|| Original || Clone || Capsule Pitch Description || Implementation || Winner? ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' (1984) || ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' (1984) || {{Sentai}} show with TransformingMecha. || ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' seems to be the obvious pale knockoff... so it comes as a surprise to many that the ''[[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots GoBots]]'' toys [[OlderThanTheyThink actually predated]] ''Transformers'' by two years. Nonetheless, the ''cartoon'' Autobots beat the Go Bots to TV by a month. || ''{{Transformers}}'' became a CashCowFranchise that's still going strong some twenty-five years later. ''[=GoBots=]'' faded into obscurity and became [[AnyoneRememberPogs a punchline]] on purpose, mainly because Hasbro ended up later buying [=GoBots=]'s company and locked down the copyrights completely in order to keep "Transformers" in the public eye. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' (1986) || ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' (1986) || Cartoon adaptation of a live action TV series/Film about a team of detectives/geeks confronting ghosts and such. || Both series premiered at the same year featuring Creator/{{Filmation}} and Creator/ColumbiaPictures' long dispute for the copyrights of the name. || ''The Real Ghostbusters'', by the virtue that only animation geeks would know and care what ''Filmation's Ghostbusters'' is. ||
|| ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs'' (1987) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}'' (1987) and ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' (1986) || SpaceWestern AnimatedSeries with {{Mechanical Horse}}s. || ''Saber Rider'' was the first of these shows; its original Japanese version, ''Anime/SeiJuushiBismarck'', aired in 1984. In America, ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' came first in 1986, with the other two shows following in 1987. ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' was DarkerAndEdgier than its competitors and seems to have the biggest fan following today, although none of the series did very well in America. || ''Bravestarr'' is the best known of the three outside of the animation fandom, but ''Rangers'' is the most popular within that fandom. ||
|| ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' (1987) || ''WesternAnimation/StreetSharks'' (1994) || A group of mutated antropomorphic animal brothers fight against a power-hungry madman and his two incompetent lackeys. || There were many, '''MANY''' TMNT [[FollowTheLeader imitators]] but ''StreetSharks'' is the most prominent. || ''Ninja Turtles'', no doubt. ''Street Sharks'' was actually decently popular during its time but it never got any continuation and is pretty much a [[AnyoneRememberPogs joke]] today. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/DenverTheLastDinosaur'' (1988) || ''WesternAnimation/DinkTheLittleDinosaur'' (1989) || Animated series about dinosaurs having adventures and a GreenAesop or two. || Denver had a one-year head start, aired in syndication and was set in modern-day while Dink came a year later (inspired partly by ''TheLandBeforeTime'', released inbetween the two shows), was aired by CBS and took place in the Stone Age. || Both shows ran two seasons but ''Denver the Last Dinosaur'' is more fondly remembered and had more episodes (50 vs. 21) than ''Dink''. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' (1988) || ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' (1992) || Comedic [[ThreeShorts multiple-segment]] SaturdayMorningCartoon about a wisecracking FatCat who lives with an annoying owner, has lots of misadventures, and dislikes dogs with a passion. || Both cartoons have the same art design for some characters, and they even have a second segment that has very different characters[[note]]''Garfield'' had ''U.S. Acres'', while ''Eek!'' had ''The Terrible Thunderlizards''[[/note]], but ''EekTheCat'' seems a bit DarkerAndEdgier than ''GarfieldAndFriends''. || While both are very well-known and well-remembered, ''Garfield and Friends'' is part of the ''{{Garfield}}'' franchise, which in turn is the most profitable comic strip ever, with lots of merchandise, books, movies, and animated cartoons. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (1989) || ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' (1999) || Primetime animated series about a DysfunctionalFamily with a stupid and obnoxious father, a patient and loving wife who sometimes has a mean streak, and three kids (a dimwitted son, a social outcast daughter, and a baby known for killing people) || DuelingShows made by [[{{Fox}} the same network]]. || ''TheSimpsons'' came first, has [[LongRunners lasted longer]], and is overall the most successful (and the one with the most fans, even if the fans favor the ''Simpsons'' from the 1990s and pretend the 2000 to present episodes don't exist because of how bad they are), while ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' got ScrewedByTheNetwork and canceled -- until ''FamilyGuy'' came back in 2005, due to high ratings and money made from DVD sales. The winner, in this case, depends on which show you like more. Of course, if you hate ''FamilyGuy'' and can't watch ''TheSimpsons'' anymore due to its SeasonalRot, then the winners are the other adult animated shows that have followings of their own (''AmericanDad'', ''South Park'', ''Futurama'', ''BobsBurgers'', anything on AdultSwim, ''Archer'', etc). ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' (1990) || ''WesternAnimation/WidgetTheWorldWatcher'' (1990) || Saving the environment through use of superpowers. || || ''Captain Planet'' is generally more remembered than ''Widget'', so it wins. It also loses because ''Captain Planet'' is generally mocked for being preachy and politically correct. