70. Pokémon

Don't be afraid to admit that you've watched this show at least once. Despite the many negative associations with the kiddie fanbase, the show had clever writing and a golden marketing formula designed to spread Nintendo's Pokémon videogames into new, lucrative territory. The merchandise spread to every corner of the known mediaverse: from movies, to TV, to comics, even Happy Meal toys.

The Pokémon anime, which was only loosely related to the games it was based on, revolved around strange, yet lovable, creatures with limited vocabularies and nearly endless commercialization potential. The premiere character was the now iconic and often hilarious Pikachu, but the episodes often revolved around introducing yet another Pokémon that the main characters just HAD to have. Gotta catch 'em all! Did you hear that boys and girls?! You gotta catch ALL of them! You go buy, NOW!
