"South Park" is overrated as usual (though I guess it's not too suprising to see it so high on the list).
On a side note, I'm glad that Monty Python made the list (even if it's at #70). About time someone recognised the genius of Terry Gilliam's animations. Lists like this are not meant to be taken seriously and they do a pretty poor job of representing what the "greatest" cartoons really are. |

Remember, this is the UK, so there may be a bit of a skew towards one side or the other.
I must have been the only kid in America who watched Danger Mouse (24) when it was on Nickelodeon at ungodly hours of the morning. (God bless Thames) As a side note, these people broadcasted the original Whose Line is it Anyway? |

Correct, then I believe there was a US version with Drew? didn't really enjoy it as much. I stayed up and watched it all, can't believe they showed so much of the Overfiend, why it was included I have no idea 
I forgot some Ghibli films were in it, I'm glad they did pretty well. Liked the comments made about Fox dropping Futurama, and Family Guy being dropped twice only to be brought back due to high DVD sales, honestly Fox really dont have a clue at all. |

I started watching from No. 40 and up to no. 1. Well, at least there's some anime. Simsons is the first, as expected. But HOW COULD Sponge Bob Square Pants be on the top 30-40 (some where in there I forgot)? I never knew anyone who IS watching it. But Spirited Away was higher then I thought.

Alright! A list where I can bemoan how overrated both The Simpsons and Spirited Away have become with equal scorn and contempt!
Okay, I'm being a bit facetious (though I do think both are overrated), but I'd still easily put both the entire run of King of the Hill and season six of South Park above any season of The Simpsons, and, if any Miyazaki movie should be in the top 10, it's Kiki's Delivery Service. |

Well, some people are watching it, because Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Oddparents are the most popular cartoons on Saturday morning in America, and it's one of those shows that have a niche adult fanbase too. |

That's where personal tastes come in. I'd agree with you on Kiki's Delivery Service, but I'd not place most any season of South Park over the Simpsons (admittingly, South Park has it's really funny points, but the series over all is just too much potty humor for me to handle), and I'd bat King of the Hill out of the list altogether (it just absolutely does not appeal to me). Sure the Simpsons has taken somewhat of a plunge in recent seasons (though not incredibly low, it's still decently funny at times), but it has made enough of an impact to deserve it a place somewhere on the list (though probably not at 1). |

Isn't Legend of the Overfiend a hentai?

No, you were not the only one; my entire family stayed up to watch Danger Mouse. It's still a favorite of mine and the brother's. |
