Garfield and Friends

***Garfield and Friends*** is a 1988-1994 American television animated series based on the comic strip works by Jim Davis, which features short subjects such as Garfield and US Acres/Orson’s Farm. It aired on CBS.

## Why It Rocks

1. Faithful to both the *Garfield* and *US Acres* comic strips.
2. The *Quickies* are entertaining, cute and funny, and some of them are adaptations of the comic strips.
3. The characters are funny, likable and have such good spirits.
4. The voice acting is decent.
5. Entertaining humor and slapstick. The fourth wall breaking humor is also pretty enjoyable.
6. There some moments that are heartwarming, emotional and funny, especially in some of the US Acres episodes.
7. Splendid animation that captures the styles of both Garfield and US acres perfectly.
8. The opening theme songs like "Friends are There" and "We're Ready to Party" are very enjoyable and fun to listen to.
9. "Mistakes will Happen" makes a jab at animation errors in cartoons at the time.

## Bad Qualities

1. The rap song used in Season 7, while enjoyable, is kind of bland.
2. The early US Acres episodes can be a little too preachy.
3. The recent Boomerang remasters of the episodes (Which is supposedly the remaster PAWS promised back in June) is a straight downgrade with a horribly reanimated intro, unnecessary cropping and use of screen borders on each episode, with the episodes zoomed in, making this so called remastered version worthless. The credits are also replaced with a cheap static background with the original audio intact.
	* However, the only good thing about this so-called "remastered" version is the color correction used for all the episodes, and that is it. Everything else about this remaster is utter garbage. The worst part is, *Speed Racer*, an anime from 22 **years** earlier before this show, had a much better remaster, whilst this remaster is inexcusable and pathetic.
4. Its follow up "The Garfield Show", is a major disappointment and fails to live up to the standards of this show, or even understand what Garfield is in general.
Glitch Techs

***Glitch Techs*** is a Nickelodeon and Netflix animated series created by Eric Robles and Dan Milano for Nickelodeon and Netflix.

## Plot

Two kids are recruited to battle video game monsters that have found their way into the real world.

## Why It Rocks

1. The animation is very fluid, especially in the fight scenes and in the theme song.
2. Pleasing art-style, with geometric character designs and a vibrant color palette.
3. The story is compelling and similar to *Ghostbusters*.
4. A lot of video game references, like to *Pokemon* and *Castlevania*.
5. Well-developed characters, including Five and Miko, who have a nice back-and-forth dynamic with each other.
6. The soundtrack is unique, as it is inspired by retro games, and the theme song is really catchy.
7. It's one of Nickelodeon's best shows in a long while.
8. The episode "Adventures in Pet Training" is really heart-felt and emotional.
9. Season 2 introduces new characters, including a game modder named Ridley as well as Mitch's siblings.

## Bad Qualities

1. The dialogue can be cringeworthy at times.
2. Nickelodeon screwed it over a few times by delaying it and then moving it on Netflix along with *Pinky Malinky*.
3. "Find the Glitch" was just an unended clip show episode.
Kipper (TV Series)

Kipper is a British animated children's television series based on the characters from Mick Inkpen's Kipper the Dog picture book series, It ran from September 5, 1997 to December 21, 2000.

## Why It Rocks

1. The show is very faithful to the original books as some episodes are based off some of the books and the animation style looks exactly like the books.
2. Kipper is a likable and enjoyable protagonist.
3. It's a great slice of life feel.
4. The voice acting is great and is pleasant to listen to.
5. There are handful of great characters including Tiger, Arnold, Jake and Pig.
6. Some enjoyable episodes including "The Visitor", "The Seaside”, "The Costume Party" and etc.
7. The music by Bob Heatlie is wonderful to listen to.
8. The animation is awesome.
9. The theme song is very catchy and awesome to listen to.

