(→Live Action Television: -> "Live-Action TV". Also, cleaned up as much of the "The Greatest American Hero" entry as I could and hung tags on what I couldn't.) |

* [[UPA]] [United Productions of America] barely lasted more than a decade as a theatrical cartoon studio, during which time their [[Limited Animation|stylized approach to the medium]] profoundly changed the way cartoons looked for the next few decades ([[The Dark Age of Animation|for better or worse]]). Even today, their influence, direct or indirect, is felt in shows as diverse as ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', ''[[Samurai Jack]]'', ''[[Home Movies]]'', ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony:
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' at four seasons ([[Fanon Discontinuity|the last two of which are barely talked about nowadays]]) did not last so long as the two other shows in the original [[Nicktoons]] line up, ''[[Rugrats]]'' and ''[[Doug]]'', which continued in some form or another for the better part of a decade. And yet, ''R&S'' is among the most influential cartoon shows of the last twenty years, spawning dozens of imitators and being the [[Trope Maker]] for the [[Gross-Out Show]] genre.
* ''[[Mighty Mouse the New Adventures]]'' managed just 19 episodes before it was shut down in a controversy fueled by [[Moral Guardians]]. However, the series was highly influential on later animated series, and those series' snarky, zany, pop-culture obsessed tone. Additionally, it was one of the first examples of "creator-run animation" on American television - animation that had the [[Creator Thumbprint]] of a specific artist (in this case [[Ralph Bakshi]]) or team of animators.
