SpongeBob is a brilliant kids cartoon, I still watch sometimes. Its for all ages and it always has a unique storyline. I have never watched any of the other cartoons on this list.

This show is my childhood. The characters are so likeable, the story is so interesting, and it became a huge success all over the world. Easily the best kids cartoon.

Spongebob had taken number 1 title in two lists of thetoptens...which mean there a lot of fans out there

OnlySeasons 1-3. episodes like Face Freeze! and The Splinter wouldn't really make a 6 year old smile.

2 The Amazing World of Gumball The Amazing World of Gumball is a British-Australian-German-American-Irish children's animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network.

The art style is extremely unique!

This show is amazing!

3 Gravity Falls Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation that first aired on Disney Channel, and then on Disney XD from June 15, 2012 to February 15, 2016.

This show is amazing, and there is something for everyone. For your nerdy brother, there's codes, mysteries, and ciphers to crack. For your weird younger sister who only watches SpongeBob all day, there's Mabel's weirdness, and jokes littered through the show. For your own self, who loves feels and emotions, there's sibling relationships and heartbreak. For your mom, there's mottos every person could learn from. And finally, for your dad, there is storylines and plotlines to push the show to an amazing conclusion. There truely is something for everyone.

Gravity Falls, in definition, is amazing. It has a huge mystery element, while keeping the bonding between the main characters, Dipper and Mabel, with their Grunkle Stan. The show has evolved so much. The plot is amazing. You'll love the main characters.

This is one the greatest cartoons of today. It is simply astounding and should be above Phineas and Ferb

It feels like an actual Disney movie rather than a cartoon. Id reccomend it to anyone over 9 that likes Disney movies

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)—a dog with the magical power to change shape ...read more.

BOSS BOSS BOSS adventure time go grab your friends and we can go to very distant land with jake the dog and finn the human the fun will never end its adventure time!

Why Did Nickelodeon Reject this show for Fanboy and Chum Chum I never understood that

My heart sparkles only for my cuddly marceline

Why is this so low? It's easily in the top 5, if not 10.

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

Steven Universe is about a boy named Steven, and he is a crystal gem. He fights alongside Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. The show is very emotional. There are some secrets about the characters that weren't introduced the first time they were on screen. Of course, the first couple of episodes, were okay. The animation team was getting used to drawing the characters, and Steven's voice was different. In the beginning, SU was supposed to be a silly show, with almost no plot. Rebecca Sugar, the creator of SU, has changed that. It is now plotheavy and the storyline is amazing, not to mention the amazing art put in to the backgrounds.

Why hasn't this show gotten more votes

6 Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese martial arts, known as "bending". This show is often seen as one of the greatest cartoons of all time and is commonly thought to be an anime.

Avatar the last Airbender is awesome! Its deep, emotional, and um fjasiluthliuhyiuht! Again, its awesome! Its underrated as a kid's show though. Its hard when you share a channel with a stupid sponge creature.

This show is much better for adults in my opinion. Probably why it's at number 10. No hate though. I love all the other shows above also. Just not as much as Avatar :D

7 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.

Hey Arnold! Is truly one of the greatest animated shows of all time as it correlates morals, hilarity, and kindness in a way that is not seen on shows today.

Has wholesome moral values and serious stories, something many modern shows lack

8 Baby Looney Tunes Baby Looney Tunes is an American animated television series taking place in an alternate universe depicting the Looney Tunes characters as toddler and preschool versions of themselves. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation.

The show follows a superhero group called the Teen Titans, and shows what happens when they go home and have silly adventures. This show is Cartoon Network's revival of the popular 2003-2006 American animated television ...read more.

The original version was a lot better then this. I mean,the teen titans are flirting sometimes and it's innaproprate because kids as young as 4 watch this. And raven is the only one that is good. So I would say, TEEN TITANS NO! -ziggy

That was unacceptable.

12 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.

Not only is this show jam packed humor dark humor, but it also has an engaging plot and well done episodes. The characters are ingenious, and the comedy spreads to all ages. Oh, and Dib is the best. Fight me.

This show is so weird... it's very captivating. I remember watching this show, and it definitely deserves third, if not, second.

Took a bold step by being dark, cynical, and violent

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.

18 Looney Tunes Looney Tunes is an American animated series of comedy short films produced by Warner Bros. from 1930 to 1969 during the golden age of American animation, alongside its sister series Merrie Melodies.

Whoever said the new cartoons are better should stop watching cartoons. And that awful show Ed, Edd, n Eddy is apparently better than Looney Tunes? Give me a break.

I prefer the newer looney tunes show. Its more epic than the old cartoons.

A timeless classic of American animation

19 Ren & Stimpy The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.

Ren and stimpy is not for kids its really innapproapriate for kids it has lots of sexual innuondoe and graphic vilonce like bleeding intestines bleeding eyeballs and kidneys all being thrown up into the air and bob camp a person who worked on ren and stimpy said we are not aiming the stuff at little kids although kids do love it so kids just loved it it was never meant for kids

20 Anne of Green Gables: The Animated Series
21 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.

Courage the cowerdly dog is my favorite Cartoon besides:
The Scooby Doo Franchise

Why is Cow and Chicken higher up than Courage?

Who doesn't love horror comedy

Isn't high enough! Shows like DragonBall Z and Steven Universe beat this. This should at least be number 3!

One of the best shows of all time, so simple yet so good

This is a exiting programe you never know what is coming next

My personal number 1
