The Stingray Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 #7: South Park (1997 - ) - 39 points (more top-3 finishes than Friends) South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town. Parker and Stone developed the show from two animated shorts they created in 1992 and 1995. The latter became one of the first Internet viral videos, which ultimately led to its production as a series. 5 Emmy Awards (for Outstanding Animated Program) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 #6: Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005 - 2008) - 42 points Avatar: The Last Airbender (Avatar: The Legend of Aang in some parts of Europe) is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who served as executive producers along with Aaron Ehasz. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asian-influenced world wherein some are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts known as "bending". The show combined the styles of anime and American cartoons, and relied on the imagery of various East-Asian, Inuit, Indian and South-American societies. Due to this style, the series regularly enters the conversation regarding its consideration as an anime work. The series follows the adventures of protagonist twelve-year-old Aang and his friends, who must bring peace and unity to the world by ending the Fire Lord's war against the other three nations. 1 Emmy Award 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
