User blog:Thomperfan/My top 10 favorite Cartoon Network shows

Hey, guys it's me again, 15-years old. And to celebrate me turing another year older, I've decided to do a top 10 list, 2 top 10 lists actually. My first one is gonna be about Cartoon Network.



Now, to be honest, I didn't really watch a lot of Cartoon Network really little, but I did watch it and for the most part liked it. It wasn't until I was maybe 9-10, (Whenever Adventure Time, Regular Show and Gumball came out) that I really started to get into it, after Cartoon Network's 20th birthday, I realized that there was other great programming that was on before, that I never even realized,and when some of the old CN shows got on Netflix, I watched them constantly, and now that I'm 15, I figured I'd look back on this show, I know CN's 25th anniersary was 2 weeks ago, but I figured, aw, screw it. Now, before we get to the top 10 there are some Honorable Mentions I'd like to give.

Honorable mentions
Foster's home for imaginary friends: I know, some of you are very shocked to see this show as an honorable mention, but rest assure, I do like this show, just not as much as the other shows, I'm gonna get to. This was really creative, and I really liked all of the characters, especially Mac and Bloo, and the way they all play off each other was really great to see, and I also liked seeing the different imaginary friends in the house.

Johnny Bravo: This was a show I would usually watch on Boomerang, and it was a pretty good one. Johnny definitely taught me all the ways NOT to impress a girl. I liked seeing how in eacch episode, he would try and impress a differemt girl, but it always backfired on him

Dexter's Laboratory: Another show I used to watch on Boomerang. I really liked how Dexter would always do something cool and genius in his laboratory, and also loved the fact that this was the start for many good cartoons on Cartoon Network

Teen Titans Go!: OK, I have to confess somethig: I never really watched the original Teen Titans, I didn't find it tht interesting. I kinda grew up on Teen Titans Go. And even I have to admit, while it has had some really BAD episodes, it's also had it's fair share of good/great episodes, an I find the characters to be kinda likeable.

The Annoying Orange: Aw, man! I use to love watching this with my sister, but not anymore. Mom banned us from watching it, because she said it made us fight more. I still don't know what she's talking about. But anyways, this show was unique in it's own sort of way, the characters, to me, were likeable, and Orange kinda reminds me of Luan, and I just really love Marshmallow. (That yay will never leave my mind)

Johnny Test: A lot of people say this show is a ripoff of Dexter's lab, but I think it works more. Johnny and Dukey are pretty likeable and the sitiuations they would get into was very cool.

Almost Naked Animals: Again, kind of a shocker I put this one here. I remember when I was growing off CN would air two new shows, Sidekick and Almost Naked Animals. And of those two shows ANA was my favorite, the story was pretty solid, the characters were funny and likeable, and the theme song was just so darn catchy.

Alright, with those out of the way, let's get this party started!

#10.
Regular Show

Don't let the title fool you. This show is FAR from regular, and it's a darn good thing. This show kept me coming for every episode. Every day, I would tune in to see what type of crazy shenanigan Mordecai and Rigby would get into. I never thaught a show about two slacker guys working at a park would be this good. Each one of the main characters were really likeable, from Mordecai and Rigby, to their friends, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and High-Five Ghost and Thomas. They each have their moments where they were likeable characters, and you could really tell that they liked each other. I will admit the theme song is pretty blah, but that doesn't take away my enjoyment for the rest of the show. One of the many things I liked about the show was the love triangle between Mordecai, Margret and CJ. In each episode I was wodering, what's gonna happen next? Who's Mordecai really gonna end up with? Especially after Merry Christmas Mordecai. And that ending, that was one of the best ways you could've ended a show like Regular Show. (Pops you will definitely be missed) So yeah, this show is one of the greats, despite of it being called regular.

#9
Clarence

This show, I describe to be the modern version of another show that I will get to later on this list, but in a different way. It's about this boy named Clarence, and two friends Jeff and Sumo and there adventures. For me, the best part about this show was watching how Clarence would interact with everyone around him, and his way of playing. He just had this innocence to him. Adn his friends were also pretty great too. Jeff, is very smart and has a certain way of wanting things to be perfect and Sumo lives with his dad and siblings, and he's more crazy and wild. The 3 actually work off of each other very well, and the best episodes of the show come from their relationship.

Now

Uuuuuhh,

Ah, forget it. I can't do an acronym. But, seriously here's #8.

