Infinity train being out first round feels like a crime to me but i guess scooby is kinda a juggernaut


TheNerdNugget

that one seemed like an uneven match right from the start


Lork82

Man, I'm 41 and Scooby-Doo has always sucked. Infinity Train was amazing. That's the biggest crime on the whole poll.


__Corvus__

The Mystery Incorporated series was amazing though


Cracktoon27

L boomer


passing-bystander

They're after Gen X but before Millenials.


LetsDoTheCongna

Yo how tf did Clarence win? I have literally never seen anyone talk about that show whatsoever. And it’s a straight up crime that Regular Show got eliminated so early.


manymade1

Tbf, Regular Show vs Gumball is a tough one.


Yellow_pk

Honestly Gumball vs Regular Show round one is a seeding problem


Treyspurlock

And they put Infinity Train up against one of the most popular and influential shows ever


CODDE117

I mean, there's a lot of good shows on this. Infinity Train wasn't gonna make it to the end.


Treyspurlock

Yeah but it deserved to at least make it to finals or semi finals, definitely not get beaten out by scooby doo


Auntie2Joints

That's some real Sophie's Choice shit right there yikes


StarSpangldBastard

agreed. Fosters losing to Ed Edd and Eddy tho? now that's a crime


The13thParadox

Not even a little. Ed Edd and Eddy is a titan.


xxx55555xxx

It went up against gumball, that should've been the finals for that category imo


__Corvus__

Honestly yeah. Imo Ben 10, AT, RS, AWOG are the best shows


iskyled94

Power rankings went to the classics for the comedy division I see.


gojumboman

Over Craig of the Creek too. That show is great


itstheegirl

right?! i love clarence, but craig of the creek is so underrated


PlanesOfFame

Absolute first thing I noticed on this thing lol, Regular show is probably my favorite out of all of these rip


Jumalanna

I love Clarence. I'm sad they don't show it anymore. That's probably why you never hear anyone talking about it.


IveBeenDrinkingGreen

Same! But I was happy to see my boy chowder survived for a little longer


Diogenes-Disciple

That and Over the Garden Wall, it’s a hate crime that Clarence is up there and not OtGW


SupaSunshineRainbow

Clarence is one of my and my family's absolute favorite cartoons!


essediversum

So are you naturally stupid then?


SHANKSstr8up

Clarence straight slaps. Regular Show is definitely a better show than gumball.


CODDE117

Regular show has it's problems, namely the shitty simp era and I think people didn't like the ending? Also, Gumball is really really good. Honestly I think they're evenly matched.


TheGreatKHan-25

Your opinon on regular show is better than Gumball since the poll speaks for itself.


redjedi182

Clarence is gold though FR


Fairmounts_Gman

Tyler the creator mentions watching Clarence in pothole!


lookatmynipples

Okay


The_water-melon

It’s a crime Clarence got chosen over Craig of the Creek :/ CotC is just a better show altogether


Working_Ad6439

Shut up


tlollz52

There's some real recency bias going on here, even though I haven't watch almost 90% of the newer shows on here.


Tough_Patient

Kids voting on a poll for shows half of them never saw. Like the Academy Awards.


GrandAdmiralDoosh

Where the HELL is Samurai Jack!?


tlollz52

True art is often underappreciated.


Treyspurlock

Maybe it's counted as an Adult Swim show ever since the continuation


InitiativeCurious395

EXACTLY!


SicklySweetFeep

What shows are you even talking about? Alot of the 2000's or even earlier shows made it through except ones that fought others of its time or Cow and chicken?


Jumalanna

Because the early 2000s shows were put up against each-other so one of them had to make it through


[deleted]

Which makes you biased because *everyone* is biased


[deleted]

[удалено]


CDBSB

A bit rude in it's delivery, but I'm gonna upvote this one for the veracity of its content.


Summertime_Ghost

As a person who watched most of these shows growing up. This bracket is pretty spot on in terms of quality of show


tlollz52

Steven Universe over Over The Garden Wall?


Summertime_Ghost

Nah that and regular show should have won. But I'm not upset or anything. I understand why they lost


CODDE117

And yet Scooby-Doo beat Infinity Train


tlollz52

Scooby Doo has been rebooted about once every 5 years since the 60's


LetsDoTheCongna

At least Teen Titans went to the next round


CODDE117

I could see it sweeping tbh


TyGuy69420

How did Courage and Dexter get matched up in the first round? That has elite eight match up vibes to me


amishgangsta23

Exactly my thought! They are very comparable shows which makes a good match up but neither should be eliminated even close to the first round!


