
up, stay the same, or go down? I could see you

01:33:43.680 –> 01:33:46.659
said 12 the first time around? 12 the first time

01:33:46.659 –> 01:33:50.180
around. If every time period is equal, if every

01:33:50.180 –> 01:33:52.819
time period just had the same amount, it would

01:33:52.819 –> 01:33:55.180
be 20 for each time period. But we know that

01:33:55.180 –> 01:33:57.140
some are going to be higher. I could definitely

01:33:57.140 –> 01:33:59.800
see this being closer to 20 this go -around,

01:33:59.899 –> 01:34:03.779
if not just over. Mike, what do you think? 21.

01:34:04.520 –> 01:34:08.760
All right. AI says that it is going to be somewhere

01:34:08.760 –> 01:34:13.250
between 20 and 22. this list. So that’s where

01:34:13.250 –> 01:34:15.729
it’s going. But then it also gives me 20 that

01:34:15.729 –> 01:34:17.489
it says are highly likely. And then it gives

01:34:17.489 –> 01:34:20.489
me 10 more that are like maybes. And then it

01:34:20.489 –> 01:34:24.409
gives the rest as unlikely. So, uh, or the highly

01:34:24.409 –> 01:34:26.090
likely I’ll go through these rather quickly,

01:34:26.210 –> 01:34:28.630
but it says avatar universally praised, often

01:34:28.630 –> 01:34:31.670
ranked in top 10 lists, Archer, critically acclaimed,

01:34:31.670 –> 01:34:34.630
long running adult animation, success, Aqua teen

01:34:34.630 –> 01:34:36.789
hunger force, cult classic, and a key part of

01:34:36.789 –> 01:34:39.210
adult swim history. Death note. One of the most

01:34:39.210 –> 01:34:42.319
iconic anime of all time. Full metal alchemist,

01:34:42.380 –> 01:34:45.060
masterpiece status in anime, often top 10 globally.

01:34:45.819 –> 01:34:48.619
Inuyasha calls it a major gateway anime for many

01:34:48.619 –> 01:34:51.960
in the West. Both of the Justice Leagues just

01:34:51.960 –> 01:34:54.840
says it’s a cornerstone of the DCAU. Samurai

01:34:54.840 –> 01:34:57.720
Jack, stylish, unique, and widely praised. The

01:34:57.720 –> 01:34:59.899
Clone Wars, critically re -evaluated, now seen

01:34:59.899 –> 01:35:02.899
as essential Star Wars. Teen Titans, popular,

01:35:03.039 –> 01:35:05.840
stylish, and foundational for a generation. The

01:35:05.840 –> 01:35:08.039
Boondocks, politically sharp, culturally relevant,

01:35:08.199 –> 01:35:10.649
and artistically bold. The Venture Brothers,

01:35:10.850 –> 01:35:12.689
cult favorite, brilliant writing, longstanding

01:35:12.689 –> 01:35:15.529
adult swim show. X -Men Evolution, praise for

01:35:15.529 –> 01:35:17.369
strong character arcs and storytelling. Robot

01:35:17.369 –> 01:35:19.890
Chicken, pioneering stop motion, sketch comedy,

01:35:20.029 –> 01:35:22.770
and a long adult swim legacy. Phineas and Ferb,

01:35:22.829 –> 01:35:24.750
creative, consistent, and beloved across age

01:35:24.750 –> 01:35:27.130
groups. Spectacular Spider -Man, short -lived

01:35:27.130 –> 01:35:29.750
but critically acclaimed. Naruto, huge global

01:35:29.750 –> 01:35:32.510
franchise, iconic. Invader Zim, cult classic

01:35:32.510 –> 01:35:35.270
with a loyal following and unique style. Batman

01:35:35.270 –> 01:35:37.649
the Brave and the Bold, nostalgic, well -crafted,

01:35:37.670 –> 01:35:40.359
increasingly respected. and the Fairly OddParents

01:35:40.359 –> 01:35:42.760
long -running Nickelodeon staple. So that’s what

01:35:42.760 –> 01:35:46.079
AI thinks has the best chance. Obviously, we’ve

01:35:46.079 –> 01:35:48.539
shared our opinions on which ones we think are

01:35:48.539 –> 01:35:51.600
most likely are not going to be on our radar.

