Top Ten Cartoons That Never Should've Been Cancelled

The Top Ten
1 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.

About five years old I asked my mom and dad to turn on Courage the Cowardly Dog because it was my favorite show and then when they turned it on there was no episodes and I cried because that was my favorite show ever when I grew up I wanted to buy this show but I didn't probably because I was too busy but I'm planning on doing it because this was by far my favorite show as a little kid

I'm so sorry because they cancelled courage the cowardly dog! Courage is one of dozens of cartoons that I grew up, like dexter's lab, the powerpuff girls, lazlo camp, tom and jerry, edd edd and eddy... I just love them so much, and I really wish to come back at T.V... it's not so fun watching them online:(

It didn't really get cancelled, it's just that John R. Dilworth had signed a contract for 4 seasons with 13 episodes each. And so that's what he did, fulfillment. Although I do think about Courage at least 5 times a week, yes I do want him back.

One of the best T.V. Shows, ever made on Cartoon Network I started watching this since I was little it was the best T.V. Show started in 1999 until 2002 still this would be better than Caillou!

2 Invader Zim Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR.

Kids adored this show. Stupid triggered parents said this show was "too inappropriate" is just stupid. I get it that it costed too much, but if they stopped Spongebob, a very overrated show that needs a rest, this show could work. It had low ratings back then, but now it's one of the most highest rated shows on the network. And plus, I'm getting tired of watching the exact same 45 episodes on Hulu. Please bring it back.

MY FAVORTIE CARTOON! Dark humor is better then disgusting humor. Too bad it was canceled due to "bad influence" sure it's not all sunshiny and rainbows but it was good. And you call that bad influence? What sanjy and Craig while the people that watched in Invader Zim are going to be talking about aliens and some dark humor. The ones that watche breadwinners and sanjy and Craig are going to be talking about butts and locked up in a mental hospital

One of my favorite shows ever. A creative plotline, good episodes, and cancelled for reasons even the fandom appears to be confused on at times. Glad to say that the amazing show has been revived as a comic. Zim may be in the comic realms, but perhaps soon enough he'll find his way onto the big screen again.

The only shoe I believe was actually cancelled and also needed more of a chance, most of these had a good run and I am happy that they were put to rest instead of being pressured into dreadful plots with over exaggerated and awful characters of their former loveable characters. Sponge bob.

3 Dexter's Laboratory Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network, and the first of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The show is about a kid scientist named Dexter that has a sister named Dee Dee that keeps breaking into his lab.

This show brings tears to me when I think about it thats how amazing this show was. The animation was great, the plots were witty and funny and great voice acting. They just don't make cartoons like these anymore

As funny for adults as it was for kids.

Best cartoon ever in my childhood... I feel sorry for the children who watch dumb ass shows like doraemon etc... I still miss it... Bring it back

I don't think it was cancelled because the last time we watched it me and my bff watched while having a sleep over but right in the middle of an episode we fell asleep because it was nighttime when it came on lol.

4 Rugrats Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon.

When ever I think about this show I tear up, this is one of my favorite childhood shows. Please! Bring it back!

Great show! If it was still on then The Rugrats Movie 4 wouldn't just be a rumor, it would be a gurantee!

RUG RATS WAS CANCELLED THAT IS MY LIFE RIGHT THERE! WHY WOULD THEY CANCEL SUCH A GOOD SHOW? BRING IT BACK! Too bad we're stuck with stupid sponge bob.

Rugrats is way better and funnier than that boring all grown up

5 Danny Phantom Danny Phantom is an American animated series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. It was produced by Billionfold Studios and distributed in Canada by Nelvana, a Canadian animation company. The series follows a teenage boy who, after an accident with an unpredictable portal between the human world and the "Ghost Zone", becomes a human-ghost hybrid and takes on the task of saving his town (and the world) from subsequent ghost attacks using an evolving variety of supernatural powers. He is aided in his quest by his two best friends, and later, his older sister, who for most of the series' run are among the only people who know of his double life.

Danny Phantom had so much to this, so much potential to this ghostly world. I would have loved to see Danny developing new ghost abilities, and his complicated relationships with Vlad or Valerie sorting out. I especially waited for the Ultimate Enemy, where we would have seen legendary ghosts like Clockwork, and the rematch with Dark Danny. Listen up, Nickelodeon. If Danny Phantom returns like old times, the world will shake with happy screams at seeing our dearest Ghost Boy

Danny Phantom was a great show. In my opinion better then Spongebob, the failrly odd parents, AND many of the other nickelodeon shows combined! It is really underrated, and should be brought back!

"Show went on until I got older and more smarter, wish I could still see the adventures of a boy that turned his DNA into a ghost's"

How is this 7? It should be #1. Oh and did you know there was going to be a fourth season but they rushed it all into season 3:(. Also this is the best thing I've ever watched in my whole life and I've watched a lot of T.V. series. I sortve have a crush on Danny Fenton and Danny phantom.

