Disney.

CN, tho TLA is Nickelodeons...

CN overall. While Nick has a number of standouts (ATLA, Zim, HA!, Spongebob, etc.) it has far more mediocre to bad cartoons in its history bringing it down. While you can argue that the current state of CN isn't great, it has way more good to great cartoons to stand on overall.
>>
CN for the mere fact that they take way more risks (Good and bad) while Nickelodeon seems to always be chasing them until they hit on something and then they plant themselves on it way longer than they should.

Considered one of the most iconic cartoons of all time.

Also long lasting, iconic cartoons. FOP's first several animated movies in particular, and the first Rugrats movie were exceptional.
>Avatar: The Last Airbender
Another primetime Emmy winning cartoon.
>Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Hey Arnold
Above average cartoons that are better than anything CN has ever fielded.

CN has always been the quantity channel. First it was tons of dusty old neigh-unwatchable Hanna-Barbara clones, then when they got their own animation rolling it was hit-miss-miss until they nearly fucked themselves with CN Real, and now all they have is 24/7 Screamball and TTG reruns.
>>
>>93114187
You're just forgetting how many shit shows Nickelodeon's pumped out over the years compared to CN. Yes Nick has a number of standouts but they pale in comparison compared to the ocean of failures. CN's had some misses here and there too but overall its quality far exceeds Nickelodeon's. Also, if you wanna bring live action into this with CN real, do I really have to remind you of how hard Nick shot itself in the foot with that in the late 2000's-early 2010's?

>CN finds good shows and generally treats them well
What parallel universe do you live in? CN hasn't treated it's old properties well for quite some time now, they barely even air their old cartoons even on Boomerang.

CN has treated the shows that made them great like trash. Nick isn't that great either but CN has become terrible.
>>
>>93114336
>You're just forgetting how many shit shows Nickelodeon's pumped out over the years compared to CN
Not nearly as much as CN. Even shows that are "mediocre" by Nickelodeon standards (Catdog, Rocket Power, MLAATR, Korra, or anything Hartman put out after Danny Phantom) are better than most rank-and-file CN cartoons.
>>
>>93114445
You're still leaving out the bottom of the barrel stuff that Nick aired, like The Brothers Flub and Butt Ugly Martians. CN never hit anywhere near that low until very recently. Also Catdog and Rocket Power were pretty fucking shitty man.

You are making the mistake of equating iconic with quality. FOP has always been a mediocre cartoon.

Fucking this. It has its moments, most famously Channel Chasers, but even at its peak it was very hit and miss.

I will say that Nick and CN's best are about equal, but Nick's WORST and mediocre are the worse of the two. fucking Fanboy and ChumChum, The Brother's Flub, fucking what they did to Making Fiends and other stuff. Say what you will about Making Fiends if you love it or hate itm but what they did was just wrong.

EEnE was just a run of the mill "everyone treats the main characters like shit" cartoon with just about every generic archetype you're bound to find in other cartoons from that era. It was above average, sure, especially compared to the pure mediocrity that is most of CN's lineup, but if you think its the greatest cartoon ever then you are the definition of a 90s babby millennial.

my post didn't do any of that. don't know how can people equate POF with PPG and Dexters Lab. The writing and animation just aren't on the same level.

then what would your opinion be on the greatest cartoon ever smart ass?

>>93115229
Neither of those cartoons had great animation either, and the writing for all those shows is hit or miss. Dexter's Lab is mostly remembered for its Justice Friends segments, and those pale in comparison to Crimson Chin's universe.
>>
>>93115236
The Simpsons

Man if you think that CN's lineup at the time that EEnE was airing was mediocre your taste is incredibly shit. Courage, Samurai Jack, KND, and Billy and Mandy were all running side by side with it.

Too bad CN never airs it. Seriously, they never air any of their old classics anymore, unless their Hanna-Barbera cartoons or Powerpuff Girls or Dexter's laboratory. At least Nick still shows their old classics regularly.

It's bullshit. Boomerang will air Nu-PPG and Teen Titans but you'll hardly ever see Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy or KND and they haven't aired Ed, Edd & Eddy in years.

