- CreatorPendleton WardStarsJohn DiMaggioJeremy ShadaTom KennyA 12-year-old boy and his best friend, a wise 28-year-old dog with magical powers, go on a series of surreal adventures in a remote future.It declines on season 7, but it has some really outstanding episodes right there. I can even call them a masterpiece.
- CreatorDan HarmonJustin RoilandStarsChris ParnellSpencer GrammerSarah ChalkeThe fractured domestic lives of a nihilistic mad scientist and his anxious grandson are further complicated by their inter-dimensional misadventures.Half mediocre, half good. Not a big fan, it's continuous story is chaotic.

- CreatorMichael JelenicAaron HorvathStarsGreg CipesScott MenvilleKhary PaytonSuperhero roommates Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy love saving the day, but what happens when they're done fighting crime?Annoying jokes, characters and stories. Not much to say, it's sad that this is popular.
- StarsJeff BergmanBob BergenFred ArmisenAn updated iteration of the classic Looney Tunes characters focusing on their satirical misadventures living in suburbia.Great characterization of the Looney Tunes, and has some really funny episodes. It has it's mediocre moments, but is entertaining overall.

I haven't seen a show as great as this one.
- CreatorMichael Dante DiMartinoBryan KonietzkoStarsJanet VarneyP.J. ByrneDavid FaustinoAvatar Korra fights to keep Republic City safe from the evil forces of both the physical and spiritual worlds.Season 3 is great, but the rest of the show is kinda... awful. The interesting story is full of conveniences, stupid love triangles and a boring tone.
- CreatorAlex HirschStarsJason RitterAlex HirschKristen SchaalTwin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines spend the summer at their great-uncle's tourist trap in the enigmatic Gravity Falls, Oregon.Great characters and story. I don't like the finale, but it doesn't ruin the show.
- StarsPhil LaMarrMakoKevin Michael RichardsonA samurai, sent through time, fights to return home and save the world.Genndy Tartakovsky is great at art direction and storytelling. Buuut... he doesn't know how to write. The show is fine but the series finale is rushed and unsatisfying.
- StarsJoe AlaskeyBob BergenRichard McGonagleAnimated science fiction series based on the alter ego of Looney Tunes star Daffy Duck, the semi-heroic, yet incompetent, space captain Duck Dodgers.The first two seasons are great but the third season is bad. It lacks of good comedy and it resets to the status quo, that got broken at the end of season 2.
- CreatorLauren FaustCraig McCrackenMike MoonStarsKeith FergusonGrey GriffinTom KennyA boy and his beloved imaginary friend are able to stay together at an orphanage of sorts for imaginary friends that children have outgrown to be adopted by new children.I really like Craig McCraken's shows.

- CreatorMaxwell AtomsStarsGreg EaglesRichard Steven HorvitzGrey GriffinThe ill-tempered Grim Reaper gets into a wager that forces him to become the life-long companions of two scheming youngsters after he loses.Half good, half bad. The first episodes were funny, but then it got annoying and boring.

- CreatorThurop Van OrmanStarsBrian Doyle-MurrayThurop Van OrmanJeff BennettThe comical seafaring adventures of a young, enthusiastic boy, his pirate captain mentor, and the talking whale that raised him from birth.Kinda disturbing and gross sometimes, but a funny show overall. Also, it inspired the creation of the superior show Adventure time.
- CreatorJ.G. QuintelStarsJ.G. QuintelWilliam SalyersSam MarinThe surreal misadventures of two best friends - a blue jay and a raccoon - as they seek to liven up their mundane jobs as groundskeepers at the local park.A very funny show.

- CreatorBob KaneJoe ShusterJerry SiegelStarsDiedrich BaderJohn DiMaggioJames Arnold TaylorAn updated animated series centering on the Caped Crusader himself as he partners and deals with his fellow superheroes in the DC Comics universe.A REALLY entertaining show, that experiments with a lot of obscure characters in a great way.
