Adventure Time, a show made by a guy who worked on Flapjack, Pendleton Ward. This show has it all. Character development, humor, crazy adventures, and even its own gender swapped version. Notable characters:
    Finn the Human - A 15 year old human boy who loves adventures. Jake the Dog - Finn's adoptive brother who can change his body into any shape. Princess Bubblegum - Ruler of the candy kingdom, she tends to do a lot of science experiments. BMO - An adorable video game robot who lives with Finn and Jake. Marceline the Vampire Queen - A half demon vampire who enjoys playing music. Lumpy Space Princess - The sarcastic princess of Lumpy Space who speaks in a valley girl accent. Lady Rainicorn - the Korean speaking girlfriend of Jake's. Flame Princess - The hot tempered ruler of the Fire Kingdom. Ice King - The weirdo wizard who tends to kidnap princesses a lot.
Handy dandy links: Land of Ooo - Fairly large site dedicated to Adventure Time. Their store sucks though. King of Ooo - Dev blog. They post storyboards and art stuff on here. Bravest Warriors - Made by the same guy as this. It's free to watch.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

(Pointing out more known roles the actors have done)
Finn the Human - A 15 year old human boy who loves adventures.
uh... the roles he has done aren't really rememberable so... Voice actor of Finn in Adventure time.
Jake the Dog - Finn's adoptive brother who can change his body into any shape.
Voice actor of Bender in Futurama. John DiMaggio has stated he likes Bender more than Jake at a recent convention.
Princess Bubblegum - Ruler of the candy kingdom, she tends to do a lot of science experiments.
Voice actor of Starfire in Teen Titans.
Marceline the Vampire Queen - A half demon vampire who enjoys playing music.
Voice actor of Vanessa from Phineas and Ferb ("Whatcha doing?").
Lumpy Space Princess - The sarcastic princess of Lumpy Space who speaks in a valley girl accent.
If you've played Broken Age voice actor of Loveable Gus.
BMO - An adorable video game robot who lives with Finn and Jake. Lady Rainicorn - the Korean speaking girlfriend of Jake's.
Same voice actor. :P Not really notable due to only being part of 3 different shows. Rainicorn speaks in Korean (excluding S0 E1)
Flame Princess - The hot tempered ruler of the Fire Kingdom.
Voice actor of Malina in The Emperor's New School.
Ice King - The weirdo wizard who tends to kidnap princesses a lot.
Freaking Spongebob. Mayor, Narrator + other in Powerpuff girls. I could list their other toons too (rememberable ones) but I say that's enough for trying to figure out who comes from what.

Started watching the series alongside Doug Walker, who started making a vlog about it. I lasted for almost 2 seasons before stopping. I really, really wanted to give it a try, and some episodes even were somewhat enjoyable (especially the Marceline ones), but in the end, I just couldn't "get" it, so to speak. (I suppose I "get" it at an intellectual level, but the feeling just isn't there. I suppose you could say I "get" it, but I don't "dig" it.)

For long-running shows like Adventure Time, I strongly recommend viewing only the "best" episodes. Listing the episodes by IMDb-rating is the best way to find the best episodes. This way you don't need to waste your time watching the weak episodes that your random friend recommends for an arbitrary reason. I don't know about you guys, but I would rather watch 10 episodes of 10 different shows than 100 episodes of any single show. Adventure Time is okay for a couple of episodes. After that, it is time to move on. There are more adventures elsewhere...

Adventure Time is absolutely great. Probably the best cartoon right now. Peebles best character. Marceline second best. There's so many episodes that are just incredible. The whole Ice King character arc that kicks off with Holly Jolly Secrets (S03E19-20) is fantastic. I Remember You (S04E25) is such a strong episode, not to mention Simon and Marcy (S05E14). You'll never view the Cheers theme song the same way again. Other than those, have a list of recommended episodes from me: - Evicted (S01E12) - Guardians of Sunshine (S02E16) - Henchman (S01E22) - Mortal Folly (S02E25) - Mortal Recoil (S02E26) - Conquest of Cuteness (S03E01) - Too Young (S03E05) - What Was Missing (S03E10) - Thank You (S03E17) - Incendium (S03E26) - Hot to the Touch (S04E01) - Goliad (S04E10) - Princess Cookie (S04E13) - Card Wars (S04E14) - Burning Low (S04E16) - B-Mo Noire (S04E17) - Lady & Peebles (S04E19) - The Lich (S04E26) - Finn the Human (S05E01) - Jake the Dog (S05E02) - All the Little People (S05E05) - A Glitch is A Glitch (S05E15) - BMO Lost (S05E17) - Shh! (S05E20) - The Suitor (S05E21) - Be More (S05E28) - Sky Witch (S05E29) - Frost & Fire (S05E30) - Earth & Water (S05E32) - Time Sandwich (S05E33) - The Vault (S05E34) - Blade of Grass (S05E45) - Rattleballs (S05E46) - Betty (S05E48) - Bad Timing (S05E49) - Lemonhope (S05E50-51) - Billy's Bucket List (S05E52) - Wake Up (S06E01) - Escape From the Citadel (S06E02) - James II (S06E03) - The Tower (S06E04) - Sad Face (S06E05) - Food Chain (S06E07) - Something Big (S06E10) - Ocarina (S06E12) - Joshua and Margaret Investigations (S06E16) - Is That You (S06E19) - Jake the Brick (S06E20) - Pajama Wars (S06E23) - Evergreen (S06E24) - Jermaine (S06E33) - Chips and Ice Cream (S06E34) - Orgalorg (S06E40) - On the Lam (S06E41) - Hot Diggity Doom (S06E42) - The Comet (S06E43) Maybe that got a bit long but eh. Edit: Noone asked but added season 6 episodes to the list