## Bad Qualities

1. Pig can be selfish and dumb sometimes:
	* In "The Picnic", he invited himself and Arnold to Kipper and Tiger’s picnic and eats their remaining food.
	* In "Clay Time", Pig came over to Kipper’s house and he thought Kipper and Tiger’s clay were cookies and accidentally eats one of them.
	* He also can be too bossy to Arnold sometimes in some episodes.
2. Some episodes can have some scary imagery, for example, one episode called "The Magic Lamp" had a scene where Kipper and Tiger end up in an unknown and mysterious planet-like land where a dragon resides. The dragon's design looked a bit creepy, so it would be possible that it scared children who watched the episode. This episode could've been banned from television for that aforementioned reason.
3. The show can lack realism at times, one example is in the episode "Buried Treasure", where Kipper and Tiger eat fudge treats and feed some to ducks. Since Kipper and Tiger are dogs, fudge is made of chocolate, which could poison or kill dogs. Same thing for the ducks since chocolate is bad for ducks as well.
4. There are less female characters than there are in the books. The mouse that lives in Kippers house who appeared in 6 episodes is one example. However, in the original books, there was this character named Holly, who appeared in the book version of "Pigs Present", as well all some of the other original books, but was mentioned in the episode adaption of the aforementioned book and made no physical appearance.
Fireman Sam (Seasons 1-5)

***Fireman Sam*** (also known as ***Sam Tân***) is a Welsh children's television series. It is based around the inhabitants of Welsh town Pontypandy (a portmanteau of the names of two real-life towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy), especially firefighter Sam Jones, It ran from 1987 onwards with 12 Seasons in total. While the original series ran for 4 seasons, it would later be revived by HiT entertainment for a 5th season, and after that, the show would be rebooted as a CGI show in Season 6.

## Why These Seasons Rock

1. Catchy music, including the theme song and the rescue theme.
2. Nice stop-motion animation, especially in season 5.
3. Really good action.
4. Impressive voice acting. Notably in the first four seasons, every character was voiced by John Alderton.
5. Likable and/or funny characters such as Elvis Cridlington, Penny Morris, Norman Price, Sarah and James, Bella Lasagne and Tom Thomas.
6. Tons of memorable episodes:
	* *Flat Tyre*
	* *Steele Under Par*
	* *Rich and Famous*
	* *The Big Freeze*
	* *Danger Falling Sheep*
7. Plenty of funny moments.
8. It teaches kids about fire safety.
9. Creative and interesting plots.
10. Great use of camera angles, mostly in season 5.
11. Season 5 managed to be a massive improvement to the series:
	* As stated earlier, the stop-motion animation looks absolutely brilliant and is a huge step-up from the first four seasons.
	* It is the first Season of *Fireman Sam* to be displayed in 16:9.
	* The new voice actors are amazing and are just as good as John Alderton's voice acting in the first four seasons.
	* The new characters that were introduced are great including Tom Thomas, Mandy Flood, Woolly, Dusty, Mike Flood and Helen Flood.
	* Unlike in Season 6-present, continuity from the first four seasons are still present. For example, in the episode *High Jinx*, Elvis finds Sam's Patented Potato Picker from *Barn Fire*.
12. The 20-minute winter special *Snow Business* is wonderful.

## Bad Qualities

1. The stop-motion animation in Seasons 1-4, while good, is a bit flawed and cheap looking at times. For example, there is a scene where a tree can be seen moving in the background in *The Kite* and there is also a scene where Norman grabs a piece fruit and the silver bowl next to the fruit basket can be seen moving. Fortunately, as mentioned above, the animation quality improved significantly in Season 5.
2. Some characters look a bit old for their age, Sarah and James for example look older than five-year olds in Seasons 1-4, similarly, Norman looks a lot older than 7 in Season 5.
3. Whilst the voice acting in Season 5 is still impressive like the previous seasons, some of it can be a little iffy, such as the voices for Dilys and Bella.
4. Ever since the show switched to CGI in Season 6, the show has been going downhill ever since.

## Reception

Fireman Sam was positively received from critics and audiences alike. Season 6 to present has been met with extremely negative reviews.

The series currently sits at a 6.4/10 on IMDb and a 7/10 on TV.com
Kim Possible

**Kim Possible** is an American animated action comedy-adventure television series created by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle that originally aired on Disney Channel from June 7, 2002 to September 7, 2007.

## Plot

The series revolved around a high school student named Kim Possible who becomes a freelance heroine after rescuing Mr. McHenry who made a typing error and contacted her babysitting site. Though an exceptionally gifted heroine, she is still at heart a teenager so in addition to battling wacky villains like Dr. Draken, she still hangs out with friends and works on her love life.

## Why It Rocks

1. Great animation with excellent character designs.
2. Fluent action scenes, rarely easy to animate well in an animated series.
3. Very likable characters, like Kim Possible herself and her best friend (later boyfriend) Ron Stoppable.
4. Great voice acting with the actors having tons of chemistry.
5. Great soundtrack, especially the theme song, *Call Me, Beep Me,* and some other notable songs like *The Naked Mole Rap*, *Say the Word*, *Rappin' Drakken* and *Could It Be?*
6. Actually shows a strong female character without dumbing down most of the guys or making them stereotypical jerks (not counting the supervillains). Take a note on that, *Nutcracker and the Four Realms*.
7. The sidekick Ron Stoppable shows great courage when facing danger even though he is not as skilled as her (not counting the Monkey Kung-Fu he acquired).
8. Numerous supervillains, from Dr. Drakken, Shego, DNAmy, and Monkey Fist (who was actually Ron's archenemy). Dr. Drakken and Shego in particular have amazing chemistry and easily steal the show.
9. Lots of funny jokes, especially from Ron and Drakken.
10. One of the Disney Channel's longest lasting cartoons at 87 episodes. It originally lasted for only 3 seasons and 65 episodes, but got one more season because of fan outcry.
11. The success of the series spawned three television films *Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time*, *Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama*, and the infamous live-action Kim Possible movie released in 2019.

## Proposed Revival

* In 2010, after the series premiere of TUFF Puppy, Carlos Ramos came up on trying to bring The X's for a second season to resolve the cliffhanger ending and he said "I have some pieces that I think are good, but I don't have them all together, because I loved the characters and their universe they live, I don't make them really cliched. I have lots of elements that I think will work really well in another installment of The X's, if I can get enough time to be developing".

## Trivia

* *Ren & Stimpy* creator John Kricfalusi voiced a minor character called Bowling Alley Guy in the episode "Pinheads".
American Dad!

***American Dad!*** is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. *American Dad!* is the first television series to have its inception on Animation Domination. The series premiered on February 6, 2005, following Super Bowl XXXIX, three months before the rest of the first season aired as part of the Animation Domination block, commencing on May 1, 2005.

## Plot

The series focuses on the eccentric upper middle class Smith family in the fictional community of Langley Falls, Virginia and their three housemates: Father, husband, CIA agent, Republican, and breadwinner Stan; his wife and homemaker/housewife, Francine; their liberal, hippie, college-aged daughter, Hayley; and their dorky high-school-aged son, Steve. There are three additional main characters, including Hayley's boyfriend and later husband, Jeff Fischer; the family's unusual goldfish, Klaus, who has the brain of an East German athlete; and Roger, the alien, who is a deceitful, self-serving master of disguise. Stan's boss Avery Bullock, the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, is a recurring character.

## Why It Rocks

1. Great animation, despite being exactly like *Family Guy.*
2. Decent voice acting, especially from MacFarlane himself.
3. Very catchy and memorable theme song that proved how faithful it is to the United States.
4. Some episodes have very epic action scenes.
5. Clever writing and humor. It doesn't help that, unlike Family Guy, the jokes have actual relevance to the plot.
6. Roger the Alien is a great comic relief character.
7. Roger's disguises are some of the best things about the show, especially his "pure evil" alter-ego Ricky Spanish.
8. Tons of memorable characters, such as the aforementioned Roger, Avery Bullock and Principal Lewis.
9. Good character designs. Stan and Roger's character designs are very recognizable and funny.
10. Was the first Seth MacFarlane shows to not make any cutaway gags just for a change. This helps the show to be unique from Family Guy.
11. Great episodes like "Rapture's Delight", "Stan Of Arabia", "Tearjerker", "Rabbit Ears", "American Dream Factory", "Dope And Faith", "Spring Break Up", "Haylias" and "American Dad After School Special"
12. Many likeable characters.
13. There were some characters from Family Guy appearing in some episodes of this show.
14. Unlike Family Guy, it stays consistent.
15. Great singing musicals.
16. Rogu is such a hilarious character.

## Bad Qualities

1. The very early episodes are very dated and weird to those used to the later episodes.
2. Some terrible episodes like "American Fung", "The Mural Of The Story", "Stan's Best Friend", and "Love, AD Style".
3. Minor overuse of incest jokes, especially in the episode: "Pulling Double Booty".
4. Sometimes Stan can be pretty unlikable of a character.

## Reception

*American Dad has received positive reception from critics. It currently sits at 7.3/10 on IMDb. And an 8.4/10 on TV.com. It is considered to be one of the greatest adult cartoons of all time.*
T.U.F.F. Puppy

**T.U.F.F. Puppy** is an 2010 American Nickelodeon animated television series created by Butch Hartman, who also did Bunsen is a Beast (after T.U.F.F. Puppy ended), The Fairly OddParents, and Danny Phantom.

## Why It Rocks

1. The action scenes are incredible!
2. The show was made by the same guy who made The Fairly OddParents, Butch Hartman.
3. The characters are pretty likable.
4. Dudley Puppy himself is pretty funny.
5. Excellent voice acting. Jerry Trainor and Grey DeLisle did a very good job on voicing Dudley and Kitty Katswell.
6. The theme song of the show is catchy, but mostly amazing at the same time.
7. The animation is actually well done.
8. Hilarious running gags and clever jokes.
9. The music score is great.
10. It was one of the Modern Nickelodeon cartoons that wasn't at all terrible. And that's saying a lot since Nickelodeon had been having quite a record lately.
11. The last episode of the show was decent at best.

## Bad Qualities

1. "Sob Story" was a pretty infamous episode of the series for how annoying and it is, and it also felt like "The City of Frownsville" from the original Powerpuff Girls series because of it's dreaded synopsis. Plus, it's message is if you cry, you get what you want. We get that it's meant to be part of dumb comedy, but that doesn't excuse anything.
2. There are some moments where the humor can get a little carried away and repetitive. Like when Kitty gets injured by Dudley so much, that it seems rather pitiful than funny.
3. It was never explained why it was cancelled in 2015.
4. Possibly due to the fact it was moved to Nicktoons, and suffered a decline in ratings.
5. Dudley can be pretty annoying at times.
6. Some parts of the entire show can be very cliche & showing little to no identity at times, like Dudley having no intelligence with his childishly happy-go-lucky nature when he's needed because of the "stupid dog" cliche since CatDog.

## Reception

### Critical

Following the show's premiere, the series received mixed reviews.

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the series 2 out of 5 stars; criticizing the “iffy messages” the show sends to kids and the frequent use of name calling, but adding, “Kitty’s attractive appearance and overly emotional response to Dudley’s successes are memorable.”

The series has a massive fanbase and is considered to be one of the most underrated Nicktoons of all-time.

The show recieved positive reception on Google as it holds a 93%, which translates to a 4.65/5.

Jimmy Holden

Jimmy, 70, drives around with grandson, James III, in a garbage truck filled with various “treasures” he’s collected - mostly odds and ends and pieces of junk he’s discovers along the way. He also collects filth on his body as he’s not too fond of stopping to take baths. One of Jimmy’s most prized possessions is a UFO that was salvaged from the wreckage of the crash landing sight outside of Big Pizza. The existence of this UFO confirms one of Joe’s theories that PizzaCo is weaponizing alien technology.
Scooby Doo, Where Are You!

***Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!*** is an American animated mystery comedy television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions Inc.. Produced for CBS, the series premiered as part of the network's Saturday morning schedule on September 13, 1969, and aired for two seasons until October 31, 1970. In 1978, a selection of episodes from the later series, *Scooby's All-Stars* and *The Scooby-Doo Show*, were aired on ABC under the *Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!* name and, as such, is sometimes marketed as its third season.

## Summary

A group of teenage friends and their Great Dane (Scooby-Doo) travel in a bright green van called the "Mystery Machine" solving strange and hilarious mysteries, while returning from or going to a regular teenage function.

## Why It Rocks

1. Good animation.
2. It started an incredibly beloved franchise.
3. The idea of a talking dog and a group of teens going ghost-hunting and mystery-solving is very original.
4. Interesting characters with different types of personalities.
5. Many of the main characters have catchphrases that'll never get old.
	* For example: Velma's catchphrase *"Jinkies!"*, Shaggy's *"Zoinks!"* or Daphne's *"Jeepers!"*.
6. Funny moments and running gags, such as Scooby and Shaggy's endless craving for food or how the others have to convince Scooby to continue the mystery by bribing him with Scooby-Snacks.
7. Catchy and timeless theme song.
8. The memorable phrase *"I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"* from the villains.
9. Spawned many spin-offs and movies to the point that there are 2 movies made **every year**.
10. Great voice acting, especially from Don Messick, Casey Kasem and Frank Welker.
11. To this day, Scooby-Doo has shown to be a very popular main character for child viewers and has become one of Hanna-Barbera’s most popular cartoon characters.
	* He's also one of the most popular cartoon dogs in animation history.
12. The series had a crossover with *Johnny Bravo*.

