/co/ what do you think of the 2007-2010 period of cartoon network?

I really liked those cartoons. Although every time I turned it to CN back then it was Ben10 or that stupid gym partner monkeyshit show

Chowder and Flapjack made it bearable.

Chowder was cool, it felt kinda weird to see the finale
Flapjack used to and still creeps me the fuck out most of the time
Still best boy
R63 of him is a qt3.14

Jesus Christ these two were pretty much the face of CN during that time. It's insane that they're like 7 years behind us.

Around the time when those live-action "Fridays" segments were replaced with "Fried Dynamite" and "Friday Night Premiere Thunder," CN was starting to lose it for me. Billy & Mandy, Fosters, KND, Lazlo, Gym Partner, all felt like they had overstayed their welcome and I was ready for them to be done. I was not expecting how awful the periods of CN embracing live action would be, though.

It was the proto stage for CalArts tumblr bullshit

I miss it.

You're being negative, but Flapjack HAS been responsible for a huge chunk of 2010s animation, by virtue of the people who worked on it going on to make their own successful shows.

If Flapjack never existed, what would cartoons look like today?

>>90831913
The cartoons were good, but CN real ruined it

>>90835310
they'd be completely different from what they are now, but they would still look like shit and we would hate them regardless

>>90831913
I was in middle school during this time so it gives me some grade A nostalgia.

>>90831913
Those two cartoons were good.
From what I recall everything else wasn't.

>>90831913
People don't seem to remember Camp Lazlo as much as these two when it was just as good if not better

I have always found Flapjack rather overrated, particularly on account of its main character. People complain about the protags of certain cartoons today being irritating; Flapjack was twice as bad as any of them

Flapjack is one of my favorite pieces of entertainment ever, not just one of my favorite cartoons. I absolutely love it. I kind of like Chowder but I was never a huge fan of it.

>Camp Lazlo
the crazy thing is that was the cartoon that was advertised the most from 2005-2008 and yet right when it ended it completely faded away from people's minds. I remember liking it back then but it really had no lasting appeal and was the epitome of average.
>>90840322
Gym Partner actually got better during it's later seasons because they stopped giving a shit and got really meta. Went from a show I disliked to a guilty pleasure

>>90840101
Flapjack was balanced out by his co-star, and the universe gave him proper comeuppance when he became insufferable. The show also wasn't trying to beat you over the head with character development or overarching story, so it didn't bother me much when flapjack would learn things and somewhat forget them.

What about pic related?

>>90831913
I don't necessarily look at 2009 as "the dark age," because these cartoons still existed. If I remember correctly this was around when CN started pushing out a lot of Canadian shows, not that I disliked them, those shows gave me top tier waifus. This was around when FHFIF and EEnE ended. It's mind boggling to remember that Flapjack and Chowder were still airing when Adventure Time started.

>>90840872
honestly i kinda liked it... felt like a guilty pressure back then

>>90831913
imho both Chowder and Flapjack were insufferable.

Flapjack was a carbon copy of Spongebob, right down to the laugh. The weird shit was just stupid and the creepy shit, which could have been cool, did not integrate well.

Chowder had a shitload of cute characters and fun designs. I loved the old Jewish couple and Chowder's schoolmates. But Chowder himself was awful. A character who always ruins everything and never learns anything is acceptable, but not as the main focus of your show, for god's sake. I would have loved the show if he'd taken his apprenticeship more seriously, but instead we got "He's dumb and can't stop eating! Every single episode! Forever!"

Loved it. Still have my AllSpark Almanac.
