Poll of the Day > NT vs CN: The Wild Thornberries vs Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So here's the situation, these respect networks of cartoons are gonna battle it out until only the best one(s) remain. So after each battle, one will be eliminated, and the other will keep battling until a show from the other side can beat it. The golden ages of Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon, who is gonna win?

Arrangement means basically nothing in this competition, but I sorted them by how universally popular/well liked I thought they were... The only controversial inclusion I think would be Samurai Jack. I know it wasn't really meant to be a "cartoon, cartoon" (honestly most of the ones on here aren't, there's a surprisingly diluted talent pool...anyway) It was marketed as such, or at least tried to be. I definitely remember it on cartoon, cartoon fridays and some sketches like the laundromat one, etc.

My opinion: I remember absolutely hating the wild thornberries with an extreme passion, there was just something about it that I found completely off-putting. I couldn't stand it in the slightest (maybe it was the horrifically ugly characters, annoying voices, or attempted educational background). I remember once waiting in the doctor's office and it was playing and I actually picked up a magazine and read it as opposed to watching it.

Whatever happened to whatever happened to robot jones? I didn't watch much of Robot Jones, although I do remember a few things, the robot, the girl with the braces, and there was an episode with growing taller for gym class? I did like the art style I think, but I'm pretty sure cartoon network just tried to sweep it under the rug after it failed to do much of anything.

up 1/3

Hmm, you're doing this in kinda an interesting way

I bet the Thornberries stick with it until Time Squad goes up to bat... or maybe even until Codename: Kids Next Door.
---

It's actually spelled "Thornberrys", you scrub.
---

Last up, seems like a blowout regardless. Cartoon Network hopefully just has a ton of fodder before it gets to its powerhouses.
---

Never really tried Robot Jones. Loved Wild Thornberrys though.

I hated both those cartoons tbh
