Is this Cartoon Network at their worst? Nothing else represents

The episode where andy is convinced to buy everything in bulk was pretty good in memory.

Honestly I think this was on the same level of Camp Lazlo & My Gym Partner's A Monkey (forgettable but not offensively bad [like annoying orange for instance])

The big difference was Squirrel Boy was treated like it was going to be a flagship show so it seemed ever worse than something really terrible like The Cramp Twins.

Go back to facebook

>>86008007
Out of all of them I think Camp Lazlo was the best. It was never bad and had a consistent quality even if it was milquetoast.

>>86008007
It was a bulk of shows with no direction or general concept we got during the time
I mean describe SpongeBob, he lives in a pineapple under the sea, he is a cook at the Kristy mean, his friends are Patrick star, sandy and his neighbor and co-worker squidward who hates him.
Describe squirrel you, it's a squirrel that acts like a boy and lives with a family
Describe monkey school it's a kid who goes to a school with animals, also he is friends who is a monkey
Describe the cramp twins they are twins, one is normal the other a freak.
It's not hard to understand why they fail. Most of the episodes end up being centered around school because where would episodes take place? Kids = school right?
Ed Edd and Eddy had no school episodes during the good seasons

>>86008146
It was made by rockos moder life creator and if you think about it you ccan tell the similarities

>>86008187
I don't even remember what the school was like in EE&E

>>86008210
you mean besides the artstyle and character design?

>>86008007
This, I haven't enjoyed anything on CN since these three shows ended aside from whatever Ben 10 show they were probably milking.

>>86008609
You didn't even like Regular Show when it first started?

My Gym Partner's a strange show because I think it started off pretty obnoxious and crappy but got better as it went along by turning into a Seinfeldian comedy where every character is an asshole and nothing ever good happens. The writers just stopped giving a shit.

There's also a big difference between the content comparing the first season to the last. The first season suffered the problem of a lot of shows back then by being heavily regulated and not allowing anything to risque. Towards the end of the show, there are more adult jokes and you can tell that the network relaxed a little on what could and couldn't be in a kids show. This was around the same time that Chowder produced which I consider to be the show that revived CN.

Honestly, there's so much to say about that age in Cartoon Network, Gym Partner's role in the network easing up on the content watchdogs, and the debut of Chowder. I feel like I could write an essay about it.

>>86007959
I wonder if eggman from /fa/ ever sued these guys for using his likeness

>>86008867
Didn't flapjack come out first? Cause that was the show that definitely made CN into what it is now

No, this is.
Lest we forget.

>>86008537
what do you mean by character design?
i remember the elephant kid being really similar to wilbur except less of a cunt and less angry, laslo was a lot like rocko, the moose was like ed.
It was a different show by all accounts but ver similar in style.
Squirrel boy was made by duckman creator and he really fucked up, i mean he went so far from duckman he had nothing

>>86008867
Chowder & Flapjack aired during CN Real. They most certainly did not 'revive cartoon network'.

>>86009024
Life-action shows that are aired on channels that are supposed to air animated shows are always something stupid.

>>86009024
CN Real was a mistake
The fact that they sank a lot of money into that crap is the reason why they're only greenlighting quarter-hour slop now without caring about the actual quality thereof.

THIS. This was CN's lowest moment.

>>86008867
My gym partner's a monkey is strange to me because I always see it get shit on here when at its worst I only thought it was a mediocre show. I even remember liking a few episodes.

While squirrel boy and the cramp twins I totally forgot even existed because of how terrible they were.

>>86009075

Eh, I would argue Flapjack and Chowder kickstarted it. Despite being canceled, Flapjack heavily appealed to a lot of the 13-18 demo and showed there was a market for a show that was goofy enough for small children while also having humor that teenagers and young adults could find fun, and Chowder for a minute was extremely popular.

It wasn't until Adventure Time that they got that real magic though.

Flapjack is easily cartoon networks best show.

>>86009126
I consider the Flapjack/Chowder era to be CN coming out of that slump and then the debut of Adventure Time and Regular Show to be the revival.

