The best animated show you can't see (well at least 50% of the country can't) is X-Chromosome, which airs on the Oxygen network.
Oxygen Media is the women's cable TV and Internet network founded by Geraldine Laybourne, Oprah Winfrey, and TV producers Marcey Carsey, Tom Werner and Caryn Mandabach.

X-Chromosome is an animated anthology series which features six rotating regular segments: Avenue Amy, Oxygen's answer to Sex In The City, chronicling the adventures of Amy Sohn, a real-life sex columnist constantly on the prowl for material; Bitchy Bitch, based on Roberta Gregory's alternative comic book; Corky Q's Chick Flicks, in which clay animator Corky Quackenbush lampoons movies primarily marketed to female audiences; Drawn From Life, Paul and Sandra Fierlinger's portraiture of real women's stories; Fat Girl which centers on Kate Bloom, a warm-hearted, funny, intelligent, fat woman living in ultra-thin Los Angeles; and Hey Monie, about the life of a single African-American professional in big city America.
There are also slots for one-shot productions -- like The Adventures Of Harry Follicle (by Chris Bonner and Sarah Bereczki) about a pubic hair that goes from body to body looking for a warm place to live.
