I would actually give Hellboy a shot. Giving life to a Mignola piece is hard work, and they did it admirably. However if there's any Mignola piece that deserves a nomination it's The Amazing Screw-On Head, which was somehow booted by two series well past their prime and a show so uneven it's maddening.

I really think they nominated the wrong South Park ep, but seeing as some of the best eps from last season were two parters I can kinda understand why they chose that one. Though I really felt it to be weak compared to better efforts of that and previous seasons. So for less than an hour my vote goes to Avatar, because so far that show hasn't let me down.

But I'm still torn between Hellboy and Foster's. It's sort of a bias, though. Going on pure criticism alone I would have to give it to Foster's. More heart, and it didn't have to struggle with bridging the gap between a decent comic series, a growing franchise, and trying to bring both into an animated DTV series. Hellboy was a good effort but far from reaching its potential. While GWH is peak entertainment through and through.