6 Teen Titans Teen Titans is an American animated television series created by Glen Murakami, based on the DC Comics characters of the same name.

The worst part is that the ending was an open door to a 6th season. And did we get a season 6? NOPE! We got that abomination known as Teen Titans Go. BUT, we can still fight to get Teen Titans a 6th season, even if Teen Titans Go gets cancelled or not. Now who's with me?!?!

This show should never been cancelled. It has everything that a cartoon should have. Action, adventure, comedy, drama, romance, the full package. This is doubtless the greatest action Cartoon Network show ever.

This show got cancelled for the worst reason ever: girl audience. Yup, one of the greatest cartoons ever got cancelled because the audience had more girls than boys. Cartoon Network is just extremely sexist.

Bring it back. I know the CN has started airing the episodes again, but I think that all fans of TT will agree with me when I say the we need another couple seasons! I personally don't think TTG is that bad, but the original was SO MUCH BETTER!

7 Blue's Clues Blue's Clues is an American children's television series that premiered on Nickelodeon in 1996. Producers Angela Santomero, Todd Kessler, and Traci Paige Johnson combined concepts from child development and early-childhood education with innovative animation and production techniques that helped their ...read more.

My older sister had this on VHS tape and she would play it for me and my best friend now that my older sister moved to midland I thank my nana has it now it was a good show and they had no reason to cancel it

I hope one day Blue's Clues will be back on the air! I know they won't have the same actor playing as Steve, but at least it should be good.

Blue's Clues was canceled? Now way! That's like my entire childhood right there.

That' was my childhood there! And plus, I still miss Steve.

8 My Life as a Teenage Robot My Life as a Teenage Robot is an American animated science fantasy television series created by Rob Renzetti for Nickelodeon.

I'm somewhat surprised this isn't higher on the list. A lot of people, myself included of course, miss this show or just want it back. I'm still not even sure what the reason for cancellation was but I think it was just low score ratings because of violence? Sounds like a dumb reason to me since there's tons of other cartoons with equal amounts of violence. Anyway, this show is amazing with the 3 seasons it has, I just wish it came back...

As a child, I kinda just watched this show due to the interesting concept of a teenage robot, but I never fully appreciated it. Now watching it, I realize that for many reasons it (and Invader Zim) are much better than shows Nick kept around, like SpongeBob or Fairly Odd Parents

I love this show so much it is the only cartoon I watched as a kid and I came back to it now and realized it was cancelled.. Bring this back nick. Or at least support mlaatr rebooted... It will come in 2016 or 2017. To see a preview of it search up mlaatr rebooted on YouTube.

I loved this show. I have mixed feelings about when I see it now. I'm happy that I see it and the humor but I'm sad that it was cancelled and I'm angry that they replaced it with cartoons like sanjy and Craig and breadwinners

9 The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is an American computer animated television series created by John A. Davis. It is the first spin-off to the 2001 film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Mainly because I liked the crossovers with fairly odd parents and there won't be anymore now that this show is cancelled

Why IS Dexter's Lab First!? It's Jimmy Neutron That Should Be Most Missed!

Loved this show when I was younger. It should have lasted longer.

What a mistake by Nick for cancelling this classic.

10 Ed, Edd n Eddy Ed, Edd n Eddy is a Canadian-American animated comedy television series created by Danny Antonucci for Cartoon Network, and the sixth of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series revolves around three preteen boys: Ed, Edd "Double D," and Eddy—collectively known as "the Eds"—who live in a suburban ...read more.

I want this show to revive but there are lots of reason that this show will never come back. First, the animator was killed by the brainless police. Second, Eddy's voice actor has stopped voice acting and focus on his own job. Third, they made the film where everyone start liking the Ed's at the end. Fourth, the last season after the school season was supposed to be the end.

It's really sad to see this show fade.

Childhood memories shouldn't be forgotten or erased like they did with all these good cartoons. I promise you if they bring back all these childhood cartoons, every adult around the world would toon in just to remeber how good the cartoons were back then.

Reruns would be really nice, though it ended properly with a series finale that destroys the status quo, so I doubt a reboot would be needed.

It got a series finale movie, so it wasn't really canceled. Still, they need to show more reruns of it on Cartoon Network.

The Contenders
11 Tom & Jerry

TOM AND JERRY WAS CANCELLED? That is my life right there, I can't believe that people would cancel such a classic! The cat and mouse chase has been popularized because of Tom and Jerry. It's so funny!

Tom and Jerry is the best cartoon of all times! I used to watch it from the first days of my life, till the moment when I lose eyes!

This was the funniest show I ever seen. I use to laugh at it until I barfed my brains out!

It got bad when they crossed over with Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes

12 Young Justice Young Justice is an American animated television series developed by Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman for Cartoon Network.

