14. Codename: Kids Next Door (2002-2008)
Codename: Kids Next Door actually won a contest in 2001 in which pilots for 10 cartoons were shown, viewers would vote on their favorite, and the winner would be made into a full series. KND was actually barely my third or fourth favorite of the bunch. I think Kitty Bobo or Swaroop would've made much more interesting series, but I'm not sure if they would have caught on well enough to last more than one or two seasons, whereas KND actually became pretty mainstream and went on to become one of Cartoon Network's longest-running original series ever, eclipsed I believe only by Dexter's Lab, Ed Edd n Eddy, and The Powerpuff Girls. So yeah, I kinda hold a grudge against it for beating out two potentially awesome shows. Fun fact - Billy and Mandy actually won this same contest the previous year. As for a show, I could never really get into KND. Probably because it came on right around the time I stopped watching Cartoon Cartoons and the humor was pretty juvenile, even for the intended age group. I will admit, however, that it could be fun at times, and there were more than a couple decent characters.
Best Character: Numbuh 5
The wise-ass of the group, Numbuh 5's cool and collected manner and suave, smart remarks helped make her the best character on the show, barely edging out the almost equally funny Numbuh 4.
Worst Character: Numbuh 2
As if you couldn't tell by the fact that he's big and fat, this guy was the punching-bag of the group and the least funny/interesting.