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' (1995) || ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' (1998) || [[AnimatedAnthology Animated Anthologies]] ||Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''WACS'' and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''Oh Yeah'' both featured stand-alone shorts and recurring series. Several cartoons from both shows spun-off into full series (Including ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenAgeRobot'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', and'' WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''). They even shared one cartoon series: ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'', which debuted on ''WACS'' and moved to ''Oh Yeah''. Both were developed by the same man, Fred Seibert. || The jury's out on this one. Both shows went on to create some of the best modern classic cartoons. In this case, it all depends on which one you found to produce the better shows. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' (1996) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (1997) || A group of fourth grade kids and their usual adventures with their friends || ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' didn't have school as its main focus (while a bunch of episodes focused on school, it wasn't the main point of the show), while ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' focuses more on the kids at school. || While both are remembered fondly by those who grew up on 1990s cartoons, ''Recess'' wins, as it had a more successful movie than ''Hey Arnold''. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' (1996) || ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' (1998) || Nickelodeon animated sketch comedies that presented about four shorts an episode. ||Both aired on Nick in the 1990s|| ''{{KaBlam}}'' wins in terms of nostalgia from 1990s fans all grown up and reminiscing about their favorite shows on the Internet, but both shows win this round since they had fairly successful runs on Nickelodeon from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (1997) || ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeFriendsAndJerry'' (1998) || Animated comedies centering around four boys getting in trouble and committing acts of ComedicSociopathy. || ''South Park'' was aimed at the 18-34 crowd on ComedyCentral, while ''The Three Friends and Jerry'' was a kids' show on ABC Family (then known as Fox Family). Trey Parker, the co-creator of ''South Park'', happens to lend his voice to both shows. || ''South Park'' lasted [[LongRunners MUCH longer]] than ''The Three Friends and Jerry''. Meanwhile, ''Three Friends and Jerry'' got canceled after parents complained that the characters' antics were too obscene to be shown to children. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' (1998) || ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'' (2002) || A trio of children take time off from their schoolwork to fight crime. || The big difference, though, was that the Powerpuff Girls were superpowered sisters born as the result of a lab accident. Teamo, on the other hand, were ThreeAmigos of no blood relation who instead used supertools. || ''The Power Puff Girls'' -- it has a movie, an anime adaptation, a ten-year anniversary special, a complete series DVD set (including a lot of episodes that didn't air on TV), syndication on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang [which airs a lot of classic CartoonNetwork in-house programs from the 1990s, along with old Hanna-Barbera shows, like ''The Flintstones'', ''Top Cat'', ''Yogi Bear'', and ''Huckleberry Hound''], and more fans that ''Teamo Supremo'' could ever wish for. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesWeirdMysteries'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery'' (2003) || About a gang dealing with supernatural activities in their normal lives. || Both of these works are LighterAndSofter, and by the way, they are based on comics. || While Archies only have two seasons, Martin has three seasons, making it the winner. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' (1999, KidsWB) || ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' (1999, FOX Kids) || MerchandiseDriven [[{{Spinoff}} Spinoffs]] of WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries and SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries respectively, released in 1999. Both shows centered on familiar heroes with new PoweredArmor costumes with InvisibilityCloak powers, in a {{Dystopia}}. || WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond was set in a BadFuture {{Dystopia}}, centered upon a teenager trained by Bruce Wayne in the {{Batman}} role and somehow developed into a DarkerAndEdgier show than its predecessor, particularly in TheMovie that was based on it. SpiderManUnlimited - which was originally planned to be a AnimatedAdaptation of [[{{Marvel 2099}} Spider Man 2099]] - eventually came to be about Peter Parker in an AlternateTimeline {{Dystopia}}, where [[BeastMan Beast Men]] ruled the Earth. || WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond, which lasted for three seasons and inspired [[TheMovie a full-length animated film]]. SpiderManUnlimited was canceled after one season. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'' (2005) || An eternally cheerful super-optimist in a nautical-themed world of anthropomorphic sea creatures/fruit annoys his fussbudget neighbor while having wacky adventures with his dim-witted best friend. || ''Fred'' premiered on KidsWB at the height of [=SpongeBob=]'s popularity, and the main characters of both shows act and sound extremly similar. The main difference was that Fred was a talking coconut who lived on an island with other talking fruit. || [=SpongeBob=] by a light year -- it is one of the most successful cartoons of all time, [[CashCowFranchise the cornerstone]] of {{Nickelodeon}}'s empire and has lasted for more than ten years. ''Coconut Fred'' was hated by critics, canceled after half a season, and considered an OldShame for voice actor RobPaulsen (who hated the fact that he worked on a ''Spongebob'' rip-off, when he could have been on the actual show if he'd just asked nicely). ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'' (2010) || Cartoon about underwater creatures living human lives. || ''[=SpongeBob=]'' is set in an ocean and stars a sponge working in a fast-food restaurant, while ''Fish Hooks'' is set in a pet store/TV repair shop and stars a group of fish [[StealthPun going to high school]]. FishHooks is also much more realistic in plot, fish locomtion, food, and scale, while SpongeBob is more cartoony. || SpongeBob, no contest. It is one of the most successful, well-known, and well-received cartoons of all time, and pretty much is to Nickelodeon as Mickey Mouse is to Disney and Bugs Bunny is to Warner Bros. Fish Hooks, on the other hand, is relatively obscure and doesn't have the success or fans that ''Spongebob'' has. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/MaxSteel'' (2000) || ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan'' (2000 CGI reboot) || MerchandiseDriven CGI cartoons about young extreme sports athletes who gain super powers and fight international criminals with the help of a shadowy organization and a quirky group of friends. || While Max was a high schooler who gained more traditional "brick" powers through unstable nanotechnology, Alex Mann was an adult celebrity whose powers were more akin to AwesomeByAnalysis taken to [[UpToEleven ridiculous levels]]. Also, ''MaxSteel'' was animated more realistically while ''ActionMan'' looked stylistically similar to ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''. || Arguable: While ''MaxSteel'' lasted longer, even getting animated by ''ActionMan'' producers MainframeEntertainment once the latter show was cancelled AND getting 3 additional TV movies to boot, ''ActionMan'' is tied to a long-running toy franchise (even if only as it's [[CanonDiscontinuity red-headed stepchild]]), and, ultimately, BOTH shows have been largely forgotten. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' (2001) || ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (2002) || Cartoon about [[ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl extraordinarily empowered]] [[TeenSuperspy teenage girl superspies]] in HighSchool. || ''TotallySpies!'' was [[{{Animesque}} more anime-influenced]], while ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' stuck with straight-up ActionGirl antics and a strong supporting cast. || Basically a tie. Each show is more popular on its home continent (''Kim Possible'' in America, ''Totally Spies!'' in Europe), though ''Totally Spies!'' ended with an extra season at a later date to its credit in Europe. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' (2003) || ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (2005) || {{Animesque}} martial arts shows influenced by Chinese mythology and the classical elements. || ''Avatar'' was more mythological and story driven with well-developed characters, while ''Xiaolin Showdown'' was more merchandise driven. || Although both shows were quite good and lasted for the same amount of seasons, ''Avatar'' is the clear winner, with a larger fanbase, more episodes, better writing, a [[Film/TheLastAirbender live action movie]] (despite that it was torn apart for being nothing like the actual series), and a SequelSeries in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' (2004) || ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' (2007) || [[AnimatedSeries Animated]] RealityShow parodies. || ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' is modelled after ''TheRealWorld'', and the reality premise takes a secondary role to the characters and jokes. ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' is modelled after competition shows like ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', and the reality aspect is crucial to the series. Also, while ''Total Drama Island'' is for younger viewers, ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' isn't. || Considering that one show is for kids and the other isn't, this is really a case of apples and oranges (in which both shows are too different for there to be a clear-cut case of which is better), but, in terms of longevity and how the network treated the show, ''Total Drama Island'' wins. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' (2004) || ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' (2004) || {{Animesque}} {{sentai}} show with {{Magical Girl}}s. || Somewhat similar shows that both originated in Italy, except ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' has a bigger budget and scripts with less [[{{Filler}} filler]]. Many of the similarities were introduced through the adaptations. || In America, the Winx had broadcast TV coverage from day one while the Guardians started on cable, so the Winx ended up clobbering them {{ratings}}-wise and have now outlasted their dueling counterparts. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' (2005) || ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'' (2005) || Animated SupernaturalSoapOpera about a kid with supernatural powers, a talking dog, a wise OldMaster, and an annoying kid sibling tasked with protecting both the human and magic worlds. || Moderate differences, but in both, a young Asian person inherits the mystical mantle of a grandparent, becomes a mediator between the human and magical worlds, and has an irritating opposite-gender younger sibling and a talking pug dog. || Though both shows ran for about the same number of months, ''American Dragon'' has twelve episodes over ''Juniper Lee'' (although this was a standard {{Disney}} practice of stretching out seasons). ''Juniper Lee'' however has the advantage of getting three seasons whereas ''American Dragon'' only got two and even a DVD release of the first season ([[NoExportForYou albeit only in Australia]]). Of the two series though, ''American Dragon'' is more well-remembered. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' (2008) ||''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow'' (2009) || Silver Age esque kiddy-shows with a focus on lighthearted fun. || ''Brave and the Bold'' is still quite close to the comics in characterisation, except much more far-out in its storylines, whereas ''Superhero Squad Show'' is extremely OTT and whacky in everything that happens. Also, BTBATB focuses almost exclusively on ADayInTheLimelight, prioritizing characters like Clock King and Green Arrow over The Joker and Robin. || Both shows are quite popular, but so far ''Brave and the Bold'' is slightly more popular. ''Superhero Squad Show'' will likely make more money thanks to being MerchandiseDriven, however. