The latest episode of the awesome animated series "Gravity Falls" named "Fight Fighters" had a lot of great arcade references (not gonna spoil those) in it and the main plot mainly resembles a "storyline" from Street Fighter II.
I highly recommend not just this episode, but the whole series. Along with Adventure Time, Regular Show, Bob's Burgers and The Amazing World Of Gumball it's among the best animated shows out there right now.

Too bad. I think it's by far the best voice-over cast out there - even if some of them always sound exactly like them no matter what character it is.

> Dad.
I so much want to like Archer, but compared to Frisky Dingo it just feels like a cheap rip-off. Somehow it seems that it just gets good reviews and is loved by everybody suddenly since it's on a major network and not stuck in Cartoon Network/adult swim anymore (I feel the same about American Horror Story and The Walking Dead - everybody hates cliché horror movies, but everybody seems to love those shows). It's like that makes it a more mature show. It's like comparing The Thick Of It with Veep. It's the same people, but it's pure awesomeness and cheap rip-off.
It's also interesting, that the shows, that used to be adult-oriented, but were also consumable by children are now so childish, they are just boring for adults. And that stuff, that started out like a cute and fun childrens show (and still gets TV-Y7 ratings) is actually far from being for children in any way and is a full blown adult show.
I totally forgot The Venture Bros., which has been off for too long, but will be back with two more seasons starting in early 2013. I love it when an animated show keeps storylines alive.
American Dad is still the best Seth MacFarlane show, but it's not as good as it used to be. But it will surely be on for years to come and will get better again.