## Bad Qualities

1. A rather obnoxious laugh track that sometimes plays at things that aren't even funny.
	* Fortunately, versions that don't have the laugh track exist.
2. The animation, while good, is frequently recycled, especially the running animations.
	* There are also animation errors all over the place, which was typical of '60s and '70s television animation.
3. The dialogue heavily uses exposition. Characters frequently state the obvious, even things that are being shown on-screen.
4. Velma's acting isn't the best.
5. Not all of the jokes land, especially the one-liners.
Bob the Builder (1998 TV Series)

**Bob the Builder** is a British children's stop-motion animated series created by Keith Chapman (who also created other cartoons for the UK and also a Canadian cartoon for Nickelodeon called PAW Patrol). It aired from 1998 in the UK (2001 in the US) to 2012, as the original designs of this show took on hiatus and the reboot started in 2015 and ended in 2018. The next Bob the Builder show with the return of the original designs is yet to be announced.

## Why It Rocks

1. The stop-motion animation is wonderful for 1998 standards.
2. The theme song is very catchy and fun to listen to.
3. The voice acting is great, not to mention that some character's voices including Lofty's voice is pretty cute.
4. Likeable characters such as Scoop, Roley, Muck, Dizzy, Lofty, and Travis and some really funny ones like Spud the Scarecrow.
5. This show has a cartoony style, which works really well.
6. The CGI in Ready, Steady, Build! was also pretty good and takes an interesting approach by making the CGI imitate the look of the models rather than do what shows like Thomas & Friends did with redesigning the characters and buildings into CGI.
7. It provides great morals for kids, such as working together.
8. Rob Rackstraw doing a lot of voices in the UK dub for other characters in the series is really impressive.
9. The album version of "Can We Fix It?" is catchy as the original theme song, and it reached Christmas #1 in 2000 during its major success in the United Kingdom.
	* Similarly, their cover of Mambo No.5 became number one in UK Singles Charts in 2001.
10. It had some great specials like "A Christmas To Remember", "Snowed Under", "Built to Be Wild" and etc.
	* **Elton John even made a guest appearance in one of the specials.**

## Bad Qualities

1. While Ready Steady Build is pretty decent, the stories can get pretty formulaic and repetitive at times, this also applies to some episodes in the Project Build It series. Though the repetitiveness in those series nowhere near as bad as it is in the reboot.
2. The US dub is (arguably) not as good the UK version, while the voices are okay, they don't seem to capture the same charm as the UK version does. Though, a lot of Americans loved the US dub of the show. Project Build It improved it a bit.
	* While Project Build It’s US dub is an improvement to the dub from the Original Series, Greg Proops's voice for Bob in the US doesn't sound as good as the other US voice given by William Dufris. He also makes Bob sound too much like Fred from Scooby-Doo.
	* Despite being male in the UK dub, Muck was changed to female in the US dub for some reason, it is very unnecessary to change him to a female as no one was complaining about the lack of females in this show, not to mention that it is also confusing for fans of both the UK and US dub (though the reboot changed him back to a male character).
3. While the animation in Ready Steady Build is pretty good, it can be jarring how the machines talk with their grill mouths as it looks weird for some characters (mainly Roley and Travis).

## Reception

Bob the Builder received positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.
Robot and Monster

**Robot and Monster** is a Nickelodeon television show which aired on August 4, 2012 through March 4, 2015.

## Plot

The series follows the day-to-day lives of Robot Default, a genius inventor, living with his roommate Monster Krumholtz, a cheerful and enthuastic purple creature.

## Good Qualities

1. Robot and Monster are funny and likable characters.
2. The show sends out such great morals such as " You shouldn't let fear run in your life", or "Fame isn't everything".
3. The animation is really good.
4. Such funny moments.
5. **One character to sum this series up:**Marf.
6. The show has a creative use of slapstick.
7. The concept is really interesting and is full on well executed.
8. It's really fascinating that the background characters are usually drafted by different personalities.
9. The songs "I Love Love" and "Take the Spiders Outside" are really catchy.