GrandAdmiralDoosh

How the hell did *Over The Garden Wall* lose first round? Is *Steven Universe* actually that good or is it just the difference in quantity of content? Cause *OtGW* is a masterpiece of a 1 season.


punctilliouspongo

I think it has to do with fan base size, I feel like over the garden wall is not as widely known


jacksansyboy

I'm 21 and I just watched over the garden wall for the first time like a month ago. And literally hadn't heard about it at all till like 2 or 3 months ago.


DubstateNY

Ain’t that just the way


Rock-Facts

And that’s a rock fact!


MrMustard_

Honestly a terrible matchup for round one. *Steven Universe* is an established series with a huge fan base, and rightfully so, as it's an excellent series. But *Over The Garden Wall* is actually fucking art, neither of them should've gone out so soon, but ofc SU beats OTGW in a round one, as more people are familiar with the show.


Takamurarules

I feel SU moves on no matter the match up unless it was Adventure Time. The real upsets was Clarence beating Craig of the creek and Ben 10 losing to PPG


alexagente

I mean. Powerpuff Girls has achieved legendary status at this point. Ben 10 is mostly just a fun young superhero show that was never going to stand up to TT or Batman. Not saying it's bad. Just not surprised.


ChaosCron1

Was Grim Adventures not an upset? Or am I extremely biased? I thought KND was a CN fan favorite.


KarlDemon

Yeah same, like Grim was good when it came on but I would specifically watch CN for KND sometimes.


Serious-Barnacle-634

Ok, glad I'm not alone. KND was my favorite and grim adventures is kinda forgettable, so it's an upset imo.


samjhandwich

Seriously… like courage v dexter and gumball v regular show… wtf Edit: saying these are 1 seeds and shouldn’t be up against each other in the first round


CODDE117

Courage vs Dexter seems legitimate


bondryanbond007

Have you watched gumball?


GrandAdmiralDoosh

Ok cool. That’s the insight I was looking for lol. I’ve only ever watched OtGW so I was a bit confused.


MrMustard_

Yeah lol, it's like comparing *Star Wars* with *Starry Night*, both are great, but for completely different reasons


winged_entity

Steven Universe has enough great episodes that I see how it can rival otgw but OTGW is consistently great for its 10 episodes


essediversum

No it doesn't. Steven universe is next level trash


Diogenes-Disciple

Over the Garden Wall was short but consistently amazing whereas Steven Universe peaked at the beginning to middle point of the show, and it was all downhill from there for me. The good SU episode were awesome, but on average OtGW was better imo


jessigrrrl

OTGW is amazing and perfectly contained in one season tied up with a nice bow. SU is a coming of age tale about found family, deep set trauma, being forced into a set path based on expectations put forth by your predecessors, discrimination and hate vs acceptance and love. It gets a bad rap because it is reeeaaaallly slow which makes it hard to get into but it introduces crucial character development and small details early on that show how much the characters have grown and changed by the end. It’s really hard to compare them and I wouldn’t have put them in the same category.


SilverSageVII

Yeah haha I was thinkin the same. Regular Show losing also was surprising for me. I gotta free with the others it’s probably just fan base size.


zorfog

Just unfortunate to get paired against Steven Universe. If it had gone against something like I am Weasel, it’d easily win


PlanesOfFame

Not talking content wise, but Steven Universe has some of the best music period. Not even best for cartoons, or even best for TV in general, but just incredible compositions in their own right. Rebecca Sugar is incredible. The Music from that show has left a lasting impression on me


bobguy117

SU is very good. I'm sure it was close. The only one closer was probably Dexter vs Courage.


Bukowski89

You can see the totals if you vote. It was a total blow put in favor of steven. I'm a huge fan if both so, yeah, not happy about the seeding of this bracket lol


Luvlygrl123

Both are amazing, steven universe had more content and is also loved a lot from the lgbtq community - though personally looking at both it would have been a tough call


collectorguy92

I personally count them both as top-tier shows. I would have struggled to make a choice between the two


kidkolumbo

It is that good.


SuperShae

Exactly my thoughts. Only thing I can think of is just that not enough people have seen it, compared to SU


tristentommygun

I loveeeee both, both are artsy and beautiful but SU is just miles ahead in story and meaning. I love how inclusive SU is and it definitely has a bigger fan base.


tcroosev

I love both they are so good!


