CN currently has what I consider the best American-made animation out there today - Billy and Mandy. I really like it. The first episodes were pretty lame, but the series got really good over time. Plus it kind of works that "creepy" angle, which gives me some nostalga of Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Yeah, when Billy and Mandy first came on I was just like: "...
" Then, they started making it less comic-ish (They took away the titles for actions, like if someone kicked something in the old episodes, it would always say "Kick" or something like that by it), and they made Billy more of an idiot, and Mandy and Grim defenitly changed their everyday attitudes. That's when it started to get good... I also liked how in Billy and Mandy plots continued, like when Nergal became his uncle, they
kept him his uncle, and they just didn't show him again, or have him not as his uncle.
I've always perferred CN, I like some of the roxxom shows on Nick, like Fairly OddParents, Avatar (My parents like Avatar, too! So they will watch it occasionally too
), and
I'll watch Spongebob when it's on... XD But then they added shows I couldn't just bare to watch an episode of, like "The X's". (No offense to anyone who likes it), but I despise that show. I like the older ones. I remember watching "The Brain" when I was a kid in the mornings, and Angry Beavers and Ren and Stimpy and all. They need those back, luckily I have Nicktoons though. xD I still don't get why they put "Yakkity Yak" on Nicktoons, that show is relativley new...
As for CN, some shows I've always liked that are ye olde are Courage, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Tom and Jerry, and so forth, and those were great, and I like how CN has the "Cartoon, Cartoon!" Shows still on, so you can still see the old shows without getting some weird channel. And they also still show Tom and Jerry, for the summer I think it's on really early in the morning, but during the schoolyear it's on at like 1:00pm -> 2:00pm, and it's the original stuff, too. I also remember Scooby-Doo, they totally RUINED that show with all the new ones. The old ones were awesome, especially the one where they always had a special guest on it. That was awesome.
For the newer shows on CN, I like Billy and Mandy, FHFIF, Zatch Bell!, Code Lyoko, Camp Lazlo, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Xiaolin Showdown (Shat up. I love that show.), and various others, but I remember when CN started adding those stupid shows, like Atomic Betty and Robot Boy and some other I forget... (No offense to people who like them). But that was annoying. And I haven't seen Squirrel Boy yet, and I'm not really psyched to see it. It looks pretty crappy... >_< I don't think I should judge it though, I thought Camp Lazlo looked stupid, but now I love that show. They made it awesome.
For Nick at Nite, I LOVE the classics, I'll watch them if there is nothing else on and enjoy them, but I don't like any in particular. Yeah, they are good, but not that good. You always gotta love the classics, though. XD
And finally, Adult Swim. The shows I watch on that are, Futurama, Family Guy, and Pee Wee's Playhouse, Aqua Teen Hungerforce, and Full Metal Alchemist. All good shows, trust me, I like them, and they will soon be getting Bleach, my second favorite manga of all time. I can't wait. The shows I think they screwed up on were Tom Goes to The Mayor, and The Venture Bros. and Minorateam I don't even get ANY of those shows, and I don't plan on watching Minorateam, that just looks stupid. Especially those commercials. I'm really excited for Bleach though. I seriously can NOT wait for that show, I just pray they don't butcher it to high heck.
So, after a long post, I'mma say this, I like CN better, though Nick is good, I haven't watched that thing in months. Seriously. The newest show I remember that was on when I was watching Nick was the one when Timmy wished for a big brother in Fairly Oddparents. I watch CN everyday, and same with Adult Swim, so you would assume I like those better. Though I still think Nick has some great shows, and they should add some kind of program like CN has with Cartoon Cartoon, and still show the same shows on a channel that comes with basic cable, so there would be less fuss. But that's just me, maybe other people disagree with me here. XD
I find it embarassing I can write so much about TV channels and so little about religion and politics
Edit: Oh yeah! Those old gameshows! I love those! Luckily I have Nick Gas, and that's like ALL they show. I loved how in the video game one, they refrenced Sonic alot. I always liked "Guts" and "Double Dare" (Not Double Dare 2000 though, that show was meh). The Legend of The Hidden Temple was also great as the rest, and awesome. Nick Gas is one of the best things Nick has made. I remember Global Guts, I always rooted for US, and I remember they even tracked the metal count. Awesome. For Double Dare, the questions were always things I tried to answer myself. That was fun, and the ending obstical course was awesomeness. Seriously. Anyone remember Figure It Out? That show RAWKED! I remember watching it and always trying to get it, it was pretty hard at times. I was also amazed by the talents they had, I can't remember them all, mostly the Figure It Out Wild Style ones, with the pets, that was cool.
So in my second conclusion, Nick would be much better if they brought back some old gameshows and added that program that had a bunch of the old shows in like an hour segment, like Cartoon, Cartoon.
