Garfield Sweeps (28)She -Ra The premise of the show is that She-Ra, whose secret identity is Princess Adora, and her friends must free Etheria from Hordak and his evil Horde, after realizing her true destiny through the help of her older twin brother Prince Adam, who is also known as He-Man. The She-Ra cartoon's premise is similar to the He-Man premise, with the distinction that while He-Man serves King Randor and the rulers of Eternia (a neighboring planet), She-Ra is a revolutionary engaged in a rebellion against Hordak, the ruler of Etheria, and to a larger extent against the rarely seen Horde Prime, leader of an evil intergalactic empire. Another similarity and distinction is that while both series mixed science fiction and sorcery, He-Man's stories tended to lean towards science fiction while She-Ra's were geared more towards sorcery.She-Ra, like He-Man, wields a magic sword: the Sword of Protection. Adora transforms into She-Ra by holding it aloft and saying, "For the honor of Grayskull... I am She-Ra!" The Sword of Protection varies from He-Man's Sword of Power in that it has a crystal set into the blade. The crystal is the source of her transformation power, and if cracked, Adora is unable to change to She-Ra, which was revealed in the episode, "The Stone In The Sword". The Sword of Protection is also unique in that it can change into other forms at She-Ra's command, changing to a shield, lasso, or flaming blade. (69)Allegra's Window Premiered: September 1, 1995 Last Aired: May 1, 1996The show concerns the daily life of a precocious, imaginative, preschool puppet named Allegra. It follows her through the daily triumphs, trials, and tribulations of being young. She and her big brother Rondo, along with her best friend Lindy (a puppy) and a pesky blue neighborhood cat named Riff, all try to learn about the world around them with the help of their neighbourhood friends. At the end of each episode, Allegra sits at her window and reflects on all the lessons she has learned.

K She Ra Wins (29)He -man Premiered: September 5, 1983 Last Aired: December 4, 1984The show takes place on the fictitious planet of Eternia, a land of magic, myth and fantasy. The show's lead character is Prince Adam, the young son of Eternia's rulers (King Randor and Queen Marlena). Prince Adam is a seemingly cowardly, blond muscleman dressed in a Cote d'Azur chemise. However, Prince Adam possesses a magic sword, and when he holds it aloft and says the magic words "By the Power of Grayskull! I have the Power!" he is transformed into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. He-Man is a brave, blond muscleman in a baldric and loincloth. Together with his close allies, Battle Cat, Teela, Man-At-Arms and Orko, He-Man uses his powers to defend Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor, a tyrannical warlord with a skull for a face. Skeletor's main goal is to conquer the mysterious fortress of Castle Grayskull, from which He-Man draws his powers. Were he to succeed, Skeletor would be able to conquer not only Eternia, but the whole universe.Despite the limited animation techniques that were used to produce the series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was notable for breaking the boundaries of censorship that had severely restricted the narrative scope of children's TV programming in the 1970s. For the first time in years, a cartoon series could feature a muscular superhero who was actually allowed to hit people, though he still couldn't use his sword often. The cartoon was controversial in that it was produced in connection with marketing a line of toys; advertising to children was itself controversial during this period. In Britain, advertising regulations forbade commercials for He-Man toys to accompany the program itself. In similar fashion to other shows at the time (notably G.I. Joe), an attempt to mitigate the negative publicity generated by this controversy was made by including a "life lesson" or "moral of the story" at the end of each episode. This moral was usually directly tied to the action or central theme of that episode. (68)Jim Henson Mother Goose Stories 1990 This delightful series, directed by Brian Henson, takes a light-hearted look at familiar nursery rhymes. Each eight-minute episode features a Muppet Mother Goose, who shares these nursery rhymes with her three impatient, fluffy goslings. The shows combine the live-action talents of young children with Jim Henson's extraordinary puppets.

He-Man Wins (30)Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago Premiered: September 30, 1991 Last Aired: December 1, 1995Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, based on the popular computer game, was first seen in September of 1991 and became one of the most popular kids' game shows of all time. The series aired on PBS, probably the best place to reach it's target audience.Like the computer game, the game show's basic purpose was to ultimatly capture the head of an international crime syndicate. In this case, the head was Carmen Sandiego and in each episode she would send one of her henchmen out to steal a national landmark. The contestants job was to use their knowlegde of geography to track each criminal from country to country and city to city with the goal of capturing the henchman, restoring the landmark to it's home, and whom ever got enough points would have the chance to capture Carmen.The game show was hosted by Greg Lee and the contestants were given orders from The Chief, played by Lynne Thigpen, who ran the ACME Detective Agency. Rockapella was the singing group that sang the popular theme song and helped give the contestants clues. (67)Histeria! Premiered: September 19, 1998 Last Aired: October 1, 2000Histeria was the short-lived animated show on Kids WB. The show was a cartoon look at one of the most boring subjects of all: History.This show takes that boring subject and molds it into entertainment while still teaching the viewers something. This show was hilarious with its off-the-wall and slapstick comedy takes on the Civil War, the American Revolution, and many many more. Never before has President Washington been in such a compromising position as when the Histeria gang comes along!Histeria! had 52 episodes and 2 seasons. Though this show lived a short but enjoyable run, it was canceled do to low ratings. The low ratings were more or less caused by hype in the new show Pokémon which was a much cheaper show to produce and had a much bigger following.

I'll pick Carmen, but it's a tough choice.
Who's that kid on the horse? I recognize every else in the pic, but not him.
