CN's 20th anniversary: their top 10 shows - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Ccook50 · 10-09-2012, 08:37 AM

The top 10 Cartoon Network shows, as per the editors of Entertainment Weekly:

1. The Powerpuff Girls
2. Adventure Time With Finn & Jake
3. Samurai Jack
4. Dexter's Laboratory
5. Courage the Cowardly Dog
6. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
7. Regular Show
8. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
9. The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy
10. Chowder

Their words on Foster's: "Much of the fun of Foster's comes from its catchy magical-realist setting: an orphanage built for Imaginary Friends whose children have outgrown them. But Foster's real pleasure come from how effectively it balanced an outrageous goofball sensibility with characters you genuinely learned to care about."

Pretty nice summary for Foster's. The last part is spot-on, too, considering how passionately we debated about and defended these characters.

Definitely spot on. I thought all magic was gone regarding toons, until Foster's came along.

Its good that CN still takes old cartoons into account. Its cute to see some of the Foster's characters in the commercials for their anniversary party.

My brother begged me to watch one of CN's current cartoons. It was so bland. No creativity in the artwork and lifeless dialogue.
