Sort of off topic, I never thought I'd say this but I fell in love with Regular Show. I was one of the ones saying it had to be awful but a buddy begged me to watch it and about 3 episodes in I didn't want to stop. Not bad at all.

Have you seen Nick as of late? All of those animated shows are awful in my opinion

Fairly Odd Parents still going, again my opinion gone down hill so far it's past that mark, same for that money making Sponge. Nick needs to know it's limits on shows and learn to give shows a second chance, I don't think even that sponge had high ratings at the start, did it? I heard good reviews on Sanjay and Craig, I tried it but man the animation is a major turn off and I'll be honest it reminded me of a lamer version of Home movies from Adult swim on Cartoon Network

The rest are spin offs from these films, I'd enjoy the Kung - Fu panda series if it had actual plot and major villains like the films do and Po never learns his lessons

Monsters V.S Aliens maybe??? Nick never gave it a chance though like it did with those other spin offs, what a shame

The only good ones are Legend of Korra and Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles. Even than Legend of Korra is a major step down from the original series, you can't tell the crew is a team and not to mention that love triangle from Hell which by the way makes no sense, who fights over a cheating jerk like Mako? Only in a world like Legend of Korra, places where man cheating jerks get away with things is treated like royalty, mean while nice guy's like Bolin get jack. Makes you wonder what kind of a life those Legend of Korra writers had.

While Disney and Cartoon Network have shows that are some times horrible, has more shows with some good quality than Nick right now

Fish Hooks of the newer shows that I can't stand, I don't even understand how it got three seasons

Finally, a cartoon that's more based on the real world.

It really irritated me. Not sure what I would have thought of it back in the '90s. I might have watched it, but not now. Still not as bad as ed grimly imo. Don't think I've seen anything that could top that for sucking.

Funnily enough, I've been thinking of sitting down and watching this. Now I'm convinced.

I'm really looking forward to 'Rick and Morty', Dan Harmon (arrested development, community) is a producer and trailer looks great:

Can we list individual episodes of shows? After all, some of the best cartoons aren't without their duds :

"Everybody Knows it's Bendy": Probably the most hated episode of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends because of how mean sprited it is.

"Seashore Seashell Party": Family Guy is the adult equivalent of Spongebob, it started out decent, but became less funny and more mean spirited as it continued. This episode's disturbing visuals and terrible moral are a prime example as to why.

I actually really liked that Family Guy episode. It actually reminded me of most families I know, behind the pretensions and lies. Underneath it all, most people really don't like who they're related to, and that's a sad fact most people don't care to admit because it goes against what the media tells us. But in truth, behind closed doors a lot of families are more like the Griffins than the Cosbys. That's part of what I always liked (and still like) about Family Guy; it's very real, albeit embellished quite a bit to make a point. I like it way better than South Park, the next-closest show it can be reasonably compared to. I do still like South Park, but it's been annoyingly pretentious for about ten years now and isn't half as smart or entertaining as it pretends to be.

I know people say a lot of the same things about Family Guy, but I honestly feel South Park is a worse offender. They too often go from satirizing to flat-out attacking people and trends that they don't like in a way that isn't at all subtle. And Trey and Matt swear they're "better" than Family Guy because their show ostensibly has a "message" every episode, but really, most times it's just preachy and snarky. "This week's 'message': Goths and Emos are all just lame whiny posers and we kind of wish they'd all just die!" That's less of a message than an attack, really. At least with Family Guy it's said with a wink. Even at it's harshest it doesn't seem like they're really trying to hurt anybody. I'unno.

I couldn't get past the moral that Abuse victims should stay in In an abusive relationship for the abusers benefit. Also, I agree with the South Park thing.

I don't really agree with that, either, but lots of families are exactly like that. And society tells us, "You can pick your friends but you can't pick your family, so even if you don't get along you sort of have to tolerate and put up with it, because family is the most important thing in the world." I kind of read it as, the episode was in a way exposing just how transparent and toxic that kind of thinking really is.

Full disclosure: I think the "institution" of family is a crock of greeting card-selling bullsh*t and most people are right to want nothing to do with their blood relatives once they're 18 and no longer morally bound to see them at holidays. Again, it's because in real life most people treat each other pretty lousy, family or no, and when they're your relatives you usually can't just punch them out or just choose to never see them. And I know I'm not the only one; every year, so many people I work with tell me how they dread the holidays because it's always some kind of huge fight over nonsense, which is why I stopped spending time with my own family at holidays and otherwise. People pretending to like each other when they really don't, when their only connection (bloodline) is purely accidental, just so they can get together once every few months and exchange gifts and passive-aggressive comments about money and clothing is ludicrous and damaging, and I honestly think that's kind of what Family Guy was getting at in that episode, the hypocrisy of it all, the amount of soul-crushing abuse and torment people are encouraged and willing to endure, all in the name of "family". I don't think they were saying it's OK, specifically.

One thing I like about Family Guy is that they don't always take a "right/wrong" stance on things; they just present things as they are, the way real people say and do things, and say "Well, objectively... everything's pretty f*cked up, isn't it?" and leave it to the viewer to decide how they feel about it. Meanwhile, South Park kind of tells people that "If you think this way or that way, you're an asshole, because we don't agree with you and we have a forum and you don't."

It was a pretty dark FG episode, though. I just don't think it was among the worst. They've done way better and way worse. I simply can't hate any episode with a line like "Lesbians and deaf people wear the same clothes."

Foodfight a.k.a. Product Placement : The Movie. Where do I begin, Terrible voice acting, hideous character designs, nonsensical writing, and animation that's so bad, it makes Video Brinquedo look like Pixar.

As shows go:

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is an ugly, hateful show that tries WAY too hard to be Ren and Stimpy. What the creators seem to have forgotten is that Ren and Stimpy died for a reason.

Allen Gregory- What where they thinking? This is a show where literally EVERYTHING is horrible. The animation is horrible, the designs are worse, the characters are unlikable, but the worst part is that it wants us to SYMPATHIZE with these unlikable people. The only good thing about Allen Gregory is that it was cancelled after 7 episodes.
