There's a whole thread about this on the WBC, go there.

Yeah, picking Space Ghost was cool, well deserved honors.

Even though I am not a huge Disney fan I must say that Mickey Mouse got cheated pretty bad on that list. I mean, it says greatest cartoon characters of all time, not just the past year or two. Say what you will about him but I feel he will be remembered far longer than Angelica Pickles, Pikachu, or The Powerpuff Girls (no offense to anyone who loves these characters, just my opinion).

How did Angelica Pickles even get on the list? She sucks compared to at least 100 other characters I can think of. But I must say, the rest of the list is pretty good. I'm glad to see Space Ghost, Homer, Spongebob and Cartman made it.

My question is..Who the hell is "Bill?"

Are they taling about Bill from Schoolhouse Rock?

I always hate lists like that. Who the heck picks what characters that make it? I think they probably just threw a bunch of names in a hat and picked out 50. And if you wanna get technical, theres a lot more then 50, cause many listed 2 characters per number, even 3 in the PPG case. I agree with Zulu, Mickey got cheated. Most of those characters should have been old school Looney Toons and Disney characters anyway. Lists like this suck. Still, props to Space Ghost, and Popeye, since he's on Adult Swim too.

Mickey Mouse deserves to be low on the list. What does Disney expect, when they neclect their library of classic animation for so long? And the Mickey Mouse Club wasn't animated, so that doesn't help any on this list.

Yes. "Bill" is the bill from Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm just a bill (On Capitol Hill)"

I picked up a copy of TV Guide at K-Mart yesterday.