Meanwhile Nick will have a night, every night to be exact, where they show their old shows and commercials/bumpers.

This thread does a lovely job spelling out the difference between Nickelodeon fans, who are typically older, and CN fans, who tend to be born too late to really remember the 90s or even early 00s.

None of the shows we are talking about had "great" animation. They were all tv shows, not movies. With that said, you are outing yourself as being ignorant of animation if you can't see how McCracken and Tartakovsky worked within their limitations to constantly produce dynamic shots and sparingly use their animation budgets to great effect. Meanwhile POF has had the same dull plastic stiff look throughout its entire run. And no, PPG and Dexters were not hit and miss their hitting was above average. You are gonna have a harder time finding an episode that was bad than a good one. Prove me wrong though.

The PPG movie was however well animated and the Dexter ego trip movie had a more interesting plot than any POF movie.
>Dexter's Lab is mostly remembered for its Justice Friends segments,

This statement is completely bogus. You can ask /m/, /v/, /a/, /tv/, /sp, any random board and they will give you different memories of the show. This I can prove with the archives. From omelet du fromage, FEED ME, dexter family go, "I failed you" etc. This memories go beyond 4chan btw.

Good look trying to get equally similar reactions from POF. Feel free to try

>This thread is about the overall body of work, not the current way channels are handling their schedules.
I think that how each network is treating their respective works is really important too.

Right now CN had some great classics, some definitely better than Nickelodeon's, but instead of showing them on Boomerang, the guys scheduling the nostalgia channel decide to air recent cartoons and blocks of Tom and Jerry as well as some Scooby Doo. It's really sad that they'll bury most of it for something new.
>>
>>93115880
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it is important. It's bullshit how CN's been handling its stuff recently, like why the fuck are they spamming TTGo on Boomerang too? It's just that this thread is focusing on the quality of the shows themselves and not how poorly the networks are treating them.
>>
>>93115781
What is POF? I don't get this unfunny meme you're trying to force.

>if you can't see how McCracken and Tartakovsky worked within their limitations
Genndy used the same anime references and sound effects like a hundred thousand different times in his cartoons. Honestly, I can't say I remember much about PPG, it just wasn't as enjoyable as Dexter or FOP to me, so I'm not going to try and argue about it.

>Good look trying to get equally similar reactions from POF.
Dinkleberg, Doug Dimmadome, Tell me I'm pretty, the parent's battering ram, Crocker... FOP is probably the most quotable Nicktoon short of Spongebob. I don't really get what you are trying to go by referencing a bunch of random boards.

Arguing about this will never get anywhere and will never produce clear answers.

I speak the truth.

Despite the state CN is in now, it undeniably is the better channel. You wouldn't see something like the effort it took to make things like Toonami, [as] and even basic stuff like going all in for the immersion for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and CN City on Nick. And even if they did, it was always accompanied with live-action shit.

CN is on a downward trend but it's always gone through ups and downs. Nick is just straight up down. People call AT a zombie show, but it's nowhere near as bad as Spongebob and FOP
>>
>>93116242
Nicktoons got the better ratings because, for most of the US, Nickelodeon was basic cable package and CN was part of a more expensive cable package. This meant that more poorfags could watch nicktoons than Cntoons

>What is POF?
Sorry, FOP is so forgettable I seem to forget its name.

So I am gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven't watch Dexter in years because there was more to that show than anime references and sound effects. Genndy used different types of techniques ranging from still painting to portray dread, to still backgrounds holding a shot and having rotating characters. Its usage of shadows to show fear and wide angle world views. Overall the entire show was far better directed, it had better frame compositions. Oh and the show had squash and stretches with smears from time to time. Don't think I have ever seen a singe one of this from POF. I am sure they exists but hell if I ever saw them.

All of the above applies to PPG too.

