Seems a lot of action animated shows from the 2000s never lasted more than three seasons

The season 1 intro is awesome. And man, what a nostalgia blast seeing it again. I think I remember liking the show when I was younger.



The 4th season felt so tacked on cause of it... Still decent, but, the show clearly had its run, only to be like "oh, nope, we're not done yet." Though, at least they made the rest good despite the show technically ending already.



What I find more surprising for me is that the only 2 I watched out of the list you posted were the ones I left in the quote above. I think some of it is cause I either didn't have Cartoon Network on the channel list when I was a kid, or I just didn't watch it. I seem to remember gravitating towards Teletoon and Family Channel more than YTV and Cartoon Network.
However, I do remember Courage the Cowardly Dog and Megas XLR, and both of those were fantastic, the latter especially. Megas still sticks with me today, and it may have been what spawned my love of mecha.
I also remember catching a couple episodes of Storm Hawks at my neighbour's place. Didn't think much of it back then, but looking at it now... Can I say how much I dig the aesthetic? It looks great. Maybe less the character animations, but I am super into the ship and world design.

Come to think of it, while this thread exists... Anyone remember Chaotic or Spider Riders?

I remember Chaotic. It was probably the only show other than Yu-Gi-Oh and Digimon Tamers that featured card games that I watched.

While somewhat noticable, the writers did a good job. More than I can say for some other animated shows from the 2000s.

That show was just great stuff full stop. I'm glad the writers didn't completely phone it in.

Chaotic I remember for being too generic for me. Plus, I already had Yu-Gi-Oh and Duel Masters. I know Chaotic had its own line of card games that last a little while, but I highly doubt you're going to find any players.

Generic sure, but for some reason Yu-Gi-Oh and other card games, and their shows shows, never stuck with me much. I think the system that Chaotic used appealed to me, since it was built strongly on having a good setup. While that is the case for any other card game, there was something to it with the whole equipping gear to your cards and building your combat strategy around only a few in play at once, rather than having a large deck of wildly varying monster cards with wildly varying effects that you have to hopefully draw at the right moment.

Spiders Riders I watched and tried to keep up, but had a been there and done that feel for me (Digimon and Medabots). In America, the airing of the show was cut short, but Canada got the full airing of the show. The fact that American networks kept shifting time slots and putting SR into dead slots did not help. I did find a place to watch the series online for free, but dropped off due to boredom.

I don't really remember much about it besides it being something to watch. Given my fear of spiders and bugs these days I'm surprised I actually managed to watch the thing. It'd probably make me deeply uncomfortable if I tried watching now. I'm surprised to hear America never got the full run.
One thing I distinctly remember with this show is that, after seeing scattered episodes over and over, I was going to wait till it started at episode 1, and then watch every episode on time till I got to the end. And I almost did too... till I gapped out and didn't watch the last 2 episodes.
I still don't know how that show ended

I couldn't get past the first four or five episodes. It shows that you know more about the show than I do or ever did.

I kind of looked it up on a wiki/skipped to the final few episodes, but it's been too long.

Totally Spies lasted about five seasons before that reboot show they're now doing. I could never get into that one, because of all the valley girls speak. Great animation and action, but I still preferred Kim Possible.