01:35:51.659 –> 01:35:53.819
Mike, what do you make of just this group of

01:35:53.819 –> 01:35:56.079
2 ,000 shows in general? I think it’s a good

01:35:56.079 –> 01:35:58.520
group. I think it’s going to be interesting to

01:35:58.520 –> 01:36:01.279
see what people put on their lists from this

01:36:01.279 –> 01:36:06.319
group. And like I’ve said in every other nominees

01:36:06.319 –> 01:36:10.970
episodes, that we’ve done to this point that

01:36:10.970 –> 01:36:17.010
my list is going to be severely different from

01:36:17.010 –> 01:36:20.949
the original list that I put out 15 years ago.

01:36:21.029 –> 01:36:23.869
Yeah. This represents a time for me that I really

01:36:23.869 –> 01:36:28.329
wasn’t watching too much animation. So it’s probably

01:36:28.329 –> 01:36:31.430
the spot that has the most blind shows for me.

01:36:31.489 –> 01:36:35.880
I do have obviously strong opinions or. Personal

01:36:35.880 –> 01:36:38.380
bias, I guess, towards some of the remakes or

01:36:38.380 –> 01:36:40.199
the reboots with He -Man and the Masters of the

01:36:40.199 –> 01:36:41.939
Universe with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

01:36:41.939 –> 01:36:44.880
from 2003. I think those are definitely worthy.

01:36:45.779 –> 01:36:49.220
I liked Archer back in that time period. I like

01:36:49.220 –> 01:36:50.979
the Clone Wars. I think that’s a strong one.

01:36:51.260 –> 01:36:53.039
But I think it’s an interesting mix. We have,

01:36:53.100 –> 01:36:54.600
like Steve was pointing out, there’s a whole

01:36:54.600 –> 01:36:57.960
bunch of Nickelodeon, a smattering of some Cartoon

01:36:57.960 –> 01:37:00.479
Network, and then we got a bunch of adult, swim

01:37:00.479 –> 01:37:04.729
-style -esque. shows for you know the more mature

01:37:04.729 –> 01:37:08.109
audience and then a handful or a healthy group

01:37:08.109 –> 01:37:11.350
of animes as well steve what do you make of this

01:37:11.350 –> 01:37:16.050
like when we look back at our top 100 that we

01:37:16.050 –> 01:37:20.649
do in this next year like and we look specifically

01:37:20.649 –> 01:37:22.869
at the shows that make the list from the 2000s

01:37:22.869 –> 01:37:25.909
what do you think it’ll be like what will it

01:37:25.909 –> 01:37:28.350
represent i think it’ll represent people that

01:37:28.350 –> 01:37:33.000
grew up during this time especially with, or

01:37:33.000 –> 01:37:36.779
even people that have just finally noticed some

01:37:36.779 –> 01:37:38.659
of the shows that are in there. I think that

01:37:38.659 –> 01:37:42.319
this, this particular block will be telling,

01:37:42.380 –> 01:37:45.119
and I think it’ll be a little bit stronger than

01:37:45.119 –> 01:37:50.619
say pre 1980s. I think this one will, whatever

01:37:50.619 –> 01:37:54.539
overabundance we had in the pre 1980s and the,

01:37:54.560 –> 01:37:56.420
you know, the first we’ll go around. I think

01:37:56.420 –> 01:37:58.800
that this one’s going to take even more away

01:37:58.800 –> 01:38:01.760
from it. Yeah, and I think I think it even has

01:38:01.760 –> 01:38:03.979
that opportunity to take some of the 1980s with

01:38:03.979 –> 01:38:07.140
it, too, just because this was kind of the new

01:38:07.140 –> 01:38:11.800
era of it was kind of a weird time to in animation.

01:38:11.859 –> 01:38:16.060
We had a mixture of a lot of different animation

01:38:16.060 –> 01:38:19.600
styles. There was there was some CG. There was

01:38:19.600 –> 01:38:23.000
there was some simpler versions of the 90s stuff.

