User blog comment:Webkinz Mania/Top 20 Animated Shows Since the Turn of the Century (10-6)/@comment-3530543-20120415154646

I'm with Gideon here; I don't think you should include The Simpsons in this list, because the years that made it a classic were the '90s. (Heck, it started in 1989, so it should probably not even be eligible.) I haven't watched the new Looney Tunes, but, to be honest, I usually hate it when classic cartoons are rebooted. The Amazing World of Gumball is fine, though I find it a bit overrated (maybe it's just because the Brazilian voice cast is awful, though). One thing I love about it that you didn't mention, however, is the amazing art & production design. Like I said in my posts, I always found Courage to be very bland, despite the creepiness. And, sue me, I think Total Drama is overaprreciated. After re-watching some of season 1, I realized the show became a little self-important; it was supposed to be just a satire (what else could the "stereotypes" mean?) but it became some kind of teen drama. Most characters were somewhat one-dimensional (I actually think Heather was very stereotyped, and don't even get me started on Owen the Fart Machine), and it ultimately failed to be what it was supposed to be from the beginning, a reality show mockery.
