Top 10 Cartoon Network Cartoons

Personally, I think Cartoon Network is the only kid's network that has not turned into a teenpop disney douchebag of a channel, also make some of the best shows, although you may think flintstones and tom and jerry are top, they are not originally from cartoon network. Enjoy!

1. Ed, Edd n Eddy

   

   Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Canadian-American animated comedy television series created by Danny Antonucci for Cartoon Network. It was the sixth original Cartoon Cartoon produced by the network. The show follows three preteen boys named Ed, Edd (also called "Double D"), and Eddy, who live in a suburban cul-de-sac... read more

   You can't den denh these 3 boys, the Ed's, are the kings of Cartoonetwork. The humor, sound effects, animation, everything! The show was ahead of its time do defirnly a landmark in animation. There's a reason why it's the longest CN show of all time and it's movie being the finale was an appropriate send off! After that film, is whenever CN died. Luckily we've gotten some good shows since like Regukat show, Gumball, and Adventure time, but none can create the effect these 3 kids from the culdesac brought to us.

   1999-2009

   This is my all-time favorite cartoon ever. I really miss the series because kids including me loved this cartoon and they barely show it anymore. It stars the Eds, three friends who scam the other kids of their money to get jawbreakers, but hardly any of them work. It is the longest running Cartoon Network based cartoon broadcasted.

2. The Powerpuff Girls

   

   The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated television series created by animator Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network. The main characters of the show are Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The story follows Professor Utonium, who accidentally creates three little superhero girls using a mixture of sugar... read more

   This is the most successful Cartoon Network show. And here is evidence that this is the most successful Cartoon Network show: This show had the highest rated premier, this was the first Cartoon Network show to have a movie in theatres! This is also the only Western cartoon to have its own actual anime, and many people wish their favorite cartoons had anime versions. Well guess what? You are lucky if you are PPG fan who wishes for an anime version of PPG because it has an actual real anime.

   1998-2005

   I admit it, I'm a boy but I still watch this show. The reason why it is number 2 on the list is because it is the show hat everyone knows about. It stars three superhuman girls formed in a laboratory fighting evil in townsville. I'm embarrassed to watch it but still, it is one of Cartoon Network's greatest.

3. Teen Titans

   

   Teen Titans is an American animated television series created by Glen Murakami, based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. It originally aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006 and later on Kids' WB. The series follows a team of young superheroes as they battle villains and navigate growing... read more

   Best cartoon I've ever seen. I've only just started watching it a couple of months ago but seriously why can't they just keep on playing it! All the characters are very funny but when Raven says her sarcastic lines or has a funny moment, the neighbours will be banging on the door! Teen Titans will never be forgotten. TITANS GO!

   This show is amazing, it deserves to at least be in the top 3! It was the perfect blend of action, comedy, and dark serious storylines that captured so many audiences of all ages and genders. And the characters are very memorable. When there's trouble you know who to call... Long live Teen Titans!

4. Adventure Time

   

   Adventure Time is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn, voiced by Jeremy Shada, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake, voiced by John DiMaggio. Jake is a dog with the magical power to change... read more

   Adventure Time, in my opinion, is the best cartoon in history! It has a lot of adventure, obviously, yet manages to still be quite funny! Also, the characters are so creative and no one else could've ever thought of them. These are the main characters:

   Finn- A very weird but righteous 15-year-old hero!

   Jake- A super funny ice cream and video game loving stretchy dog! (my favorite)

   Ice King- A lonely ol ice wizard who lives in a tower with lots of penguins

   BMO- A walking, talking video game system!

   Marceline-A rough but sweet vampire queen!

   Princess Bubblegum- A very kind and smart princess!

   Lumpy Space Princess-A crazy, talkative cloud-looking chick!

   Lady Rainicorn- A rainbow unicorn that only speaks Korean!

   I personally think this show should have number 1!

5. The Amazing World of Gumball

   

   The Amazing World of Gumball is a British, Irish, American, German, and Australian animated children's television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. The series was produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe. It features a unique mix of animation styles and follows the misadventures... read more

   LOVE IT And I agree it should be way higher no:5. CAN'T Get enough Of it

   If it was possible I could watch a 24 hour marathon without moving and would by a diaber so I could not go to the bathroom

   Amazing world of gumball is a magnificent cartoon that should definitely be number 1 I looove it... funniest show to ever air on Cartoon Network.

   This show rules! It is mixed up with clay animations and 3d graphics and 2d graphics, this needs to be higher

6. Ben 10

   

   Ben 10 is a media franchise created by Man of Action Studios and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The franchise revolves around a boy named Ben Tennyson who acquires a watch-like alien device called the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into ten different alien creatures. The series has expanded... read more

   2005-2008

   Great classic show for all ages. I just loved watching Ben transform into all kind of aliens, from Four Arms to XLR8 to Heatblast to beat up alien baddies when I was a little kid. It's just a fun show and has been a huge success for Cartoon Network as it is now in its 4th series after several video games, cartoon movies, and toy action figures.

