The worst cartoon today for someone old will be the best cartoon tomorrow for someone young. 
The ones I normally hear the most complaints about I either thoroughly enjoy or recognize a competency at work that some shows I grew up around lacked. (I was born in '81.) Some shows today do strike me as pointless or dull, but I can usually identify their appeal. I do notice, though, there are less animated series these days which either 1) respect their audience or 2) offer lively (read: animated) content.
I can rattle off many shows I think are overrated, both past and present. And I could list a slew of shows which I think are less worthy of airtime than others which have been canceled. However, I cannot single out a worst animated series, so instead I'll name the one which has most recently angered me:
The Looney Tunes Show
Even ignoring the entirety of the franchise's history and taking this series as it's own independent entity, I find it unbearably boring and vacuous.

Johnny Test. Problem arises or they caused it. Break into lab. They save the day or just their own skin. Every... freaking.... episode (95%). *Shoots self in foot* Much better.
Try agai..... in fact your not allowed to work in television anymore. The great purge has begun!

Occasionally. Black bar censors of course, but its apparently enough to keep it from the States. The show is still hilarious. It's played for laughs anyways.The Austin said:
That's not on the AIR... or is it? *rubs chin but is too lazy to look for a TV listing somewhere in the world*RatRace123 said:
Now you know what IS the worst cartoon currently on the air? Family Guy.
The new Scooby Doo. I mean, I like the new graphical style and the ultra exagerated villain design, but tranfroming the uninteresting characters into even more uninteresting characters made it as bad as the 80's show and the movies. And yes, I actually watched the movies. And I still watch Scooby Doo... don't judge me >.>'
I'll pile on with the B&B love and say to those who gave it a miss give it a second look. They've got SO many amazing stories that could only be done in this setting. Meeting completely obscure villians from Batman's history? Batman facing his parent's killer? Batman facing a music based villian played by NPH? A retelling of the fall of Ted Kord (The Original Blue Beetle) that doesn't make you puke? Making Aquaman a fun character? It's all there, in the Brave & the Bold.ShotgunZombie said:The dude (whose name eludes me at the moment) is actually a pretty talented voice actor...rh1006 said:i thought he sounded familiar...ShotgunZombie said:Fun Fact the Joker in this Batman is Dexter's Dad from Dexter's Laboratory.rh1006 said:im gonna go off on a limb and say the one cartoon that is AMAZING
here it is
okay, worst? oh, geez, so many to pick. i would have to say that stupid gumball show. ugh. all those stupid modern slurs, use of the word crap like a noun (its a kids show, by the way.) it just disgusts me.look familiar? like the dark knight returns? its the references, the animation, everything that makes this the 2nd best batman cartoon EVER. 1st? obviously animated series.
I have a firm and unwavering hatred for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Having seen the Trilogy and the pretenders (episodes 1-3) there is absolutely no chance of drama whatsoever. I know that every main character, even a lot of the supporting characters, are going to survive so anytime they show Anakin in 'mortal peril' I know that he's going to escape. Plus, I loathe the new 'Star Wars' trilogy.
Fanboy and Chum-chum and Almost Naked Animals are both horrible shows due to idiotic jokes and eighth-assed puns (especially Poopintine from Fanboy and Chum-chum).
Johnny test gets an (dis)honorable mention because of the endlessly recycled plots, with only minor inconsequential changes (i.e. different villain or location), and recycled jokes.
I have to also mention Family Guy for its overuse of 'overly long gags', like several minutes of Conway Twitty or nearly Peter skating around repeating 'Starlight Express'. Though I haven't seen the show in months, so they may have moved away from that particular crime.

To be honest, almost everything if you exclude re-runs of old episodes/shows.
However, this will hopefully be fixed when The Legend of Korra is released.

WHAT THE HELL! D:Soviet Heavy said:
I am utterly speechless, where is Ringo Starr's VO?? Wow.
The worst cartoon to me is George the Cowardly Dog. I can't stand that utter shit. I wont even let my kids watch it. Oh I also hate Adventure Time, it's so stupid.
