I'm pretty sure Transformers counts as a western series!

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

TMNT is the weakest show in the 80's cartoons, IMO. Silverhawks is silly, but Transformers isn't? . It has better animation, epic 80's music and it's not like Transformers has an uber complex plot.

TMNT is probably ranked as high as it is because of nostalgia, I will admit.  As for Transformers vs. Silverhawks, at least people wore space suits in Transformers!  I wonder about your implication that Silverhawks has a superior plot. 

TMNT was aired again in the mid 2000s here and I watched a few episodes... don't do the same. Some jokes were ok and that's it.

The point is that the plot isn't a big reason to watch either show, and Silverhawks did almost everything else better.

I didn't even like enough shows to make a top 10 for any decade. You forgot Dave the Barbarian and Brandy & Mr. Whiskers. Phineas & Ferb probably goes into the 2010s, seeing how the dates seem to be about when the shows were produced, not when they started.

Damn, I forgot about Brandy and Mr. Whiskers. Post-Big Brother Tele 5, how much I hate you.

I won't pretend I'm authoritative enough to craft my own list, let alone lists, for this thread. But I will say two things: it reminds me that I need to watch Teen Titans at some point, and it informs me that Player2's opinion on cartoons can be safely ignored.

I'm not familiar with the western cartoons, but South Park is my ultimate favourite.

Shouldn't we also do this decade so far?

I have no clue about what even my top 3 are.

1. Avatar: The Last Airbender - This show should not exist. In an age where traditional animation was falling before an onslaught of immature Shrek knockoffs, something as finely crafted and deep as Avatar: The Last Airbender should never have existed. What was so good about this series? Well, almost everything about the show was great. But what really sells the show and makes it something I return to regularly is the cast of characters. Aang is a great child hero. Toph is badass. Zuko is how you do a guy with a tragic past without making the audience bored. Iroh is my favorite cool old guy in all media, beating out Gandalf, Dumbledore, etc. Azula is the best villain ever to come from Nickelodeon. Hell, even the "weaker" characters like Katara are strong enough to carry great episodes. And the wide cast of one-off and minor characters each leave a mark that help one identify the universe. Seriously, I think the entire show only had one less than good episode. If over 98% of your episodes are good or better, you're doing it right.

Is there a way to watch this show? I missed out on it and then caught the film adaptation which I was told was not representative of the source material (I'd hope not given how poor it was).

There are several ways to find this show. In o particular order:

First, you can NOT stream it on Netflix. However, you CAN order the DVD's via Netflix. The entire 61 episode length of the show has been released on a total of 16 discs, with discs being sold individually, as part of a Season Box Set, and as part of the full series Collector's Edition. Various digital markets like iTunes have the episodes for sale. Avatar: The Last Airbender also airs regularly on channels such as Nicktoons even to this day.

Of course, those options are fairly inconvenient and/or expensive, which is why people have put all of the episodes online.

 

My recommendation: get a free 30 day trial with Amazon Instant Video and watch all 61 episodes within a few weeks. The entire series lasts less than 24 hours, so you'd just have to devote a chunk of your free time to it regularly for a month, watching about two episodes a day. Then, if you can't finish the show in time, just find the remaining few episodes online. Though I'd reccomend watching the finale (it's a 4-episode epic)  in as high a quality as possible.