01:38:23.060 –> 01:38:25.640
There was. some stuff that was trying something

01:38:25.640 –> 01:38:28.680
new with animation you got the cal art style

01:38:28.680 –> 01:38:35.000
you got uh more just a lot more variety going

01:38:35.000 –> 01:38:40.239
on in styles of animation and some and again

01:38:40.239 –> 01:38:42.420
like we’ve noticed like there are certain things

01:38:42.420 –> 01:38:44.420
that resonate with some of us more than others

01:38:44.420 –> 01:38:46.979
like if we grew up with a certain style or you

01:38:46.979 –> 01:38:49.960
know a particular design aesthetic it’s going

01:38:49.960 –> 01:38:53.180
to stick more than some of the more uh obscure

01:38:53.180 –> 01:38:57.520
or different styles which some of the ones that

01:38:57.520 –> 01:39:01.020
are here that i was not a fan of the animation

01:39:01.020 –> 01:39:04.640
style there’s going to be even more in the next

01:39:04.640 –> 01:39:08.279
block right and there’s going to be a big chunk

01:39:08.279 –> 01:39:10.640
that i just don’t give a rip there’s going to

01:39:10.640 –> 01:39:15.039
be a lot of cgi though yeah I’ll be interested

01:39:15.039 –> 01:39:18.000
to see if everybody listening wants to get in

01:39:18.000 –> 01:39:20.399
some early commentary on this. You can let us

01:39:20.399 –> 01:39:22.460
know what your thoughts are on some of these

01:39:22.460 –> 01:39:24.399
nominees too. And I’d definitely be interested

01:39:24.399 –> 01:39:27.800
to hear where everybody else lands on this particular

01:39:27.800 –> 01:39:29.720
decade and how it’s going to turn out. Is it

01:39:29.720 –> 01:39:31.699
going to go from 12 to 22 and we’re going to

01:39:31.699 –> 01:39:34.020
get 10 additional shows that we didn’t have the

01:39:34.020 –> 01:39:37.520
first time around? I think this section is specifically

01:39:37.520 –> 01:39:42.039
going to have the most movement as far as numbers

01:39:42.039 –> 01:39:46.380
wise. either a lot jumping up or some maybe fading

01:39:46.380 –> 01:39:49.760
away still um but i think a lot have the potential

01:39:49.760 –> 01:39:52.640
to gain ground that we’re coming out real close

01:39:52.640 –> 01:39:54.539
to the time that we did this the first time around

01:39:54.539 –> 01:39:59.840
yep and my only hope for next time is that the

01:39:59.840 –> 01:40:06.479
7d gets in here because the 7d deserves it those

01:40:06.479 –> 01:40:10.520
dwarves have been through a lot y ‘all they have

01:40:10.520 –> 01:40:14.140

  • Hey guys,

    Thanks for making this. I’ve been following these top 100 nominees roll-outs and been exciting for the votes. However, the shortlist for this 2000s era is underwhelming in my view. As a person who grew up during this period, I feel that the decade is much richer than what represented here.

    There are a few issues with this list as following:
    1) More than any other decades, you include too many children shows (Dora the Explorer, Peppa Pigs, The Backyardigans, Dinosaur Train, Clifford the Red Dog, Curious George). While I would welcome kids-friendly shows in the shortlist, the panel didn’t make a good case why they appear on the list (“this is a kid show, I’m not the main audience”) and some of them received no votes from previous countdown. Justice League and Justice League: Unlimited should combine into one.

    2) The anime shows in this list are not the best presentation of 2000s anime. For instance, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (2009) should be the one over the 2003 version. It’s the version where it follows faithfully to the manga and received widespread reception. I would argue you can separate the 2003 and 2009 as two entities but if you have to choose one, it’s the Brotherhood version. Likewise, Inuyasha and Yugioh (Mike will disagree with me here) are not the best ones for “anime blocks. Other shows like Gurren Lagaan (2007) or Monster (2004) and Baccano (2007 – people assess that if Tarantino directed an anime, that would result like this one) are much more popular and critically acclaimed, just to name a few.

    Here’s the list that I feel strongly is top-100 contenders (limit to 5):
    1) Clone High (2002): it has since received critical acclaim and a cult following despite its short run.
    2) Metalcalypse (2006): as a whole I feel Adult Swim is under-represented in this list. Like them or not, they were influential in the 2000s. Also fit under this are: Sealab 2021 (2000), Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (2001), Frisky Dingo (2006). The first and the last are from Adam Reed before he made it big with Archer
    3) Shaun the Sheep (2007): If there is one children show this decade that deserves to be in the top100, it’s this one. Both children and adults can enjoy.
    4) Totally Spies (2001): this was popular back in the day. You can also consider other French-productions such as Wakfu (2008) or Code Lyoko (2003).
    5) Red vs Blue (2003): I feel this one is a great example for a web series that managed to cross over. Web series become a big thing as well as the end of the decade.

