Top 100 Shows To See (100-91)

I’ve seen a lot of TV, and  I’m going to start a list of the top 100 best shows out of the many shows I’ve seen. I’m sure there are plenty of other great shows out there, like Rocky & Bullwinkle, but I haven’t gotten around to viewing them yet.  Some shows may be ongoing and those will be explained individually.

100. Stargate Infinity
It’s one of the many terrible children’s action shows and bears very little resemblance to the Stargate franchise. It is noncanon  and there is very little good to say about it, in fact some might call it blasphemous towards the franchise. It is still Stargate though and I believe all hardcore Stargate fans need to go through this hell.
99. The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest
Remember the classic scifi cartoon Johnny Quest? This is the 1990’s sequel.  It is nowhere near as good as the other two incarnations of the show, but a true fan would go ahead and watch it. There are some very interesting scifi episodes, especially in the second season. This show is considered canon to the series and therefore is integral watching to fans.

98. Invader Zim
This show is original and often lightly morbid. It portrays humanity as ignorant and disgusting. Zim is the villinous an incompetent protagonist trying to successfully invade and eventually exterminate humanity. A lone amateur conspiracy theorist stands in his way and constantly stands reprimanded and ridiculed by incompetent proffesionals and a society of idiots. The portrayal of humanity is reason enough to watch the show.
97. Quark
Imagine StarTrek, except from the perspective of a garbage disposal ship instead of an exploration ship. It is mildly entertaining and many scifi fans will laugh at the stereotypical scifi humor. On the other hand, it isn’t really memorable except for the right to say that you’ve seen Quark.
96. X
As far as apocalyptic visions of the future go, this one is jammed pack full of mythic symbolism for the end times from dozens of cultures. It is filled to the brim with symbolism to the point where trying to map out all of the symbolism can be difficult. Some of the symbolism is obvious, but not all of it. It is filled with action, but at the same time it seems to be lacking something. With all the emphasis in the abstract, a connection is lost to the viewer at times.

95. Xenosaga: The Animation
Let’s face it. This show is for the fans of the video game series of the same name. Unfortunately, it also happened to alienate a large number of hardcore fans and manages to keep many of them from liking the show. That being said, it isn’t bad at all. Sure, it has some flaws, but if you know the games, and if you have an open mind, then it’s great.
94. Naruto SD: Rock Lee & Friends
It’s weird. No one disagrees with that. It is over exagerated, but it manages to fully delve into the mental processes of the characters and it is comical. It is suggested that Naruto is watched first, but this show can hold it’s own if you give it a chance.

93. Devil May Cry
This anime is canon to the Devil May Cry franchise, so all hardcore fans must watch it. Even if you haven’t played the games or if you don’t know anything about Devil May Cry, it is still an enjoyable watch and is full of some pretty awesome action scenes. Dante rocks, as always, in this show.

92. Pokemon
There are a ton of fans for this franchise and many people forget that Pokemon was originally a video
game. The coolest thing about this show is that whatever you learn from the show can be applied to the game; the show was a place to learn how to extend your potential strategies. The anime did suffer from some flaws that left it both incredibly redundant, repetitious, and endearing. I haven’t kept up with the series recently and maybe they’ve made some changes, but this is one show that has maintained staying power for many good reasons. Team Rockets blasting off again!
91. Code Monkeys
A sitcom featuring videogame-like animations. The theme song is reason enough to watch this show. If you are into programming video games like I am, this show is hilarious with many jokes most people might not catch. Still, it has plenty of slapstick humor backing up the nerdy stuff.
