History SmallReferencePools / WesternAnimation

* If Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} is mentioned, the show most likely referenced will be ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', and, if they're on the ball, ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron'', or ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. If a reference is made to a Creator/NickJr show, it will probably be ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'', its spinoff ''WesternAnimation/GoDiegoGo'', ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'', or ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''.

* With Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation, the only shows ever brought up by most people are ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''Franchise/DuckTales'' (usually [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 the original]] for older folks and [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 the reboot]] for younger ones), ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Disney Junior wise, your best bets are probably ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'', ''WesternAnimation/DocMcstuffins'', and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''. Maybe ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' if you only associate them as Disney series.

* With Australian cartoons, it’s '' WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' and pretty much nothing else.

* If it's a Canadian cartoon, it's either ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', or one of Creator/{{Nelvana}}'s [[PreschoolShow preschool shows]] like ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}'' or ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'' (with most completely ignoring the fact that Nelvana also makes shows for older kids, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'' or the aforementioned ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', and has even made cartoons for adults such as ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''); ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' might get mentioned too, and maybe ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' if you're really lucky. Ironically, the first two (and ''[=MLP:FIM=]'') are co-productions with the United States, and several other shows mentioned above are Canadian productions (like ''Caillou'' and ''PAW Patrol'') or also Canadian-American (like ''Arthur'' and ''Cyberchase''). Due to the infamy of ''Johnny Test'' though, these Small Reference Pools also typically assume [[MadeInCountryX all other Canadian animated shows have the same kind of low production/entertainment quality]] [[HitlerAteSugar the show's vocal hatedom views it as having]].

* Creator/PBSKids - ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'', ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'', and possibly ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' are their only cartoons that are still well-known to the general public, [[Series/ReadingRainbow as]] [[Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy their]] [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood live]]-[[Series/SesameStreet action]] [[Series/BarneyAndFriends programming]] come to mind more.

** To millennials, the series would be more associated with ''Film/SpaceJam'' than the original shorts.

** Hanna-Barbera series: The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo...That's pretty much it. Few will remember that Hanna-Barbera did ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', or live-action stuff like ''Film/KISSMeetsThePhantomOfThePark''.

''WesternAnimation/CouragetheCowardlyDog'',
''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'',
''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeforImaginaryFriends'',
''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresofBillyandMandy'',

* The only channels that air animated shows are Creator/CartoonNetwork, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, and Creator/DisneyChannel (as well as their respective spinoff channels, like Creator/AdultSwim or Creator/DisneyXD). Oh, and Creator/{{Fox}}, since ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' exist. Creator/TheHub might get mentioned too for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Every country only has international variants of these channels. Except Canada, which only has Creator/{{Teletoon}} and Creator/{{YTV}} (even though actual Canadian versions of their American counterparts have existed for over a decade there); Creator/FamilyChannel, Creator/{{CBC}} Kids, Creator/TreehouseTV? What are those?[[note]]And due to the abovementioned infamy of certain Canadian productions, don’t expect [[AmericansHateTingle any mention of the Canadian channels to be positive.]][[/note]]