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'' (2011) || ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' (2012) || Animated CGI tv-series based off hit Creator/DreamworksAnimation films. || Despite both series being owned by Dreamworks, ''Panda'' is being aired on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} while ''Dragons'' is set to air on Creator/CartoonNetwork. || Jury's still out on this one. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' (2007) || ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' (2010) || Cartoons about kids who act out overactive imaginations. || ''P&F'' is a Creator/DisneyChannel staple; likewise ''AT'' for Creator/CartoonNetwork. ''AT'' treats Finn's imaginative world ''as'' reality, while ''P&F'''s eponymous characters [[BeyondTheImpossible screw with reality]]. || Both are mega-hits for their respective networks, though ''P&F'' has the advantage of Disney's promotional juggernaut behind it. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' || ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' (2012) || See above, though replace "overactive imagination" with "Dark Book of Secrets" in the case of ''Gravity Falls''. || ''Gravity Falls'' seems to be Disney's returning fire for CN's shot at ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. Like ''AT'', Dipper of ''Gravity Falls'' has to deal with various monsters and challenges, except they explicitly take place in the "real world" (i.e., CryptidEpisode: The Cartoon Series). || ''Gravity Falls'' just premiered, so it's way too early to tell, though both shows are very well-received in ratings and criticism.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' || ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' (2010) || Both are cartoons about young people having [[HilarityEnsues zany adventures]]. Both shows also happen to be on the same network, Creator/CartoonNetwork. || More a case of Complementing Shows than directly Dueling Shows especially since their creators both worked on the earlier ''[[TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack Flapjack]]''; ''Regular Show'' appeals to an older audience almost to the point of being a stealth Creator/AdultSwim series. || Tie. Both shows are still on the air and still are gaining fans and detractors.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' || ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}'' || A group of kids have misadventures in school whilst under the eye of a large strict female teacher. || OneSaturdayMorning was beating KidsWB in the ratings race, so it seems pretty obvious here that Warner Bros. decided to FollowTheLeader. || ''Recess'' is the clear winner, having lasted six seasons and even landing a theatrical feature film. ''Detention'' was canceled after one season. ||
|| MTV's ''{{Downtown}}'' || ''MissionHill'' || Late 90's Adult [[AnimatedSeries Animated]] series about the bizarre city life. || Both shows were released in 1999, they were well animated following artistic styles of Alternative comics. They were so unique and strange, too strange for their own good. They both had strange characters and stranger settings. They had many sexual jokes and nerdy pop culture jokes. || Both shows lasted only one season with 13 episodes. ''Mission Hill'' wins only because they get reruns on Creator/AdultSwim after the show was cancelled, along with a proper DVD release. ''Downtown'''s DVD release is only available online directly from the creators. ||
|| ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine Thomas (the Tank Engine) & Friends]]'' (1984) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Chuggington}}'' (2008) || Short stories about a fleet [[SentientVehicle anthropomorphic train engines]] and their daily working lives on the railway targeted at young children. The stories often contain AnAesop for the target audience to learn. Expect to hear lots of [[FlintstoneTheming train-themed puns]]. || ''Thomas & Friends'' was initially filmed using real railway models in live-action and the episodes were presented as if someone was reading them from a storybook; a storyteller would narrate the stories and do all the character voices. Later seasons use [[AllCGICartoon CGI models]] and gave each character their own voice actor (though the storyteller was still present). ''Chuggington'' used CGI models from the start and doesn't have a narrator; the episodes rely purely on dialogue. The characters in ''Chuggington'' are animated in a much more lively manner, showing lots of body language even if it defies the laws of [[ArtisticLicensePhysics physics]], [[NoOSHACompliance safety]] and [[ArtisticLicenseEngineering engineering]]. The body language for the engines in ''Thomas & Friends'' is largely restricted to facial expressions. || Most likely ''Thomas & Friends'', because it has a [[LongRunners much longer brand history]] than ''Chuggington''. The latter is still being derided as being a [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks ripoff]] of the former. The fact that ''Chuggington'' was created by former employees who worked on ''Thomas & Friends'' doesn't really help. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' (2011) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' (2012) || Action cartoons about teenage superheroes from the DCUniverse and MarvelUniverse respectively, training under the world's greatest superheroes while dealing with [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld everyday teenage problems]] || WesternAnimation/YoungJustice is the more serious and serialized of the two, especially in its [[GrowingTheBeard second season]]. WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}} is more jokey, frequently featuring cutaway gags and slapstick comedy. It is also known for working AnAesop into most episodes. Young Justice airs on CartoonNetwork, while Ultimate Spider-Man airs on DisneyXD || Young Justice has a season on Ultimate Spider-Man, although it's too early to tell. Young Justice has the critical edge, with Ultimate Spider-man suffering by comparison to its [[TheSpectacularSpiderMan predecessor]]. Young Justice ended its run with its second season (after a lot of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork scheduling changes and hiatuses]], while Ultimate Spider-man has been renewed for a second season. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' (2012) || ''Westernanimation/TeenTitansGo'' (2013) || Cartoons about teenage superheroes from the DCUniverse and MarvelUniverse || || ||