>>93115927
>I don't really get what you are trying to go by referencing a bunch of random boards.
I am bringing them up to refute your absurd notion that dexters is mostly remembered due to Justice Friends. That claim is dumb, holds no water and only makes you look questionable when you make claims like POF being so darn gosh quotable.
>>
>>93112990
Cartoon Network has the better shows, Nick was only carried by Spongebob.
>>
>>93112990
Nick innovated with their early stuff, but CN had longer lasting quality than Nick's shows did, which fluctuated wildly.

Sure you had some great stuff like Avatar, Hey Arnold, Danny Phantom, and early Spongebob on Nick's side, but you also had garbage like Sanjay and Craig, Mr. Meat, all the rugrats spinoffs, and nu-spongebob.

But CN had Ed Edd n Eddy, Powerpuff Girls, Fosters, Billy and Mandy, Dexter's Lab, Flapjack, Chowder, and of course, Samurai Jack. (Which was one of their most risky endeavors.) That isn't to say CN is without sin (CNReal is still fresh in the minds of many, as is Teen Titans Go) but they have had a longer track record of quality than Nick.
>>
>>93116434
Sounds like you're just throwing out a bunch of blanket animation terms to sound like you know about the issue, while flatly denying the other side used any of those techniques, which just isn't true. The Crimson Chin universe for instance used a different comic-book like style than the rest of the show. The switching of animation and style in Channel Chasers was far better than anything attempted in either of those shows. Also, it's important to note that there is more to cartoons than just the way they are animated. Voicing, sounds, music, plot structure, comedic timing. These things differ on an episode to episode basis and its impossible to compare them on a show to show average.

The argument you're making seems to be going nowhere. You're insisting upon that FOP is forgettable, when it remained one of the most watched cartoons throughout the 00s, and spawned a slew of art style clones on CN that never even came close to its level. You're living in some sort of weird bubble where you try to deny a show's success simply because you didn't like it and thought less popular cartoons from the same era were better.

Johnny Bravo for instance completely eclipsed Dexter's Lab. Genndy wasn't always an overrated hack, and MacFarlane/Hartman weren't always overhated hacks.
>>
>>93116649
>and spawned a slew of art style clones on CN that never even came close to its level.
You fucking wot. What show on CN was at any point attempting to emulate the style of FOP?
>>
>>93116711
That show with the blue and pink bunnies, can't remember its name. Billy and Mandy bit its style pretty hard too.
>>
>>93116751
Was that even a CN show? I cant recall it's name let alone where it aired

>Billy and Mandy
Nah not even close
>>
>>93116751
Yin Yang Yo didn't air on CN and the creator was a former storyboard artist on FOP/DP so that's expected, while Billy and Mandy has a passing resemblance at best. Even then that's hardly a "slew".
>>
>>93116751
>>93116819
Now that I think of it, Yin Yang Yo was a Disney cartoon or a CN? I can't remember it. That one should get a pass since it was from Bob Boyle.

Billy and Mandy bit it hard. Bold lines, stupid main kid, supernatural plot devicer, nerdy black friend, evil female tormentor voiced by Grey.
>>
It depends on whether we're purely talking about cartoon originals, or any and all programming that's shown on the channel.

Originals on vanilla CN vs Nick originals are relatively equal, Nick might even be a little better. If CN gets to take credit for [as] and early anime licensing though, Nick just gets completely blown out of the water.
>>
Nick wins, mostly because of Avatar and classic Spongebob. I would say that CN has a better average though.
>>
>>93112990
Cartoon Network.

Nickelodeon has stuff like Danny Phantom, Hey Arnold, Fairly Odd Parents and Teenage Robot, but there's way too many classic shows on CN, and new shows that are also really good.

>Sounds like you're just throwing out a bunch of blanket animation terms to sound like you know about the issue,

Every single thing I said specially related to one of the pictures none were blanket statements. And actually pretty sure I am using the wrong terms to describe some of the animation techniques they used but the idea is the same. I am not denying FOP has its moment, like I said "I am sure they exists but hell if I ever saw them." The vast majority of FOP episodes have this wooden stiff look. Pic related, compare the pilot art to the average episode. POF has the same problem that sponge bob and another anon brought up. CN kills their shows after a while, Nick churns them out like a machine. Old Simpsons vs new Simpsons animation for another example.