I love Young Justice sooo much! My brother and I used to watch it all the time. After my brother and I finished the second season on Netflix we were really disappointed to find out that it was canceled. Please bring it back, cancel teen titans go cause all cartoon network is doing is making a mockery of the original teen titans cartoon.

Dark side appeared in the end of season 2 but I think the young justice team won't win against him because dark side is the feared being in the universe.

True that uncle grandpa has got to be the worst cartoon ever created bring back the good old toons not this crap of today

I will never understand why Johhnny Test and Uncle Grandpa are still there and this great cartoon was cancelled,HOW CARTOON NETDORK,HOW DDO YOU CHOOSE THAT CRAP INSTEAD OF THIS?

13 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.

Craig McCracken why you ruin Cartoon Network by leaving, why didn't you find a person to the a new episode creator I mean it could have been not as good the 2004 2009 episodes but there would still be a show people like, now we stuck with WBB because TAWOG is ending soon

I love this show, but it's 2017, and reboots of good stuff are bad these days. I don't want a good show to have a bad reboot ;-;. Like look at what happened to the PPG and the Teen Titans!

Such a great show, better than all other shows on here. That is saying something considering Jimmy Neutron and Dexter's were awesome shows.

Best show on Cartoon Network

14 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

42 is the meaning of life, and the place on the list that this show is currently at as I am typing this comment

It should've stayed for a few more seasons, but after that it'd probably at that point go through the same process SpongeBob did.

Oh well, win some lose some I guess.

15 Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold! is an American animated television series created by Craig Bartlett that aired on Nickelodeon from October 7, 1996 to June 8, 2004. The show centers on a fourth grader named Arnold, who lives with his grandparents in an inner-city boarding house.

Nickelodeon needs more of Hey Arnold and less of, whatever it is they're showing now.

Hey arnold was one of the best shows ever in nickolodeon

We need the Jungle Movie!

The Jungle Movie, please.

16 Rocket Power Rocket Power is an American animated television series. The series debuted on Nickelodeon on August 16, 1999. The series ended on July 30, 2004 after four seasons.

I don't think that this show deserves all the hate it gets. It's pretty good, and I can't do anything that they can. It's just a cartoon, and I'm not saying this because I like it.

Was crazy about this show when I was younger.

17 Daria

This show is funny, in a somewhat offensive to society way

18 Catscratch Catscratch is an American animated television series created by Doug TenNapel (also known for creating Earthworm Jim). It was aired on both Nickelodeon and Nicktoons on July 9, 2005 and ended February 10, 2007. It is an adaptation of TenNapel's graphic novel, Gear, which is also the name of the cats' monster truck. The series features music composed by longtime TenNapel collaborator, Terry Scott Taylor. Catscratch's first DVD appearance was on Nick Picks Vol. 3, which came out on February 7, 2006 (though the DVD contained only "Bringin' Down the Mouse").

Why did it have to be cancelled after only one season? It could have been Nickelodeon's version of We Bare Bears! Just goes to show you how bad Nickelodeon is at treating most of its shows. - ModernSpongeBobSucks

19 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 Mr. Warburton for Cartoon Network.

One of the greatest shows of all time to ever meet Cartoon Network!

Immature yet genius at the same time

This was an awesome show!

Clever

20 Planet Sheen Planet Sheen is an American CGI animated television series. It is a spinoff series in the Jimmy Neutron franchise, focusing on the show's comic relief, Sheen Estevez, as he gets stranded on another planet. The show was hated by critics and fans for not using any of the original cast (besides the obvious), making Sheen dumber and more annoying than he was in the old show, and for the CGI being worse. It was cancelled after one season.

It deserved to get cancelled, because that's what you get for making the comic relief the main character.

This show deserves to be cancelled. It sucks.

21 All Grown Up! All Grown Up! is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó for Nickelodeon. It is a spin-off of Rugrats, and takes place about ten years after the original series where the characters are now pre-teen to teenage.Tommy, Dil, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Kimi, Angelica, ...read more.
22 Max And Ruby Max & Ruby is a Canadian children's animated television series produced by Nelvana Limited based on the book series by Rosemary Wells.

It was a childhood favorite and I still love it at age 18. I've always loved the theme song, and Max is the sweetest thing ever, these jackasses need to stop disrespecting it!

Acually its not canselled they started a new season and their parents finally appear. I did like tthe old 2002-2004 version of max and ruby. The 2007-2012 version is meh. 2012-2015 version is bad. But check out season 6 2016-present

Max and Ruby has been renewed for another season. it is one of Nick's longest running shows.

I like this, I watch it on Netflix.

23 A Pup Named Scooby-Doo

I use to watch it every day now this days cartoons are boring no longer funny or adventures

I loved all the scooby doo shows

24 bro'Town
