Cartoon Network has been home to many fabulous shows. Why not reckognize some of them with this epic top ten list that pays tribute to all of our favorite shows!
Number 10-Teen Titans: Not to be confused with Teen Titans Go, this Teen Titans took place in the early 2000's. It stared our favorite cast of Titans fighting crimes and tracking down Slade. This show won 3 awards in its run, but was abruptly cancelled in 2006. This lead many fans (and myself) to be very sad at this decision. Though 6 years later, they revived the show with a decent comedy series that some-what satisfies the void. Atleast we know they lived after that final battle on the last episode of the original Teen Titans.
Number 9-Johnny Bravo: Well to be honest, this show would probably be the show your mom wouldn't want you to watch, atleast now-a-days. This show is probably the only kids show that is filled with nothing but adult humor. This stars a pompador-wearing wanna be Elvis making a fool of himself in public. Which is ultimatly why it deserves to be number 9. If you think about it, parents would probably boycot this show like they did with our number 8 pick.
Number 8-Adventure Time: Since this show has been airing since 2010, Adventure Time has spawned a huge fanbase. This show debuted alongside Regular Show in Cartoon Networks attempt at reaching out to an older audience. To be honest, they could've just green lighted Samurai Jack. Anyways, this show is known for its comedic adventures of a teenager name Finn and his B.A. dog named Jake, who protect the land of Ooo. Not to mention all the awesome side characters like Ice King, LSP and Gunter. This show has won countless awards, and has endless merchandise. For those of you thinking "Why isn't this number one?" My answer is "Because I'm Batman"
Number 7-Batman Beyond: For those of you scratching your heads (probably because you're like 7), this show debuted in 1999. Also for those scratching their heads still, cartoon network purchased kids WB (I mean seriously, where do you think Johnny Test came from?) a while back. This show won many awards, even a prime time emmy award, during its run. It stars a teenage understudy, who isn't Robin, learning from a bitter Bruce Wayne on how to be Batman. It takes place in 2039 in a futuristic Gotham City. It combines action, drama, and amazing animation to appeal to both kids and adults. Sadly, it was cancelled in the early 2000's. Atleast we have Beware The Batman.
Number 6-Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Ah, yes. The Clone Wars. One of the good newer shows Cartoon Network dished out for us, and actually aired at 9:00. This show was made inbetween Episode 2 and 3 of Star Wars. It stared Anakin Skywalker taking on a 14 year old padawan named Ahsoka Tano. They, of course, battled many villians and protected the republic from bounty hunters, droids and more importantly, the sith. Sadly, Disney took that away from us in 2013. As always, Disney just has to ruin the fun. If you feel up to it, you can stay up all night watching it on Adult Swim.
Number 5-Courage the Cowardly Dog: This show probably gave all the 90's kids nightmares. This is probably one of the best Cartoon Cartoons out there. This show spawned off of a Hannah-Barbara cartoon that used to air on Cartoon Network. Since then, its given us a delightful assortment of scary-funny episodes that we will forever cherish. It starred a purple dog named Courage who lived with Eustice and Ma Bagge in The Middle Of Nowhere. Nowhere, Kansas to be exact. Courage would defend his seemingly unaware owners from attacks by monsters and mutants. Even their own Nephew, Fred. Who we all know well. This kids is what creepy pastas were like before facebook. This show seems quite...naughty. *Freaky Fred reference*
Number 4-Dexters Lab: Dexters Lab is one of the most well known shows of Cartoon Network. With a short, Napoleon Bonaparte like kid who has some weird accent, making inventions in his lab. Which, of course, are foiled by his ditzy sister DeeDee or his enemy, Mandark. This show is quite hilaroius and fun for its time, It even had an episode with censored swearing. How much better can it get? It, like Courage, spawned off of a Hannah-Barbara show. I'm sure modern parents would change it, like how they changed Adventure Time and Regular Show.
Number 3-Samurai Jack: This show was created by the same person who create Dexters Lab, Sym-Bionic Titan and helped Star Wars the Clone Wars. This is obviously one of the best shows on Cartoon Network. It won many awards in its time. It starred a kung fu fighter named Jack, from feudal Japan, who fights a demon named Aku who destroyed his fathers empire. This show combined a new animation style, comedy and drama that appealed to both kids and adults. It was critically aclaimed and dawned the "golden age" of cartoon network. While it was in the process of a theatrical film, cartoon network cancelled it for budget cuts. It seems Genndy Tartakovsky will never win.
Number 2-Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy: This show was the final Cartoon Cartoons of the modern era. It was a spin off of Grim and Evil. This starred two friends, Billy and Mandy, who become best friends with the Grim Reaper. They go on many comedic adventures, and meat an awesome Dracula, and create many memes. One of those memes being Fred Fredburger. Geez, Fred Fredburger was the best. F-R-E-D F-R-E-D B-U-R...G-E-R Fred Fred Burger, yes! He almost reminds me of a character from our number one pick.
Here are some honorable mentions, so you guys don't flame at me. Regular Show Beware The Batman Young Justice Mad Naruto Power Puff Girls
Number One-Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends: You know this was gonna be on there! This is number one for many reasons. Mainly because it practically invented memes. I mean seriously, Cheese invented trolling. This show was created by Craig McCracken who made a show that was aimed at all age groups. This starred an 8 year old named Mac, who turns in his Imaginary Friend, Bloo, to Fosters. They come to an agreement that Bloo can stay there as long as Mac visits him every day at 4:00. They go on many adventures and come along Cheese. Cheese is probably the best. I LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK! This show lasted from 2004 until 2009. It left big shoes to fill that still remain empty. I'm surprised no one caught on to the hidden adult humor.
Anyways, those are my top tens. If I missed any, feel free to flame. |