>Also, it's important to note that there is more to cartoons than just the way they are animated. Voicing, sounds, music, plot structure, comedic timing. These things differ on an episode to episode basis and its impossible to compare them on a show to show average.

We sure as fuck can or else this entire thread an some anon brinign up emmys as an example are meaningless. On an episode to episode basis PPG and Dexter both have been better written, had better comedic timing and animated than POF.

>You're insisting upon that FOP is forgettable
That has never been my claim, my claim has been that PPG and Dexter are better shows in every regard and that POF is a mediocre animated and written show. Which I have been proving with actual examples.

You ought to take off some of those nostalgia goggles. If we're going to bring up "Old vs New", compare the seasons of Dexter's Lab before and after the movie.

And you just posted a bunch of pictures from the same running gag in the same episode. There are episodes with standout animation in FOP too, like Action Packed.

>We sure as fuck can or else this entire thread an some anon brinign up emmys as an example are meaningless. On an episode to episode basis PPG and Dexter both have been better written, had better comedic timing and animated than POF.
The thread will just be 500 posts of a back and forth insisting that one opinion of a show is right and one is wrong, especially since you keep changing the subject from your original claim that FOP was mediocre, when it obviously wasn't or it would've fizzled out like the rest of the late 90s/early 00's works from both channels.

I always got the impression this board liked Johnny Bravo more than Dexter's Lab, and growing up watching those shows at that time, what people felt of them in real life too. Good luck finding "proof" of it, the closest thing might be ratings information from that era, and I'm not going to dig through fossils for that. Honestly, you're demanding proof of this sort of shit while insisting on a show that at times broke 10 million viewers isn't iconic, so quite frankly my dear, I don't feel like I need to prove shit to you.

>Dexter's Lab
>not stiff

Like I stated early on, neither of this show had great animation nor have I claimed Dexter had its flaws. But like I did said, Gendy worked with his limitations and managed to produce more interesting shots as opposed to POF who on average has a similar bland look.

>especially since you keep changing the subject
point out when I changed the subject, I have always been on point that POF is a mediocre show. You interpreted it as me saying it wasn't popular, you are arguing ad populum. Transformers movies haven't faded either.

>Good luck finding "proof"
How about the fact Dexter had more episodes? Or that after canceled both, they only bother to bring back dexter. Or about the fact that Dexter was plaster in the cover of Fusion Fall and that smash bros copy game.
>while insisting on a show that at times broke 10 million viewers isn't iconic
I HAVE NEVER MADE THAT CLAIM
You keep insist that I have when I am keep repeating I am criticizing the quality of the show.

>you're demanding proof of this sort of shit
>I don't feel like I need to prove shit to you.
Then you shouldn't make claims you can't prove. Here let me make one, you are a huge faggot. Now you being a faggot is fact and its up to you to prove otherwise. see how that doesn't work? faggot.

This is some great backpedaling.

>I have always been on point that POF is a mediocre show.
We know. You shit up every thread its ever mentioned in about it. Fact is, it isn't. Channel Chasers, Abra Catastrophe, School's Out the Musical, as well as many Season 1-4 episodes are excellent works.

>How about the fact Dexter had more episodes? Or that after canceled both, they only bother to bring back dexter. Or about the fact that Dexter was plaster in the cover of Fusion Fall and that smash bros copy game.
Probably because everyone involved in JB's creation left for greener pastures, while Genndy just got tired of Dexter's Lab and moved onto other works while remaining with the channel.

CN has a lot of really bad capeshit cartoons, while Nickelodeon's bad cartoons are for the most part attempts at original ideas (Butt Ugly Martians or whatever). I'll give some slight props for originality rather than rehashing capeshit a million times.
>>
>>93117871
Nick's aired some straight up trash back in the day that lowers my opinion of it compared to CN. Yakkity Yak, Butt Ugly Martians, Brothers Flub, and Super Duper Sumos just to name a few, along with a number of painfully middling shows like My Dad the Rock Star, Edgar and Ellen, and Pelswick. Those are just off of the top of my head. CN's had its lows and its future lineup looks questionable, but Nickelodeon has something like a golden cap of quality upon a mountain of shit and mediocrity.

