movies/tv Is there any cartoon that can beat MLP

[Archer Dash 163]

That are currently on?  None that I can say.  MLP is the only TV show I watch that isn't on the Food Network.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

I am used to watching shows that are nothing like MLP: FiM. Things such as House, The Mentalist, Bones, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, Doctor Who, etc. Though, I have seen few anime shows.

although I don't like to admit it, I think Adventure Time is far more popular in comparison. 

I wonder how long it will be before MLP starts to invade other popular shows on TV and a Simpsons couch gag too (they've already made one for Minecraft for goodness sake).

Pokémon the series. I still watch it and I used to think it was better. Now it's second best. But i'm trying to get back into it. Oh and Community. it's far funnier than MLP. And um, regular show, steven universe and um... maybe lost? I'm still not sure about lost. It's ok, but.... it's just weird...

Is this a trick question especially after MLP left there's shows like Tiny Toon Adventures, Spongebob, Good Luck Charlie, LPS(Littlest Petshop),  Kirby Right Back at Ya, Teen Titans Go!, Bubble Guppies is also still kind of good though I'm 15 all I need is a funny cartoon that's well animated with a good plot line, which anyhow MLP recently is around my 3 or 4th after Tiny Toons, Spongebob, oh yeah and Looneytunes Show Daffy Duck really makes it entertaining.

[The Coffee Pony 1,390]

As much as I like MLP there were plenty of shows in the past that were better. Allow me to list the following:

 

-Transformers Prime

-Beast Wars

-Spider-Man The Animated Series

-The Spectacular Spider-Man

-Batman The Animated Series

-Batman Beyond

-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles '03

-Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes

-X-Men

-Gargoyles

-Teen Titans

-Star Wars The Clone Wars

-Avatar the Last Airbender

-Loony Toons

 

Like I said, love MLP and all but compared to these it doesn't even come close.

Well I don't like the term "beat" no two cartoons are alike. Would you really compare The Simpsons to Thundercats?

[Panne 1,342]

Gravity Falls is a very very good cartoon (amazing animation and plots).

Unfortunately, it only has 20 episodes and apparently they don't plan on doing more than 3 seasons... While MLP:FiM has way more characters, episodes and stories than GF. They are not really comparable.

Well you must always remember, a longer run does not mean a better show. In fact shows usually degrade after a while. I mean I've never had a single problem with the entire MLP series for 4 seasons, but something about Twilight's castle and the Rainbow Powers just rubs me the wrong way.

Do animes count on this list? Because if so MLP will never compare to Clannad and Clannad After Story.

Nothing will ever touch the greatness of that anime!

Not really in my opinion, but one that comes really close is Attack on Titan. Ive recently started watching it and it is freakin good

spoiler: EVERYBODY DIES!!! Well with that show it seems like it... I mean you've obviously seen episode one...

[Hovershy 3,814]

My Little Pony is my favorite show of all time. It's even better than all those shows from my childhood that I have so much nostalgia for. Not saying I don't like other shows, just saying nothing comes close to MLP.

[tfred82 17]

The question is, when you compare MLP to shows you watched as a "kid" are you comparing how MLP is to the shows of the past or how you REMEMBER the shows of the past... for example when I was a kid I loved Voltron but now I can't stand the show.  When I was 5 or 6 I would have said Voltron was the better show but now at 31 MLP beats Voltron hands down...

I hope that pretty much sums it up. ^^

So mlp is so good you had to use a different show to express your emotions?

[Adente 1,000]

Sure, plenty are better!

 

The Boondocks, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, (Those last three are before they ran for too long and stopped being good), Recess, Kim Possible, Hey Arnold, etc. MLP is a good show, but it can't stand next to the greats.

Well, there is Animaniacs. It may not be as pretty to look at. But the writing is hilarious, the jokes hit bulleyes every time(With exceptions with Katy Kaboom of course), and it had a great team behind it. The only other one I can think of is Freakazoid but thats just me.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Nothing tops MLP. 'Nuff said.

[Moonlight Magician 494]

-The early Spongebob seasons (1-3 + the movie)

-Adventure Time

-Regular Show

-Gravity Falls

-Avatar: The Last Airbender

-The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

-Courage the Cowardly Dog

-Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

-Pokémon (the early season)

 

All a matter of opinion of course!

 

Oh, and how could I forget?

-Steven Universe

 

Amazing show!

[hawkflame 3,310]

I think there are better written shows, especially if you include anime, but nothing tickles my fancy right now in quite the same way as ponies.

[Zygen 6,066]

I really don't watch much of any cartoons besides MLP anymore. So idk.

 

I also like Spongebob a good bit, the new episodes aren't really nearly as good as the old, but still.

 

I also use to like Danny Phantom a lot, that use to be my show when I was younger, I just stopped watching randomly, and now its off the air, so yeah...

 

Really whether a cartoon is better than another has a lot to do with opinion and how you feel at the moment. While I do like MLP, i honestly haven't watched it in a while. That doesn't mean I think its bad or anything, I just am not in the mood to watch it much right at this point in time.

[Lightning Bolt 65]

Funny that this came up because lately I've been watching alot of old cartoon shows I used to watch on Netflix. I can only think of two at the moment, Star Wars The Clone Wars and the Justice League(The original and Unlimited). MLP is a great show in its own way though.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

I tried to watch Adventure Time but wasn't quite in the mood for it. I've seen a couple episodes that seem like it'd be pretty cool but there's just one thing I can't stand: The artstyle. I will never, EVER like the artstyle. Spaghetti arms/legs, deliberately showing each and every tooth being hyper-separated...bleh.

LOL- Same here. I think it just looks very lazy and unappealing. I just get too annoyed to even try to see what it's about.

Indeed. Intentional or not it just feels like these people don't actually know how to draw anything. That's very unappealing to me.

[Cuddleshy 49]

That's hard to say but Avatar: The last Airbender (cartoon series) was really epic.

[Guest]

Currently MLP is the only cartoon I watch, I used to love Digimon Adventure 01; early Spongebob, and the Spider-man 1994 series.  MLP is the first series since Digimon I have truly gotten into.

[Starshine 16,333]

This

 

Gundam Wing Endless Waltz is something that I would say can top MLP as a cartoon. MLP is good, but it's hardly the best or the most legendary
