Star Blazers
Star Blazers was one of the first shows to translate a Japanese anime cartoon into English for American audiences. It was also one of the first American cartoons to employ ongoing plotlines rather than the typical recurring weekly plots which was very exciting at that time.

What was the best animated version of “The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine?” Your mileage on the Fantasticar may vary.
DetailsRegular Show
The Regular Show is a wacky, extremely creative animated series that ran for 8 seasons about a couple of guys that work at a city park. It’s a simple premise, yet the show is anything but simple or “regular”.
DetailsTeen Titans Go!
When another Teen Titans show was announced, Teen Titans Go! may not be what people expected, but given the chance of an open mind, they could see it as the comedy gold that it is. It’s not the typical take on superheroes, sure. Rather, it’s a fresh, creative version that wonderfully turns all the expected superhero clichés on their ear and gives viewers something entirely new.
DetailsVoltron: Defender of the Universe
Voltron, the sci-fi cartoon about five lion robots that combine together to form one giant robot that defends the universe against evil, was a huge hit in the 80s. Filled with action and comedy all in a sci-fi setting in space, the show had a lot to like. However, it had a very abnormal path to its success in the United States.
DetailsDanny Phantom
The show delivered reliability, following the same format that had already been established within its genre. With its episodic progression, its highly characterized villains, and its secret identity dramatics, Danny Phantom was essentially a comic that found its home in television first.

Many of the movies that DC once announced are forthcoming are seeing a change. Green Lantern Corps, for example, is about to become a TV series ahead of making it back onto the Big Screen!
DetailsTransformers
When Transformers first aired in 1984, anyone who was watching surely had their interests piqued once that theme song said, “more than meets the eye…robots in disguise”. When the show proved to be as fun as the song, though, viewers became hooked.
DetailsOver the Garden Wall
The show excels beyond any kind words that could be said about it, and exceeds any expectations that could possibly be set. It isn’t just as good as everyone says it is; it is awesomely and obscenely better.
DetailsGI Joe
GI Joe was one of the biggest action hits of the 80s cartoons and a colossal success in the toy industry. Counting its beginnings as 30-second cartoon commercials, it was truly the first of the big 80s hit action cartoons. It’s gone on to have multiple remake series as well as two live-action movies.
DetailsBatman Beyond
Set in a Utopian, futuristic version of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne becomes unable to fulfill his role as Batman. And so, Terry McGinnis, a troubled but good-natured high school student, ends up becoming Batman, while also dealing with the personal toll becoming of the cowl. Is this series a new and unique version of the Dark Knight or a weird version of him that should just be forgotten.
DetailsCrisis on Infinite Earths Parts 4-5
Crisis on Infinite Earths, the 2019-20 Arrowverse crossover, was a fun filled event marked by numerous fan service moments and a brand new status quo but was not without its failings.