## Bad Qualities

1. The show's pretty mean-spirited mostly to Robot.
2. The show didn't have a lore, and Nickelodeon didn't have that much faith in the show.
3. Robot's family is very unlikable as they shun Robot just because he isn't snobby like the rest of them.
4. Some bad episodes such as "Doctor, No" and "Litterbug".
5. Due to the low ratings and lack of recognition from other viewers, the show was moved to Nicktoons with the episodes being aired out of order.
	* It was cancelled after one season.
6. The Punch Morley memory loss running gag is a tad annoying.
The Looney Tunes Show

***The Looney Tunes Show*** is an animated series that ran from 2011 to 2014. It aired on Cartoon Network, and is based on the *Looney Tunes* franchise.

## Summary

In a sitcom take on *Looney Tunes*, the series follows the antics of roommates Bugs and Daffy, as well as their friends, like Bugs' dense girlfriend Lola, Daffy's feisty, no-nonsense girlfriend Tina Russo, stuttering, naïve and innocent Porky Pig, and many others. In addition, episodes typically include a song in a segment called *Merrie Melodies*, and in Season 1, a CGI segment called *Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote*, new CGI shorts focusing on the titular duo.

## Why It Rocks

1. Great animation for both the 2D segments and the 3D Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote shorts. The 2D segments in particular evoke the cel animation of the classic shorts.
2. The characters are as lovable as ever, and so are newcomers like Tina Russo.
	* Lola’s characterization is hilarious, makes the show feel alive, and is a lot more fleshed out than her *Space Jam* persona.
3. The premise of putting the Tunes in a sitcom-esque environment is unique.
4. Great episodes, such as “Here Comes the Pig”.
5. Funny moments, like Daffy’s moments of stupidity.
6. The series manages to retain the clever humor from the original shorts.
7. Amazing voice acting.
8. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote CGI shorts in Season 1 are very funny, like the classic shorts were.
9. The “That’s all, Folks!” gags in the Warner Bros. Animation logo are creative, and a nice nod to the Warner Bros. logo in *The Bugs Bunny Show*.
10. Catchy songs, especially in the *Merrie Melodies* segments.

## Bad Qualities

1. The premise, while unique, is very divisive, as the series is traditionally slapstick-based.
2. The arrangements of the iconic theme songs can be way too dissonant, not unlike Bill Lava’s take on "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" in the 1960s.
3. A few bad episodes, such as "Fish and Visitors" and "The Float".
Daria

***Daria*** is an American animated sitcom created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn for MTV. The series focuses on Daria Morgendorffer, a smart, acerbic, and somewhat misanthropic teenage girl who observes the world around her. This show is a spin-off of another MTV show called *Beavis and Butthead.*

## Why It Rocks

1. The theme song has a decent message. It already captures Daria's personality and the atmosphere of the entire show in general.
2. The chemistry between Daria and Jane is pretty great.
3. It was the one show that stood out from MTV's usual shtick (music videos, airheads etc.)
4. How Daria delivers her lines is hilarious, especially in Seasons 1 to 3.
5. Daria became so popular in *Beavis and Butthead* that she got her own spin-off show. How cool is that?
6. Gives great morals that are related to growing up.
7. We see the world through the eyes of a sarcastic teenage girl who doesn't care, which is a very unique concept.
8. The show gives a view on every that is wrong with society, which is a smart idea for a show and well executed in this show.
9. Hilariously realistic situations that viewers can relate to.
10. The character development in this show is unforced and well-done.
11. One of the most mature teen angsty shows of its time.
12. Unbelievably well written.
13. Impressive voice acting
14. For a monotone, carefree teenage outcast, Daria is one of the funniest characters on MTV. She could make one crack by just smiling.
15. Captured what the 90s were really like. If one wanted to know what it was like being a teen from the 90s instead of now, they could just watch at least one episode from this show.
16. Looks at the stereotypes at school in a different way to other shows. It also looks at everything that's wrong with school in a logical way.
17. Like most adult cartoons of its time, *Daria* still remained an iconic show for more than 20 years.

## Bad Qualities

1. Even for 90s cartoon standards, the animation could still be better.
2. Character designs can be off-putting.
3. It's been argued that the show went downhill in the later seasons. (Daria got a boyfriend?)
4. Background design isn't that great to look at sometimes.
5. *Daria* sometimes turned into a typical teen romance drama in some episodes, which is not what it's supposed to be about.
6. The beginning of the theme song can be very ear-piercing to people.
7. Despite having a great message, some people may think of the theme tune as lazy just because of the overall tone.

