His shows have some great animation and fun voice acting to be sure, but most other shows on people's lists also have those things. His shows are enjoyable, but they all follow the same format and structure and can get a little repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but they're not shows I could watch over and over again and enjoy just as much the first time as the last time. They aren't that nuanced, the characters don't really progress, and there isn't a lot there. The shows are charming as nostalgia and definitely had an impact on animated television, but I just don't think they're as good as a whole as most of the other shows people have listed.

And again, including one on the list of 10 might make sense to me; including 3 doesn't make sense at all since Birdman, Space Ghost, and Herculoids are basically all the same show. Not to mention Johnny Quest (which you also included on your list) was far more ground-breaking than those three and usually had better plots as well.

Again, just my two cents. You're entitled to think what you want. I'm just offering a reason why he isn't represented on people's lists.

Because if you're limiting it to 10 animated shows, I don't think his are up to snuff. While the shows were certainly ground-breaking and are enjoyable, they all follow the same basic format and structure and can get a little repetitive. The animation is great and the voice-acting is fun, but the plots just get pretty boring after a while, and again, the shows are all basically the same. I can see maybe including one of his shows in a Top 10 List, but definitely not three. Again, this is my own personal opinion.

I always thought Tale Spin was a step down from Duck Tales, which was a step down from Darkwing Duck.

How can you all not include The Flintstones?

I thought he meant step down in quality.

And? How can it be a step down in quality when it existed prior to the thing it's being comparing it to?

I wanted to like this, and tried it multiple times, but don't get the appeal at all. Seems like something for 9-16 year olds only, no offense intended.

Really?? I get your point, but have never heard of anyone imposing time restrictions on the use of that phrase.

Something from 1950 can be called a step down from something from 2011, imo.
