It can be for now or your all-time favorite. Domestic, anime, whatever.

Mine's King of the Hill.
 
King Of The Hill is kind of like the Simpsons if it still had heart. It reminds me alot of the early episodes before it became the self-aware, random celebrity appearence crap it is now. It's really sad that show got cancelled for that Cleveland show nonesense.

Anyway, the animals of farthing wood. Fairly dark drama/adventure that had a continued and pre-set story arc. Animals and main characters would die. For a show with 6 -11 year olds in minds, thats pretty hardcore! Especially for a western cartoon at the time. It differed from the book in tone, which was more child freindly and was all the better for it. It seemed more inspired by watership down. Which is great, children tv shows are far too jolly.

I'd have to say for now it's Avengers: EMH; though there are numerous ones that just come close enough to be ranked #2, Avengers has everything that makes a series epic, and more than enough vision and untapped potential that it could go on for the next 5+ years. All the things that made Justice League the phenom it was, Avengers has and then some
 
That's a tough one. I suppose the Simpsons for Western Animation.

Back in its prime. Yes, it's only a shadow of its former self, and it should have ended in the late nineties, but in its day, it was an incredible show.
 
X-Men from the 90's, really loved that back in the day, and the theme music!! I would go with the Simpsons but feel thats been tarnished by the more recent episodes.
 
I'd have to say South Park. Shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy have declined in the past couple of years, South Park has been consistently good after 15 seasons.
 
current - The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

all-time - Batman TAS, early Simpsons, and Boondocks
 
Batman: The Animated Series
Scooby-Doo
Justice League
Beavis and Butt-Head
South Park
Cowboy Bebop
 
Family Guy, South Park and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes are the current ones I try not to miss when they first air.

I watch Thundercats and Clone Wars when I have time from my dvr.

All the depth and quality of "Batman the Animated Series" while developing its own rich tapestry that made for character development never before seen in an American animated series. All while including figures straight out of Shakespeare and world mythology.

It was terrific, and we still haven't had anything like it since.
 
Of all-time...3-way tie between The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and South Park in there prime.
 
Futurama is my favorite show of all time, there is no series that I've watched more times than this one :)
 
Mine is tied between King of the Hill, Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman: The Animated Series.

This was a great show too. Thats the thing I liked about "Batman: TAS", "The Animals Of Farthering Wood" and "Gargoyles", most shows did (and too a degree) still do think that childrens cartoons should be fluffy happy one dimensional stuff. Hopefully the quility bars gets raised in the future much like adult live tv's are today, alot of them are now argubly better than the stuff being put in cinema's.
 
Animals of Farthing Wood? That brings back memories.

Anyway favourite of all time is probably Animaniacs or Freakazoid.
 
South Park
The Simpsons
Gargoyles
Thundercats (Original)
X-Men: The Animated Series
Batman: The Animated Series

are some of my favs.
 
It's clear I'm the oldie in the group.

Long ago: Jonny Quest and Looney Tunes.

Currently: Boondocks.
 
I'm surprised someone else watched it. For some reason, it has never been released on DVD and pretty sure it hasn't been broadcast outside the UK.
The theme tune was also kick ass, wondering if it was done by the same guy who done tintin.

I'm from the UK, I know all about Animals of Farthing Wood. Used to love it. Are there any episodes anywhere on the net? Would like to see how it holds up today.
 
A tie for me between Naoki Urusawa's excellently twisted and thoughtful "Monster" and the fantastic worldbuilding, researched and characterised "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
 
Serialized: Batman the animated series

Shorts: Loony Tunes