Fantastic list. Don't agree with foster's placement, though. Most of these shows you can go back to and it'd just be as amazing as it was watching it as a little kid.

| I stated that the newer cartoon network shows didn't really deserve much. Coming from me, a person who watched the original cartoon network shows, my perspective is different. 2010 launched a new era for Cartoon Network. They were in the process of "picking up the pieces" of their old shows. Many of their original lign ups, such as fosters, were cancelled. Then they realized "Hey. Everyone who watched these shows are teenagers now. Why not aim it at their age group?" Then, out popped Adventure Time and Regular Show. As for Fosters taking number one, I was conflicted on that decision. Though, I really enjoyed Cheese. |

| As for Code Lyoko, that show was average. Not really a fan, and the shows plot had many holes. |

| Pokemon is probably an original in Cartoon Network, its just not good enough. Pokemon caused epilyptic seizures to many children in the late 90's. It was described as a "masacre", and the Japanese government was highly upset. This caused Pokemon to be almost banned in Asia, and Nintendo suffered greatly for it. This was due to the brightly colored effects, and multiple Michael Bay type explosions. Because of this, I did not list it. Also, Pokemon is very, very lame and hasn't suffered mainstream success since 2007. |

get yo facts straight
Pokemon is Japanese, and it first appeared in america on Kids WB
Nobody died from the porygon incident.
Blue and red flashes aren't Micheal Bay.
And Pokemon is still very sucsessful, especially due to the rise of social media. Pokemon X & Y outsell both the PS4 AND the XBone. |

| Pokemon is basically kid poker. Its just another way for Nintendo to make money, due to the poor performance of the original Wii. The show in itself is really everything a 3rd grader dreams of. Its not really a good show, but rather an explanation of what Pokemon really is. Its not as engaging as Beware The Batman, or Samurai Jack. Its about as engaging as a current episode of Spongebob. Not to mention the porygon incident is a very sensitive issue. It caused many children harm. |

Everything is a way for Nintendo to make money. Essentially, Pokemon is a very good RPG, better rated than the average FPS or Skyrim.
The show is crap. But I still watch it, for whatever reason. |

| Thats what I'm trying to say. This is about good Cartoon Network shows. You're talking about the card game, not the show. |

I said Pokemon as a joke.
You insulted it, I defended it. Guess it's kind of reflex to do that.
I spent too much time in S&I. |
