that show was ok. good graphics, but the story i was a bit iffy about.
The Story is WHY its the greatest Cartoon ever made. Halfway through Season 2(andrAIa episode) and up through seasons 3 and 4 is one of the greatest ongoing tales ever put to film.

Exactly, Mainframe (The show creators, not the city) had two huge hits with ReBoot and Beast Wars (Curse you Beast Machines!!!)



Anyone remember War Planets (or Shadow Raiders)? It was a lesser known Mainframe show, I tought it kicked *** but it got cancelled to quickly.....


My favorite shows though, are The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, ReBoot, Beast Wars, and Batman: The Animated Series.

24 hands down. Well, besides all the anime out there, this one gets my vote because of many reasons obviously, but mainly due to it's premise.

The major plot is always very excellent, though I must admit it has it's share of wild plotlines.

I can't believe no one has said Smallville! That show is great! I love Superman and Batman, and this show is a tribute. The third season starts in a few months (too long if you ask me).
Next to that, I'd have to say Family Guy, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and That 70's Show (in that order).

Going back on the whole ReBoot thing. It doesnt make sense...
If those **** games are going to destroy the computer why do the poeple play them?? And that kid who must own the computer must be one rich little ******* to have like 10 billion games, cant he play them more then once? ( I know it would make the show boring but can't they get a little more realistic )

Any way my favorite show ( when including anime ) is Hellsing but there are other favorites I can't think about right now... and Big O is okay too.

But when not including anime theres The Insomniac, Whose Line Is It Anyway? , South Park ... well I don't know yet so if I think of anything else I'll edit my post.

You're thinking to hard. But if you want to get technical.

1)Computer time is WICKED excelerated. For them one minuet lasts for a Nano second (the entirity of Season 3 and 4 could have lasted a Day in real time,) Game damaged sections can and are repaired, so the damage isn't noticed by the "Users" Mainframe is the RAM of the computer, when games decend its using a chunk of that ROM, when it leaves either the Sector is preseved by a game win, or the sector is nullified if the user wins. It's not supposed to mimic reality.

Definately Big Brother. There is no doubt about how this show is the greatest show in existance.

Other than that, probably Spongebob Squarepants and Survivor.

Oh and I like the Practice.

I know, just sometimes that show bugged me, evened though I did like it alot. And I also didn't like how they portrayed the internet. It was so weird ...

My favorite show hands-down is the Drew Carey Show. The guy's hilarious and it's funny how Mimi and Drew always insult eachother :D. Lewis and Oswald are great also. Here is a list of shows that I also really enjoy (now specific order):

South Park
The Simpsons
Seinfeld
Everybody Loves Raymond
King of The Hill
Invader Zim
Yu-Yu Hakusho
Inuyasha
Family Guy
Futurama
Banzai
Malcolm in the Middle
Spongebob
Rocko's Modern Life
The Man Show
Al-TV (The T.V. Show you were born to watch)

That's all I can think of now. THat's a pretty long list for me, since most of those shows were cancelled somehow, or I barely get the chance to watch them.

Oh BTW, death to American Idol and Survivor :mad:! I hate those shows. Probably my second least favorite shows next to all they shows on Nick Junior.

There is not really a "favorite" show for me. I just have some listings that can be considered my favorites.

1)National Geographic
2)Simpsons
3)Who's line is it Anyway?
4)X-Files
5)70's Show.


Of course there are other shows that I presumable enjoy just as much, but they didn't seem to pop in my head.

Aboard the Red Dwarf
Red Dwarf is easily the greatest show in existance, an epic story of four men traveling in a vast universe with nothing to do but play poker and get involved in insane and complex adventures. It has a perfect combination of ingenius plots and hilarious comedy. Soooooo good.

My runner up is Cowboy Bebop. Not only is it beautiful, action-packed and dramatic, with awesome characters, but it's soundtrack is the best EVER.

EDIT: How odd... I had completely forgotten that I had already posted in this topic...

What's with this room and current shows? Everybody knows that the penultimate television show is M.A.S.H. What other show depicts Army misfits betting on how far off the enemy bomber will miss the ammo dump? Sad thing is that some of that stuff actually happened (where else will you get that kind of comedy?)

Dude. Teddy Ruxpin scares the ever-loving **** outta me. I expected the doll to come to life during the night and kill me.

Well, I love Family Guy and Futurama and the Simpsons. It's hard to say one without the other two. All three are unbelivably witty and such. And the first two didn't get the time they deserved.

Ed Edd n Eddy. This is my childhood, plain and simple. I AM Eddy and my best friends are Ed and Edd. So stupid it's funny, in my opinion, and captures the escence of childhood like no show has, other than the Wonder Years. Gotta love it.

South Park. Not just the humor, but the barriers it's broken down. You couldn't say **** on TV (or on the PC. Look, it got bleeped!), couldn't make fun of Jewish people or Jesus, couldn't talk about anal ****, etc., etc. The show is witty, satires modern society and has advanced TV as we know it. Priceless.

Reno 911. Halfway between Super Troopers and a Christopher Guest movie lies Reno 911. This show is hilarious and has a good size cult following for a show just starting up. These guys are kings of improv, or at least make it look like that. I mean, have you guys watched the brief scenes where they roll the credits? That has to be improvised. And if it's not, they make it look really natural.

X-Files

I like a lot of other shows, but these are the best. However, X-Files doesn't appear on TV here anymore, which sucks.

South Park all the way, it's rad.

I saw some of that super mario bro cartoon when I was little. Didn't seem all that well to me, to tell you the truth. After all, I only caught a glimpse of it. As a kid my favorite was powerrangers, if anyone has heard of em.

I would probably have to say "the O.C." right now. If you haven't watched it, catch an episode.

For anime I might even say shaman king. But you have to understand that I don't have cable or satelite. *sigh*
