Damn, I forgot about the simpsons. That definitely goes into my list.

Interestingly, just about everyone in this thread has mentioned it, perhaps we should simply declare it the best bit of non-scifi tv ever, and then put it up against farscape (or whatever that other thread concludes with) for the title of "the utterly definitely bestest thing on tv of any kind in the whole world ever."

The Simpsons may be great (personally I'm not a fan!) but I wouldn't place it in the same Category as live-action shows (you know with actors!) I would place it near the top of a "Best Animated Non-Sci-Fi Series". (My pic for the best in this Category would have to be "The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour")

..Now for Best Animated Sci-Fi series my votes would go for either "The Jetsons", or "Rocket Robin Hood"

..another 2 cents from my humble self!

Cheers!

I have to disagree. Just for atmosphere and storyline, I say that Batman is the best animated show ever, and followed up by Superman. I haven't had the chance to watch Justice League yet, but I'm sure it's of the same quality.

But there is more life in Homer then in all actors from your average show !

Best animated Sci-Fi series? I vote for Gundam Wing. Giant mecha combat and an incredibly complex storyline!

Slow motion cameras actually take more pictures. They only become slow when you play the tape back at normal speeds.

Every once in a while someone asks an easy question. This one is sooooo easy.

The best show ever:

VENGEANCE UNLIMITED

In case you didn't hear that:

VENGEANCE UNLIMITED

I damn near quit watching TV when they cancelled it. No other show even comes close to this one and I'll bet there isn't one in ten who remember it.

(I have all the episodes on tape!)

I think quality is more important than quantity. It's better to have one very beautiful slow-motion running girl running on the beach, then to have twenty average-looking girls running fast.

And what about the A-team, THAT was the best serie....well when I was 10-15.
I really loved the end game, when they had to come with something to K.O. all the bad guys.
And that serie was also very good, because no one was killed, although millions of guns were fired.
But when I saw it some months ago...... did I really liked that serie.

But my other vote will go to married with children.

NO'MAM rules!!!
