Not All Kids Shows Suck Today.

[Soviet Heavy]

I recently started the thread called "Kids Shows Suck Today" After reading through it, I decided to go out and watch some of the shows I had collectively bashed.

After a while I turned to the DC Animated Universe Shows. I had stopped watching after Batman Beyond, but I decided to give Justice League Unlimited a spin.

Holy Crap was I ever wrong.

That show was fucking awesome! Okay so it technically isn't that new, it ended four years ago, but still! Fucking amazing show.

I haven't watched Batman: Brave and the Bold, or The Batman, but if JLA is any indication, these shows might do it for me.

So, now that I have that out of the way, I suppose I need to pose a question.

Do you know a kids show that you consider to be a gem among most of the stuff thrown at children these days?

Flapjack is brilliant and Chowder is... decent. Those are the only 2 shows remotely worth watching on Cartoon Network now.

 

[Lullabye]

Pheanus and ferb is awesome

 

[Sir Kemper]

Pheanus and ferb is awesome

I thought i was the only one who thought that!

What is it about that show that makes it so enjoyable to watch?

 

[Angry Caterpillar]

Chinese Spongebob.

I can't think of anything seriously, it all sucks to me.

 

[S.R.S.]

I still watch Spongebob after all these years.

Good tv is out there, you have to find it.

I would invert those: I like Chowder more than Flapjack >.>

Another surprisingly good show on the Cartoon Network is Adventure Time with Finn and Jake. Is it wrong that I still watch Spongebob? That Fairly Odd Parents and, The Penguins of Madagascar are the only shows on Nick that I like at this point...

I'd also like to point out that, despite the god awful movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a fucking awesomely cool show.

You summarized my thoughts on Cartoon Network completely.

Oh, how I long for the days of:

Courage The Cowardly Dog

Dexter's Laboratory

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Yes...The Powerpuff Girls, too.

Nothing on Nickelodeon is worth a damn. I can't wait to watch iCarly: Carly goes on more wacky adventures.

I honestly can't think of any nowadays that I like. I watched the Ed, Edd, n Eddy finale, which was kinda new, but that was mostly just for nostalgia's sake. Maybe if I had some younger siblings I could find some gems, but as it is, I don't really watch cartoons anymore.

Phineas and Ferb, easily the best, the Chronicles of Meap episode was easily one of the funniest things I have ever seen, David Mitchell was spectacular. Also, the Spongebob movie with the German dub is excellent. Squidward becomes Thaddäus Tentakel, and I think Spongebob's first name is Robert. Genius =]

Before I saw Super Hero Squad I thought it looked retarded... boy was I wrong.

 

[KillerH]

Any kids show from the 90s, back when it was worth getting up on Saturday.

For the new stuff though I would have to say Quest.

I watched... 2 episodes of Chowder and laughed quite hard. Everyone kept telling me how cool Flapjack was, but I watched some of that and thought it was absolutely stupid. But Chowder was definitely funny. That's literally it.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

phineas and ferb. it's like family guy for children.

bt the best one already got cancelled. anyone remember the animaniacs?

Watching The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy now, I realize that a) there were a lot of jokes I just straight up wouldn't have found funny as a child that I do now (I.e. the entire episode about Blacula and Grim being lost in the desert), and b) It was probably the... I can't think of the right word, but like, the 'worst' cartoon network has ever gotten. Literally, on a network where they're not allowed to mention death and dying, your main characters include: The Grim Reaper, A very disturbing, shining-esque girl, and an entire cast of hell-themed demons. They really did it right. I was officially sold on the show when I saw the character, "Puddin' " get fucking MURDERED by a demon zombie rabbit. I mean... how could I have watched that and not had nightmares as a child. It was the most disgusting... violent scene from any 'children's' show... EVER.

Invader Zim was MUCH more disgusting than Billy and Mandy. One episode revolves around Zim stealing children's organs. Can't forget the fact that everybody is absolutely nasty, cheesy, crusty and has some kind of mental issue. Although that episode in Billy and Mandy, with Puddin getting killed made me laugh so hard my ears were leaking an unknown substance. Probably my Gray matter.

Drawn Together was the best children's show (kidding). Lordy, did that show suck.

Spongebob Squarepants and Arthur. Those shows are clearly made so parents can enjoy them as well.

No one is going to mention Samurai Jack? come on people that was an amazing cartoon.
