Dexter's Lab
Powerpuff Girls
Ben 10
Adventure Time

We're all fossils here, so I'm not surprised there's almost no mention of more modern shows. PPG and Adventure Time should require no explanation. Picks like Johnny Bravo feel completely redundant to me.

The mid-2000s should get something in there, and Ben 10 fits the bill pretty well to me, with 5 consecutive shows of great success and huge sales in general. Quick Google search claims it's one of CN's best-selling shows (if not the highest grossing) and was hugely responsible for keeping the network afloat during that time period. $6 billion in retail sales is enormous.

And as odious as I find it, TTG should probably get a place here. Possibly the network's biggest show in the last like, 10 years? But I couldn't justify snubbing either Dexter's Lab or PPG, and I think people here are underestimating Ben 10 in general. So whatever, I'll keep it off the list. I don't think it will be all that fondly remembered tbh - more of a passing phenomenon, mayhaps, even if very representative of the current era of over the top fast-paced cartoons. Maybe something more critically acclaimed and universally beloved will stand the test of time for this era better.