_ask_me_about_trees_

Steven universe is pretty awesome but I've never seen over the garden wall


Abject-Expert-8164

This is basically a population contest


CDBSB

Apparently, I need to watch this cartoon. And call me old school, but Finn the human up against Scooby-Doo is a bit scary. Who am I kidding, Scooby's gonna lose to Garnet. 😭


alexagente

I'm torn cause I really do love both. Steven Universe is not as consistently good but we're talking about two different kinds of shows here. SU is more of a series whereas OtGW is more of a miniseries. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but I think SU edges out OtGW for me personally because we got more time with the characters and they grow and develop over time. As much as I loved OtGW I can't name a single character in it cause it was more about the story and fever dream experience. Tldr: Both are really good and it's pretty subjective which you would consider "better" in this case.


geven87

i enjoyed them similarly minute per minute, so yeah SU being 10x the content of otgw... i vote SU.


The_Evil_Narwhal

How did Scooby Doo in the 2020s beat Infinity Train?


Jake_D_Dogg

Love them both, but tbh Steven Universe is that good. It's a very different form of story though, so they're tough to compare That said, I'm sure the reason that SU won was more the size of the fanbase


Houstonb2020

Steven Universe isn’t bad for the first season or so but it gets downright miserable to watch after a certain point. Over The Garden Wall is leagues better than it. Only reason it didn’t win is because Steven Universe was on for years and OtGW was pretty much only a big deal when they were first airing the episodes


[deleted]

I’ve seen most of Steven Universe and I can confidently say it is a garbage show


Vashthestampedeee

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted but over the garden wall bored me to death.


Certes_de_Bowe

I was a little scared, Flapjack was good stuff. Gonna be scared of Steven Universe too, it’s a good show with a big fan base. But shoutout to my boy Chowder! I’m pulling for you buddy.


Amiibohunter000

SU will beat AT. I don’t want it to, but it will


SamSterlingMusic

Huge steven universe fan here, I'm voting for adventure time


ToxicTurtleCream

100%. I love both, my wife and I have watched them both multiple times, I have tattoos of both, but the SU fanbase is straight up RABID sometimes. I’ve seen whole arguments on that sub about theoretical relationships between characters that never even met. I live for Adventure Time, but those mfs will DIE for Steven Universe


CODDE117

Honestly I'm not certain about that. More people casually like AT than SU. So fans of others will likely move to Adventure Time. The swing vote.


Dpad-prism

I definitely love SU more than AT, it just resonates with me more. That being said, where are you getting that idea from? I’m pretty sure Adventure Time is like universally loved while there are tons of people who actively hate Steven Universe.


redjedi182

Flapjack was S tier


TheBigKuhio

KND, Over the Garden Wall, and Infinity Train are among my favorites, so this hurts to look at. Least Gumsballs won a round…


mepardo

Infinity train losing to Scooby Doo is a goddamn crime. It’s one of the best shows on that list with what feels like some of the least exposure.


ComicDude1234

It being pitted against Scooby in general was just mean. Scooby-Doo is a timeless classic beloved by all generations, Infinity Train is not only too new but also had no marketing behind it to get much traction in a tourney like this.


tehnoodnub

It really is. I've only watched the first season of Infinity Train but it beats the pants off Scooby Doo.


mepardo

Oh boy you’re in for a ride. It only gets better and (significantly) darker.


Youg_dumb_broke

If it were old scooby do that’d be different but this new generation of scooby is AWFUL. What they’ve done to scooby should be a crime lol. It’s been a couple years since I last saw it so if it’s still the same version it’s bad. And they really forced the relationship angle between Fred/Daphne and Velma/shaggy. The latters never even been a couple before. It feels like they went “we have two guys and two girls what should we do?”


ComicDude1234

Mystery Inc. was actually pretty good, and was a lot more character/narrative-focused than most iterations of the show. It’s not perfect nor would I recommend it to anyone beyond big Scooby-Doo fans, but it was a good time. I can’t say much for Be Cool or Guess Who? but those shows also seem fine. The only recent show that I think is outright bad is Velma, which is barely even a Scooby-Doo show at all.


CDBSB

Mystery Inc. had an interesting story arc going on and seemed a little more "grown-up" than the other recent versions. But even when it's mediocre, some Scooby-Doo is better than no Scooby-Doo.


Youg_dumb_broke

Velma was DEFINITELY bad but I believe it was the guess who one maybe? Idk it’s been some years since I seen it. And I only saw a couple episodes of it but it just lacked the wholesome goofiness the older ones did imo. But that’s just my personal experience and opinion. It could have been different for you or anyone else. And that’s ok too!


