PHINEAS AND FERB

                                                                                                                                PHINEAS AND FERB                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Phineas and Ferb is an American animated comedy-musical television series. Originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17, 2007 and again previewed on September 28, 2007, the series officially premiered on February 1, 2008 on Disney Channel, and follows Phineas Flynn and his English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher on summer vacation. Every day, the boys embark on some grand new project, which annoys their controlling sister, Candace, who frequently tries to reveal their shenanigans to the boys' mother, Linda Flynn-Fletcher, and less frequently to their father, Lawrence Fletcher. The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the B-Plot almost always features Perry the Platypus working as a spy  for OWCA, to fight an evil scientist named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. However, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, or Doof as he refers to himself, feels the need to assert his evilness. Sometimes, other villains scoff at his level of evil. The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project just before Candace can show it to their mother. This usually leaves Candace very frustrated.

Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh worked together on the Fox series The Simpsons and Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life. The creators also voice two of the main B-plot characters: Major Monogram and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Phineas and Ferb was conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy—the blueprint for the eponymous Phineas—in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the series concept together and pitched it to networks for 16 years before securing a run on Disney Channel.The series is also known for its musical numbers, which have appeared in almost every episode since the first-season "Flop Starz". Disney's managers particularly enjoyed the episode's song, "Gitchee, Gitchee Goo", and requested that a song appear in each subsequent episode. The show's creators write and record each number, and vary musical tempo depending on each song's dramatic use. The music has earned the series a total of four Emmy nominations in 2008 for the main title theme and for the song "I Ain't Got Rhythm" from the episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together", and then in 2010 for the song "Come Home Perry" from the episode "Oh, There You Are, Perry" as well as one for its score. The series has also been popular with adults.On August 25, 2011, the show was picked up for a fourth season along with a possible spin-off show and a feature film on the Disney Channel. Disney Channel officially announced on November 9, 2011 that the fourth season was picked up with new episodes rolling out starting December 7, 2012. It is now the longest running Disney Channel Original Series, beating Kim Possible '​s 5 years and 3 months, and is also the longest running Disney XD Original Series.

On February 15, 2014, it was announced that production of the show had been completed and no new episodes had been ordered, and that the show would go on an indefinite hiatus. However, new episodes started airing on Disney XD in June 2014, and on Disney Channel in Summer 2014.

TOP CAT

Top Cat

Top Cat is another product of '60s Hanna-Barbera animation. He's the leader of an alley cat gang, who just wants to make a quick buck. But thanks to Officer Dibble, their plans never come to fruition. Top Cat is cool, but his morals are a tad looser than his gang's, leading to occasional mutiny. Nevertheless, T.C. retains his hold as captain.

TWEETY BIRD AND SYLVESTER

Tweety Bird and Sylvester

Another duo Chuck Jones created, Tweety Bird and Sylvester keep each other on their toes, with Sylvester losing out on a yummy bird meal every time. Tweety's baby voice and Sylvester's slobber talk keep us laughing.

WOODY WOODPECKER

Woody Woodpecker

Another anti-hero, Woody Woodpecker lives to cause trouble. His most famous trait is no doubt his cackling, stuttering laugh. Walter Lantz created Woody Woodpecker. Although Mel Blanc, then Ben Hardaway, originally voiced the character, his wife, Grace, voiced Woody Woodpecker from 1948's Banquet Busters through 1972.

DONALD DUCK

Donald Duck

As Mickey Mouse's cynical sidekick, Donald Duck was always my favorite. (Much like Oscar the Grouch was my favorite on Sesame Street. HM, issues?) It wasn't the raspy voice or fashionable duds, but his eye-rolling attitude and exasperation with most of the world that made him so relatable. Donald Duck made his debut in Walt Disney's Silly Symphony cartoon segment, "The Wise Little Hen," in 1934. His most memorable turn may be as Scrooge McDuck in Mickey's Christmas Carol, released in 1983.

SPACE GHOST

Space Ghost

Sure, Space Ghost was a popular character in '60s Hanna-Barbera cartoons, when he battled villains in outer space. But his stint as a late-night talk show host on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast in 1994 on Cartoon Network (which would become Adult Swim) sent him into the stratosphere of stardom. He interviewed human guests (via a TV screen), along with his co-hosts Moltar and Zorak. The characters' deadpan delivery and random laser beams helped make the cartoon a cult sensation.

DARIA

Daria

Daria Morgendorffer was first introduced to MTV audiences on Beavis  and Butt-head. In 1997, she earned her own half-hour animated comedy. She's smart and witty, a teenage girl trying to figure out how to be her own person and still have a boyfriend at the same time, while dealing with stressed-out parents.