>>86008867
chowder was miles above that shit and is heavily underrated, i mean it was so interesting visually alone that you pretty much couldnt look at a single frame and find it boring (cof cof adventure time), it also was surreal enough not to make the world seem too implausible but still reminding you every second that its still completely insane.
Well i forgot my point because i like chowder a lot, i remember very little about gym partner but i do remember the episode were he was completely obsessed with slapping his but so we got constant gross butt close ups for ten miutes, its still a completely soulless show. I mean a cschool run by animals seems like a cool idea but you need more than that for a show, you said it yourself, no direction. Thats the problem all these shows have

>>86009024
yes, absolutely

>>86009137
If that's so then why was it cancelled and replaced with Adventure Time and Regular Show?

Does anyone else feel like 2000-2002 were really mixed? We had high points like Samurai Jack, KND, and Maxwell Atoms shows, but also three of the most forgotten CN shows from what I've seen, Time Squad, Sheep in the Big City, and Robot Jones.

>>86009001
i like chowder more than flapjack even tho they both shine in very similar ways so there isnt really an objective reason to pick one over the other.
I guess i liked chowders world better, it seemed more inviting and it screamed you are going to have a fun time to your face

Because it didn't have 80's nostalgia or ~*deep lore*~ like those Regular Show or Adventure Time. But for just a straight up comedy it was the cream of the crop.

>>86009183
i can relate. I saw that Flapjack was a great show but didnt like its style. Chowder was maximum comfy.

>>86009198
no surprise there
t really should have been the last episode, if i had a show and found out it was getting cancelled i would do exatly that

I'm still grounded with the idea that Uncle Grandpa is the bottom of the barrel. But since theirs other great shows on at the moment, I can't call it the dark age.

How many good series does an era need to have to be considered a golden age? Looking back at 90s CN, there are only really 5-6 shows that most people unanimously would agree are great.

>>86009172
remember how the series finale of time squad portrayed ol W. Bush as a incompetent idiot. still have no clue how that was aired.

>>86009250
uncle grandpa reminds me a lot of that failed show about monsters in a mountain that we got wich was absolute shit and fulled with gross ous humor.
To me they swampped ugly designs with random pictures and random shit alltogether, changed the plot a little bit and kept everything else

>>86009283
Same creator, and Wikipedia says that Secret Mountain Fort Awesome was based on characters from the original Uncle Grandpa short.

>>86009250
The real low point in CN's history was greenlighting Uncle Grandpa over 3 Dog Band from the Cartoonstitute shorts

The only barely passable live action CN show was Destroy Build Destroy, and that was powered solely by having a semi-original concept and the godlike power of Andrew W.K.

>>86009148
Camp Lazlo was pretty good, imo.

>>86009508
I think UG is going to age well on /co/. I've watched it a few times and it's about as entertaining as Flapjack but /co/ treats it like Gym Partner's

>>86009552
context?

>>86007959
Holy shit, this brings me back. I mostly remember that short episode where Rodney is treating Bob who has not only broken all the bones in his body but also suffers from a fever, this episode was often aired as sort of a bumper between other series. It was good for that I guess.

>>86009552
I was pretty excited when it was finally greenlit since I really liked the pilot, but when I actually watched it it felt a bit bland.

>>86009172
I've literally never met anyone who would remember that Sheep in the Big City even existed. I myself remember it barely.

>>86009840
I had some kind of french regional edition of CN for a couple of years, and that cartoon was so bizzare that I can't forget it at all.

>>86009840
I fucking love that show, haven't thought about it in a while though, seems really obscure for some reason.

>>86009232
That show was average at worst anon.

>>86009075
AT, RS and by extension most of CN's contemporary lineup wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Chowder and Flapjack, not only because of staff that went on to do other things but because of their style. While dull stuff like My Gym Partner's a Monkey was going on these shows weren't afraid to be weird and even a little experimental.

