1. Out of Jimmy's Head (2007–2008)

TV-Y7 | 30 min | Animation, Comedy, Family

The misadventures of a young boy with the transplanted brain of a beloved cartoonist.

Stars: Dominic Janes, Jon Kent Ethridge, Rhea Lando, Matt Knudsen

This is, by far, the worst thing that Cartoon Network EVER made; For many reasons, but i'll get to that in a moment.

The story goes that Jimmy (the kid in the blue shirt) has an accident while visiting a cartoon-themed amusement park. He then gets a brain transplant with the deceased cartoonist that the park is based off of, and now can see the cartoons the man has created. Just think of it as having switched your brain out with Walt Disney's and being able to see Mickey and his gang walk around and talk to you in real life. It's...kind of *beep*

The reason this show is so bad isn't just because it's live-action. It's not just because the characters are living turds that breathe *beep* every time they come on screen. It's not just because it was a tie-in show to the movie they also produced before it. The reason this show is so bad, especially to me, is because it opened the flood gates to an on-slot of shows that would be coming in the next few years.

Let me set the stage. It the end of 2008. Your enjoying Ben 10 Alien Force, Flapjack, and The Secret Saturdays which all came out that year. Out of Jimmy's Ass has been canceled for a good couple of months now, and you've moved on from that atrocity. You couldn't be more excited to see what CN has up it's sleeve for 2009.

And then...it hits.

CN Real. Cartoon Network's attempt at making a live-action programming block. What the actual *beep*!

Beside the obvious that their name is CARTOON Network, no one really wanted this. We come to your station to escape live action shows! You think we haven' had enough of that with Disney and Nick? Granted, your shows aren't sitcoms, but that doesn't give you a pass. Especially since this is all we got for the entire year! No new cartoons for 2009.

The Dark Ages had been cast upon us. And all of us wanted to blame the new head of CN for this terrible thing he had given us...which to be fair, he does deserve. But the idea for live action programming had to come somewhere. Something had to happen before-hand that gave this man the idiotic idea to place this cloud of despair upon us. And there's only one show that came before all the others that I can point my finger too.

2. The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange (2012–2014)

TV-PG | 30 min | Animation, Action, Adventure

A television series of the popular YouTube series ''Annoying Orange''. Where Orange (Dane Boedigheimer) goes on an adventure with his friends. His weird friend Nerville (Toby Turner) ... See full summary »

Stars: Dane Boedigheimer, Toby Turner, Justine Ezarik, Bobby Jennings

Well, it's offical. People have literally run out of ideas and are just giving money away to anything they can find on the internet!

Before Youtube Red was thing, TV executives had the brilliant idea of taking internet based series and turning them into full fledge shows! And what's a better candidate then the channel where someone literally pastes their eye's and mouth on a fruit, and annoys the hell out of people! That sounds like a million dollar idea if I've ever heard one!

I-I just...I can't talk too much about it, because i'm trying to save my full rage, but just know...this show last for 2 years, with a total of 2 seasons and 60 episodes before it was canceled....think about that.

You're trying to escape from FRED who has taken over Nick, and here's this piece of *beep* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

3. The Problem Solverz (2011–2013)

TV-PG | 11 min | Animation, Comedy, Family

The bizarre adventures of a group of bumbling detectives.

Stars: Ben Jones, Kyle Kaplan, John DiMaggio, George Takei

Votes: 2,289

OH GOD!!! And I thought Uncle Grandpa had to many colors. At least with UG you could actually SEE the scenery.

The main problem with The Problem Solvers is that it has too many moving, colorful objects. You're trying to focus in on so many things at once that eventually your eyes start to hurt and brain begins to shut down. And with so many flashing images on one stage, I'm surprised no one suffered an epileptic seizure.

However, i'd be a hypocrite if I said that even I can admit to liking a few episodes from this show. Though, that more of a filthy pleasure then anything else. When I watch it, I still think it sucks. I'm just more interested in the ascetic of it. The rigging of the characters...plus I just want to see how long I can go before My eyes bleed. XD What can I say. I'm sort of a masochist when it comes to terrible *beep*

4. Chop Socky Chooks (2007–2008)

TV-Y7-FV | 11 min | Animation, Action, Comedy

Three kung fu fighting chickens battle the owner of their city-sized shopping mall.

