I don't care what anyone else says this show has and always will be the greatest. Even though I prefer the older seasons better, there are some pretty great modern episodes too. I suggest watching ''To Cur With Love'' for those of you who are fans of the older seasons.

Best show ever! I will die when they finish the show. It's been on for 26 years(as of June 2015)

This show has been on for 25-26 years

Best show ever, never got stale.

Funny thing is, I used to hate this show until I actually watched an episode. Been obsessed ever since that day. It just goes to show you, try new things out before you judge it or...I don't know. Something like that.

Adventure time is perfect: it's weird, hilarious, tear jerking, breathtaking... and the characters are all unforgettable. marceline is my dream.