>>86009232

I remember towards the end of MGPaM, the show really doubled down on reminding Adam how screwed he was. There was one episode where he wanted to get ready for college and his friends mocked him for thinking he could get into any real universities after going to a school for animals.

>>86009198
PRETTY PRETTY

I'm 20. I feel mild nostalgia towards Mr Meaty, Catscratch, and other relatively average mid-2000s Nick cartoons.

I feel absolutely nothing but disdain for Squirrel Boy.

It was not appealing when I was a middle schooler. It's even less appealing as an adult. It makes that Crash Twins, or whatever it was, show look watchable. Mid-to-late 2000s CN was extremely horrible bar Toonami, Flapjack, Camp Lazlo, and Chowder.

>>86012980

Oh, and MGPWAM. I also heard Class of 3000 was good but I could never get into it.

>>86013004
Co3000's strength was the underplayed humour and music (of course, the music). I never loved it but it was extremely watchable.

>>86009198
Whenever that show didn't focus on Jake, it was good.

>>86009172
I unirronically loved Sheep in the city

>>86013484
I don't see what's wrong with it, it was pretty fun.

>>86009172
>Time Squad

That was some really good shit, almost Billy & Mandy level. I'm gonna rewatch some of the episodes now.

>>86009172
SITBC was wonderfully absurdist and a prime example of a cartoon Network cartoon that you wouldn't see on Nick or Disney.

>>86009256
I would say its mostly percentage. 90's CN might've only had 6 good shows, but they only made like 10 or 12 original shows int he 90's anyway.

Some one please say me the year that the dark age begin and the year that finish?

>>86008867
>>86009001

Chowder and Flapjack seem so forgotten now its almost depressing. Regular Show is going through that same spiral and adventure time, too. I think the big problem is people keep dumping these shows for anything that's more lore based with more action/drama. People are so starved for western action cartoons they want that out of the humor based stuff.

>>86013824
I'd say 2005-2008

>>86013824
2006 to 2010?

>>86013894
What do you mean forgotten? In general/forgotten by CN/forgotten by /co/?

>>86013824
It's starts in 2005 and ends either at 2008 or 2010. Flapjack and Chowder were going into 2008 but AT and RS debuted in 2010

>>86013894
>I think the big problem is people keep dumping these shows for anything that's more lore based with more action/drama
No, /co/ is way too paranoid about this. The only lore/drama/action-based shows on CN's current lineup are AT and SU, and both have plenty of humor and episodic stuff. There are far less cartoons of that type today than there were in 2010.

>>86014427
What even constitutes a "lore" show? I know Gravity Falls and Adventure Time definitely count but does anything with a plot and a bit of continuity count?

For those who enjoyed Camp Lazlo and MGPaM, how old were you?

>>86009566
not really
it was better than the competition but still not great, you can tell rockos creator knew what he was doing and you could even take the show out of context and put it in the golden age and it would feel at home, not stand out in any way tho

>>86015083
I'd say that Lazlo is a decent show with a good two dozens episodes that are legitimately great. If there's anything that needs to happen on /co/ it's the development of episode watching guides.

>>86014427
>the only two lore heavy series are the two biggest series
>its all in your mind

>>86015146
i think it suffers from everything that made squirrel boy bad while still retaining a lot of what made more classic shows great.

the monkey show nobody remembers will makke people stutter and struggle to remember anything about it.
Its not about how wild it gets but about how well the concept is crafted, with these shows it seems that it when straight from idea to production without sitting down and figuring out the shit

>>86009552
To an extent. Personally I feel like it has the same feel as a lot of the 90's shows, but somehow doesn't manage to execute it as well. I don't dislike it, but I just think the style is unpleasant, the characters are generally annoying, and the type of humor has been done better before.

It's definitely better than a lot of cartoons that get released though. I can respect that it seems like there was genuine care put into it.

Probably one of the only redeeming factors about Cartoon Network is that they're not afraid to test the waters when it comes to more mature themes.
If they had had on Disney XD or one of those baby channels it would've been off-air.

