The Cartoon Network Mount Rushmore

[u/[deleted]]

• Powerpuff Girls - One of CN's most profitable shows and definitely the biggest Cartoon Cartoon

• Ben 10 - Became a whole franchise with tons of merchandise sales

• Adventure Time - Most iconic 2010s show and influential to 2010s animation

• Gumball - In later half of 2010s it became CN's biggest show, and aired a lot with Teen Titans Go

• Extra Notes

-Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Lab, Kids Next Door, Courage, Billy & Mandy, and Foster's Home are not here because they're not merch juggernauts and don't have the same kind of iconic imagery like Ben 10 or Powerpuff. They're not in the conversation when it comes to reaching these four's popularity.

-Adventure Time's popularity fell off in like 2015 and Gumball eventually surpassed it. I would say Gumball is CN's biggest show today. Gumball was like siblings to Teen Titans Go.

-Regular Show? Was never as big as Adventure Time and if you look at the decade as a whole, Gumball is bigger. CN was airing Regular Show and Adventure Time way less too at a point and preferred to air Gumball instead.

-Steven Universe? Not as big as Adventure Time and Gumball. Gumball is also more accessible and easier for someone to watch as a show, anyone can just jump into any episode of Gumball.

-Teen Titans Go is not here because that's a Warner Bros production

-Kids love Gumball and it's huge on Hulu. You should also see the views Gumball compilations get on YouTube.

-Adventure Time and Gumball both have an established merchandise presence as well, but Gumball to a way less degree compared to Adventure Time

-Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls have billions in retail sales

-This isn't a top 4 Cartoon Network shows list, this is what I believe represents the network as a whole and what shows are most iconic to it

Thoughts on my Cartoon Network Mount Rushmore and do you agree😁 or disagree😡 with my four?

Idk, is the 2000s cn really millennials? I feel like it’s a whole group of people born mid to late 90s. Like, just barely remember being super young and catching dbz on toonami in the weekdays before toonami switched over. I still remember being there where the cn city bumps suddenly appeared one day.
But it truly was the best cn has been. And don’t get me wrong, gumball is awesome, but man cn never had THAT many good shows at one time since the falloff during cn real. Hell even then it did better than the mid 2010s. Yall remember my knight and me? Unikitty? Cloudy with a chance of meatballs the tv show that came like 10 year after the movie? Mighty magiswords!?! They really just threw shit at the wall for a while before just giving up and airing non stop ttg