BOBBY HILL

Bobby Hill

Bobby Hill is my favorite character on , which aired on FOX from 1997 to 2009. He's the SpongeBob of the group, always optimistic, a dreamer. He starred in my favorite episode, the Emmy-nominated "Bobby Goes Nuts." If I could ask creator Mike Judge one question, it would be, "What will Bobby Hill be when he grows up?" He has so many aspirations, I just can't imagine the answer.

King of the Hill

WONDER WOMEN

Wonder Woman

Before those snappy drawers called Underoos were made, back when underpants looked like, well, underpants, I just took red and blue markers to my own white bottoms (as any 5 year old will) and made my own Wonder Woman costume. Wonder Woman gives little girls their own superhero, one who is strong and gorgeous with lots of cool toys. She stars in Super Friends, Justice League of America Young Justice.

and 

FELIX THE CAT

Felix the Cat

Felix the Cat is a black and white cat created during the silent film era of the early 20th Century. His simple form and face make him easily recognizable, and his magical bag helps him create all sorts of mischief. He was also the first cartoon character to gain enough popularity to award him a feature film in 1928.

BORIS BADENOV AND NATASHA FATALE

 Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale

Boris and Natasha are portrayed the way Americans saw Russians during the Cold War. That doesn't keep these villains from Rocky and His Friends from dispatching some thickly accented humor. Boris was voiced by Paul Fees, who was also Burgermeister Meisterburger in Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Legendary June Foray, who has played Granny on all the Looney Tunes cartoons, was the voice of Natasha.

ALVIN [THE CHIPMUNK]

Alvin (the Chipmunk)

Alvin, lead singer of Alvin and the Chipmunks, is the guts of the operation. Simon is the brains, and Theodore is the heart. The Chipmunks were such successful recording stars, they were given their own cartoon in 1961. These rodents have continued to make cartoons and movies, up through their most recent feature film in 2011, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked.

MIGHTY MOUSE

 Mighty Mouse

"Here I come to save the day!" Before Andy Kaufman lip-synched Mighty Mouse's theme on Saturday Night Live, Mighty Mouse had been through many incarnations. Part mouse, part superhero, Mighty Mouse kept Mouseville safe from a variety of cat villains. Mighty Mouse was originally named Super Mouse, when he made his debut in the Mouse of Tomorrow in 1942.

BOO

Boo

Another Hanna-Barbera staple was the team of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo. The pair first debuted on The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1958, then earned their own cartoon titled The Yogi Bear Show in 1961. Yogi (smarter than the average bear) continually found himself in trouble and Boo Boo usually figured a way out. The duo lived in Jelly stone Park. Yogi's character is most likely based on the Ed Norton character from The Honeymooners, another reason he was so lovable. Yogi and Boo Boo also starred in Yogi and His Friends, Yogi's Gang, just  and in 2010 their own Yogi Bear feature film.

BILL FROM 'SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK'

Bill from 'Schoolhouse Rock'

Schoolhouse Rock was a set of animated shorts that helped educate kids in the '60s and '70s about conjunctions, the magic number three and, especially the legislative process. The latter lesson starred a rolled-up paper named Bill, and showed how he 

went from the House to the Senate and eventually became a law. His "I'm Just a Bill" tune is most memorable. The award-winning educational series was the result of a partnership between Michael Eisner, former chairman of the board at Walt Disney Company, and cartoon legend Chuck Jones. The original series aired from 1973 to 1985.

ARTHUR

Arthur

Arthur is a highly recognizable character from his own children's book series who made the leap to a TV cartoon on PBS in Arthur. And if you're wondering, yes, he's an aardvark. Arthur premiered in 1996, becoming an instant hit. Since then Arthur, the character, has become a mascot for reading programs. The series continues to air on PBS Kids.

WINNIE THE POOH

Winnie the Pooh

When you hear the name "Winnie the Pooh," you may think of the honey-colored bear who wears a red shirt. But more accurately, you should think "cha-ching!" This little bear who started as a doodle in a beloved children's book has been a thriving franchise for Disney since they bought rights to him and his woodland friends in the '60s. Winnie the Pooh has starred in many cartoons and specials, both on TV and in feature films. The most memorable TV cartoons were Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree Winnie the Pooh and Tiger Too 1975. In 2011, Disney released Winnie the Pooh.

