 I see the Swartz is strong with this list.

 

 Xanatos type of villans are my favorite. They are charming, charismatic, and intellgent. They are filled with positive aspects of humanity and that lends them to being truly frightening. There evil is more subtle, cloak and dagger, and thus harder to detect before it's to late. Also, you never have to worry about villan to decay all that much when you have them. They always get some form of victory on the heros, and that'S what keeps them powerful and threatening. I write many villans this way.

I've seen some of Steven Universe, looks pretty good. I actually do like Adventure Time, yes it's an odd show but it does have some depth, it's been said that if you keep watching it, it gets better and I do agree with that, but you can skip some episodes if you like. I can understand the hate for Teen Titans Go...BUT sadly this is now the only way you can get this incarnation of the team since in the DC Comic they no longer exist as they are. Ben 10 is still around, which I like, but I don't watch anymore since I don't watch a lot of TV. I will say this though, Uncle Grandpa looks like the stupidest f***ing thing I have ever seen, there is a line between weird and stupid but it went full stupid since second 1. I wouldn't call that the worst show CN has, no...ANYTHING Total Drama is WAY worse then anything else on their, it is SO DULL and boring...just HOW the hell has this series lasted this long!? That needs to die, like right now. I would actually defend Regular Show as I like that show as well, BUT the show itself feels more like something that should be on Adult Swim more then anything else due to it's college tone and oddness.

 

Considering we watched a lot of odd shows back in the 90's and during the 2000's it does make sense why current cartoons have been more odd and weird, it's this weird progression I suppose in cartoons that aren't more series based like SatAM, Gargoyles, or Ben 10.

I've started watching Steven Universe and it's steadily growing on me. I was rather tepid toward the first few episodes, which felt decent enough to warrant continuing, but only just. The show became much more enjoyable as it started fleshing out the relationships the core characters have with one another. Steven himself has proven quite surprising; rather than being an annoying nuisance as I first feared, he's quickly become a very well-realized child character; though lacking the raw charisma of, say, either of the Pines twins from Gravity Falls, he has a good-natured sincerity about him that's quite endearing, with much of his goofiness becoming understandable when viewed through the lens of his age.

 

By far my favorite aspect of the series, however, is Pearl. Though she has received a relatively small amount of development thus far, her elegant yet fastidious nature and drive to serve as a mother figure and positive influence toward Steven make for a potent combination, one that reminds me of both Sally and Rarity, two of my top four characters of all time. The last episode I watched was "Coach Steven"; Pearl was already my favorite of the group by that point, but her entirely unexpected yet wonderful song took her to another level entirely.

 

I really wish this show had twenty-two minute episodes; the eleven minute format feels like it's limiting it from reaching its potential.

[ILOVEVHS]

I believe Cartoon Network is forcing the 11 minute limit om shows, because Adventure Time has a similar problem that REALLY hinders the series.

I haven't watched very much, because no cable. But what I have seen is really good, so hopefully Cartoon Network adds it to Netflix.


On this discussion, I'd like to add that Cartoon Network has stopped airing reruns. Only new episodes. The series will still last a while, but people are trying to raise awareness and support the show a lot recently.
