Great White Snark lists The Best Geek TV Shows of this Generation.
Um Futurerama and Family guy but no simpsons!?!?
Plus I would have put South Park in there way before family Guy….does anyone even watch Family Guy?
Hell I would have put Squidbillies before family guy.
Plus he missed the who Robotech, Transformers, Star Blazers thing…
What generation is he talking about?
Great White Snark lists The Best Geek TV Shows of this Generation.
This guy does not get The cartoon network…not one adult swim show.
I see these links promising the “(x) landmarks in the science fiction genre” and when I click it’s a bunch of movies and tv shows. Damn media fans… grumble…
This time you warned me with a partial listing so thank you for helping to keep me pure.
Howdy. Obviously you guys didn’t read the whole post, otherwise you’d understand the absence of Robotech, Transformers, anime from Adult Swim, South Park, etc.
Look (or better yet: read) before you leap.

I did read it and it doesn’t explain it….by the way Futurama and Simpsons are not in the same fictional universe and adult swim is not just anime.
Ever hear of Robot chicken?
But yeah robot chicken has had no geek following…in fact it isn’t clips of robot chicken i see plastered all over youtube and myspace pages but in fact clips of “The 4400″ and “Veronica Mars”
Buahahahahahaha
