How many of the shows on this list can boast an Emmy nomination, let alone five nominations? The Powerpuff Girls is an Emmy winning animated program about three little kindergarten girls with superpowers who were created by Professor Utonium using sugar, spice and everything nice. Like all great children's shows,Powerpuff Girls was geared towards a younger audience, but it excelled at its animation, humor and storytelling style so well that despite the target audience, adults were able to get in on the fun as well.

While the Powerpuff Girls themselves were the main characters, it was the supporting characters which made this show classic. Parodying properties like Batman, Spider-Man, Power Rangers and many more, the rogues gallery for the girls was always worth a laugh as they poked fun at the superhero genre. Our personal favorite baddy is the brilliant and maniacal monkey Mojo Jojo, whose creation is enough reason alone for this fun series to show up on this list.