>>93117967
If we're bringing in live action, then even counting CN Real, Nick still does worse. Or do I really need to remind you of the state of the network.

There is not a fanbase in existence more blinded by nostalgia than simpsons and all objective people wouldn't argue with this.

You don't know what the term backpedaling mean but go ahead and prove me wrong.

K, so you are an autist that thinks only one person has ever called POF mediocre.
>Probably because everyone involved in JB's creation left for greener pastures, while Genndy just got tired of Dexter's Lab and moved onto other works while remaining with the channel.
That doesn't even make fully adress the reboot of the series or that dexters is prominently shown in promotional art for CN. Just give up your dumb idea that Johnny Bravo was somehow more pouplar than Dexter when it clearly wasn't.

>You have the memory of a fish.
Dude, you are proving my point. Yes, since the begenning I have been saying POF is a mediocre show, where in that stament id I question the show as being "iconic."

Well because it's true. But I guess I should say, I'm in my 40s and saw none of these cartoons as a child, so that will affect my perception of them differently from you.
I mean c'mon, if someone 10 years from now tried to say that Disney and Nick had a lot of good live action shows 10 years ago, wouldn't your honest answer be that they were all shit? But if they had grown up with them, they'd feel differently.

CN as a whole is leagues ahead of Nick because of the extra content they get from Toonami and Adult Swim. Growing up as a kid I always preferred CN for this very reason.
CN had Quantity and Quality.
Nick just had Quality.

>>93115422
They do that on TeenNick.
>>
>>93118498
Both CN and Nick's list of original programming contains nearly the same amount of original programs. From those lists, they contain around the same amount of quality shows.

In terms of Quality and Quantity, Fox Kids and ABC were better.

>>93114445

Alas, nobody will ever know the hidden nick gem The Mighty B, which disappeared as quietly as it came in 2008. In a time of CGI and flash animation, it was hand-drawn using traditional cel animation (at least for the first half of season 1 before going digital) with a "John K Minus John K" art style. Every episode had a short animation segment that was done in the US before the ol' shipped to Korea BS, and its noticeable by the much rougher animation that gave it so much personality. It was constantly getting better and better before its end on Season 2. It was loaded to the brim with reaction face material too.

It was a show lost in time--It emulated Nick's 90's style PERFECTLY. Too perfect, honestly, that I feel it was better than nearly every 90's cartoon they made. But sadly, it never found its audience, and was outshined by more Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob episodes. Katie Rice did a bunch of season 2 storyboards too and they're real great episodes. I miss this show dearly.

Some points I didn't make as clear as i could due to lack of proper terminology but I stand by my statements. Just pick a random episode of dexter and watch the way things are framed and the few instances of animation that they uses as oppose to a random POF episode.

I also never put words in any ones mouth and never said FOP was not iconic. Neither did I made blatantly dumb statements like

i disagree, i was in middle school and high school in the late 00s/early 10s and kept watching nick for drake and josh and icarly. i knew boys and girls who liked these shows and would watch nick only for them - i think that demographic probably kept them afloat during that "dark time" more than their cartoons. i never tuned into cn during that time except for adult swim or anime.

nick had a lot of great, genuinely funny live action shows that hold up when i've watched them back as an adult - pretty much the whole schneider line - all that, kenan and kel, the amanda show, drake and josh, icarly. i don't know about the new stuff but considering how huge ariana grande is her show couldn't have been too bad.

That might be because Nick was founded in the 70s while CN didn't even exist until 1992.

both were awful at certain points. But probably cartoon network because going back to old nicktoons personally makes me realize how boring they are

Doug actually was a good show though guys. I enjoyed it just as much as Hey Arnold! as a kid. The Disney run was awkward, but the Nick run was enjoyable. I rewatched the older episodes recently and I still enjoyed the stories, the artwork, and the general tone. I haven't actually seen anybody prove why it's "bad" beyond "it didn't entertain me." I hated Ren & Stimpy but can still recognize it's an excellently crafted show.

