Best Animated Shows on Television Right now...
When people ask where I get my inspiration from it mostly is from television, movies, and literature. These are some of the most enjoyable shows that i've been watching lately.

1. Family Guy- Seen on Cartoon Network, also on Fox for new episodes. It's quick witted and always hilarious. People may not like however that it pokes fun at everything and really pushes the envelope.


2. Life and Times of Juniper Lee- New to Cartoon Network An 11 year old asian girl who saves the world on a constant basis. One might be screaming 'Kim Possible ripoff' but Juniper Lee is focused around humor and often tlks about things that are relavent to now. And with a talking scottish dog as a pet, who couldn't love this show?




3. Aqua Teen Hunger Force- A show about nothing. Shake, Meatwad, and Frylock three random food products, it's been running for three years now but I only just now decided to watch. And you know what? It's funny stuff! Give it a try, it's on Adult Swim, some people get turned off by the fact that they're a shake, a ball of meat, and a floating fry box.


4. Camp Lazlo
Feels like a spin off of Spongebob somehow, but make no mistake Camp Lazlo has a flare all it's own. Although Lazlo's imagination sometimes can become of annoyance, his friend Raj, a pink elephant with an indian accent is brilliant. Each character has been given his own flaws and desires and then pumped with sillyness. I can always watch this with Mikey and Katie. It's on Cartoon Network.


5. Spongebob Squarepants- A huge cult icon, Spongebob and especially Patrick and his Bertlike neighbor Squidward always give me a laugh. This show has always been creative but the repetiveness on some jokes and gags make it hard to watch sometimes.


6. Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends- Although repeatable sometimes in terms of storyline and constant screaming, Bleu is one of the funniest characters on tv. The style is also very loose and the ideas are always creative. It's on Cartoon Network



7. Sam and Max
Okay, so it came out in the 90s and I had to get it on ebay in vhs format. Nonetheless, Sam and Max was one creative show, it's one flaw? The comic strip it's based off originally was intended for teens/adults and for the kids show alot of the unnecessary violence and swearing was lost but the dialogue was still as sophisticated as ever. If it was only made now and produced on something like Adult Swim, it would fit right in and be gobbled up. Oh well.




8. Full Metal Alchamist- a show about two brothers trying to locate the Philosophers stone to bring back their now dead mother, one brother lost his arm, the other his entire body and is now stuck in an enormous robotic suit. I'm not a big fan of japanese cartoons persay, but this rather well drawn, especially the brother in the metallic suit, and i see it as a brother show, one that you watch with your brother and smile. It's on adult swim and is a little violent at times, there's a cannibal sometimes....


9. Avatar- probably Nickelodeon's freshest new show other than catscratch (yeah not a fan of rugrats anymore, they killed it long ago) It also appears that they've done their homework on this one as there's a whole history to the series and the style is japanese but it's with an american flare.



10. Catscratch
Three cats, with an awful lot of money, and one is scottish. Good times.