|| ''RobotChicken'' || ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' || Mashup of sketches and parodies to games, films, animations and everything else in media. || ''RobotChicken'' is fully in stop motion while ''Mad'', based on the cult magazine of the same name combines traditional animation, stop motion and CG. Both air on the same channel. || Hard to tell as ''Mad'' is rated PG while ''RobotChicken'' is mostly not for kids at all.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' || ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'' & ''TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' || [[KidHero Kid]] IdiotHero wants more in his/her life. || By the time Johnny Test came on in 2008, ''The Mighty B'' got negative reviews and ''Flapjack'' got positive to mixed, but wasn't really a hit with anyone (except the PeripheryDemographic) || ''The Mighty B!'' and ''Flapjack'' (despite its fringe fans and people who now see the show as one of Cartoon Network's best) got cancelled so ''Johnny Test'' is your winner. Of course in terms of critical appeal, "The Mighty B!" and "Flapjack" win. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' || ''TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'' || Collections of cartoon shorts in half-hour kid shows. || ''Tex Avery'' is alleged to be an homage to old Tex Avery cartoons while ''Animaniacs'' is original itself. Both shows also originally aired on analog television channels. || ''Animaniacs'' by a long shot. It had great ratings, lasted for 6 years, and was very positively reviewed. ''Tex Avery'' on the other hand was loathed by critics and viewers and only lasted a year before getting the ax.
|| ''OggyAndTheCockroaches'' || ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' || Bullies contently annoys the titlure protagonist. || The second season of ''Scaredy Squirrel'' aired while ''Oggy'' has his fourth season. || ''Oggy and The Cockroaches'' had various success in television in multiple countries (excluding America).
|| ''The BabyHuey Show'' (1994) || ''TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'' (1995) || A modern take on classic cartoon characters.. || The second season of ''Baby Huey'' was produced by FilmRoman (the same company behind ''Twisted Tales of Felix''). || It's a tie. Both shows were good, but they didn't last long enough.

|| ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' (1984) || ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' (1984) || {{Sentai}} show with TransformingMecha. || ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' seems to be the obvious pale knockoff... so it comes as a surprise to many that the ''[[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots GoBots]]'' toys [[OlderThanTheyThink actually predated]] ''Transformers'' by two years.

|| ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (1989) || ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' (1999) || Primetime animated series about a DysfunctionalFamily with a stupid and obnoxious father, a patient and loving wife who sometimes has a mean streak, and three kids (a dimwitted son, a social outcast daughter, and a baby known for killing people) || DuelingShows made by [[{{Fox}} the same network]]. || ''TheSimpsons'' came first, has [[LongRunners lasted longer]], and is overall the most successful (and the one with the most fans, even if the fans favor the ''Simpsons'' from the 1990s and pretend the 2000 to present episodes don't exist because of how bad they are), while ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' got ScrewedByTheNetwork and canceled -- until ''FamilyGuy'' came back in 2005, due to high ratings and money made from DVD sales. The winner, in this case, depends on which show you like more.

|| ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' (1996) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (1997) || A group of fourth grade kids and their usual adventures with their friends || ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' didn't have school as its main focus (while a bunch of episodes focused on school, it wasn't the main point of the show), while ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' focuses more on the kids at school. || While both are remembered fondly by those who grew up on 1990s cartoons, ''Recess'' wins, as it had a more successful movie than ''Hey Arnold''. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' (1996) || ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' (1998) || Nickelodeon animated sketch comedies that presented about four shorts an episode. ||Both aired on Nick in the 1990s|| ''{{KaBlam}}'' wins in terms of nostalgia from 1990s fans all grown up and reminiscing about their favorite shows on the Internet, but both shows win this round since they had fairly successful runs on Nickelodeon from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (1997) || ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeFriendsAndJerry'' (1998) || Animated comedies centering around four boys getting in trouble and committing acts of ComedicSociopathy. || ''South Park'' was aimed at the 18-34 crowd on ComedyCentral, while ''The Three Friends and Jerry'' was a kids' show on ABC Family (then known as Fox Family). Trey Parker, the co-creator of ''South Park'', happens to lend his voice to both shows. || ''South Park'' lasted [[LongRunners MUCH longer]] than ''The Three Friends and Jerry''. Meanwhile, ''Three Friends and Jerry'' got canceled after parents complained that the characters' antics were too obscene to be shown to children. