They are both amazing shows for very different reasons. Dexter's Lab came out at a time when cartoons were in a class of their own. I think GF appeals to those of us who grew up on those edgy, quality cartoons. The characters are awesome, the art is amazing, and the story line is captivating. I feel like a GF junkie! Lol, I'm mostly a Grunkie, a Grunkle Stan junkie.