I agree on the Jake thing wholeheartedly. It had potential but just didn't go all the way with it. All I remember was the part of the Animas ep that parodied the Grinch. I thought it was hilarious at the time, but now I don't know. Might have to rewatch all of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4leCTwQE5qE

That theme "song" is still godawful though

>>86014678
Yeah, pretty much. A thing with an ongoing plot and episodes that you can't watch in whatever order you want if you want to understand them.

AT is barely that sometimes these days, since it's so spread out that you'd have to make a list of what eps reveal anything, and all the status quos make that even more confusing and pointless-feeling. But I guess the ground rules for its world still apply.

>>86023872
I'd give the show a rewatch, at least some episodes. I recently gave it a mini-binge and was surprised how good some episodes were.

Mandrill better character

>>86020778
I remember the movie being alright, I watched it reluctantly but it had some dark humour with the whole "new brain" aspect and later on when the main cartoon turned out to be a bit of a selfish prick. But it would never work as a show, and that was shit from the get-go.

No, I don't think that show represented CN's dark age.

pic relate is what represented CN's dark age.

>>86025526
You raise a good point, but that show's a little too eternal to represent a short era

>>86009126
Flapjack only lasted for 2 seasons and really didn't do that well hell most people didn't even know when it was on. Chowder I know didn't do well given Greenblat's rants over CN's change in management and the fact that the show got little to no merchandise. Adventure Time pretty much revived the network.
>>86009137
That show, much like Cow and Chicken and Johnny Bravo, really relied on one gimmick and that's it. People who praised it mainly liked how the show would heavily rely on edgy 90's humor much like Ren and Stimpy which isn't bad because much like R&S it was able to get away with a lot of shit by being subtle but there's not much to it in the long run.

>>86009172
>Time Squad
It was mediocre.
>Sheep in the Big City
Absolutely GOAT
>Robot Jones
Deserves to be forgotten. That show was such a mess and looked ugly as shit. Its bad enough that they went back to redub the show to give the MC a more human voice.

>>86025463
The early episodes are garbage, admittedly. The last season is decent.

>>86007959

The show was decent and with potential, at least in the dub version had good acting and most of the humor was based on funny witty dialogue rather than physical humor like most people would think.

Also the character design is not that bad, is not same face universe and I like Steven Universe

>>86009024
Was I the only person who liked spoiler unnatural history spoiler

>>86012777
>AT, RS and by extension most of CN's contemporary lineup wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Chowder and Flapjack
Flapjack definitely (mainly because AT and RS alumni worked on that show) but Chowder was just as dull as Gym Partner, Camp Lazlo and Squirrel Boy, seriously if you remove the artstyle the show's writing got really really lazy as it went on. Go to see Harvey Beaks isn't going down the same route but its boring in comparison.

>>86023872
The constant scene transitions are really annoying. Good episode though.

I didn't watch MGPaM but there's that one episode where the Principal wants to see Adam's parents and he drops a reference to Weekend At Bernies. It was so weird seeing such an explicit in-character cultural reference in a kids show. That doesn't make the show good or anything but it seemed very deliberate.

Do you guys remember almost naked animals? That shit made me stop watching CN altogether. I watched only Adult swim for years until i was convinced every trace of that abomination was gone

I disagree with the Facebook and 9gag memes that Cartoon Network "died" in 2004. And I'm also going to disagree with you guys who consider Camp Lazlo and Gym Partner to be 'dark age' CN shows, when I think they were more of a silver age show (though right before the dark ages).

Even though 2004 was when the network changed its logo, it still managed to maintain a great year of programming with shows like Foster's season 1, peak Billy & mandy, peak KND, Duck Dogers, Megas XLR, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. It was the overlap between the best of the best of the 90s cartoons dwindling out/still getting reruns and the best of the early 2000s, before the mediocre stuff they pushed from 2005-2009. And of course, we can't forget the City bumpers.

2006 was when things were more noticeably headed towards the iceberg. And 2007-2010 is when the ship smacked into it with CN Real.

