CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL
Original US debut: March 23, 1991
Created by: Mitchell Kriegman
Starring: Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Darling), Jason Zimbler (Ferguson Darling), Sean O'Neal (Sam), Joe O'Connor (Marshall Darling), Elizabeth Hess (Janet Darling)
Clarissa is a teen girl who addresses the audience directly to describe the things that are happening in her life, dealing with typical pre-adolescent concerns such as school, boys, pimples and an annoying little brother. Clarissa dealt with normal issues facing kids, confronting the issues as an independent freethinking teenager. The main characters in the show are Clarissa Darling, her family (consisting of her father Marshall, her mother Janet and her little brother Ferguson) and her best friend Sam living in a small suburban town in Ohio. Clarissa and Sam's relationship was a novelty on television at the time, due to few television series allowing a girl and a boy to be merely friends without romance blossoming.

SAMURAI JACK
Original US debut: August 10, 2001
Created by: Genndy Tartakovsky
Starring: Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack), Mako (Aku), John DiMaggio (The Scotsman)
Samurai Jack tells the story of a young prince (Jack) from Feudal Japan whose father's empire was destroyed by the demon Aku. As a child, the prince escapes destruction and travels the world training his mind and his body for years until he reaches adulthood, becoming a legendary samurai. After taking his father's magic katana, he challenges Aku to a duel and defeats the demon. However, before the prince can deal the killing blow, Aku creates a time portal and sends his opponent into the distant future, anticipating that he would be able to amass sufficient power to deal with the Samurai later.[ The protagonist arrives in a dystopian, futuristic Earth ruled by Aku and filled with his robot minions and a large number of alien immigrant races of various appearances.
