User blog:Owenguy101/Oweguy's Top 30 Animated Series (30 - 21)

Inspired from Jkl9817 and Webkinz Mania's animation blogs, I decided to do my own. However, unlike theirs which contains cartoons from the 2000's, my will be from all decades of animation. So sit back and enjoy my top 20 animated series blog post. I will start with numbers 20 - 16. (I will add pictures later)

20: Mad
Okay I put this right at the bottom because I have a love hate relationship with this show. Some episodes are good, some are bad. The good stuff. It has lots of pop culture references, mostly to movies from right now or last decade. The bad, some stuff doesn't make sense, some stuff is gross, and the voices are stale. Still, it manages to have funny moments but not as strong as its competitors Adventure Time and Regular Show. Basically this show is Robot Chicken for kids and pre teens but it still has some stuff that some teens will watch. I suggest giving it a try but if you don't like it, watch Robot Chicken instead.

19: House of Mouse
This was one of my childhood favorites. It was basically was about Mickey and the gang hosting a dinner theater club along with featuring shorts from another show, Mickey's Mouse Works along with a few classic ones. The show was originally on ABC but since moved to Disney Channel and Toon Disney (now Disney XD) and unfortunetly, it's no longer on TV but I'm sure you can still find it online. This show in my opinion was the last TV show to feature Mickey that was for all audiences before it became preschool intended with Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse. Still, funny show, and Mickey's Mouse Works shorts are on the web as well I think so check that out too.

18: My Gym Partner's a Monkey
I loved this show when it was originally on. At the time, Camp Lazlo was airing as well so this show was a good companion to that because the animation was similar, the humor was similar, and they both featured monkeys. The show involved a boy named Adam Lyon who is transferred to a middle school for zoo animals due to someone mistakingly thought his last name was Lion and not Lyon. His closest friend is a spidermonkey named Jake voiced by Tom Kenny so if you find his voice similar to SpongeBob's that's why. The other characters are funny too with one of my favorites being the school principal, Principal Pixiefrog who's very small and at times you see him using a scooter to get around. The humor is funny too being very similar to SpongeBob and it also uses some of the same production music. This show is worth a look but sadly Cartoon Network isn't showing it right now so try and find it online if you can.

17: The Fairly Odd Parents
While I find this show funny, I put it low on the list because there are other cartoons that I like more. What happens? Well there's a 10 year old boy named Timmy Turner who has these fairy god parents that grant him his wishes and it soon leads to chaos that he has to fix. Like SpongeBob, this show has been popular enough that it is currently still airing but I don't see too many new episodes of it unlike the other shows on Nick. The humor is fast and each episode manages to insert a lot of insane moments in just a minute. It also manages to insert a lot of running gags as well. Probably my favorite episodes out of the entire series are the crossovers with Jimmy Neutron. Those were a lot of fun. Another favorite of mine is the TV movie Channel Chasers because it has a whole lot of pop culture references. I haven't seen every episode because mostly the only thing I watch on Nick is SpongeBob and this but when I happen to see it on TV I'll try to watch it.

16: Pokemon
I'm pretty sure everyone remembers the anime of Pokemon when it was still the old seasons. The first series was a whole lot of fun featuring Ash Ketchum and his friends Pikachu, Misty, and Brock traveling through Kanto to earn gym badges and get to the Pokemon League. In the second series, it was the same thing but Brock was replaced by Tracey which was the only big changed. However, Brock returned at the end of the second series and it remained the same until the sixth series. For the third, fourth, and fifth series, which were titled The Johto Journeys, Johto League Champions, and Master Quest, they explored the Johto region and met all of the Pokemon you've probably seen in Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. However, by this point, Pokemon was only on Kid's WB and I didn't have that channel on my cable so I never saw it. After the fifth series, Misty and Brock left and Misty was replaced by May in the sixth series. Her younger brother Max joins them a couple episodes later and Brock soon returned after that. Again, like the Johto episodes, I never saw the Advance episodes until Cartoon Network started airing them which was the seventh series titled Advance Challenge. The episodes I saw the most of were the Advance battle season which was series 8. The ninth series, Battle Frontier was a huge change for the series. Originally it was 4kids that distributed the series here in the USA and their actors did the voices, but with this one, all the voices were replaced and 4Kids no longer does the dubbing for the series. I liked the Battle Frontier season because it had a lot of interesting episodes, but I never got to see the last few even though I have them all on DVD. For the tenth series to the fourteenth it was based off the Diamond and Pearl games and May and Max were replaced by Dawn. However, by that point I was no longer watching Pokemon on a regular bases even though I still saw a few episodes from time to time. I would talk a little about the current Black and White series but I'm currently not watching that. Still, the original series was the best because it kept us entertained as kids and it'll still entertain us when we pick up the DVD boxsets of the original series (if you own it) and kick back and rewatch the old episodes and remember the good times of Pokemon.

Numbers 15 - 11 will be coming soon.
