Okay, I'm helping! Satsui asked me to fill in tonight, so...

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - The Scooby-Doo gang as kids in the "Scooby-Doo Detective Agency" solving mysteries and all that jazz. It was cartoonier than the original and featured animation by Mr. Glen Kennedy.

Dragon Ball - The adventures of Goku collecting magic Dragon Balls, riding a cloud, and fighting a lot, or something. Includes Dragon Ball Z and GT, as well.

The Critic - The life of Jay Sherman, a movie critic in New York city. Pardodied movies and the like and was created by two Simpsons writers.

Johnny Bravo - Umm... I'm not really sure how to describe it... it was basically just a bunch of jokes about the daily life of Johnny Bravo, an ultra-narcissistic Elvis wannabe as he tries to pick up chicks and be cool around his Mama, Carl, and Li'l Suzy.

Johnny Bravo is the definition of postmodern 90s Cartoon.
The Critic was like a pueudo-intellectual mans Simpsons
Dragon Ball was silly
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo?

Hey, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was awesome! It got my vote, absolutely, though Johnny Bravo was a pretty close second. I liked how A Pup made fun of the old Scooby-Doo often enough, and then just look at it! Glen fucking Kennedy, man.

Dragon Ball is my choice, another guilty pleasure vote from me I suppose.

Never saw The Critic or A Pup named Scooby-Doo, Dragonball was nice enough, but Z was crap. No idea what GT is.

Johnny Bravo made me laugh a lot and I just think it's awesome, so it obviously got my vote.

Out of all four (and I'm assuming you just mean Dragon Ball and not all the series together) I can probably sit down and enjoy The Critic most frequently.

Gt was the series first television outing to deviate from the original mangas.

Eh, not my bracket. But I'll do with DB because that's the one I enjoyed most out of all of them.

Dragon Ball, since it was a pretty big part of my childhood.

Say what you like, but that horrible translation / edit mess they aired had it's charm. We had characters lip-synced to japanese text, with french actors dubbing, a polish lector on top of that and sometimes we got spanish subtitles. Ain't that awesome?

Johnny Bravo is so full of win. He has some serious determination.

If Dragon Ball includes Dragonball Z (and it does), then that's my vote by far. People love to rip on it, but it is a great cartoon series and one of the only real action oriented cartoons in a genre typically dominated by comedy.

I wish I could vote all of these away.

I chose Bravo because it was the least offensive of a stinky bunch.

Dragon Ball was cool, but DBZ just pisses me off.

For the record, they're grouped in as the same because, at least according to Wikipedia, Z and GT are continuations of the same series. They're just the next few seasons.

Anyways, I went with Pup named Scooby. Such an underrated gem of a show.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 11:35 am

Johnny B, all the way.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 01:07 pm

I'm voting for DB, but hope Johnny Bravo clinches second.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 01:14 pm

The critic was awesome for only having 21 episodes.

JB was hilarious in it's own right.

Dragon ball was great, cause it took itself lightly. DBZ was awesome because of the epic fights. DBGT was just ridiculous.

Scooby doo jr never appealed to me. Way better than anything with scrappy doo, though.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 02:11 pm

I ended up choosing DBZ, although I just rewatched the show recently. I'm hoping for JB to take second, though it doesn't look likely. I never really cared for Critic, it always came off as a poor man's Simpsons with a different occupation to me.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 03:05 pm

There was only one way to go for me. The Critic was an easy choice.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 03:10 pm

Dragonball all the way, and for the record DBZ was fucking awesome, slow as fuck, but awesome.

The Critic had more of an impact than any of the others

A Pup Named Scooby Doo was much better than the original

I never watched the original Dragonball

Johnny Bravo never appealed to me

Are you an idiot, Doddsino?

I read the poll options, not the fucking post. Every other time, it's usually a synopsis of the shows in the poll so why should I fucking read it? I don't give a fuck!

Even so, Dragonball Z doesn't even come close.

Posted: Nov 27 2009 07:08 pm

This is why you're an idiot.

Please go outside and bang your head into the sidewalk until you die, or I will personally come over there and either rape your ass with my rusty shovel or smash your fucking brains in with a baseball bat, true Goodfellas style.

Your choice.

Go for it guy

But way to mistake "Goodfellas" for "Casino", maybe you should be the one to go outside and stike your head against the sidewalk.
