I think some of my favs for the old days have to be GI Joe, Gummie Bears, and TMNT.

I think I need a deeper algorithm.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I have to agree with all of these shows that GK stated as some of the best currently running.

Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.

I don't think anyone mentioned this one, so I have to say that W.I.T.C.H. is a really, really great series. Disney didn't handle their publicity of it very well, so I don't think it became as popular as it deserved to be. But it's so well written and has great character development and voice talent... and it's just so much fun to watch. 8) I'd have to say that it's my favorite magical girl series, ever.

I'm still partial to the old Jay Ward cartoons. Rocky & Bullwinkle , Dudley DoRight , Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Fractured Fairytails.

I'm not sure if I like it. I'm not sure if I like the new look of the of the characters. I like chatting with people online.

Best ever ?...
Ambassador of the american way of life ?...

Well... Eye of the hawk, force of the bear, hear of the wolf, speed of the Puma... Marshall "Bravestarr" :D

Beyond to be a total amazing well made american show, it vehicle all the american stereotypes of the western ages transposed to modern era.
A strong added value is the bottom line in each episode, typical way of show in Filmation studio TV series with a true morality like "You've to be friend" "You shall not steal" and things like that.

A sequel or postface for this Texan iron marqued style would be the "Galaxy Rangers".