Codename: Kids Next Door

Yes, I know I'm over 13 and I'm too old to be in the kids next door. But I do still love it and think it's a great show. I recently started watching it again, a few days ago. And it still holds up. The concept is beautiful, secret agent kids, fighting against evil adults (not their parents) and grown up tyranny. It alone opens up, so many ideas, and it takes full advantage of every one of them. We focus on Sector V, Nigel, Hoagie, Kukki, Wally and Abby, who are all fun, funny and likeable characters, and they work so well together. One thing you have to admire is the fact that while the kids next door and their oganzation have grown so big and they've gotten so far, they still act like kids, because they're kids. The intro was very catchy and very interesting to see. When I was younger, I always wondered how and why they were going into the shadows like that. They would aslo fight some of the most interesting villains of all time, and they're all based off things we kids don't like. There are these 2 guys who don't let kids play inthe big pool because of adult swim, there's a pirate who steals candy from kids, heck, there's a vampire, who literally goes to kids and SPANKS them. I'm pretty sure we can ALL agre we don't like that. They also did something that really blew my mind, there's this wone episode where Numbuh 4 (Wally) wants to go see a movie called Violence: The movie, but he can't beause it's Rated R. So he sneaks in and finds out that R-Rated movies are secret villain meetings. That totally threw me off. And also the ending episode where Numbuh 1 (Nigel) gets sent into space to join the galactic kids next door and he says goodbye to his friends you feel the emotion, everyone else is feeling. So Codename: KND is a great show and I really say you should watch it, regardless of your age. I think Numbuh 1 had it best when he said:

"Welcome to the world. A world ruled by adults. A world where kids are forced to take naps, allowed only limited time to play video games, and are marched off to schools to learn the grown-ups version of history. A world where every precious moment of our free time is replaced by homework and piano lessons. Where our dinner plates are piled high with horrible, shriveled, slimy, green vegtables. But, there's a group of kids who have stood up to say "no"! A group committed to battling the forces of adulthood and restoring freedom to kids everywhere. Recruited from the best and brightest kids around the globe. All under the gae of 13 and operating under the direction of our global command center on the surface of the moon. We are, THE KIDS NEXT DOOR!"

The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy

This is a show that you would never think would catch on or be so popular, but for some reason, it just works. Two kids, run into the grim reaper, challenge him to a limbo contest, and he loses. And since he lost he has to be their friend for life. This show hhas such a unique charm to it, and it really got away with so much. The 3 main characters are funny and likeable. Billy is an idiot, but he's a nice, funny and friendly idiot. He'll be nice to you, as long as your not a spider. Mandy may be a little girl, but don't let her fool you because she is sinister (#Mandyisthedevil) and Grim is just their friend always fed up by them and having to put up with them every day, but deep down he does care for them, and they care for him. In one episode, when Billy is going to move away, they even fight over who gets to keep him. In each episode they would always get into something twisted and crazy, and it was so nice to see each story unfold. They even did a crossover with Codename: Kids Next Door and it was so amazing and crazy. You'll never guess who the the bad guy is. The grim adventures of Billy and Mandy is great, and you should definitely check it out.

#6
Courage the Cowardly Dog

I'm probably gonna sound like an alien here, but I wasn't scared by this cartoon at a young age or now. But that doesn't mean it still wasn't good. Courage and his owners would always get into some pretty crazy things. Courage the despite him being a cowardly dog, is actually very brave. In each episode he risks his life to save Muriel and Eustace (Mostly Muriel) get home and are safe. The things he does for love. Courage also has a very good way of communicating, instead of telling something to people, he acts it out, very well. All the villains in this show were very creative. Like there was this fox who was trying to cook Muriel into "Granny Stew", there was this demon possed by a new matress that they brought. But my favorite of the villains has to be Fred, Muriel's nephew, he has an interesting history, his moments with Courage were pretty funny, he was so "''Naughty". ''And his episode was my favorite one too. Courage the Cowardly dog was a really good show, and you should check it out.

#5
We Bare Bears

Now THIS is a good modern cartoon, and it's so simple. It's about these 3 bear brothers, Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear and their attempts at trying to fit in and make friends in the modern society. Each one of the bears has their own unique personality. Grizz, is the oldest and the leader, he's pretty cool and always wanting to have fun. Panda is more of the insecure one, he's always on his phone. He's also the sensitive one. And Ice Bear is defintely the most outgoing and the funniest one, he also speaks in the 3rd person. These guys also having their own wqay of getting around. They stack on top each other, Ice bear on the bottom, Panda's in the middle and Grizz is on the top. It's called the "Bearstack". My relatives think that's weird, but I like it. It looks cool. There was also Chloe and Charlie. Chloe is a child prodigy, who has trouble opening out and making friends, but she instantly be friends the bears. And Charlie is more of like the annoying neigbor, and he's also a bigfoot, so he's shy around people but wants to help them. Each episode the trio would get into something wierd, and we always got to see what happened. In some episodes we even got to see the bears in their youth, and what happened there was that they were trying to get adopted by someone, but their plans always backfire. Another thing that makes this work, is that the bears do act like siblings, sometimes they get into fights, sometimes they have disagreements, but at the end of the day, they still love each other with all their hearts. And that theme song is so catchy, I can't help but sing when it comes on. We Bare Bears is awesome and definitely worth your watch.

