Are these shows still current? I feel like that stuff was on a decade ago, and I haven't been around children recently.
Congrats, you know and understand what this sub is all about. You’ve earned my upvote. >

I agree
Don’t be dissing Johnny bravo though >

He was a one trick pony >

Imma upvote you bc your right. But now we gotta beef >

I’d say late 90’s early 2000’s is the best era and it’s not even close. 
Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Billy and Mandy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Original Teen Titans Cartoon, Powerpuff Girls, Kids Next Door, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo
Pretty untouchable roster there. Sure, there are some good modern CN shows but it’s not close imo. Regular show is amazing though >

Everybody always sleeps on Camp Lazlo. ;-; >

That's a cartoon for the sleep deprived. I remember watching it one time at 3 am with my siblings (we were 14-18 years old then) and laughing our heads off >

Now this is what r/unpopularopinion is supposed to be. Absolutely fucking wrong but I commend you for posting this. >

I agree with the first half but you're contradicting yourself with the second.  
I'd argue there's two kinds of bad r/unpopularopinion posts.
Firstly, actually popular opinions, when someone says something that isn't remotely unpopular and a circlejerk begins.
Second, wrong opinions. Opinions that are wrong be it due to being uninformed, or biased or whatever, obviously unpopular. Thinking the earth is flat is unpopular because we've scientifically proven centuries ago and in innumerable ways that the earth is round. And it makes for a horrible post.  
This post tho is 100% based on taste. It simply cannot be wrong and it's not based on being uninformed about the matter.  
I understand that by "absolutely fucking wrong" you mean that you personally disagree but given you mentioned how this is a proper example of a good post I wanted to point out that being wrong would disqualify it. >

I have to say that you are incorrect in your opinion.
The Golden Age of Cartoon Network was amazing.
We had a good mix of classic Hanna Barbera cartoons, Looney Tunes, Popeye, Pink Panther, etc while giving us new fresh cartoons like Power Puff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Lab, and Cartoon Planet with hilarious sketch segments between cartoons.
Not to mention the experimental shows/animation that brought about Adult swim like SeaLab 2021, AquaTeen HungerForce, Harvey BirdMan Attorney at Law, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
Then there was all the fun little asides they did between shows like the Scooby Doo Project, animation character segments of cartoon characters in “reality”, and of course Cartoon Groovies. 
And of course Toonami’s creation and introduction of an entire generation into Anime.
Hardly any of that occurs now on the CN. >

Only thing I agree with you is during that time toonami was born. I LOVED toonami with a passion and bc of it I got to see things I wouldn’t have even known about like Dragon Ball Z, Gundam, Inuyasha etc
But I was never a fan of Hanna Barbera. I find watching things like Yogi Bear or The Jetsone unbearably boring…
Edit: you brought back a long lost memory. Another thing I miss is the Tex Avery show. That show was amazing and I looked forward to that every night w my brother. >

It doesn’t matter if you liked it, it was the variety and the melding of old and new that was important (I don’t like ALL HB either but I loved Herculoids, Space Ghost, Galaxy Trio, etc). There was something for everyone AND it introduced kids to the classics (like Tex Avery) as well as the contemporary shows of the time.
And all the other points I brought up? None of that you agree with (experimental animation like Coast to Coast and AquaTeen), Cartoon Groovies? No commentary on it?
The station isn’t what it used to be. It has some good shows, but it’s still a shadow of its former self. >

Here, take my upvote. I'm done with your bs. >

you prefer TTG over TT?? >

Yeah I do. Teen Titans Go makes me laugh. Teen Titans took themselves too seriously. 
Batman the Animated series was a million times better than the original teen titans >

Original teen titans was solid but good to see a fellow ttg fan but uh.. the point in the original was semi seriousness its just not for everyone ig >

Teen Titans came out almost 20 years ago, thats not the now lol >

Sorry I meant Teen Titans Go. Not the original one. >

Man you're on a roll with this shit. >

Yeah right Ed edd n eddy are iconic compared to the bullshit y'all have now >

What about kid next door, that is so good. >

They're hard to watch now, well yes, they were made during a time when technology was different >

Wow, now this is unpopular. And I disagree. Upvoted >

I’d argue that Adventure time is from what people have dubbed the “Golden Age” of Cartoon Network, along with shows such as Chowder, Flapjack, Clone Wars etc.. Gumball  is generally considered a holdout from right after the Golden Age that has simply managed to survive longer than most shows.
Teen Titans Go! is generally disliked by people because it’s seen as a cheap gag show that lacks much of the substance and character development in the 2000s Teen Titans.
Personally I enjoy Craig of the Creek because it does feel like the characters we’re introduced to do have actually development as opposed to being one-off episodes that have no bearing on anything going forward. >

Loved me some Chowder back in the day especially Schnitzel. Also I think Regular Show also deserves to be mentioned along with those other shows. >

You have to be more specific than “now”. Gumball and Adventure time ended years ago. I don’t watch CN anymore so idk how many reruns they do but I’d bet not many. The era of gumball, adventure time, regular show etc WAS peak CN, but that was like from 2010-2015. Most people are just bias to whatever cartoons they specifically grew up with (me included). I like a lot of the 90’s and early 2000s shows as well but they usually didn’t really have any plot and were more akin to loony tunes in tone. Not a bad thing but I like a bit more substance and themes. I was always a big fan of courage though. The worst part of the 2010’s era is that we still had to deal with all that live action crap that started in 08 but thankfully that stuff all died out fast. >

I don’t think CN does reruns of those shows at all the last time I looked >

Are these shows still current? I feel like that stuff was on a decade ago, and I haven't been around children recently. >

I'll say Cartoon Network was better in the 90's-early 2000's because the channel had multiple segments and numerous shows it would play.