GEORGE JETSON

GeorgeJetson

The Flinstones took the all-American family back in time, but The Jetsons took it to the future. George Jetson was like Fred Flinstone and every other sitcom father we've seen. He worked to take care of his family, and only wanted some peace and quiet from time to time. But his kids, wife, dog and boss kept him from it. Famously being trapped on a treadmill in the opening credits, it's easy to remember George.

REN AND STIMPY

Ren and Stimpy

Whenever I talk cartoons with other fans,Ren and Stimpy inevitably enter the conversation. Their outrageous antics, unbridled toilet humor and their "happy dance" make this cat and dog team a long-lasting favorite.

JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS

Josie and the Pussycats

Josie was the Beyoncé of her times, leading a girl pop group and taking on the world. I loved that she wore that groovy cat costume. Josie and the Pussycats was part Scooby-Doo and part The Monkees. The character stills inspire TV today, for instance, in the form of Foxxy Love on Drawn Together.

SPEED RACER

Speed Racer

Most children of the '60s and '70s remember Speed Racer and his Mach 5. Plus, the cartoon introduced us to the world of anime. Thanks to a live-action movie in 2008 and a new cartoon series,Speed Racer is still part of the zeitgeist today.

UNDERDOG

Underdog

We can all relate to Underdog, the guy who is underestimated by his enemies, only to prove them all wrong. He's sweet when he's wooing Polly Purebread. He's cunning and brave when he's defeating Simon Barsinister.

GUMBY

 Gumby

Gumby was a pioneer in stop-motion animation for TV. He and his horse Pokey were heroes in their own fictional world, but for television, they ushered in a new era of animation.

PINK PANTHER

Pink Panther

Like Fat Albert, Pink Panther is a character who inspires a tune in your head as soon as you see him, this one in a jazzy saxophone.The Pink Panther was a series of animated shorts, designed to appear at the opening and closing credits of live-action films starring Inspector Clouseau. His popularity allowed him to become his own cartoon, still airing on Boomerang.

FAT ALBERT

Fat Albert

"Hey, hey, hey! It's Faaaaaaaat Albert!" Who doesn't know that quote, that theme? Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids was created, voiced and hosted by Bill Cosby. The Saturday morning cartoon spoke to kids of color, living in not-so-Bel Air conditions. Forgetting the 2004 live-action movie, the cartoon is a classic that taught lessons in a warm and funny way.

MR.MAGOO

 Mr. Magoo

Blind, adventurous and oblivious are not a safe mix for an old dude, but Mr. Magoo makes it work. Time after again he misses the bullet, so to speak, and we laugh all the way. Mr. Magoo was introduced to audiences in  1949 cartoon The Ragtime Bear, and was originally voiced by Jim Backus. 

SCOOBY-DOO AND SHAGGY

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are inseparable, in their antics and on this list. They're funny on two levels. The first is that, seen through the eyes of a child, they're just silly cowards who somehow always save the day and remain best friends. But watch Scooby-Doo as an adult, and you'll wonder if the van driving, spacey talk and continual snacking are lifestyle symptoms of the same folks who inspired Pineapple Express. 

ANGELICA PICKLES

Angelica Pickles

Why do bullies get all the good lines? Angelica Pickles is the bossy, spoiled toddler from Rugrats. She is the most familiar character from Rugrats, but possibly only because she is the meanest and talks the most. Rugrats crawled onto Nickelodeon in 1991. The lil' crew went on to star in The Rugrats Movie, Rugrats in Paris and Rugrats Go Wild.

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS

The Powerpuff Girls

Girl power times three. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup keep townsville, USA safe from evil, while dealing with the pressures of kindergarten. The visual style of The Powerpuff Girls sets it apart, though, along with the abundance of tongue-in-cheek humor. It's part high art and part drug-induced pop art. The Powerpuff Girls first premiered in 1998 and can still be seen on Boomerang.

GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE

George of the Jungle

If you doubt the popularity of George of the Jungle, just watch thenew cartoon on Cartoon Network, or rent the DVD of the live-action film starring Brendan Fraser. George of the Jungle originated in 1967, a parody of the Tarzan story. He's known for swinging on vines and slamming into trees, as well as his rhythmic theme song, "George, George, George of the Jungle... watch out for that tree!"

SUPERMAN

 Superman

Superman is the ultimate superhero because of his unerring loyalty to doing good. But is he a true superhero since he only has powers because he's an alien, from another planet? Or is he just a guy who fell to ground on the right planet? I'm sure fanboys debate this issue frequently, but as long as any incarnation of Superman includes a broad chest, incorruptible morals and old-fashioned chivalry, I'm there. Like his other DC Comics friends, Superman starred in Super Friends and Justice League of America. His own series have been Superman  and Superman.The Animated Series. But who could forget The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.