Pretty much every show CN has made up until 2009 still holds up well (Dexter's Lab, PPG, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Courage, Billy and Mandy, Kids Next Door, etc.) while most of Nick's catalog from the 90's till now are mostly disposable hell out of all their 90's shows only Ren and Stimpy, Rocko and Hey Arnold are worth revisiting and after Avatar most of their 00's lineup are damn near unattainable. Despite being the network that produced the most popular and iconic cartoon series of the modern era it really did slow down their creative process and essentially doomed them from ever having another quality series of that caliber again.

>Danny Phantom
This show turns the shit immediately after Bob Boyle leaves, its largely wasted potential and there's no fan alive who will honestly defend the last season.
>MLAATR
I'm very much perplexed why people are still harping about how this was good because the only think people seem to remember out of it is Jenny's design. The show was just dull outside its unique art design.
>Rugrats was the powerhouse before Spongebob
Pre Revival Rugrats is good but everything after Passover is just meh and this is before it becomes shit when they introduce Dil.
>early FOP
I'm just going to say it outright that FOP is and will always be a hit or miss show largely due to how repetitive and formulaic it is even in the early seasons while the later seasons are criticized for being downright lazy and practically eliminating most of the cast the early season were just as flawed.
>Loud House
Fuck no. This show is the epitome of mediocre and doesn't really have anything that makes it standout especially in an era where everyone is doing something different to one up one another but at that same token the reason it was such a success is probably because it doesn't demand anything from the viewer or feels like a projection of the creator's self-esteem issues its just a sitcomesque cartoon, not a very good one but a cartoon none the less.

>Johnny Bravo
Go back and rewatch the first season of Johnny Bravo, its not very funny, while a lot of people complain about the changes in the second it at least had some semblance of writing involved regardless of how formulaic it became and then they went back to the old format of the first season and it was terrible.
>Fosters
Yeah you may want to revisit this, its not very good

>Steven Universe
Incredibly inconsistent show that can't decide if it wants to be an episodic comedy or serious serial show

>Chowder
Only the first season is watchable everything after is just obnoxious with the overused of 4th wall humor and fart jokes

I'm honestly saying Nick overall. But if it were just for present day or the past 5 years, CN easily beats Nick.

I blame Viacom worrying about short term profits for why Nick hasn't been good animation-wise lately. If it isn't pulling Spongebob level numbers or another "safe bet live-action family sitcom by Dan Schneider," it's probably canned. But back in the 1990s, Nick took a lot of risks and ran several kinds of programs during the day. They ran shows of different genres. Hey Arnold remains probably one of the greatest slice of life shows ever made. Angry Beavers did a great job of being a "two bros" sitcom. As Told By Ginger was an alright dramedy. And when a show was shit, Nick wasted no time on getting rid of it. Remember Pelswick? Exactly.

Cartoon Network in the meantime at least takes some risks and nurtures their creative talent. The only problem is rerunning TTG a billion times and worrying about toy sales. I hope nuPPG slaps some sense into CN or do a better job with the Ben 10 reboot; the original versions of the show was liked because they were quality and cared for by their creators, not because it was made to push some shit merchandise.

A lot of autists here can't seem to get over that people like different things than them. I mean I can understand questioning something like Jimmy Neutron, but Johnny Bravo/early FOP/Chowder/Rugrats being seriously questioned? You must thing leepest dore and anime references are the only things that can make a cartoon. What a fucking crock of cancer this thread turned out to be, and surprisingly the CN side was the worst of it.

People shit on FOP and Chowder all the damn time newshit I'm not even sure where this praise for Chowder even comes from since most people agree that the show turned to shit in a short amount of time. FOP was just never a good show to begin with and while it did get worse its fall from grace wasn't as drastic as say Spongebob.

