I enjoy Regular Show, but Adventure Time is still a rip snortin' good time.
Other than that, Amazing World of Gumball has a few good episodes.

It was a three way tie between Generator Rex, Young Justice and Thundercats for me. Voted for Rex largely because it's the only one of the three that isn't based on existing characters. (ok there was apparently a comic first but far as I can tell there was only one issue and lots was changed between them.)
Out of the poll above? Tough call. I like Thundercats and Young Justice, though I didn't see much of them (I should really get on that), Adventure Time and Regular Show are both good, Genrerator Rex is pretty badass, and I like that Scooby-Doo: Mysteries Incorporated has taken the series in a considerably darker direction.
*SIGH* Still, I miss the old days, back when the majority of cartoons on *Cartoon* Network were all worth watching, and there were no dumb live-action shows. I hate feeling old when I'm only in my 20's....

The only one I've really watched is Adventure Time. But regardless that show is great so I chose it.
You know something, a few wrong posts and this thread could take a turn for the worst.
Must. Resist. Stupidity impulse. Must not reply to certain people.
Honestly, there was a time period where I hated most new cartoons, now, after the whole CN Real thing that came and went, I'll take anything...and judge it meticulously, but still take it. I'm just glad any cartoons exist at this point, since there aren't that many on the air. Most of the shows below encouraged me to take a look at newer shows.
OT: Hmm, well I'd have to say Adventure Time. I had a love/hate relationship with this show. Wasn't of a fan of most earlier episodes, some were borderline annoying for me but later on they smoothed things out and the show kinda caught on to me. Can't wait till season 4!
Right behind it is Generator Rex, because I've always wanted a superhero like this to pop us since I was 10 years old. The whole machine-human-nanite thing has always seemed cool to me. Some of the sound effects sound out of place though...
Regular Show bodes well with me, though it seems to have the Tom-and-Jerry thing going on with me in terms of loving and hating the character. My childish half loved Jerry's antics while my adult half says, "Hey, Jerry is kinda an asshole." Same thing with these guys. Still love it.
Oh, and I nearly forgot the Amazing World of Gumball. Didn't look good to me at first, but after watching it, I must say I really like it. It's just so...I can't really describe it. What I mean is, I kinda feel like these are hyperboles of situations I've been in at some point.
Move MAD to Adult Swim and we're talk. I'm cool with the show, but it could be so much more on Adult Swim.
And Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated is growing on me. They're slowly but surely weeding out all the things I hated about the show, mainly that weird, relationship crap they tried to institute. Just work on not making the villains so obvious, and how they do things (Seriously, sonic concussion device? Chemical Hormones? What?) and we're gold. I love the whole Mr.E subplot running through the entire series, and this scene:
HAHAHA! Scrappy was terrible...
Edit: You know, now that I think about, I'm not sure whether these shows are actually good or if my standards have just gotten lower...doesn't matter, got toons.

Generator Rex and Young Justice are both fine by me, though the schedules seem iffy as of late.
This looks like the thread to have someone pitch me ideas: why would anyone watch a full episode of Adventure Time? I sat through one of the half-episodes they do, and the plot was so flimsy that my 9-year-old cousin was having trouble holding an interest. The entire storyline was this one plot twist that would make Shyamalan groan.
It's it right up there with MLP:FiM on the list of shows that have no appeal to anyone I've ever asked. What am I missing?
I also watched Regular Show right after, and that kicks ass. I don't know what it's about, but during the episode I watched, this one scene went balls to the walls when the gumball machine guy went Super Sayian and nearly killed the protagonists. Neither show is very good, but Adventure Time is squarely in second place there.
This is why I stopped watching cartoons, I think.

Yes I can consider them awesome because I go out of my way to watch them.Volf99 said:
Toonami is the past, sure it was good but it was the past, if it means that much go watch toonami jetstream or join one of the causes to resurrect it.
But I need people to watch new shows or get fuckin offed by the network
Like
Flapjack
Chowder
Symbionic Titan(especially symbionic titan)
and I wish shows like 6teen and stoked had lasted longer in the U.S. but they didnt even bother.
Also they show looney tunes in the morning and I think midday if they mean that much to you and as much as I watched them as a kid they are so old and played out for me to even argue for them to be on tv anymore, they have the Looney Tunes Show now and its not that different.
but point is these new shows are good and you must overcome your nostalgia and point your anger at networks not even trying with varied and new animation(nick and disney).
Thundercats, cause I don't want to feel mainstream here. From the little I've seen of it, it is alright.
Haha, I fucking love that scene. Ed, Edd, n Eddy was glorious, practically my favorite cartoon. The movie rapped everything up so nicely.General BrEeZy said:
Though, I really hope people don't just come into this thread to post that. Wait, too late. I loved the classics too, but please don't just come here to post your distaste for the newer stuff. Now at least you were humorous about it, General. Other people are jus-nope, not gonna start anything.
Ah yes, I believe that episode was called Thick Positive. Well Mordecai and Rigby, the main protagonists, are what you'd call slackers. Relatively okay guys, but they aren't really good workers.sooperman said:
Now their boss Benson, the gumball machine guy, follow the rules, work hard kinda fellow, typically does what any boss does to slackers. Yells at them to get back to work or else they're fired, etc. However, this appears to be bothering another character, Pops, an older gentlemen who is technically Benson's boss. He tells Benson to stop yelling at Mordecai and Rigby and putting them down, or else he's fired, kinda putting Benson in a place he's never really been before.
Benson tries to explain how the protagonist need to be yelled at to get anything done, but Pops is kinda one of those naive, hands-out-lolipos kinda old guys. After a few failed attempts at calmly talking to the characters and handling his frustration, he bottles up all his anger for an entire day.
Which apparently causes Benson to reach some sorta critical mass of anger, where if he holds his anger in any longer, he's kinda gonna nuke the entire town. So, Pops quickly tells him that he needs to yell at Mordecai and Rigby, or he's fired. (though he probably doesn't mean this literally, only as a way to save Benson from himself) So, to stop himself from getting fired, he unloads all his anger and emotions on the protagonists.
So yeah, there's that. As for adventure Time...I'm kinda tired of trying to change a person's opinion. If I do, it's not like I actually get anything out of it, so I don't really care what you think. Believe what you want to believe.
Edit: Though, so I don't come of as lazy and trying to wiggle my way out of an explanation, I guess a lot of people enjoy it because...well, some people genuinely like the characters, find the adventures enjoyable, think the show is actually humorous, and a good chunk of the fanbase is out trying to piece together Adventure Time's whole backstory. Oh, and this:
I haven't watched traditional TV in ages... Netflix has totally taken it's place. I however, have been recording and watching Young Justice. I'm a bit surprised it's losing by such a large number... >>
Anyway, I picked Young Justice because from what I've seen it's an excellent cartoon that also reminds me of past excellent D.C. cartoons. It's no Batman or Teen Titans... but it's still pretty damn awesome.

Mmm... I... Regular Show kind of pushes this ahead of the old Cartoon Network.Amberella said:
