Now really there should have called this 100 greatest animation,

as a film is not a cartoons

how do there get away with lonny tunes, along with bugs, daffy etc, there the both the same?

No.. a live action film is not a cartoon. They're called "feature-length cartoon", meaning a very long cartoon.

the 100 greasiest cartoons maybe?

ok lets cut the crap and the spelling and grammar corrections, did anybody actually watch it for four whole hours and know which was number one?

If I'm right in thinking this is a repeat, then it's still the same number one as the last time it was shown - The Simpsons.

Hmmm, The Simpsons.

It's good, but it's certainly not *that* good IMHO.

I'm still miffed that it won the 100 Greatest Kids TV Shows too, I've never met anyone online (or off) who agrees with that decision!

Also - Jimmy Carr. Why?
Again, he's very good... but not in that particular role.

It's surprising yet they still haven't done the "100 Greatest TV Shows" - they've just skipped around it with moments, characters and genres - but never actually the shows themselves!

No, it was "100 Greatest TV Moments", topped by the moon in 1999.

That poll is not related to the C4 series.

100 Greatest TV Moments - now that was good. Hosted by Graham Norton if I remember.