Why was the only joke for the toad principal being him being afraid to be sued

It's copypasta. It even has the same image.

>>86026564
There's a scene where Adam rips the horn right off of that teacher's snout and it's not gruesome or anything but it creeps me out.

>>86027183
Apparently the creator is American, also developed Peanut and Pickle and Fish Hooks

>>86026777

who takes the time to incorrectly point out the pun in show titles on a wikipedia page for some show nobody remembers?

>>86008210
it's also where a lot of classic spongebob crew went after the movie (it was mostly season 3 guys like Kent Osborne, Kaz, and Mike Roth, though there were some others like Mark O'Hare and Merriwether Williams)

>>86029833
Oh that episode was truly something special. You got to see Ingrid out of her element. Usually she only has to worry about lusting for Adam but that episode had her go to unfamiliar and ominous territories.

>>86008653
fun fact: of the shows that decended from flapjack, Regular Show was probably the one with the most "Camp Lazlo DNA" so to speak (the top people on the show, JG Quintel, Mike Roth, and John Infantino, were all Lazlo writers/boarders)

>>86009001

I was only disappointed cause I was expecting something of the quality of Duckman.

My favourite detail about Gym Partner is that the toucan's accent is fake. She just does it to ward off predators.

Isn't there some character in MGPIAM that /co/ waifus a whole lot?

Somewhere between 10 and 13

>>86030795
Many cartoons are about animals

>>86030795
simple, relatable, and pretty much 100% premade character designs?
Anthropomorphised animals have always been fairly common.

Though I don't think I'd rank Camp Lazlo as terrible, even though I hated the main character. It just wasn't my cup of tea.

MGPsaM, though, that was terrible. had a couple moments but was otherwise bland and bad. And it had the same main character schtick of Fosters, that of put-up pathetic kid and annoying asshole "friend," which did not reflect favorably upon it in the comparison.

>>86009024

Has anyone else noticed how CN shows seem to bring out so many opposing opinions?
Whenever someone discusses shows say from Nick or Disney, they can pretty much agree which show were great and which weren't.
Ask five different people what their favorite CN show is and you'll get five different answers ranging from incredibly comedic shows like Flapjack and Ed Edd and Eddy to more lore heavy and adventorous Steven Universe and Adventure Time, as well as shows in the middle like Gumball and We Bare Bears.

>>86031581
Disney and Nick's shows usually were able to share audiences compared to CN being so all over the place that it has the most diverse audience
CN really allowed experimentation for a long while and resulted in shows that had people more divided but were also more memorable

>>86031581
I think it's a dick-waving contest about who likes what kind of media. The lorewhores feel superior to comedies because they think comedies are lower quality. The comedy fans think lore-based shows are pretentious. I guess you could have this split with Disney or Nick but I think it's a matter that the amount of quality shows on those networks are fewer so there's less room to have a turf war over.

>>86021444

Wasn't Coconut Steve early 2000s and not a Nick show?

>>86031882
Mid 2000s but it was Kids WB

>>86015195
TTG and possibly Gumball are both far bigger than SU and no one cares about AT anymore. And even if they were the biggest ones, who cares? It's clearly not enough to affect the rest of the lineup. Or are you actually just whining about their popularity?

>>86026010
I don't know how you remember the show but I definitely recall Chowder going places Gym Partner and Squirrel Boy would never go to. It could get really wild when it wanted to. It wasn't Flapjack but it was close.

People forget that if it wasn't for Flapjack, we wouldn't have most of the longer running shows from the past seven years.

>>86009382
This, this guy right here. Snyder was trying multiple different things to keep CN relevant when Nick was starting to beat them. That's how we got CN Real and later the large surge of TV-PG Cartoons.
>Hmm... We're losing viewers to Nick. Maybe we should cut some of our shows. They might be turning stale and turning off new viewers.
>Crap, that didn't work. Well, those guys have live-action shows, maybe if we tried...
>SHIT! That went worse than usual! Well, we'll just push our PG rating with some edgy comedies and dark action shows...
>What'dya mean the toy companies don't want girls watching?! Uh... internet talent? Maybe if we show the action shows really early and really late...
>CHRISTINA MILLER IS ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. ALL ANIMATION WILL BE FOR BABBIES ONLY FOREVER AND EVER.

