- CreatorC.H. GreenblattStarsNicky JonesDwight SchultzJohn DiMaggioIn Marzipan City, excitable young food-loving Chowder is the apprentice of Mung Daal, a very old chef who runs a catering company with his wife Truffles and assistant Shnitzel.Nothing short of a masterpiece! The show is insanely creative, weirdly hillarious, and builds a bizarrely interesting world. Very self-aware and smart humour (meta before it was cool). It is a Spongebob clone when it comes to characters, but in execution it's very unique. It's in my top 10 favourite cartoons of all time.
- CreatorGenndy TartakovskyStarsPhil LaMarrMakoKevin Michael RichardsonA samurai, sent through time, fights to return home and save the world.Almost a masterpiece!

- CreatorScott FellowsKate BoutilierEryk CasemiroStarsJames Arnold TaylorMaryke HendrikseIan James CorlettThe adventures of average suburban boy Johnny Test, who wittingly plays test subject for his genius twin sisters' various experiments, reluctantly fighting evil villains in the process.A lot of people don't like this one, but I loved it as a kid and was surprized to find out the hate for it online. It was very imaginative and interesting early on, but got more repetative and obnoxious further on. It's not a mediocre show - it's a good show that suffered a bad case of seasonal rot.

- CreatorJoe CaseyJoe KellyDuncan RouleauStarsYuri LowenthalDee Bradley BakerAshley JohnsonFifteen-year-old Ben Tennyson must utilize the Omnitrix yet again in order to locate his missing Grandpa Max, accompanied by his cousin Gwen and former enemy Kevin 11.This is where the shows start to get less good and more and more meh.

- CreatorDavid SlackBob HaneyBruno PremianiStarsHynden WalchGreg CipesScott MenvilleA team of five teenaged superheroes save the world from many villains around their city while experiencing things normal teens face today.Many people like this show, but I cannot get myself to like it. It's not that good.....at all. It's Young Justice, but a billion times worse.

- StarsMatthew GéczyBarbara ScaffMirabelle KirklandThe series features Eliot, the little kid with an overactive imagination that turns the most commonplace situations into Hollywood action-adventure blockbusters, along with his two friends, Kaytoo and Mimi.This is the turing point - this is where the shows stop being mediocre and bland and become insultingly awful.

Naturally, some conflicts will ensue.I thought I hallucinated this show, but it turns out it's a vague memory from when I was 4. It's awful, though.
