TV Guide's 50 greatest cartoon characters of all time

[jemboy2004]

the toyroom you can remove must of your choices except Wonder Woman! No Way!!

I would have to add JEM to the list, I know it's shocking I would say that! This cartoon ran for a long time even though the toy line it was supposed to promote died early on.

Smurfs! Should be on there too! Smurfette is so deserving of a ranking on this list.

I hear ya------some people think Smurfs are horrible--I know it---okay

but--- I LOVE Smurfs----and if I made a list of my personal favorite cartoon
characters, many Smurfs (and Gargamel) would be in my top 50

I'd put BRAINY, SMURFETTE, GROUCHY, VANITY, GREEDY, JOKEY
and possibly bit player SLOPPY (for his pet fly alone) in my top 50

As far as an "all-time" great list that reflects popular culture on the whole--
-"no Smurfs" on the list is just weird

SMURFETTE belongs on that list and I don't see why she wouldn't be
(possibly PAPA or BRAINY or GARGAMEL too)

I was being sarcastic. Smurfs suck.

[huedell]

No Smurfs?!?!

What!!! no Mighty Heroes? I'm devastated!..

[toys2cool]

yeah the characters are too much like little kids stuff,I would've added characters like Optimus Prime,Cobra Commander,He-man,Lion-el ...I don't know a few toons that ruled the 80's you know?

[jwyblejr]

That list is a couple of years old....is Bill "Just A Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock maybe? I'd have to dig out that issue to double check.
__________________________________________

Yeah that list is from Aug. 3-9, 2002 and yes it is Bill from Schoolhouse Rock.
Big fan of SHR but I don't see how a one-shot cartoon makes the grade of top 50 of all time.
__________________________________________

Well,they've got another one-shot cartoon at #5. The Grinch? Yeah,I like the cartoon but not enough to rank him that high. And Gumby? Sorry,don't think of him as a cartoon character. Scrooge McDuck from Duck Tales would have come in somewheres on my list.

[mitchedwards]

Hank Hill did not make the list, Also Bender from futurama would have been a good top 50

[The Toyroom]

I would remove:

15. Pikachu
26. Arthur
27. Winnie the Pooh (I consider him more of a movie cartoon than a TV one)34. Bill
41. Daria
42. Wonder Woman (from the Superfriends? C'mon!)
43. Donald Duck (again, like Pooh, movie, not TV)
48. Bobby Hill

And I think Courageous Cat should be on there somewhere...

[palitoy]

No Droopy but we have Arthur, yeah, that makes sense.

[JDeRouen]

I hate the ___ and ____ entries. Can't Rocky, Bullwinkle, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, Wyle E. Coyote, Road Runner, et al., stand on their own?

[ABMAC]

No Smurfs?!?!

I hate lists like this.

[Wee67]

This one is just fodder for argument.

I thught Bill might be Mr. Bill, but I think that's a fine way to some up SHR. And, although I do think Bill is the one episode that immediately comes to mind for many, I would agree that no single character stands out enough to make this list.

I actually think Gerald McBoing Boing would make my top 100, but his cultural impact is long since felt.

[Surfsup]

Tom and Jerry at 50? What's wrong with these voters?? Philistines, the lot of them!

[toys2cool]

yeah I find that list way off,no Goofy in there,or Dennis the Menace

[HardyGirl]

OK, I don't know who Gerald McBoingBoing is.

And there are quite a few that shouldn't have made that list. Angelica Pickles? Oh brother!
