![]() | Avatar The Last Airbender - The Complete Book 1 Collection
Buy new: $40.99 / Used from: $35.99 Easily the best adventure show on television for kids. The mix of action, comedy, and drama is top notch and appeals to adults as well as the younger set. The fight choreography especially is amazing for an American cartoon. A must own for everyone.

![]() | Avatar The Last Airbender - The Complete Book 2 Collection
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $29.93 The second season of the show actually improves on the stellar first season. Characters like Zuko and Toph especially are some of the best on television whether live action or animated. This is one of the rare action shows aimed at kids with real heart and a story to tell. Pick it up whether you're looking for something to watch with the family or youre just a lover of adventure stories.

![]() | Batman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $18.98 The first volume of one of the most classic animated shows to ever air. Batman proved that a show for kids did not have to be poorly written and exclude adults from it's appeal. With both smart writing and beautiful (if now a bit dated) animation what's not to love?
|
![]() | Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $18.19 The second volume continues the tradition of the first of delivering stories with more mature themes and complicated characters than most American produced cartoon shows.
|
![]() | Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Three (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $17.96 The last of the original animated series of Batman can be found in this collection. New characters are introduced such as Ra's Al Ghul and Batgirl while Robin gets a heavier share of screen time. Unlike it's live action movie counter parts though this show knows how to treat Robin and Batgirl like mature and quality characters.
|
![]() | Batman - The Animated Series, Volume Four (From the New Batman Adventures) (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $19.90 This last set collects all the episodes of The New Batman Adventures. All of the major heroes and villains were redesigned for this new show and the focus shifted somewhat to a team of Gotham defenders made up of Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, and a new Robin. Most importantly though the creative team stayed mostly the same, making the stark new designs easier to get used to.
|
![]() | Batman Beyond - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $14.62 A new Batman takes up the mantle in a cleverly imagined future that sees the old Bruce Wayne as his mentor. This is probably my personal favorite of the DC animated shows.
|
![]() | Batman Beyond - Season Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $16.79 With this show Bruce Timm and his creative team really got the chance to expand the Batman lore outside of the DC comics continuity and in doing so gave us a great story rarely seen in comics. That of an aging paranoid hero who must pass his gifts and wisdom to the next generation.
|
![]() | Batman Beyond - Season Three (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $18.99 Here at the last DVD set of Batman Beyond we get a first look at the Justice League (albeit one in the future).
|
![]() | Justice League - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $23.49 Justice League starts off in a somewhat rocky first season with many ups and downs along the way. Still there's more good here than bad and seeing characters like Wonder Woman animated for the first time since Super Friends is fantastic. Also replacing Aquaman with Hawkgirl may seem like a strange choice but ultimately it's an inspired one.
|
![]() | Justice League - Season Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $21.70 The show really hits it's stride here with the return of classic villains like Brainiac and a deeper focus on the characters.
|
![]() | Justice League Unlimited - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $19.37 Justice League changes it's focus here with a new seemingly limitless supply of heroes from the A-listers seen in the first two seasons of Justice League to D-listers like Booster Gold. Some episodes miss there mark but the season long story arc taking inspiration from different moments throughout the DC animated universe make this some of the best stuff to come to cartoons.
|
![]() | Justice League Unlimited - Season Two (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $9.10 The final season of Justice League and probably the final season of the DCAU is at times a mixed bag but the humor and drama are still some of the best to hit American animation and this season is a great send off to a great era of super hero stories and cartoons.
|
![]() | Superman - The Animated Series, Volume One (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $10.30 Here Superman gets the same great treatment from Bruce Timm and Paul Dini that they gave to Batman's animated show. This set collects some of the best Superman stories every committed to film.
|
![]() | Superman - The Animated Series, Volume Two (The New Superman Adventures) (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $13.36 Another great set of a great show.
|
![]() | Superman - The Animated Series, Volume Three (DC Comics Classic Collection)
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $14.06 The last volume of this show. There's some great stuff in here with the villain Doomsday and the two-part series finale Legacy. There are also plenty of cameos from other DC heroes which in many ways set-up Justice League down the line.
|
![]() | The Tick Vs. Season One
Buy new: $25.99 / Used from: $14.55 A funny clever show that was most importantly bizarre at every turn.
|
![]() | The Tick Vs. Season Two
Buy new: $25.99 / Used from: $19.02 A great cartoon comedy never afraid to send up classic super hero stories.
|
![]() | Teen Titans - The Complete First Season (DC Comics Kids Collection)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $5.50 A strange and fun action adventure show for people who love this stuff. It actually has much more depth than it would seem at first glance or from watching only one episode.
|
![]() | Teen Titans - The Complete Second Season (DC Comics Kids Collection)
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $9.57 A great second season with the fantastic Terra story arc.
|
![]() | Teen Titans - The Complete Third Season (DC Comics Kids Collection)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $11.97 Some great individual episodes even though the season long Brother Blood arc is rather weak.
|
![]() | Teen Titans - The Complete Fourth Season (DC Comics Kids Collection)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $11.97 Probably the best season since it delves into the shows most popular (and for good reason) character Raven. The season long arc is probably the shows best.
|
![]() | The Venture Bros. - Season One
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $16.99 The first season of this adult comedy that knows no boundaries. It may be offensive to some so I suggest renting it first to see if it's your taste. Without a doubt though it is absolutely hilarious. Also important to mention unlike all of the other shows on this list this is absolutely NOT FOR CHILDREN.
|
![]() | The Venture Bros. - Season Two
Buy new: $23.99 / Used from: $21.32 Even funnier than the first season. No Johnny Quest era adventure show is safe from this comedy about failure. NOT FOR CHILDREN.