10. Both of the season finales were epic.
11. Speaking of which, it has a sequel called *Justice League Unlimited*, which was also good.
12. It helped Martian Manhunter become famous and be an associate to the league.

## Bad Qualities

1. It is kinda shows what killed Batman Beyond.
2. The CGI in the intro is very bad.

4. Likable characters, such as Bloom, Flora, Stella, Musa, Tecna, Aisha, and Roxy.
5. Amazing plots.
6. Fantastic stories such as Bloom’s quest to search for her birth parents in the first three seasons.

9. Lots of interesting villains such as the Trix, Lord Dakar, Valtor, and the Wizards of Black Circle

## Bad Qualities

1. Some people find it cheesy.
2. The Butterflix dance can be really cringeworthy.

2. The theme song is really nice and catchy.

7. A lot of action going on.
8. Perry the Platypus is an awesome character, and his "Agent P" theme song is incredibly catchy.

10. Nice and smooth animation.
11. Funny and creative running gags.
	* Doofenshmirtz saying *"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"* almost every time he’s been defeated.
	* Candace trying to get her brothers busted and always failing.
	* Someone saying *"Hey, where's Perry?"*, then cutting to Perry going to his secret spy organization.
	* Dooofenshmirtz’s "-inators" always failing because of Agent P.
	* Phineas and Ferb’s activities always disappearing because of Doofenshmirtz and Agent P’s side of the story.
	* Doofenshmirtz having a backstory for each of his "-inators".
12. It spawned a TV-movie called “Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension”, which is very enjoyable to watch.
13. It did a crossover with Marvel and Star Wars, two companies that are owned by Disney, ***how amazing is that?!***
14. Isabella Garcia-Shapiro is an adorable, sweet, and so cute character, and most people would find her quote "Whatcha doin'?" humorous.
15. In addition to Across the 2nd Dimension, the show also got called ”Candace Against the Universe” for Disney+, which was also good.
16. A lot of funny gags inspired by cartoons from the Golden Age of Animation such as Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.

## Bad Qualities

2. A few of the characters are either very unlikable or just plain annoying.
3. Although the animation is amazing, Season 1 had a few times where the animation fell into the Uncanny Valley due to the amount of freedom it had (especially in The Ballad of Badbeard).
4. Almost all the episodes follow the same formula all over again.
	* With that said, this show rarely has any actual bad episode, but one good example of a bad episode is Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!.
5. The later seasons became less about Phineas and Ferb's activities and more about Agent P's adventures.
Robot Chicken

***Robot Chicken*** is a long-running American adult stop motion sketch comedy television series, created and executive produced for Adult Swim by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich along with co-head writers Douglas Goldstein and Tom Root.

## Summary

Seth Green and Matthew Senreich created the off-the-wall comedy hit, which is a series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character was an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by a mad scientist who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode. The show often features special episodes built around a single theme, including *Star Wars* and DC Comics.

## Why It Rocks

1. The stop-motion animation is amazing as they use action figures and dolls instead of clay-mated puppets.
2. It satirizes pop-culture referencing to toys, movies, TV shows, celebrities and politicians, much in the same vein as comedy sketch shows like *Saturday Night Live*.
3. Funny and likable characters, including the Nerd, the *Bloopers* Host and Bitch Puddin'.
4. Plenty of hilarious and unforgettable sketches such as:
	* *Delicious Gummy Bears*
	* J.R.R Tolkien, Jr., Jr.
	* *The Black Stallion*
	* *Eagle Eye Smith*
	* Unicorn Fantasy
	* *Lil' Hitler*
	* Donkey Kong Halo
	* *Bob the Union Scab*
	* *Five Stages of Grief*
5. Some of the toilet humor is really funny.
6. Profanity is censored on television, though most home video releases of the show are uncensored.
7. Great voice acting.
8. Creative writing.
9. Bizarre theme song that fits the show well.
10. The success of this show spawned *Titan Maximum* and *Buddy Thunderstruck*, both of which are great.