#4
The Amazing World of Gumball

It's amazing how far this cartoon has gone. It started out as just the adventures of a 12-year old cat boy and his goldifsh brother with legs. But now, it's become a great cartoon for all ages that anyone can enjoy, the characters have become more mature and developed, the episodes have started making pop culutre references, and poking fun of things. Heck they even tackeled their own chinese ripoff and made it look good. Some episodes, it would just be about other people in the town, but the best episodes are still the ones about Gumball and Darwin. These two are just such great characters and they really do love each other. But the relationships they have with others is also very nice. One I wanna point out is Gumball's relationship, with the nice guy of the school Alan the Balloon, it seems very similar to Homer and and Ned Faldners. GUmball and Penny also have a really nice relationship, as they're not entirely sure how to show their affections for each other, but still love one another. The Wattersons themselves are a great family, they have their low points but most of the time they have high points. There was even one episode where Nicole, the mom, went back re-evaluating her life choices and realizes she loves her life and wouldn't change a thing about it. There was also and episode where we got to learn hiw Gumball and Darwin first met each other and that Darwin was actually bought from the back of a maigical van, and that he grew lungs and legs thanks to some love from Gumball. This show is what it says in the title amazing, and you should definitely give it a watch.

#3
The Powerpuff Girls (original series and reboot) You know, it's pretty hard to believe that a show about super-powered kindergarten girls, would become so popular, among guys of all things. A little fun fact, did you know that my parents were originally going to ban me from watching this show? I know, terrible, right? Luckily I was able to persuade them, and I can watch it again. And it's a good thing to, because the show still holds up. I just love how it wasn't afriad to show us little girls kicking super villain butt. And speaking of villains, all of the villains wer really cool. My favorite was of course, Mojo Jojo, because he is so cool and funny. And I do also like the reboot, because it does stay very close to the original, even if there are some big changes. And I personally think it's way better than the anime. First of all, I'm just gonna come out and say it, I like the new theme song more than the original, not that the original wasn;t good, but I think the new song is much more cqatchy, upbeat and nicer. I also like the new voices, don't get me wrong, the original voice actors were great and they did ptray these characters very well, but so do the new ones, they do a good job of voice the girls, and hey at least the other voice actors are still here. The girls still have their same personalities, just a bit more exaggerated. And for the very infamous twerking scene, let me just say this: It was in ONE episode ONE EPISODE!! IN ONE SCENE!!! And yet people are freaking out because of it. When the Loud House did this, people didn't say that they hated it, now did they? So overall the original Powerpuff Girls is amazing, with great characters, action and story, but so is the reboot, and you should give both of them a watch. (But you might wanna start out with the original.

#2
Chowder

This was the show I remember watching the most on Cartoon Network when I was little, and it still holds up to this very day. It was also where I discovered the voice actor of my dreams, Liliana Mumy (technically it was HigglyTown Heroes, but I didn't realize t, until I watched Chowder) But still, each one of the protaganists were likeable, they had their own goals and likeable moments. I also thought it was pretty cool, how all the characters are named after foods. Mung, Chowder, and Shnitzel always cooked such wierd and awesome food, and it was so interesting to see what they were gonna cook in the episode. I can actually relate to Chowder, a lot, epspecially now, because I do love eating, I have a very strong stomach, especially sweets. But there is also one thing I definitely have to praise the show for, how they constantly destroy the 4th wall in almost every episode. All of the character wer aware that they were in a show, and the way they made that clear was so entertaining to watch. It's a good show, check it out, if you haven't.

OK, just to recap my choices are

10. Regular Show

9. Clarence.

8. Codename: Kids Next Door

7. The Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy

6. Courage the Cowardly dog

5. We Bare Bears

4. The Amazing world of Gumball

3. The Powerpuff Girls (original and reboot)

2. Chowder

and finally...

The Problem Solverz



HA! KIDDING! (laughs) I got you guys, good! (laughs) MrTyeDye, you taught me well! (laughs) But seriously here's my real number 1.

#1
Ed, Edd n Eddy

I absolutely ADORE this cartoon, for everything that it stands for, evrything that is, and for what it's worth. The comedy is funny, Most of the characters are likeable, and that intro is just so darn catchy. Ed, Double D and Eddy, are such wondeful characters. Eddy is the leader and creative one, Double D is the brains and also very nice and Ed is... Ed. He's just so loevable and nice to everyone, that you just wanna hug him. I loved seeing what new thing the Eds would get into and I still do. I love this show much that I'm going up as all 3 eds for halloween. It really is the best Cartoon Network Show, then, now, and from then on.

And that was my top 10 list. What did you think? Did you agree with me? What's your favorite CN Cartoon? Let me know in the comments.
