Enter Adventure Time With Finn & Jake on Cartoon Network. Created by genius animator Pendleton Ward, the show airs on Monday nights at 9pm ET, and centers on a preteen boy and his talking, shape-shifting pug.

As proof of just how absurdly amazing this show is, consider this song. The show's not a musical by any stretch, yet this played out at Finn and Jake looked for a new house, after their treehouse was taken over by a young female vampire:
I bow before its greatness. P Ward: I literally would sharpen pencils at the office to be a part of this show.
