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. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, while on summer vacation. Gravity Falls is without a doubt my favorite show on Disney Channel, live action or cartoon. Not just my favorite Disney Channel show but also one of my favorite cartoons of all time which is why its #1 on this list. Gravity Falls is a show that came out of no where and became beloved the instant the first episode came out. I really like the characters. Dipper, an introverted guy who wants to discover life's secrets. Mabel, an extroverted girl who mostly is in a positive mood. Bill, an evil psychopath. Stan, a very interesting anti-hero who grew to become a true hero, he may be funny and selfish but you know he truly loves his family. And there's so many more characters (Wendy, Soos, Pacifica, Waddles, Ford, Candy, Grenda, etc.) that it would take forever to explain all of them in detail. Also the plot is so creative and it's a mix of so many genres: fantasy, supernatural, mystery, sci-fi, etc. I understand that this show may not be for everyone but it's aimed at all ages and if ...more
Everyone think gumball is easily better than this show, this is my favorite Disney channel show of all time.

We're going to very distant lands with Jake the Dog and Finn the Human, the fun will never end with Adventure Time! " Wow, that's catchy, anyways, this show is awesome! Sure, it's sort of overrated but it's still awesome! My favorite characters are Marceline, Finn, and Jake of course. This show is very creative.

Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. This is my favorite Cartoon Network show! I like this show because it's literally just the opposite of the title, it's a fun show to watch that all audiences can enjoy because there is hidden adult humor at times, and let's not forget that this and Adventure Time saved Cartoon Network in 2010 because 2009 was a bad year for them (in fact, it was a horrible year for them), CN Real started, Ed, Edd n Eddy and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends ended but 2010 was one of their best years along with 1999. One of the main reasons I like the show is because of the characters, they just are all typical people working at the park besides all the mystical things that happen, and this show had an epic finale too! I think everyone knows what happens at the end but there's always that one person reading this that doesn't know so I won't say it.
This show is awesome it is 90 percent action 70 percent dude time 30 percent benson yelling 50 percent memorable and 100 precent rigby!

Under the unofficial leadership of Eddy, the trio frequently invent schemes to make money from their peers to purchase their favorite confectionery, jawbreakers. Their plans usually fail, leaving them in various, often humiliating, predicaments. Adult cartoonist Antonucci was dared to create a children's cartoon; while designing a commercial, he ...read more. Ed, Edd n Eddy, Cartoon Network's longest running and most beloved show. This is my second favorite show from Cartoon Network, it lasted a good 10 years and had a great finale. The reason I really love this show is mainly because of the characters, if the characters were different, the show would be really different, they're a perfect trio. Ed is the dumb and lovable one, Edd "Double D" is the smart and nerdy one (not in a bad way), and Eddy is the greedy leader who comes up with the scams. This show is very funny.

This is show is very famous now.
Teen Titans is an American animated television series created by Glen Murakami, based on the DC Comics characters of the same name. This was one of the Cartoon Network shows that had a dark tone to it. The characters are very interesting, lovable, and relatable. Slade is one of the best cartoon villains of all time as well as the best Cartoon Network villain along with Aku and the rest. This show was heavily story based just like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Batman: The Animated Series, I really love cartoons that have a story and characters that you feel attached to throughout the story. And honestly, this the best animated superhero T.V. show along with Batman: The Animated Series, both are incredible superhero shows and are the top two best superhero shows of all time, animated or live-action.