   There used to be a time when I enjoyed this show for its comical characters and inventive transformations. Fight scenes don't age well but I prefer it over the "grown up" sequel.

7. Regular Show

   

   Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series follows the lives of two friends, Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a local park and often find themselves in surreal... read more

   The Person that put Sorry to losers who cannot understand awesome cartoons. Regular show is the best cartoon EVER. Every kid in South Africa LOVES it. Regular Show is Ok to me but it doesn't have enough action and it doesn't make us laugh like Ed Edd n Eddy or the Flintstones does. Not anyone loves Regular Show I'm Sorry. I'm a Big Fan of the Old School Cartoon Network because everybody loves the Old Cartoons Better. Some New Cartoons like Star vs the Forces of Evil, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven Universe are Good Cartoons but I Love the Old Better. I'm Old School. I know everybody have their opinion but I'm telling the Truth Sorry

8. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

   

   Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is an American animated television series created by Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network Studios. The show premiered in 2004 and concluded in 2009. It centers around a foster home for imaginary friends created by children, blending humor, heart, and unique animation... read more

9. Codename: Kids Next Door

   

   Codename: Kids Next Door (also known as Kids Next Door or by its acronym KND) is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton for Cartoon Network. The show premiered on December 6, 2002, and ran for six seasons until November 11, 2008. It follows a group of five 10-year-old children... read more

   Kids Next Door is one of Cartoon Networks most popular cartoons of the 2000's Generation! Even though the series ended in 2008, Cartoon Network knows us kids would never grow old of the show, and shows re-runs all the time! The plot of the show is so so so so so creative! A global kid-force who helps kids & rebels against adults all around the world who makes their kids eat broccoli for dinner, give too much homework, or make them go to bed early. I love how it meets kid's wants and needs, & how it's like an secret agent show! Kids Next Door is just like looking at an mirror. Kids Next Door... BATTLESTATIONS!

10. Courage the Cowardly Dog

    

    Courage the Cowardly Dog is an American animated horror comedy television series created by John R. Dilworth for Cartoon Network as part of the network's Cartoon Cartoons block. The show follows a timid pink dog named Courage who lives with an elderly couple in a farmhouse in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas... read more

    1999-2002

    A short series but was still an interesting show. Even though this show was meant for kids, it had very disturbing episodes. A dog gets adopted by an elderly couple and this dog is constantly saving them from horrifying monsters and situations. I love it and it was one of Cartoon Network's best.

    I heart it. I've only watched a few episodes as it ended a while after I saw it but it was wonderful all the same.

    For me courage is the best cartoon character ever!

    The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

    

    The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is an American animated television series created by Thurop Van Orman for Cartoon Network. It premiered in North America on June 5, 2008. The show features Van Orman as the voice of Flapjack, a naive young boy raised by a talking whale named Bubbie and mentored... read more

    I love this show so much. I love the settings and the characters and the dark sense of humor. It's a shame that it had such a short run

    Total Drama

    

    Total Drama is a Canadian animated comedy television series that serves as a homage and parody of the conventions commonly found in reality television. The series debuted with Total Drama Island in 2007 and has since spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs. The franchise is known for its satirical take... read more

    Total drama is the best cartoon ever in the history of cartoons! I know people would disagree but watch total drama and you will love it sooo much. If you do watch it heather is the best character ever and her boyfriend in the show is too. Watch total drama island and world tour first since they are the best seasons and let me know how you like the show. As mentioned total drama is the best cartoon ever!

The Contenders

13. Chowder

    

    Chowder is an American animated television series created by C. H. Greenblatt for Cartoon Network. The series centers on a young and eccentric apprentice named Chowder, who works under Chef Mung Daal in a whimsical catering company. The show features a unique blend of animation styles and quirky humor... read more

14. Dragon Ball Z

    

    Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It follows the adventures of Goku and the Z Warriors as they protect Earth from various villains. The series emphasizes themes of good versus evil and teaches values such as teamwork, loyalty, and perseverance.

    This is amazing show I saw ever in my 19 years life. This show was completely changed my life. IT makes me completely different and more responsible. This makes me quirious about the universe when I was only 7 years old. But now I am 18

    Dragonball Z beats horrible animes (afro samurai, boondocks inuyasha bleach) DBZ we need your help Tonami is in danger!

    This cartoon is legendary, epic and what so ever.

    This is my favorite and it just rocks.

15. Samurai Jack

    

    Samurai Jack is an American action-adventure chanbara animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series premiered on August 10, 2001, with a television movie titled The Premiere Movie, and it originally concluded with its fourth season on September 25, 2004, without completing... read more

    The secret of Samurai Jack is... the epic scope and the way that it's a better CN action show than Ben 10.

    I loved that program and it's in the top rank.

    #19? This show is badass and way better than most of the ones above it. (the only exceptions are Adventure Time, Regular Show, Dexter's Laboratory, and Steven Universe)

    Who the hell put this so low should go start cutting.

