The Saturday Morning Memorial Animated Series Poll: nominations

Yes folks it's time for the long-awaited animated series ballot poll. This is the nomination thread.

Nomination Eligibility Requirements

All nominated works must be animated, using any technique, traditional or computer-aided, including but not limited to hand-drawn, cel, stop-motion, rotoscoping, motion capture, and 3-D. For works which combine animation and live action, the work is only eligible if episodes consist mostly of animated material; works where an animated character accompanies a live action cast do not qualify.

Nominated works must be episodic, that is, an episodic program originally produced for television, home video, Flash, streaming video, or something like it. Animated shorts from Disney, Warner Bros., Fleischer, etc were eligible in the previous poll and therefore "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" are not relevant nominations here.

Some properties have generated multiple related series. I'll decide whether to aggregate nominations if it comes up. If you want to argue that Justice League and Justice League Unlimited should be considered together you can do that.

Nominate by posting in this thread! If there's any ambiguity as to what a show title might mean give a link or something. Nominations will close…eventually.

I'd greatly appreciate the participation of a rollout collaborator; if you want to help make images and post things in a timely fashion in a month or two, let me know.

(Not nominations btw, just shitting up the thread with reminders of terrible shows as we near the end.)

The Boondocks
Tom & Jerry
The Yogi Bear Show

Tom & Jerry is the good shit

Bluey: 1976 or 2018

2018 is the cartoon I'm nominating. 1976 was live action - Aussies would more likely identify that one as "Bargearse".

The cartoon will premiere on Disney Junior/Disney+ later this year, but I'm hoping that everyone with access to ABC iView or BBC iPlayer will give it a chance.

OK time's up all nominations above this line

==================================

will be collated

Shakey, I can't figure out what "Goin Bananas" is supposed to refer to.

Pound Puppies: 1986 or 2010?

Curious George: 1980 or 2006?

Here are 361 nominated series, including the 100 or so that Shakey nominated today to annoy me. Start contemplating. Voting thread tomorrowish.

actually I'll paste it in here for posterity b/c I'll probably delete that file from my website someday

I woke up this morning dreaming that there was an '80s animated series called The Opuloids, which was presumably about a team of wealthy crime-fighting cyborgs who power themselves up via fistfuls of OxyContin. Please consider my show as a write-in candidate during this voting season.

(Sponsored by Purdue Pharma. Villains include Fibromy Alger, who induces chronic pain, and Overton Counter, the dastardly fiend who tries to convince people that non-prescription analgesics are often sufficient. I have a theme song and everything. It was very productive, that shower I just didn't took.)

didn't

(I am still adjusting to this iPhone and Zing, my apologies.)

Three month voting period and a note for my job, please.

oh no i forgot about Tom Goes to the Mayor

yeah i need to set aside some time to watch all twenty-six episodes of Foofur before i can make a decision

xpost I wondered if that technically counted as 'animation'.

yeah i'm not sure either i think it's in the realm of stop motion though

sorry about Going Bananas, silby, turns out that was live action

Way to spoil your run of unimpeachable nominations.

don't pretend you have standards, it's embarassing

No, I forgot to nominate Noozles! A show that is firmly in the "theme song has been stuck in my head on and off for 30 years" category

Is there a theme songs side poll?

Since when is 'wholesale embrace of the barrel's bottom and the scrapings thereof' not a standard

can always find a diamond in a shovel load of coal.

gonna be weird to have a poll with the smurfs and the simpsons, gonna be hard to see the kids' shows having much of a shot in this poll.

I've been thinking that The Simpsons is likely to get more of the shaft than it deserves in the final tally. It's the only entry here that I'd recommend splitting up into its good and shitty eras.

i could see it being a victim of everyone assuming everyone else will vote for it.

much like monty python before it, I sometimes have a hard time deciding if the simpsons end up being a cultural net gain or loss
signed, a guy who has the first five seasons on dvd

i also meant to nominate Noozles, and would vote for it given a long enough ballot - another early exposure for me to the idea that a cartoon could have a beginning and an end. ayers rock and koala-walla-land loomed large in my imagination for a short period of time.

Never heard of Noozles!

Ohhhh yeah. That was the other koala cartoon Nickelodeon confusingly aired around the same time as The Adventures of the Little Koala.

Is there a theme songs side poll?

― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Tuesday, August 6, 2019 9:03 AM (thirty-nine minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

yes I will be inviting theme song side ballots

Thermo, would love to have you do images, ilxmail me again with your email address in the body so I can get back to you

Leee if you want to actually post the rollout posts when the time comes I'd appreciate that as well

i will be down to build a youtube playlist if you want

theme song side poll is a great idea. a hoy hoy's TV themes poll only had i think twelve or thirteen animated show themes make the top 100, so there's plenty of undisturbed ground there, and there are tons of shows in the noms list that i would never vote for, which nonetheless had awesome theme tunes.

Deffo!

I can also help with collation (e.g. to catch entries with non-standard formats).

I expect I'll be able to handle all collation and tabulation but thanks for offering!

omg i remember noozles

i know nominations are over but noozles just reminded me of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics which i also loved (and also has an excellent theme song)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QswFm2rvSY8

plz let me add this silby

No one posted Hong Kong Phooey? I didn't nom as I assumed it would have been nominated.

Go post in the voting thread you dorks!

Noozles!!!!!!