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' (1998) || ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'' (2002) || A trio of children take time off from their schoolwork to fight crime. || The big difference, though, was that the Powerpuff Girls were superpowered sisters born as the result of a lab accident. Teamo, on the other hand, were ThreeAmigos of no blood relation who instead used supertools. || ''The Power Puff Girls'' -- it has a movie, an anime adaptation, a ten-year anniversary special, a complete series DVD set (including a lot of episodes that didn't air on TV), syndication on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang [which airs a lot of classic CartoonNetwork in-house programs from the 1990s, along with old Hanna-Barbera shows, like ''The Flintstones'', ''Top Cat'', ''Yogi Bear'', and ''Huckleberry Hound''], and more fans that ''Teamo Supremo'' could ever wish for. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesWeirdMysteries'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery'' (2003) || About a gang dealing with supernatural activities in their normal lives. || Both of these works are LighterAndSofter, and by the way, they are based on comics. || While Archies only have two seasons, Martin has three seasons, making it the winner. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' (1999, KidsWB) || ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' (1999, FOX Kids) || MerchandiseDriven [[{{Spinoff}} Spinoffs]] of WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries and SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries respectively, released in 1999. Both shows centered on familiar heroes with new PoweredArmor costumes with InvisibilityCloak powers, in a {{Dystopia}}. || WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond was set in a BadFuture {{Dystopia}}, centered upon a teenager trained by Bruce Wayne in the {{Batman}} role and somehow developed into a DarkerAndEdgier show than its predecessor, particularly in TheMovie that was based on it. SpiderManUnlimited - which was originally planned to be a AnimatedAdaptation of [[{{Marvel 2099}} Spider Man 2099]] - eventually came to be about Peter Parker in an AlternateTimeline {{Dystopia}}, where [[BeastMan Beast Men]] ruled the Earth. || WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond, which lasted for three seasons and inspired [[TheMovie a full-length animated film]]. SpiderManUnlimited was canceled after one season. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'' (2005) || An eternally cheerful super-optimist in a nautical-themed world of anthropomorphic sea creatures/fruit annoys his fussbudget neighbor while having wacky adventures with his dim-witted best friend. || ''Fred'' premiered on KidsWB at the height of [=SpongeBob=]'s popularity, and the main characters of both shows act and sound extremly similar. The main difference was that Fred was a talking coconut who lived on an island with other talking fruit. || [=SpongeBob=] by a light year -- it is one of the most successful cartoons of all time, [[CashCowFranchise the cornerstone]] of {{Nickelodeon}}'s empire and has lasted for more than ten years. ''Coconut Fred'' was hated by critics, canceled after half a season, and considered an OldShame for voice actor RobPaulsen (who hated the fact that he worked on a ''Spongebob'' rip-off, when he could have been on the actual show if he'd just asked nicely). ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (1999) || ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'' (2010) || Cartoon about underwater creatures living human lives. || ''[=SpongeBob=]'' is set in an ocean and stars a sponge working in a fast-food restaurant, while ''Fish Hooks'' is set in a pet store/TV repair shop and stars a group of fish [[StealthPun going to high school]]. FishHooks is also much more realistic in plot, fish locomtion, food, and scale, while SpongeBob is more cartoony. || SpongeBob, no contest. It is one of the most successful, well-known, and well-received cartoons of all time, and pretty much is to Nickelodeon as Mickey Mouse is to Disney and Bugs Bunny is to Warner Bros. Fish Hooks, on the other hand, is relatively obscure and doesn't have the success or fans that ''Spongebob'' has. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/MaxSteel'' (2000) || ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan'' (2000 CGI reboot) || MerchandiseDriven CGI cartoons about young extreme sports athletes who gain super powers and fight international criminals with the help of a shadowy organization and a quirky group of friends. || While Max was a high schooler who gained more traditional "brick" powers through unstable nanotechnology, Alex Mann was an adult celebrity whose powers were more akin to AwesomeByAnalysis taken to [[UpToEleven ridiculous levels]]. Also, ''MaxSteel'' was animated more realistically while ''ActionMan'' looked stylistically similar to ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''. || Arguable: While ''MaxSteel'' lasted longer, even getting animated by ''ActionMan'' producers MainframeEntertainment once the latter show was cancelled AND getting 3 additional TV movies to boot, ''ActionMan'' is tied to a long-running toy franchise (even if only as it's [[CanonDiscontinuity red-headed stepchild]]), and, ultimately, BOTH shows have been largely forgotten. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' (2001) || ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (2002) || Cartoon about [[ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl extraordinarily empowered]] [[TeenSuperspy teenage girl superspies]] in HighSchool. || ''TotallySpies!'' was [[{{Animesque}} more anime-influenced]], while ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' stuck with straight-up ActionGirl antics and a strong supporting cast. || Basically a tie. Each show is more popular on its home continent (''Kim Possible'' in America, ''Totally Spies!'' in Europe), though ''Totally Spies!'' ended with an extra season at a later date to its credit in Europe. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' (2003) || ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (2005) || {{Animesque}} martial arts shows influenced by Chinese mythology and the classical elements. || ''Avatar'' was more mythological and story driven with well-developed characters, while ''Xiaolin Showdown'' was more merchandise driven. || Although both shows were quite good and lasted for the same amount of seasons, ''Avatar'' is the clear winner, with a larger fanbase, more episodes, better writing, a [[Film/TheLastAirbender live action movie]] (despite that it was torn apart for being nothing like the actual series), and a SequelSeries in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' (2004) || ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' (2007) || [[AnimatedSeries Animated]] RealityShow parodies. || ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' is modelled after ''TheRealWorld'', and the reality premise takes a secondary role to the characters and jokes. ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' is modelled after competition shows like ''Series/{{Survivor}}'', and the reality aspect is crucial to the series. Also, while ''Total Drama Island'' is for younger viewers, ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' isn't. || Considering that one show is for kids and the other isn't, this is really a case of apples and oranges (in which both shows are too different for there to be a clear-cut case of which is better), but, in terms of longevity and how the network treated the show, ''Total Drama Island'' wins. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' (2004) || ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' (2004) || {{Animesque}} {{sentai}} show with {{Magical Girl}}s. || Somewhat similar shows that both originated in Italy, except ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' has a bigger budget and scripts with less [[{{Filler}} filler]]. Many of the similarities were introduced through the adaptations. || In America, the Winx had broadcast TV coverage from day one while the Guardians started on cable, so the Winx ended up clobbering them {{ratings}}-wise and have now outlasted their dueling counterparts. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' (2005) || ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'' (2005) || Animated SupernaturalSoapOpera about a kid with supernatural powers, a talking dog, a wise OldMaster, and an annoying kid sibling tasked with protecting both the human and magic worlds. || Moderate differences, but in both, a young Asian person inherits the mystical mantle of a grandparent, becomes a mediator between the human and magical worlds, and has an irritating opposite-gender younger sibling and a talking pug dog. || Though both shows ran for about the same number of months, ''American Dragon'' has twelve episodes over ''Juniper Lee'' (although this was a standard {{Disney}} practice of stretching out seasons). ''Juniper Lee'' however has the advantage of getting three seasons whereas ''American Dragon'' only got two and even a DVD release of the first season ([[NoExportForYou albeit only in Australia]]). Of the two series though, ''American Dragon'' is more well-remembered. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' (2008) ||''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow'' (2009) || Silver Age esque kiddy-shows with a focus on lighthearted fun. || ''Brave and the Bold'' is still quite close to the comics in characterisation, except much more far-out in its storylines, whereas ''Superhero Squad Show'' is extremely OTT and whacky in everything that happens. Also, BTBATB focuses almost exclusively on ADayInTheLimelight, prioritizing characters like Clock King and Green Arrow over The Joker and Robin. || Both shows are quite popular, but so far ''Brave and the Bold'' is slightly more popular. ''Superhero Squad Show'' will likely make more money thanks to being MerchandiseDriven, however. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'' (2011) || ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' (2012) || Animated CGI tv-series based off hit Creator/DreamworksAnimation films. || Despite both series being owned by Dreamworks, ''Panda'' is being aired on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} while ''Dragons'' is set to air on Creator/CartoonNetwork. || Jury's still out on this one. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' (2007) || ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' (2010) || Cartoons about kids who act out overactive imaginations. || ''P&F'' is a Creator/DisneyChannel staple; likewise ''AT'' for Creator/CartoonNetwork. ''AT'' treats Finn's imaginative world ''as'' reality, while ''P&F'''s eponymous characters [[BeyondTheImpossible screw with reality]]. || Both are mega-hits for their respective networks, though ''P&F'' has the advantage of Disney's promotional juggernaut behind it. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' || ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' (2012) || See above, though replace "overactive imagination" with "Dark Book of Secrets" in the case of ''Gravity Falls''. || ''Gravity Falls'' seems to be Disney's returning fire for CN's shot at ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb''. Like ''AT'', Dipper of ''Gravity Falls'' has to deal with various monsters and challenges, except they explicitly take place in the "real world" (i.e., CryptidEpisode: The Cartoon Series). || ''Gravity Falls'' just premiered, so it's way too early to tell, though both shows are very well-received in ratings and criticism.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' || ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' (2010) || Both are cartoons about young people having [[HilarityEnsues zany adventures]]. Both shows also happen to be on the same network, Creator/CartoonNetwork. || More a case of Complementing Shows than directly Dueling Shows especially since their creators both worked on the earlier ''[[TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack Flapjack]]''; ''Regular Show'' appeals to an older audience almost to the point of being a stealth Creator/AdultSwim series. || Tie. Both shows are still on the air and still are gaining fans and detractors.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' || ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}'' || A group of kids have misadventures in school whilst under the eye of a large strict female teacher. || OneSaturdayMorning was beating KidsWB in the ratings race, so it seems pretty obvious here that Warner Bros. decided to FollowTheLeader. || ''Recess'' is the clear winner, having lasted six seasons and even landing a theatrical feature film. ''Detention'' was canceled after one season. ||