16. The Batman

    

17. Clarence

    

    Clarence is an American animated television series created by Skyler Page for Cartoon Network. The story centers on a cheerful and imaginative boy named Clarence and his two best friends, Jeff and Sumo, as they explore the world around them. Skyler Page, who previously worked as a storyboard artist for... read more

    I don't hate it, but I see why people do. I mostly enjoy it because I can relate to Clarence and it's a running joke I have with my friends

18. Dexter's Laboratory

    

    Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. It was the first series to be branded as one of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The show follows Dexter, a boy genius with a secret laboratory.... read more

    Should be ranked higher because it was the first series to be spun-off from What A Cartoon! and actually was extremely successful back then, becoming the most popular original Cartoon Network show of 1996 and 1997.

    1996-2003

    One of my favorite shows when I was little, it stars a little boy scientist with a humongous laboratory always getting into casualties mostly because of his big sister DeeDee. It also teaches you about sciency stuff too but in general, it is a really good show.

19. Steven Universe

    

    Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show centers around a young boy named Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.

    The fact that this is lower than Johnny Test is honestly sad. That show is an abomination. It needs to die. Steven Universe is a show that puts deep themes together with funny, entertaining character interactions. It has some of the best written child characters I have ever seen. It manages to develop the characters over time, entertain you with humor, do an occasional fight scene and leave you grasping for more. If only the show would stop going on hiatus...

    When I scrolled down to the bottom of this list today and found Steven universe at the bottom - I almost cried not only because of sadness but because of rage. I know that this is still a personal opinion and please don't take this too seriously, but people just can't recognize a masterpiece when they see one.

20. We Bare Bears

    

    We Bare Bears is an animated comedy series created by Daniel Chong. It features three bear siblings named Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear, who is a polar bear. As cubs, they hoped to be adopted by separate families, but they ultimately reunited after missing each other.... read more

    My best we bare bears is the one that is ware grizzly is fat. HE'S SO FAT!

    What I like about panda is that he is so CUTE!

    They were all so cute, with different personalities. These are the things that make the show awesome!

    Gumball and We Bare Bears are my favourite shows on Cartoon Network!

    This show is the best!

21. Justice League

    

    Justice League is an American animated superhero television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It originally aired on Cartoon Network from November 17, 2001, to May 29, 2004. The show ran for two seasons and 52 episodes, featuring characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash... read more

22. Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003)

    

23. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

    

    The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (also known simply as Billy & Mandy) is an American animated television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. It is considered the 14th of the network's Cartoon Cartoons when it was part of Grim & Evil, though it is often regarded as separate from that... read more

    2003-2007

    The show with a highly odd plot lands this show on number 10. After losing a bet to an idiotic boy and a depressing angry little girl, The Grim Reaper has to be their best friend forever. Always being in weird situations in each episode it was always a great cartoon to watch.

    This deserves to be number 1 on this list. The best cartoon ever created

    A well done cartoon. Interesting.

24. The Land Before Time (TV Series)

    

25. Total Drama Island

    

    Total Drama Island is a Canadian animated television series that premiered in Canada on Teletoon on July 8, 2007, and in the United States on June 5, 2008. It parodies reality television shows by placing animated teenage characters in exaggerated survival challenges. The series was the first installment... read more

    Surprised that this is lower becuz Total Drama was actually very successful. When TDI was first released on Cartoon Network in the US, it became popular and developed a massive fan base.

    The Best TV Show I have ever seen, Cartoon or not. I actually like it more than its ancestor: Survivor. All the characters are likable in their own ways, especially Owen, Courtney, LeShawna, Gwen, and Duncan. It uses stupid fart jokes, but it's done well. The confessionals are so cool, Episodes 10-13 are the Best streak of Episodes in any TV show. Heather's rivalries are fun to watch, they have a share of jokes that make me laugh a lot, and I heard they're making a movie about this show! I can't wait!

26. The Simpsons

    

    The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening. It originally aired as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show starting April 19, 1987, and debuted as a standalone series on December 17, 1989.

    As of 2026, it remains the longest-running animated sitcom. The show follows Homer Simpson... read more

    You gotta be kidding. No, seriously. It isn't in the top ten? If only for it's hilariousness it should be in the top four. And you must admit it has parts in it that may well be something you encounter in life. This should be in the top four best cartoons.

27. Johnny Test

    

    Johnny Test is an American-Canadian animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation for its first season and by Cookie Jar Entertainment and DHX Media for the remainder of its original run. It aired from September 17, 2005, to December 25, 2014, on Kids' WB and Cartoon Network in the United... read more

    Say Pee Pee instead of Penis Please. Penis is a Stupid Word say Pee Pee instead Please. Thank You. Yeah all 3 of you were right about Johnny Test that cartoon needs to be killed. What a Dexter's Laboratory Ripoff

    We will never like you Johnny Test! Kill him! What a cruddy cartoon! So stupid! I hate this show! Never watch, no matter what! Why is this so high? Kill it! Lower this, please!...MeoMeo

    How is this show in the top 5, let alone the top 50? It's such a lazily written show and it's ranked over the show it directly ripped off, Dexter's Lab. SMH