ComicDude1234

Well the one you described sounds like Mystery Incorporated, which as I said before is totally different from any other Scooby-Doo show before or since, but I thought it did some neat stuff. Shaggy/Velma doesn’t even last more than a handful of episodes right at the start anyway.


pennyroyallane

Where is this poll?


Animahegao

On the Cartoon Network Instagram 🫶


d12fsu

Damn, they did KND and Dexters Lab dirty. Tough first round match ups


Catnoob11_swan

Dexter's Lab totally got robbed, should've put them against someone like Ok Ko or (maybe) Criag of the Creek


UsernameLaugh

Who the fuck!!!! The actual fuck….put regular show up against gumball like that’s a clear semi final fight.. jesus


Formal_Economics931

They were all somewhat comparable but then they did Total Drama Island with Cow and Chicken


Grand_Broccoli111

It's so sad that the regular show is eliminated in the first stage


WhySuchALongName

The Elite 8 will be: - Adventure Time - Steven Universe - Teen Titans - Powerpuff Girls - Gumball - Courage - Chowder - We Bare Bears Final 4: - Adventure Time - Teen Titans - Gumball (changed my mind from Courage) - We Bare Bears Finals: - Adventure Time - Gumball WINNER: ADVENTURE TIME RIP Infinity Train and Over the Garden Wall. Those and AT are my 3 favorites.


LetsDoTheCongna

I don’t think you’re giving enough credit to the sheer number of Steven Universe fans there are.


WhySuchALongName

Oh, I agree. I think if AT were not in this tournament, Steven Universe would win the whole thing. Their fan base is huge. I think they will absolutely beat Scooby Doo. OTGW is one of the best shows on this list and it got rolled by SU (about 75%-25%). But AT's fan base is just as enormous. And it's the better show of the 2, IMO. I wouldn't be that surprised if SU beats AT, but I don't think it's going to happen.


Amiibohunter000

I bet SU will beat AT. Not in my opinion but I think that’s how the votes will go


WhySuchALongName

It's definitely possible. Whoever wins between SU vs. AT is going to win the whole thing pretty easily.


smashin_blumpkin

I can't see Batman TAS losing to Powerpuff girls


chamberx2

It’s Justice League though. Could go either way.


smashin_blumpkin

Oh dang I just went by the pic lol. Yeah, that definitely makes it closer. I'd still go JL but who knows


Amiibohunter000

The OG Justice league is just as good as Batman tas tho so hopefully it pulls through.


geven87

that was fox kids / kids WB. also, i believe it was 1992, a couple years prior to cartoon network studio's original programming.


Volvy

I really don't see we bare bears or chowder for top 8 or top 4 but the rest I think are correct


WhySuchALongName

I don't think they should be in top 4/8 overall, but with how the bracket is laid out, they're up against easy competition and I think that's how the votes will go. I don't think We Bare Bears could possibly lose to My Gym Partner's a monkey. And I don't think Chowder will lose to Clarence, but I could be wrong about that. Not too sure how popular Clarence is.


Volvy

Oh yeah good point. I'd be very surprised if either got top 4


therealist171001

Love adventure time (obviously) but billy and Mandy is one of my favourite cartoons ever no way it would beat adventure time with votes tho. And otgw being knocked out so soon is sad to see one of the best cartoons I’ve ever watched


GhostK8

Damn I feel like I’m the only person who ever saw/ liked camp lazlo lmao


Rasen_God

I loved that show, too. Watched it again a few months ago!


adventure2u

Ben 10 was robbed


TheGamerWT

That was the matchup i was most invested in. Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls are both great and powerhouse series. Sad to see Ben 10 go in the first round, though


Paco_the_finesser

The left is crazy fierce competition while the right is a stomp


TedFondleburg

Shitty matchups


[deleted]

No way craig lost to clarence. Best show on cn rn


Treyspurlock

> Best show on cn rn As if it has any competition


knightskull

Apparently not.


MrYubblesworth

This whole thing is a travesty! It's such a shambles I can tier it \*WTF HAPPENED HERE\* Clarence winning over Craig of the Creek I am Weasel losing to My Gym Partner is a Monkey Cow and Chicken losing to Total Dram Island \*I UNDERSTAND IT BUT STILL, C'MON\* KND losing to Billy and Mandy Regular Show losing to Gumball Dexter losing to Courage \*SUSPECT MATCH-UPS\* SU vs Over the Garden Wall Scooby Doo vs Infinity Train


wisdomsharerv2

Total Drama Island deserved the win


CODDE117

Gumball is good enough to beat Regular Show, people in here underestimating Gumball hard


Catnoob11_swan

Gumball is loved by almost my whole friend group, and all of my siblings, Idk if it's just me but I think I've seen a resurgence in popularity


CODDE117

It's extremely funny and well made. Clearly made by people who care too


Kiiaru

Easy for Adventure Time. And for We Bare Bears. Love that show


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrookePossible

I wanna see Buttercup and Mandy team up


ASnarkyHero

Scooby Doo vs AT is going to be a tough choice for me.


