I especially love how the majority of its humor seemed to be based around wordplay—the writers of that show were incredibly clever. I feel like this show, more than any other, was the biggest influence on my sense of humor, and I'm sad to see how hard it is to find to watch these days.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I remember enjoying what of Sheep In The Big City I saw, but that was right around when I graduated from college, and I was a bit too busy getting my life set up to sit down and watch. Is it one of the shows that CN has put wholesale on Netflix? I can marathon that pretty easily.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.Don't believe it is. Wish they would put it up there. I wanna be able to watch it again without poking around seedy sites.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Seeing the initial list the answer is definitely no.
Clarence and Adventure Time are certainly up there with the best the network has ever run. I keep meaning to watch more of Steven Universe, too. Regular Show is second string but still quite solid
The City Era was better, yes, but the network is certainly in a good place right now.
I love Clarence. I was actually convinced that I would hate the show, but I was surprised. It reminds me a lot of Recess actually, in that lot of it's humor is showing all the thins we treated as Serious Business when we were kids.
@Wehrmacht: When Sheep was running, I knew General Specific and Private Public were oxymorons but didn't know the word for it... had I but known that the corporation with the fake ads had just the word I was looking for as its name.
I really liked Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? when he had a Synthetic Voice Actor. Changing it to a real one sort of lost some of the charm.
On topic, I can't really say since I don't watch Cartoon Network a whole lot, but I did really like both Foster's and Lazlo.
As much as I love a lot of the City era (its the era I grew up with besides the cartoon cartoon one),I feel that this current era is just as good(if not better in some cases) the City era.I still have love for a lot of the old mid 2000s shows,but I'm not one of those guys who adore the old and hate all things new.
However I still wish they did those City bumpers(or any kind of bumpers with the characters interacting).Besides Hall of Game's ads,movie bumpers(which usually have the characters only interacting with characters from their shows and not others),and the aniversery bumper(and I guess Fusion Fall since that was after the City era),they never do that stuff anymore.Loved the entire concept of the cartoon characters in all living in this big city(as well as the city's design itself).
My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013Um, yes. The shows from that time period were okay at their best and terrible at their worst. I can't think of an original cartoon airing on the channel right now that I dislike.
Adventure Time, I've always loved.
Regular Show, has had it's better days but isn't bad.
The Amazing World of Gumball, it has so many great episodes and jokes that it's few mediocre episodes can be easily forgiven.
Steven Universe, I really like but I can't deal with the long timeframe between episodes - I'm going to rewatch season 1 when it's finished.
Clarence, it's one of the most brilliant shows I've watched in years. I can't explain it, it's just fantastic.
Uncle Grandpa, well, it has it's moments. People really need to give it a chance, there's a lot of amusing surreal humor in there.
And if you want to go back a bit before the current times, the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack was one of the best cartoons ever made and Chowder was pretty good too.
I barely remember Sheep In The Big City, but I seriously must see it again.