|| MTV's ''{{Downtown}}'' || ''MissionHill'' || Late 90's Adult [[AnimatedSeries Animated]] series about the bizarre city life. || Both shows were released in 1999, they were well animated following artistic styles of Alternative comics. They were so unique and strange, too strange for their own good. They both had strange characters and stranger settings. They had many sexual jokes and nerdy pop culture jokes. || Both shows lasted only one season with 13 episodes. ''Mission Hill'' wins only because they get reruns on Creator/AdultSwim after the show was cancelled, along with a proper DVD release. ''Downtown'''s DVD release is only available online directly from the creators. ||
|| ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine Thomas (the Tank Engine) & Friends]]'' (1984) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Chuggington}}'' (2008) || Short stories about a fleet [[SentientVehicle anthropomorphic train engines]] and their daily working lives on the railway targeted at young children. The stories often contain AnAesop for the target audience to learn. Expect to hear lots of [[FlintstoneTheming train-themed puns]]. || ''Thomas & Friends'' was initially filmed using real railway models in live-action and the episodes were presented as if someone was reading them from a storybook; a storyteller would narrate the stories and do all the character voices. Later seasons use [[AllCGICartoon CGI models]] and gave each character their own voice actor (though the storyteller was still present). ''Chuggington'' used CGI models from the start and doesn't have a narrator; the episodes rely purely on dialogue. The characters in ''Chuggington'' are animated in a much more lively manner, showing lots of body language even if it defies the laws of [[ArtisticLicensePhysics physics]], [[NoOSHACompliance safety]] and [[ArtisticLicenseEngineering engineering]]. The body language for the engines in ''Thomas & Friends'' is largely restricted to facial expressions. || Most likely ''Thomas & Friends'', because it has a [[LongRunners much longer brand history]] than ''Chuggington''. The latter is still being derided as being a [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks ripoff]] of the former. The fact that ''Chuggington'' was created by former employees who worked on ''Thomas & Friends'' doesn't really help. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' (2011) || ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' (2012) || Action cartoons about teenage superheroes from the DCUniverse and MarvelUniverse respectively, training under the world's greatest superheroes while dealing with [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld everyday teenage problems]] || WesternAnimation/YoungJustice is the more serious and serialized of the two, especially in its [[GrowingTheBeard second season]]. WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}} is more jokey, frequently featuring cutaway gags and slapstick comedy. It is also known for working AnAesop into most episodes. Young Justice airs on CartoonNetwork, while Ultimate Spider-Man airs on DisneyXD || Young Justice has a season on Ultimate Spider-Man, although it's too early to tell. Young Justice has the critical edge, with Ultimate Spider-man suffering by comparison to its [[TheSpectacularSpiderMan predecessor]]. Young Justice ended its run with its second season (after a lot of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork scheduling changes and hiatuses]], while Ultimate Spider-man has been renewed for a second season. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider-Man}}'' (2012) || ''Westernanimation/TeenTitansGo'' (2013) || Cartoons about teenage superheroes from the DCUniverse and MarvelUniverse || || ||
|| ''RobotChicken'' || ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' || Mashup of sketches and parodies to games, films, animations and everything else in media. || ''RobotChicken'' is fully in stop motion while ''Mad'', based on the cult magazine of the same name combines traditional animation, stop motion and CG. Both air on the same channel. || Hard to tell as ''Mad'' is rated PG while ''RobotChicken'' is mostly not for kids at all.||
|| ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' || ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'' & ''TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' || [[KidHero Kid]] IdiotHero wants more in his/her life. || By the time Johnny Test came on in 2008, ''The Mighty B'' got negative reviews and ''Flapjack'' got positive to mixed, but wasn't really a hit with anyone (except the PeripheryDemographic) || ''The Mighty B!'' and ''Flapjack'' (despite its fringe fans and people who now see the show as one of Cartoon Network's best) got cancelled so ''Johnny Test'' is your winner. Of course in terms of critical appeal, "The Mighty B!" and "Flapjack" win. ||
|| ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' || ''TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'' || Collections of cartoon shorts in half-hour kid shows. || ''Tex Avery'' is alleged to be an homage to old Tex Avery cartoons while ''Animaniacs'' is original itself. Both shows also originally aired on analog television channels. || ''Animaniacs'' by a long shot. It had great ratings, lasted for 6 years, and was very positively reviewed. ''Tex Avery'' on the other hand was loathed by critics and viewers and only lasted a year before getting the ax.
|| ''OggyAndTheCockroaches'' || ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' || Bullies contently annoys the titlure protagonist. || The second season of ''Scaredy Squirrel'' aired while ''Oggy'' has his fourth season. || ''Oggy and The Cockroaches'' had various success in television in multiple countries (excluding America).
|| ''The BabyHuey Show'' (1994) || ''TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'' (1995) || A modern take on classic cartoon characters.. || The second season of ''Baby Huey'' was produced by FilmRoman (the same company behind ''Twisted Tales of Felix''). || It's a tie. Both shows were good, but they didn't last long enough.