Looney Tunes and not-as-popular shows in the early AM (Time Squad)


Toonami in the middle of the day


Adult Swim at night


After 2008 when they cancelled Toonami, they also had the bright idea to make Live Action shows and holy cow that was terrible.
And over the last decade, they would try to play their popular shows fairly often, ending up with days upon days of Teen Titans Go and Gumball, with small gems of shows inbetween like Mao Mao and that Princess Lego Cat show I can't remember.
I don't think I'd say Cartoon Network is better now. Even now, it is partially relying on WB's stock of movies to fluff up some scheduling. It played 17 Agai, Rampage, AND the recent Power Rangers movie. I think it's really just an old train choking on its own fumes as it tries to keep going. >

Shameless upvote farming >

Adventure time is definitely top 3 CN shows >

Not even top 20 >

funny how you said eastern european because i think they started that minimalist style of animation in the 90s, mainly chech republic >

Dexters Lab, Power Puff girls, Fosters etc all had the same “we drew this is Microsoft paint somewhere in Bulgaria” look to them. >

bit much >

CN is no more. Time flies. >

A rare post that’s actually unpopular, take my upvote >

Is it bad that I like CN both eras? >

Wait, Cartoon Network has shows other than Teen Titans Go? >

Not anymore >

completely disagreeing with you here, so here's an upvote. >

I'll give you Adventure Time all day son, but the 90s kicked ass >

I betcha 99% of the people disagreeing either haven't watched the 90s shows in a long time and are blinded by nostalgia or they haven't really watched the newer shows. Very likely both.  
Focusing only on the "Flapjack family" of cartoons (all of those for which some part of the creative team participated on Flapjack) we have: Flapjack, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Clarence, Over the Garden Wall, Infinity Train, Craig of the Creek and the Owl House among others I'm not that familiar with. Each and every one of those is a better show than most if not all of 90s shows.  
Don't get me wrong, I love Recess, I love Dexter's Laboratory, Scooby Doo, KND... But modern shows have deeper stories, way more character development and in general more enticing narrative. Of course this is just my opinion but, if you disagree with OP maybe think when was the last time you actually watched your beloved 90s shows and wether you're comparing modern shows to the actual 90s shows or to your memories and nostalgia of them. >

all the shows you mentioned are shitty trash. I like solid mid 90s cartoon network, maybe up until the late 90s, when they had ONE original show- space ghost coast to coast. The network was at its peak when it just ran syndication of known and less-known cartoons from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Space Ghost, Birdman, Josie and the Pussycats, Johnny Quest etc. >

Don't forget the Banana splits >

Really? You do realize that right now, cartoon Network is at its absolute lowest point in history, with all of the cancelations, trash reboots, oversaturation of TTG, and literally not more than 2 or 3 completely original shows currently in its name? You honestly think that this is better than how the channel was back in the 90s and early 2000s?
Do some basic research, before spouting more factually incorrect stuff like this >

Gumball is GARBAGE, I love Adventure Time, only the OG Teen Titans is good, and what is Craig of the Creek? Probably not good. Definitely an unpopular opinion considering most of the people looking at this post likely watched the 90’s cartoons. >

I haven’t watch most of the 90’s cartoons people are talking about and I still dislike op’s opinion >

You grew up with Power Puff Girls are you’re still watching daytime Cartoon Network? >

I wouldn't say exactly now but maybe some years ago where they would have a lot more variety with the cartoons. Amazing world of gumball was awesome though. I wonder if they'll ever make new episodes again. >

As of now isn’t Cartoon Network sitting with 3 shows? Teen titans go, we baby bears, and Craig of the creek(which is confirmed to be nearing its end) 
Yeah it’s not exactly looking too good for them compared to what their 90’s line up looked like >

i do enjoy a lot of more modern cn shows it's just a shame the network itself doesn't and only airs reruns of teen titans go and we baby bears all day with the occasional break for gumball >


Eastern European looking

OP chose violence... >

Take my upvote for your absolute shit opinion >

Johnny Bravo and Powerpuff Girls are still on Cartoon Network?? Im like 80% sure Johnny Bravo plays after tawog. Is it different by country? >

Fuck you >

Damn, one of the worst takes I've ever seen. Hey, at least it's actually unpopular though >

Well this maybe an unpopular opinion but you also mentioned you like gumball which is the kid friendly version of family guy >

Do you mean 2d animation? >

Congrats, you know and understand what this sub is all about. You’ve earned my upvote. >

I don't know, Adventure Time is hella good. >

That it is. I should’ve specified as such actually. But the other shows are no where near as good. >

I’d say late 90’s early 2000’s is the best era and it’s not even close. 
Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Billy and Mandy, Dexter’s Laboratory, Original Teen Titans Cartoon, Powerpuff Girls, Kids Next Door, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo

This is a really good analysis. 
I think teen titans go gets as much hate as it does because of two reasons. It’s a reboot, and reboots almost never measure up by fans. And two, Cartoon Network puts them on A LOT. Which they really shouldn’t as there’s other great shows they have.
As a stand alone show, had it not been a reboot, teen titans is a really funny silly show with catchy songs you’ll find yourself humming during the day. >

See ppl say its a reboot but the only carry over is designs and i wouldnt call sonething with nothing in common w the original a reboot yk? Its just a show of its own. Also Night begins to Shine a gd banger and i will die on a hill defending ttg bc it gave me that song. 
Like ben tens a reboot but ttg is just a series based on the shorts that used to play on DC nation i dont even think its a reboot of the original but a series based on the ttg shorts that ppl swear is a reboot >

It's been a while but if I remember correctly, it was pretty heavily advertised as a reboot instead of its own thing. It also uses the same 5 Titans and voice actors for each of them.
It works better as a show of its own but it definitely makes sense why people would see it as a reboot.
