    Insane list. Look at the IMDB Top 250 filtered by “after 2000” and you’ll notice the obvious omissions:

    • Avatar: The Last Airbender at number 6
    • Attack on Titan at number 16
    • Firefly at number 39
    • Taskmaster at number 43

    These are just a couple examples in different categories. Anime fans immediately noticed that no anime made the list at all, despite 10 being in the IMDB top 100. Western animation fans might have seen that Bojack Horseman made the list, but Avatar didn’t (or if the editor filtered for “adult animation”, Rick and Morty (#22) didn’t). There’s really no excuse for these, there is no consistent rule that would exclude any of these shows. NYT readers must live in the dark timeline where fun is outlawed and Taskmaster was cancelled after one series.

    List compiled by an utter moron. Entirely missing (among others) and vastly superior to most on the list:

    • The Expanse
    • After Life
    • Sex Education
    • Firefly
    • IT Crowd

    Also, despite being controversial, probably worth mentioning:

    • South Park
    • The Walking Dead
    • Z-Nation (imo much better than TWD)

      Yeah the fact that The Office UK is on here and not The IT Crowd just shows they included it due to proximity to The Office US and don’t watch British TV.

        ridiculous rule for shows that have run longer than everything else on the list, and still popular.

        Yeah that thought occurred to me - but since the list is as dumb as it is to begin with, I didn’t bother looking for rules of eligibility.

        I just started a rewatch tonight after having mentioned it here :) I loved the show and I think it’s time to give it another go. I am surprised how much of the permanent cast is introduced in episode one.

        The torture porn for Season 7 first episode. The show went from splatter / hack & slash to a breach of the psychological contract between film makers and the audience. Instead of cutting away for the ultra violence, they stayed fully on it, turning this franchise from a zombie splatter movie into sadistic torture porn, with the sadism directed at the unsuspecting viewers.

        I was able to skip past one of those sections because it was telegraphed in the previous season’s ending, but the next one was intentionally designed to catch the audience unaware and was ultra explicit. I did not want to see this and I never consented to this kind of sadistic fucked up shit to be broadcast onto my screen.

        Fuck the makers of that franchise, fuck AMC and fuck everyone involved in that decision for all eternity.

        Edit: Be grateful that you didn’t have to watch that.

          I felt like it was an overcorrection of the season 6 finale where they left it on that shitty cliffhanger of who died. So they were like “well you want answers, we’ll give ya answers!!!”

          But yeah it was bad.

            Luckily it seems they were punished for it in terms of ratings. I honestly felt abused after being exposed to that scene, without a warning to close my eyes or skip ahead.

        You can stop there, The first season is gold. After that TWD doesn’t have a clue what to do with his premises and becomes stagnant

        It just quickly got old and repetitive,completely uninspired rehashing of the same problems and storylines. Season 1 is gold, 2 is decent, don’t bother past that

    This is a pretty good list, that I largely agree with. IF it were unordered. Ordered the way it is, it is an abomination.

      I think The Expanse was only streaming. On the other hand i don’t know if Breaking Bad was actually on TV.

      No Expanse, but Battlestar Galactica is 37? I liked it, but it was nowhere close to The Expanse.

      Unironically. I’m sure Parks&Rec was a fun show, but did it fill convention centers around the world with hundreds of thousands fans? Did it kickstart the careers of animators, illustrators and musicians?

      There’s a couple more “children’s cartoons” that I’d put in the top 100 over some high-popularity-but-low-cultural-impact shows from this list. I think if you look at the current animation industry, all of them will name the same shows that inspired them as children and still influence their work to this day: Avatar: the Last Airbender (2005), Gravity Falls (2012), Adventure Time (2010), etc.

        IMO it’s rather that ‘Adventure Time’ and other cartoons were inspired by Don Hertzfeldt. Afaik Pendleton Ward was in CalArts right when Hertzfeldt’s shorts came out. ‘Adventure Time’ ran at pretty much the same time as ‘Regular Show’, and they had similar style and mood — not surprisingly, since Ward befriended J. G. Quintel (and Alex Hirsch) at CalArts. These three worked on ‘The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack’ together before launching their separate series.