People don't feel strongly about Johnny Bravo to bring it up in any regard and any thread we have for it is always split between people who liked the first season and people who liked the second and third (nobody likes the fourth season) so your insistence that it shouldn't be questioned is weird. A lot of people agree that Rugrats became bad once Dil was introduced and the pre movie seasons (or pre fifth season) were better honestly Klasky Ccupo was just not good animation company since the only show that was worth anything was Duckman which isn't even a Nick show.

That's an incredibly subjective question, if you want that factually. A lot of CN shows were about slapstick and action, while I feel like Nick shows were always more about dialogue. Each network had a little bit of both, but when you compare stuff like Johnny Bravo and EEnE to stuff like Hey Arnold and early Spongebob, it becomes pretty apparent. I feel like you'd have to ask another question entirely: should cartoons be about exploiting their nature as a cartoon and have wacky stuff, or should cartoons be slightly more grounded in reality and only use the nature of animation to enhance the ability to storytell?

The real answer is both.

This is all pretty subjective, but I found that while Nickelodeon had a higher number of "watchable" shows overall, Cartoon Network had more of my all-time favorite shows.

CN has had some real turds, and the network definitely doesn't know how to treat a good show at the moment, but they've had so many shows I really genuinely loved, willing to explore the content in great detail and shelling out for box sets etcetera. The only Nick shows that ever got that reaction from me were Invader Zim and (I'm sorry to say it today) Danny Phantom.

I also prefer the 'atmosphere' of Cartoon Network as a channel. I always loved the bumps and the way their shows are treated as a connected group. Adult Swim is miles better than Nick @ Nite as well.

Cartoon Network by a country mile.

Don't get me wrong, Rocko, Rugrats and Spongebob (especially Spongebob) are classics. Avatar for a brief season was pretty damn special too.

Buuuuuuuuuut that's about all she wrote. Ren & Stimpy is important historically but judged on its own merits it wasn't altogether anything that good outside of a few early episodes. Cartoon Network had Space Ghost Coast to Coast, PPG, Dexter's Lab, Courage, Samurai Jack, Adventure Time, Ed, Edd & Eddy, Toon Heads and fucking Toonami which by itself may be the single greatest contributor to anime's lasting influence in American culture. Where the fuck would nerd culture be today if DBZ hadn't gotten its grummy little paws stuck in millions of nine year olds minds every afternoon for years? Do I even need to mention Adult Swim which has been the defacto headquarters for stoner and underground humor on television for more than a decade (that in addition to its own contributions to anime culture here in the states namely Bebop)? Cartoon Network may not always have the best stuff and its had some droughts but taken altogether it fucking demolishes Nick as far as animation goes.
>>
>>93137356

If Cartoon Network gets its anime acquisitions, Nick gets its live action stuff.

Then you've got You Can't Do This On Television, Are You Afraid Of The Dark, Clarissa, Pete and fucking Pete, Alex Mack, Animorphs, Caitlin's Way, Roundhouse, Space Cases, Double Dare, Guts, Legends Of The Hidden Temple, All That, Kenan and Kel...

Clarissa Explains It All was a huge part of my childhood.

The Season 1 DVD set had a nasty red tint.
I still love that show to this day and even when I was a kid as well as when I was a teenager.

Also, I am not really sure on which network I loved the most both as a child and as an adult, Deschannel Famicom-senpai.

>>93137476

Mmm, I was trying to keep it animation. I've never argued Nick didn't have a better record with live action (obviously) even if after a point it pretty much just became a vessel whatever random pop star they wanted to prop up. With that being said i'll give you Pete and Pete, You Can't Do This on Television and Double Dare as classics Nick introduced but the rest aren't really anything to write home about. Even as a kid I found Animorphs unwatchable and All That/Kenan and Kel are better known as those shows Kennan was on before Saturday Night Live. Alex Mack, Caitlin's Way, Roundhouse and Sapce Cases aren't even ringing a bell. I remember a show that was set entirely in a summer camp and that's about it as far as live action 90's Nick outside the already mentioned...that shitty game show where kids stood in front of green screens and tried to play video games.