    Here’s some anime recommendation for this list (lesser known but critically-acclaimed – limit to 5)
    1) Mushishi (2005)
    2) Nana (2006)
    3) Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit (2007)
    4) Planetes (2003)
    5) Paranoia Agent (2004): the great Satoshi Kon’s only series

    Some others recommendation that could sit in this 50 list (limit to 5)
    1) Moral Orel (2005): a very daring and twisted stop-motion show, again from Adult Swim
    2) The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (2008)
    3) Tom Goes to the Mayor (2004) & The Life and Times of Tim (2008): same creators
    4) Total Drama (2007)
    5) Chowder (2007)

    This, again, just a list of shows that I feel need more attention, and too bad we couldn’t vote for any of these in the final countdown. You guys have a solid pre-80s, 80s, and 90s shortlists, so I just feel a bit let down to have the 2000s list not as strong or vibrant as these ones. Maybe like Mike mentioned you guys could sample its first 5 episodes to see if any of these ones could be great alternatives instead?

    Still cheers to you guys for all the efforts you’ve been putting!! Bravo!!

    • Hi SuperMario,

      I can understand your stance on the kids programs, but honestly those still have staying power. We also left shows off that didn’t have longevity. I’d argue half the kid shows are still good. But the JL/JLU I can see being one, but they are technically different much like your argument of Full Metal Alchemist. But we didn’t list Dragon Ball Z Kai for the same reason that it was Dragon Ball Z truncated but essentially the same show. So while I can see your point, I disagree with it.

      Regarding Inuyasha and Yugioh, I remember those on cable and Toonami. I had to look up Gurren Lagaan, Monster, and Baccano to even know what they were not having heard of these as anime.

      I remember Metalocalypse, Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Totally Spies and Code Lyoko, but those were examined by multiple people even outside of the three of us for a gut check and they didn’t make it.

      Regarding Red vs Blue, we are not covering web series so that’s why it wasn’t covered. We did not cover Roosterteeth or Machinima related series despite it’s acclaim because it wasn’t on mainstream cable/streaming platforms.

      Regarding your recommendations, never heard of any of those outside of Total Drama and Chowder.

      That being said, there will be a form and opportunities for listeners to contribute their own 15 recommended shows to be ADDED to the Top 100 countdown as listener choice that we can then vote on across the generations. So a total of 15 where the ones with the most votes or write-ins get entered into our Top 100 Countdown for voting.

      So while I’d love to tackle watching some of these, I have a long list still to get to on the existing list. Whatever ones make it past the fan vote, I’ll check those if I haven’t seen it yet and give it a fair shake for the next Top 100 which we’re recording in March 2026.

      Thanks for the kind words and constructive criticisms.

      • Thanks Steve for your response.

        Will certainly contribute to the Fan-vote list once I go through your 2010s nominees podcast. Just a note that the Fan Vote link in the webpage is invalid.

        I’d recommend you all to check out the “The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows” by David Perlmutter (if you haven’t already). Like the title suggests, they list all the series that air in the USA from the early days up to 2017. There is a comment section on each entry where they give brief reviews / their own takes. I found them very useful and informative and it would be a great source for you guys for second opinions / some references of what the consensus are.

        Like all reviews, the book has certain bias, sometimes similar to you guys (their love for superheroes and dissent for Adult Swim), and some totally different (they regard the 80s as the worst era for American animated series. In any case, it’s worth checking out as a reference for this project.

        • Thanks again for the suggestion and comments! I’m gonna seek out that book now because it’d be nice to have that as an option to look back on some of these shows, over digging online.

          I’ll admit, we all have that bias, and I get it. I’m heavy towards the 80s, 90s, and the random associated shows or Anime within a certain animation/tonal style. I can see the opinion of the 80s being bad, but it did give us future content and revivals of those shows in a more gritty light.

          Appreciate the feedbac,k and looking forward to your comments on the 2010 episode!