BATMAN

 Batman

Can you imagine a time when Batman wasn't the Dark Knight we know now? Hard to believe the many transformations this superhero has seen through the years, especially on television. The caped crusader has had several of his own cartoons: Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008), The Batman (2004), Batman Beyond (1999), Batman: The Animated Series (1992) and Beware the Batman

SPIDER MAN

 Spider-Man

Spider-Man is the every man superhero. He started out as the geek next door and was transformed into a mega-strong, mega-agile dude. Spidey first starred in 1967's Spider-Man, then came Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends ,Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1995) and Spider-Man.

DAFFY DUCK

Daffy Duck

Daffy Duck is to Bugs Bunny as Wile E. Coyote is to the Road Runner. He debuted in 1937's Porky's Duck Hunt. Over the decades he transformed from a clumsy clown to the sarcastic character we know today. Does Daffy envy Bugs? Is jealousy at the heart of his bitter attitude toward Bugs? Regardless, his tantrums and schemes make for great cartoons.

ERIC CART MAN

12. Eric Cart man

Eric Cart-man is usually the villain on South Park . Since 1997, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have had Cart-man abducted by aliens, sent to fat camp, imagining he's dead and owning an amusement park. His unemotional, pragmatic view toward his achieving his goals has resulted in many dire circumstances, as well as catch phrases, like, "Screw you guys. I'm going home."

SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS

11. Sponge Bob Square Pants

Though several channels exist that provide entertainment made for the Y-rating crowd, one cartoon has endured for more than a decade, becoming more famous than its Nickelodeon fellows:Sponge Bob SquarePants. SpongeBob is joined by Patrick Star, Squid wardThe SpongeBob SquarePants Movie was released in 2004, with another movie planned for 2015. Sponge Bob's undying optimism and staccato laugh keep us coming back for more.

Tentacles, Mr. Eugene Krebs, Sandy Cheeks and the other citizens of Bikini Bottom. 

FRED FLINTSTONE

5. Fred Flintstone

Fred Flintstone is the forerunner to Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. The Flintstones premiered in 1960, modeled after The Honeymooners, the first made-for-TV primetime cartoon. Fred was the first portly animated husband who had a hot wife, not enough brains for his schemes and a bad temper. Yet, he loved his family.

HOMER SIMPSON

9. Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson is known throughout the world. Having been on TV for over 20 seasons, this patriarch is not the father who knows best, but he certainly tries. Homer Simpson is based on creator Matt Groening's father, who is also named Homer. And if you look at Homer's profile, a bit of his hair and his ear form the initials "M G."

MICKEY MOUSE

8. Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse represents Disney in all its forms. He started life in black and white in 1928's Steamboat Willie, the first synchronized sound cartoon. Mickey Mouse was first voiced by Walt Disney, himself, then later by Jim MacDonald and Wayne Allwine. Mickey Mouse isn't just a cartoon character; he's an icon.

THE GRINCH

4. The Grinch

Dr. Seuss created many characters who made the leap from books to TV, but none as easily and successfully as The Grinch.How the Grinch Stole Christmas animates Dr. Seuss' book about the grouchy green cave-dweller who attempts to ruin Christmas for the Whos down in Whoville. The holiday special, starring Boris Karloff, first aired in 1966. Now an annual holiday favorite, his turn from selfish to selfless promotes the true meaning of Christmas.

POPEYE

3. Popeye

Like many TV cartoon characters, Popeye began life as a comic strip. Then in 1933, he starred in a Betty Boop cartoon, Popeye the Sailor. His catchphrases include, "Well, blow me down!" and "I eats my spinach!" His bulging forearms, squinty eyes and staccato chuckle are recognized by many generations.

WILE E.COYOTE

2. Wile E. Coyote

Poor Wile E. Coyote. We don't want him to catch the Road Runner, but we sure feel bad for him. Director Chuck Jones created the tenacious coyote along with Michael Maltese. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote were introduced in 194 Fast and Furry-Ous.8'S

ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE

1. Rocky and Bullwinkle

Stan and Ollie. Hope and Crosby. Martin and Lewis. In the animated world, Rocky and Bullwinkle are the comedy team who saves the day. Rocky's unending optimism coupled with Bullwinkle's lucky mishaps save their pelts every time. The duo starred in Rocky and His Friends, which premiered in 1959. Their cartoon included the segments: "Fractured Fairytales," "Aesop and Son," "Peabody's Improbable History" and "Mr. Know It All."