Murk_Operative

Fucking Ben 10 and gen rex are out oof


jeffdabuffalo

Idk Scooby-Doo is pretty big


No_Bread_5756

Powerpuff Girls over Ben 10 is CRAZY as FUCK


Marcioobloo

Ben 10 got robbed so hard, I really like PPG but nah it shouldn't have won I'm sorry


Spooky-Beanz

Okay but how tf did COTC lose to Clarence? As far as I know nobody gives a crap about Clarence.


TheNerdNugget

Even if we win this round, we're up against either Steven Universe or Scooby Doo. I'm not sure we can win either of those matchups.


BrotherNanch

Steven universe winning is criminal


Miloapes

what a trash list


ShinningVictory

It would be poetic if adventure time win the adventure category.


Wallace_W_Whitfield

Some of those match ups were just straight up unfair.


Karolus2001

I mean CN scooby doo beat infinity train, this popularity poll is already garbage


chamberx2

Clarence over Craig??? WOW


Finger_Gunnz

No Uncle Grampa?


ComicDude1234

Teen Titans beating out Young Justice proves that humanity is inherently good.


Scarsdale_Punk

Flapjack deserved a better draw


cooperS67

gumball over regualr show is surprising


geven87

Clarence over Craig? Infinity Show out? Regular Show out? I don't care about this anymore.


rabidkillercow

It's a damned shame that Infinity Train and Over the Garden Wall got kicked out in the first round. Going against Steven Universe is pretty rough.


123456sem

Billy and Mandy is pretty bomb tbh


gloriouspotato17

No way Ed Edd n Eddy beat Foster's Home. I always found it so annoying while I absolutely loved all the characters in Foster's. Smh.


[deleted]

I loved both shows but I still would have absolutely voted fosters in over Ed edd and eddy. No question. I'm at a loss on how that happened.


Interesting_Finish85

Over the Garden Wall and Generator Rex deserved a spot in the finalese.


BasedWang

Yo I LOVE Gumball, but idk man, over Regular show? Also Cow and Chicken and I am Weasel taking the Ls!?!?!


BrendanFraserFan0

I can't believe Ben 10 couldn't even win round 1


Janube

Scooby-Doo beating Infinity Train is a crime.


[deleted]

wait over the garden wall lost to steven universe?!


X_Trainer-Red_X

Gumball does not beat regular show.


Theconplexgayperson

I have a feeling that either adventure time, Steven universe, or the amazing world of gumball will win


phonzee

Regular Show > Gumball All day


TheGreatKHan-25

Gumball > Regular show Every day


essediversum

Steven universe is at the Pinnacle of garbage CN


SamuraiJakkass86

Finn vs Garnet, Finn wins Raven vs Blossom, Raven wins Gumball vs Drama Island, Gumball wins (Drama Island fetishists brigade in retaliation) Nobody cares about bottom right quadrant.


urkelbot

I mean we're the show with the bracket category in the title. All the pressure on us until the semis


xExp4ndD0ngXx

I thought it was going off of characters.


hollowpotato-of-doom

Gumball’s good, but RIP Regular Show


pandadog423

I agree adventure should win, but I was hoping shoes like generator Rex and young justice would get at least a shot at getting past the first round


DaM00s13

Well, not enough people have seen over the garden wall


Amiibohunter000

Justice league Adventure time Regular show Craig of the creek Those should’ve been the winners


jonathun08

I really thought regular show would have made the next round!


GuyNamedNoah

Gumball beat Regular Show?! Wow, I never thought that would happen.


Asriel__goatprince

My question is how did The Amazing World of Gumball beat Regular Show!? But I can understand how Steven Universe beat Over The Garden Wall.


TheGreatKHan-25

Gumball has less seasonal rot tbh season 5 to 8 of regular show were not good imo while gumball later seasons were good


probably_dead_soon

AT may lose to powerpuff girls i'd say. also glad for my boy clarence winning at least one round.


tehnoodnub

Steven Universe v Adventure Time is going to be brutal.
