oh so Daria is to blame for modern life! thx Mordy

xxp guess it did! good for bob and co.

i've lost track of this show, but the seasons i did watch were delightful.

great screencap btw lol, the show's first A+ ep

The screencap Thermo used is just perfect. xp!

bob's burgers is such a great show. i stopped watching for a bit but recently went to catch up and how many seasons in it is still excellent. helps that it has one of the best casts of any animated show. just a delight every ep - heartfelt + more importantly hilarious.

Given ILX's demographics, I would've presumed Masters of the Universe to appear too, but no way is that gonna happen anymore. Though I have no idea what the other 3 series in the top 5 are gonna be besides the Simpsons and Adventure Time? Transformers doesn't seem very likely either.

So we've got Futurama, Simpsons, 7 Up Adverts, Peppa Pig Youtube Gore Channel and Pigeon Street to go?

I've wanted to like Bob's Burgers because a certain local hero is involved in it but man the episodes I tried to watch I just didn't get it

feel like if there were more millenials here Rick & Morty would be top 5

(and Spongebob would be number one)

Oh yeah, Futurama! And BoJack Horseman, obviously. So that leaves just one mystery entry in the top 5.

Bojack and Archer?

i don't get bob's burgers either. it's likable and like the art style and the voice talent but I've never found it remotely funny and that's a roadblock for me

Oh I see Archer was 23. I am also another person who never saw an episode of Spongebob.

simpsons, futurama, adventure time, rick + morty, and bojack

Between Mabel Pines and Louise Belcher, are there any otherh Kristen Schaal voice roles I need to love?

hate to be a killjoy but bob's burgers is significantly worse than home movies

and i've liked many episodes of it

would be pleasantly surprised if rick & morty placed, even if it's too high.

I tried to watch the first episode of Rick and Morty, but the gags were simply too gross and grotesque for me... Is it all like that?

tbc, it's already too high.

xp the first episode is a major outlier, it gets better almost immediately

Deeply regretting not voting in this poll. I might have put Bob’s Burgers first. It’s definitely up there with peak period Simpsons and doesn’t have the long tail of declining quality.

not sure if it gets less gross, tho.

xp

ricky and morty is extraordinarily clever imo + hilarious but yes very gross.

I'm looking forward to the theme tune results and hope they get a decent rollout.

Me too.

Do people really think Rick & Morty is making it? I sincerely hope not.

I also expected NGE to be higher, but eh, it's a decent placement.

ricky and morty is extraordinarily clever

Oh no, Mordy, don't turn into one of Those Guys.

i'm sorry the fanbase stinks but the show is v good! part of the reason the show is great is bc it critiques the very thing that the most obnoxious fans enjoy about it.

realistically I'm going to sum them up at some arbitrary time in the next 7 days and dump them with youtube links in pretty short order, not sure how many total ballots or consensus I'm likely to find in there!

I have not watched Rick & Morty. The only Rick & Morty fans I approve of are Kayla and Gabe in Eighth Grade (2018)

lj i'm shocked you don't like this show tbh. it's really very clever. have u seen much of it and how much of your dislike is really cultural distaste or hating the memes or whatever

lol I guess there are more millenials here than I thought!

What I've seen of Bob's Burgers was cute and likable but also seemed kinda a lot like Home Movies polished up for a broader audience.

A couple things about Bob's Burgers that are great, even if I haven't watched in a long time:

Gene is genderqueer
Bob is heteroflexible

well i'm a millennial (b.1984) but so are lj + silby i think

I put Bob's Burgers one spot above Home Movies evidently, which is pretty much just random.

I'm a millennial but I voted for Daria nevertheless. I didn't vote for any of the top 5!

I've seen a reasonable amount of Rick & Morty and I don't think any of it was "clever" particularly? It's not completely unfunny throughout but its attitude is gross and it's very easy to see why its fans became so awful.

Yay Daria! How could anyone dislike a show about such deeply scornful adolescents? I could watch it again and again. I also love it for putting chartreuse on the map.

saw about the first 5 or 6 episodes? just came off as a bit cheap with its humour and i wasn't really laughing. the characters weren't compelling for me either. i'm sure there's some decent meta stuff later on but i didn't stick around to find out. i try to avoid the memes and there's no real cultural distaste - i did want to like it! ultimately i think it was too...nihilistic? idk

Has anything had any firsts yet; or are they all saved for the simpsons and Futurama?

plenty

A few firsts, mine placed ages ago.

a lot of #1s will be for the other two yet to place as well though