## Bad Qualities

1. Some sketches are extremely disturbing and unfunny, such as:
	* *Pluto Nash Day*
	* Cole Slaw
	* The Sodomy Cycle
	* Potter, You Fool***Robot Chicken***
	* *Toy Story 4*
	* *The Homestar Runner Sketch*
	* Home Alone Clip***Robot Chicken***
	* Happy Birthday, Calvin
2. Most of the toilet humor is really unfunny.
3. Some sketches are inaccurate to the source material they are parodying, such as the *Team Fortress 2* sketch.
4. The Pepe And Michigan J Frog sketch is just a dumb crossover where none of the frogs won, instead it's just a political mess.

## Why It Rocks

1. The animation appears simple at first, but with some gorgeous and aesthetically pleasing scenes, it changes this mindset.
2. Likeable characters with a wide cast of characters and a voice cast (minus Gary).
3. It has enough originality to stand on its own, so it doesn't rehash space tropes or plots.
4. This show manages to represent a vastly unrepresented genre: the heartfelt comedy.
5. The music is spot on, they hit the scene perfectly almost every time and really added that final touch to make it truly feel like a sci-fi show rather than just another animation.
6. The character development in this show is brilliant, like towards the end, one can't help but really feel part of the squad and understand the relations/struggles the characters have towards another.
7. The second season showcases an improvement in animation.
8. Touching scenes and beautiful moments towards the end of the second season.
9. Cliffhanger at the end of season 2 leaves you asking for more.
10. Gary's relationship with his mother is explored in a very thorough way.

## Bad Qualities

1. Gary, our main protagonist, can be a little bit annoying; He talks too much, has some corny lines, and occasionally spouts desperate-for-attention jokes that only middle-school aged children and younger could laugh at.
2. The plot is a little bit all over the place.
3. The first few episodes can be off-putting for viewers, as Gary's annoying personality is hard to deal with.
Rocket Power

7. It teaches us how to go through various situations.
8. Some episodes talk about important topics, like time Sam suffers an Asthma attack.

## Bad Qualities

1. The characters designs are pretty weird.
2. Otto's big ego occasionally gets annoying.
3. Can be seen as pandering, especially nowadays.
Futurama

***Futurama*** is an American animated science fiction comedy series created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late-20th century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after accidentally being cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990's while working on *The Simpsons*; he later brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox. It first premiered on March 28th, 1999 on Fox. It was canceled in 2003 by Fox. However, in 2007, the series returned to Comedy Central. It officially ended on September 4th, 2013.

## Why It Rocks

1. Great mix of 2D animation and CGI.
2. Tons of memorable episodes including the likes of:
	* The Late Philip J. Fry
	* Jurassic Bark
	* Luck of the Fryrish
	* Game of Tones
	* The Prisoner of Benda
	* Teenage Mutant Leela Hurdles
3. Likable characters such as Fry, Turanga Leela, Bender Bending Rodriguez, Amy Wong and Professor Hubert Farnsworth.
4. Clever humor based on science-fiction parodies and references. This ranges from subtle ones like using the same sound effects of the doors from *Star Trek* to Captain Zapp Brannigan who is a downright parody of Captain James T. Kirk from the same series.
5. The voice acting is good, featuring talented voice actors like Billy West, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Katey Sagal, Lauren Tom, and Tress MacNeille.
6. It has some heartwarming and tear-jerking moments as well, most notably "Jurassic Bark", the episode where Fry finds the fossilized remains of his pet dog.
7. Countless pop-culture references done well.
8. The show's humor is well-done, and mixes well with the more dramatic moments without coming off as forced.
9. Great writing.
10. The show managed to have not one, not two, not three, but **four** series finales, and each one served as a good way to end the series, with the final episode being "Meanwhile", one of the best episodes of the show.
11. Amazing character development, best demonstrated with Fry's maturation over the course of the series; he went from repulsed by Leela's body putting on dozens of pounds (after Amy took control of it) in "The Prisoner of Benda" to giving a heartwarming speech about how he'll never stop loving Leela now matter how much her looks will change in "Leela and the Genestalk".
	* Speaking of "Leela and the Genestalk", Finn and Jake from *Adventure Time* made a cameo appearance in that episode, even though they’re Cartoon Network characters and not from Fox.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The show has had a few bad episodes including:
	* *Neutopia*
	* *The Futurama Holiday Spectacular*
	* *A Leela of Her Own*
	* *Decision 3012*