Really, since Miller's such a moralfag, it's inevitable about why the network descended into mediocrity. They're just running on autopilot because they're a network that thinks, to paraphrase a TTG episode from her era, "Cartoons were never cool!" People actually liked TTG during Snyder's era, but under Miller, practically everything the network (and other animation firms owned by Warner Bros.) was terrible.

The worst part about all this is the removal of classic content. When Jim Samples removed the Hanna Barbera and other classic cartoons off the main network, he moved them to a new network, Boomerang. When Snyder got rid of the old shows, they moved to Boomerang, too. Suddenly, Christina Miller takes over and all the old cartoons vanish completely. Remember that art collection? Only one picture was from a classic show. Or how Snyder's PTE had everyone up to 2009, but the latest game is strictly what's currently airing.

>>86035227
Though, if I had to pic the point the network really lost its way, it would be...

...the creation of [adult swim]. Early on, the network struck me as one for animation enthusiasts of all ages. [adult swim], by its very nature, implied the daytime stuff was just for kids. Remember when Toonami aired the Midnight Run on weekends? It was advertised regularly on CN. (Or how else did you find out when to sneak out of bed?) [adult swim] cloaked the fact that adults could enjoy the network's programming, not helped by the shows becoming more and more childish. What started as shows about a wannabe casanova and a genius boy became a group of kids fighting things kids hate and an idiot, a girly overlord and a Jamaican Grim Reaper under Samples. By Snyder's term, the shows were about strange non-human creatures or animals behaving like animals shouldn't.

They got more untethered under Miller. You have a show about YouTuber bears, shows with a gumball machine with noodle limbs attached, and shows with photographic tigers and pizzas. Even the rebooted shows have less depth to them and are wackier. Just compare the two Robins here and you'll see how one is designed with layers, and one is just goofy. TTG Robin even looks 2D!

In conclusion, Cartoon Network stopped being good when Christina Miller came aboard, since she clearly doesn't like animation to begin with. The worst part is that we have to wait another seven years just to get her replaced, and even then, the next guy may be worse.

>>86033355
That looks kind of interesting. What's it from?

>>86014821
I was 9 - 12 while Camp Lazlo was on the air. I recall one night, both my little brothers were at their friend's house and my Mom went out for a bit with my Sister, and I was watching Camp Lalzo and drawing. It was the first night I got to spend alone by myself. At least until like, 11pm.

>>86014821
I was 8 when Camp Lazio aired, and thanks to growing up with Rocko reruns and VHS tapes, it was the first time I realized this was created by another person. It was probably my favorite show of the mid 2000s on CN. Now I'm 19, and while it's not the absolute best show ever, I view it as on average S1 of Spongebob tier. Pretty solid, get a few laughs per episode.

My Gym Partner is a Monkey had the same problems that made me dislike the majority of CatDog episodes, but there was one thing good from it: The fucking platformer game Cartoon Network has on its website.

Speaking of game, RIP Fosters Big Fat Awesome Party (or something along those lines).

>>86020778
I barely remember this. Was Jimmy's brain completely replaced or was it just a part of his brain? I remember thinking that was retarded then and it still is now.

>>86036422
I believe in the movie it was his whole brain. Pretty dark shit, I knew that it didn't work like that but it was kind of funny in a grim way.

That in itself also made the Walt equivalent sound like a hack, since his "characters" were just his own hallucinations.

I remember the movie being alright. The show was awful.

>>86014821

25, I watched the shows this year.

I've only seen a few episodes of each, though.

How the fuck could he even remember anything? And same, the movie was alright as a kid but I hated the show.

>>86037404
I know, it makes no sense. But the idea itself is pretty fucked up, it surprised me at the time.

The show was doomed before it even started. Different actor as well.

I think I'm gonna have to rewatch it.
