Best Shows on Nick, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Discovery Family, Sprout, Smile of a Child, and PBS Kids of 2016

NOTE: Do not add any old or cancelled shows, because those aren't considered modern. Also, since the list includes Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, you are free to add Nick Jr and Disney Jr shows, since those also count as Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

Also do not add shows from other channels than the ones that I mentioned
The Top Ten
1 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. 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.

Was a really good show. Had lots of spark and potential in it and was mysterious and spooky enough to grab the viewers attention, as well as throw in some laughs and adult jokes. Sadly, good things don't last forever, and it ended. But it still had one of the best endings to a T.V. show of all time. Never going to forget this one.

Ah man I should've voted for Gravity Falls instead but I still think that The Loud House is good.

It wasn't cancelled it ended at the end of summer.

Should have more seasons

Used to be my favorite but MLP is my new favorite. The bad thing is that Spongebob is ending at around 2019. Please respect me

The new episode was so worth waiting for I laughed so hard

Sadly, loud house got more ratings in June 2016

Spongebob is annoying and overrated.

We are Number One.

25 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.

I do have to admit that while there are a lot of things about this show that I don't like that I do think that the plot is very creative and that I actually kind of like it. Sure the kids can act like spoiled brats from time to time but I'd rather have Gumball than TTG or that blasted Powerpuff Girls reboot. So yeah Gumball is kind of a guilty pleasure type of show for me.
