The original series actually ended at episode 52, but "World Events Productions" (located in St. Louis, Missouri) bought the rights for Voltron and produced 20 more episodes (commonly referred to as "the second season").

The scripts for the episodes were written in the US while the animation was handled overseas.

I double checked a few things and TOEI did the exploration vehicles Voltron Sry about that I was mistaken but the original that included the Galaxy aliance sending pilots to find Voltron's lion components was 100% american including all artwork.

I don't know, that just doesn't seem right.

This is where my info came from...

Family Guy. How could you forget about family guy?

Oh, along with that, my favourites(in no particular order) are:
Invader Zim, Teen Titans, Futurama, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Fairly Odd Parents, South Park, and probably more I can't think of right now. Everyone of those are awesome cartoons.

Oh yeah! I forgot about Family Guy. Most of the Adult Swim stuff is good, but i dont really like The Oblongs.

But, i think Teen Titans is made by another country. I read somewhere that it was made by Korea or something like that. I dunno if its true...

hey wasn't the original Transforms American?

Anything made by Pixar these days gets my approval. I love all of their movies, and they just keep getting better.

Technically... "yes" because the series was originally designed for a US audience even though the toys were originally Japanese (from miscellaneous toy-lines) and the animation (I believe) handled overseas.

Um, the Simpsons is american made, isn't it?

Lycanthrope · 09-26-2004, 03:39 PM

Simpsons. You can't beat it. It is the champion of american cartoons. That said, I like Family Guy a lot. And my favorite action cartoons are Samuri Jack, because it did, truely, create its own style, and Batman Beyond, because it was like all the kick-assness of batman with the fast pace of Spider-Man.

The Simpsons
Freakazoid
The Fairly Odd Parents
Batman: The Animated Series - Although the Animation is Korean and half the episodes are directed by Japanese or Korean people.
Superman: The Animated Series - See Batman.
Darkwing Duck
Duck Tales
Aladdin - Yes, the Series is actually good, to meat least.
Lilo and Stitch - Again, for some reason, the TV series is quite enjoyable, but only if you like Animation and don't mind light themes, as in no massive action or 'adult' themed shows, although it has a lot of things only adults would get out of it.
Sonic the Hedgehog - The old late 80s one with the bad coloring which was made in America (The others were made in Japan, including the newest one that came out in 2002 over there).
Looney Tunes - Yeah, all the classics with Bugs, Elmer and especially Daffy.

There's a good deal of them. It just so happens most of them fall under the comedy category and aside from maybe Batman and Superman, they also have no ongoing plots...in other words, all stories end each episode and can be seen in any order. There are some shows like X-Men and such that buck this trend, but I haven't seen the show so I can't put it on my list.