Stars: Paterson Joseph, Shelley Longworth, Rupert Degas, Paul Kaye

Votes: 596

Let's be honest here: Who ACTUALLY remembers this show? I mean really. Who could go into the comment section right now, and tell me the plot of one episode of this show? Just one. I'm not looking for a detailed synopsis of everything that went on during the run-time. Just a simple, one sentenced summary of one episode of this series. I doubt a lot of you can. And you know what, that's okay! I mean, this show is actually very underwhelming...and weird.

The premise goes that three karate fighting chickens (that don't look like chickens) protect a giant mall/superstore from a sentient piece of wasabi and his army of monkey ninjas. Don't ask me how something like this even works, but apparently it was good enough to broadcast on the network.

You'd think something with that ridiculous of a premise would at least be entertaining, but it isn't. It's very underwhelming, and you never feel like the "heroes" are in any real danger.

5. Almost Naked Animals (2011–2013)

TV-Y7-FV | 22 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

The show follows the adventures of a group of animals that run a beach resort hotel.

Stars: Rob Tinkler, Howard Jerome, Dwayne Hill, Jamie Watson

Votes: 1,898

First off, WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE HAIR!?!?!?!?!?!!! Octopuses don't have hair! Duck-things don't have hair! They have feathers! FEATHERS DAMMIT! And why ALMOST naked? They're animals. They shouldn't care about having their junk open for all to see! You think when a male dog comes up to you and puts it butt in your face its worried that it's balls are getting to close too!? No!!!! NO IT DOES NOT!

Almost Naked Animals was one of those cartoons that came on during the day when every kid was away at school. It was blocked with other shows like Sidekicks and Scaredy Squirrel during the time of day that was Cartoon Network's equivalent of day-time television. Everything with this show just looks disgusting to me. The fact the characters have two oddly-sized eyes. They way they look like they were all shaved. The fact that they all have body types and figures of elderly people about to go to a nude beach! Just everything with this show looks wrong to me!

If your looking for substance and structure here, you've obviously come to the wrong place. And I suggest you turn back around and drive somewhere that doesn't have animals that look like they came out of nuclear fallout.

6. Uncle Grandpa (2010–2017)

TV-PG | 15 min | Animation, Comedy, Family

The misadventures of a magical uncle and grandpa to everyone in the world and his friends.

Stars: Peter Browngardt, Kevin Michael Richardson, Eric Bauza, Adam Devine

Votes: 7,175

I don't think I need to give a explanation of what this show is, but if I must...umm...you know how when you were a kid you use to get a pack of Smarties, make it into powder, and pretend to smoke it? Well, just imagine if you got high from it. And you were wearing kaleidoscopes for glasses...while staring at a circus show themed in rainbows. That's this show.

Actually, no. There's an easier way to explain this. THIS is just a more PC version of Secret Mountain Fort Awesome. You know, that other show this guy did that actually inspired Uncle Grandpa during it's run? Yeah, Uncle Grandpa is basically if Secret Mountain Fort Awesome got rid of all its gross-out humor, and replaced it with lots and lots of neon/rainbow colors. I mean, way more then what was already in SMFA to begin with.

This show sort of has the same problems as Teen Titans GO! It's just a bunch of hard-to-see colored characters doing stupid stuff for no reason other to eat up time (wow, how many old cartoon from my generation did I just sum up in that sentence XD). But also like Teen Titans GO! it wasn't meant for me. It was meant to capture the attention of a small child with a very short attention span. Everything that happens in this show is probably funny to younger viewers. Hell, in terms of light-hearted programming that you can just enjoy and not feel emotions afterwards, this is probably one the few shows on CN right now that kids can watch and not sob tears when it's over.

Honestly, Uncle Grandpa really isn't that terrible in comparison to the other things that im going to be discussing, which is interesting because it's usually number 2 or 3 when I look at other people's lists. (Take that for what it is; Good or Bad. I don't care.)
